W. lAMES, EoITol Responsibility of Parents Educationaliâs will readily agree that Mnost discipline problema are a resuit of the home life, comments The Acton Free Press in a timely and thought-provoking editorial. Today as in years past older people are looking with alarrm at the actions of the "younger generation." The major change in the outlook appears to b. that the blame for the activities of this group is being more reasonably placed on the parents and the home life. W. are a people who believe in free- dom but perhaps we've been led too much to believe that freedorn is the only virtue and that authority i: an unreasonable mreasure- to inf liet since it opposes our belief in freedom. Probably the thing we've forgotten i. that in ail things there must be a happy medium. Children mnust be encouraged to express themselves but when the ex- pression reaches the point of rudeness, or sauciness, an authority must be recogniz- ed. It becomes difficuit when in one avenue of activity a child la greeted by a passive expression of authority while fromn another quarter a more distinct authority is encountered. The real danger is when the passive authority criticizes the distinct authority in an attempt to rationalize actions. Then the child wiil naturaily foliow the casier path. The cconomy and the greater earning power which makes fun s available ta chiidren more easily is a tendency that may make a difficuit start for teen-agers. When the supply is eut down or eliminat- ed, the. needs, based on experience remain, and the casier rnethod for satisfying the desire wili be followed. Thus we have pctty thievery which ieads to greater t. is well for parents to consider the home lif. they have provided before cnit- icizing the authonity children are encount- enîng out of the home. Progress of Electrical Power Speaking ta the Amenican Society of Mechanical Engineers at San Francisco, Glenn B. Warren, Vice-President of the General Electric in the United States, said: "Electrical content of our standard of living, and our industrial output, is advancing more than twice as rapîdly as the reit of our economny, and the increased usage of electric power in industry, in bus- iness, in the home, and on the farm is going ta continue at approximately the samne rate of advance for at least the next two decades." Manufacturera of power-producing cquipment are proud of their part in the achievemnents of the electrical induatry over the past 30 years, he said. The power industry now produces 12 times as much tims 1he-ue. Th .ducionin.ue labor lost in issuing Warnings ta aur read- ers, for w. find so often they evidently prefer ta learn the hard and costly way by persanal experience.

Canadians have often been accused by their Areican cousins o! being too modest in boaàiting about their accomplish- ments. As proof o! this one, only neecis look at some newspapers this week that only devoted about thnee incii.:of space on an inconspicuaus inid. page announe- ing "thnt tic CBC iiad won seven finst Slace awards in the annuel American xhibition of Educational Radio and Tele- vision Pnogramsa in 1953". Gosi! If uuch an honor iad came ta an institution in the U.S. the papers there would have blown il up with full page writeupi witii accomp- anying photos o! the winnems. Guess we Canadians are a bit toa modesf, but in this instance we are proud and hiappy ta pass on à verbal ochid ta Chairmnan Dave Denton of the CBC and his accomplished associates for bringing such an outstanding honor ta Canada. And this isn't the first time the CBC has been aWarded such high ranking honora in international competitions. Two Popular Favorites Retire Seeing the announcement in the papers this week tiat two prominent and admnired personalities in their ciiosen pro- fessions are retiring brings up the age-1 aid question: When should a persan retire f rom active partic ipation in their work? First we noticed that grand ai maestro, Arturo Toscanini, at 87 years e a ge had laid dwn his baton as conductoý of the NBC Symphony Orchestra. Thex turning to the sport page it announce( in a streamer page-wide headirig wit] accompanying photos, that Ted (Tleederl Kennedy, populan Captain o! the Torontc Maple Leaf hockey team, had decided t( lay aside his stick and skates at 27 year o! age. Quite a wide difference in the ages ol these two popular "veterans", but theii occupations of eaurse account fon thal difference. However, frorn aur observa- tions we have o! ten con tended that penbonm with music in their ioula have a marked tendency to cxemplify perpetual youth as they gnow aid so gracefully. Anyway, we wish bath a! these gentlemen a happy and satis! yiri retinement as they join tM ever- SrowingFireside Arinchaîr Brigade. It ha.% cen aur privilege ta sec them both iri action, ane on the podium and the othe] in the ice amena. Trend to Friday Night Shopping Aithough a number of Bowmanville n'erchants are definitcly in favour o! local retail stores being open on Friday even- ings tili 9 p.m. for most o! the year, as a group of mnerchapts seem ta have beer slow ta take any definite action regarding it. As may be noted upon investigation a great many smailer and larger commun- ities in Ontario have made the step to open store hours on Friday night. To some people it appears as a backward step since night store hours have gradualiy tended ta diminish over the past haîf century, but it must be noted that there is a new trend making itself feIt. In niany cities and towns in United States, stores, large and small are open on on e or more nights during the week. There4ls a new tendency towards family shopping and only duning night-time hours can a working femily go out together and do its shopping. O! course it is admitted that there is nat a great deai o! pressure being exerted around here by the. customens for night- time shopping hours but the fact that Fni- day night opening is the practice in some neighboring shopping centres should be enough ta prompt local merchants that they should keep up with the. times and follow the trend. Who. Pays for Crime? Tii. select committee of thc Legis- lature on reform institutions has f iled a repart that clears up a number o! miscon- ceptions about the. coat of crime. Tii. impression preva ils and probably has always prevailcd that a convicted person pays the penalty. That, the committee reporta, j: net true. Often he pays a muci less severe penalty than society generaliy and his awn family particularly. Societypays quit. liberally in dollars and cents. The committee reports that an average of about $3.77 a day is paid for the board and room of esch person who serves a sentence in an institution. A persan wiio serves a anc year sentence costs taxpayera about $1,500, and the cammîttee says the figures are net and allow for the revenue of industnial institutions. Society also paya for tic support of the convicfed man's family, through relief and mnot her's allowancc. In Toronto atone such relief avemages about $84,000 a year. A furtiier burden on the public is the. pro- vision of sufficient police protection againat crime.

TH3E TOP S13ELF (By Benjamin Beveridge) Althaugh it is rcally non~e el their business, a good mariy S Canadimn-firsters are .wonder- n ing why The Winnipeg Free rPress went ta England ta get its new editor; but most will at least marvel at the youth of Thomas Kent who et 31 is ta take aven anc o! the mmeut in- fluential dailies in Canada. JDealing with the tinst appre- hension, the implication that the Sifton people could neot find a suitablo jaurnalist in Canada ta take the job is bclied by athen things. For instance, there is scholanly Max Freedman, now 1working for The Manchester 1Guardian in Washington, but who was schooled et The Free Press ini the best John Wesley Dafoe. tradition. There is Blair iFraser, aable newspapen cdi- ton who is now with Machean'a Magazine, and Wilfrid Eggles- ton, who is journalism n ofesser at Carleton Colle ge in Ottawa. Theme is Robent Needham, par- ]iamentary correspondent for The London Free Press, as well as Grattan O'Lcary af The Ot- tawa Journal, and James Me- Cook who has just joined The Journal. But a.s The Winnipeg Free Press was net anly laoking for an odîtor but for a "liberal" editon, the latter three, working& for Canservative-minded news- papen, would naturally b. in- eligible. Sa Mn. Kent is being traincd for the post. although it lu not at once dlean just how similar the Libcnalism of Britain is to the Liberalism af Canada. He is mature enaugh at 31, and has a sound political philosophy gained at Oxford and tram The Economisf and The Manchester Guardian, fan which ho worked in Britain. As for his age, the new cdi- tor elect is net setting a prece- dent by any means. Perhaps if is more aiten the case in Can- ada thmt editons receive thein chairs thnough senianity, but it is net alwayusoa neither in this country or in the U.S. Joseph Howe, the great Tri- bune a! the peo ple, was editor and proprietar et The Novasco- tien when he was only 24.
