Marriage and Divorce Problem fo be Sf udied By the United Church The United Church of Can- ada is going to study problems relating to marriage and di- vorce. Dr. R. S. Hosking, General Secretary of The National Council of Young Men's Chris- tian Associations of Canada, has been named chairman of a Commission to study Christian nmarriage and divorce. The Commission was authorized by the i7th General Council. For many years Dr. Hosking was the Judge of the Toronto Family Court. The Secretary appointed to the Commission is Rev. Frank P. Fidler, Asso- ciate Secreta-y of the Board of Christian Education of The United Cburch of Canada. One of the f irst tasks of the Commission will be to define the areas of concern and to dis- cover the problems facing the Local.

Ministers in pastoral work will be -invited to participate in a survey to discover what kind of pre-marital counselling or education is now being giv- en in the United Church. A previous Commission on Christian Marriage and the Christian Home, whose Chair- man was Chief Justice J. C. McRuer, reported to the Four- teenth General Council in 1946. That report is now out of print. Anyone having a copy which they can spare will as- sist the present Commission by sending it to the Rev. Frank P. Fidier, Room 523, Wesley Building, Toronto 2B, Ontario. f-Aen' s Canadian Club Hear Startling Report 0f gussian Brutalities- A start ling picture of Russian brutalitý durîng the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was gîven to the Bowmanville Men's Can- adian Club at their regular meeting in the Trinity United Church Hall on Jan. lSth. Speaking from first hand ex- perience was Imre Nagy, Ph. D., a recent Hungarian immi- grgnt to this country. Mr. Nagy taught languages in Hungary and sînce 1952 was an instruc- tor at the Budapest Military Academy. Many of his own Étudents participatee ini the re- volt. The guest speaker is fluent in six languages and at the moment is teaching at Cobourg Collegiate. He was introduced to the Canadian Club by Col. Gordon King, principal of Co- bourg Collegiate. Freedom Lovlng The Hungarians are a small but freedom ioving group of people, Mr. Nagy told bis audi- ence. They opposed their own Puppet Communist government as well as the full might of the Comnunism started its rise in Hungary following the Sec- ond World War. In the demoý cratic election of 1946 the Com- munists managed to gain con- trol of key governmentai posi- tions. For the most part the Com- munist growth was unnoticeable an-d it managed to gain control of the country before the peo- pie realized what was happen- ing. Once in power the Commn- let made many changes. One such change occurred in edu- cation when Russian language was taught in place of English, French and German. Changes were also made in the econ- omic set-up with lands, factor- ies and mines being national- ized. Secret Police The Communist governiment iwere able to keep rebelîjous ifreedomn groups in check ithrough the dreaded secret po- .lice. "The secret police", Mr. rNagy stated, "were separated 1from the rest of the people by a wali of hate. Tbey became a state wîthin a 'state." jhbroughout this period the Hungarians had hopes of the Communist releasing their grip on the country but wben no re- lief came, the people simply rose in revoit. The Hungarians' first mass demonstration disapproving of the Communist power was ef- tirely peaceful. However, per- tinent questions arose and went unanswered. One such question was why Russia took Hungary's uranium resources but gave nothing ini return. The following day a larger and more hostile crowd formed and in an attempt to disperse the crowd the secret police fir- ed point blank into the throng. Nearly 6,000 Hungarians fellini the first moments of the revoit but by sheer numbers alone the secret police were subdued. This initial, but sbortlived victory for the Hungarians, le! t Budapest free for a few days. However the Russians returned sbortly with heavy artillery and stormn troopers. After a steady bombardment from the hiils the tanks and troopers in- vaded the city and killed many thousands of defenceless Hun- garians. "The sack of Budapest was unnecessary and an act of blind revenge," Mr. Nagy stated. Since the revolutions the Russians have again taken con- trol but there is still a great deal of unrest which may flare up again the speaker conclud- ed. Mýr. Nagy - was thanked by Charles Osborne.

B. G. Reynolds, who has charge of safety for the On- tario Department of Transport, stresses that such a daily "driv- ing good turn" can turn into a positive habit of driving courtesy, the only kind of ha- bit that has a really good chance of eliminating many of Ontario's thousand-odd annual fatal accidents. At the same time it can bring Ontario the enviable reputation of being one of this continent's more pleasant places to drive a car. The Safety Commissioner has plans afoot to keep reminding Ontario's unofficial "driver scouts", in other words ail the licensed drivers, of this resolu- tion they are aIl being urged to make this New Year's. "Driv- ing Good Turns" mîght include such gestures as: 1. Holding back from block- vice-president Neil Porter of Orono, chaired' the meeting. The sing song was led by WIl- frid Carruthers with pianIst Dave Morrison. ing an intersection so that other drivers can enter a stop- ped or slowly moving line of traffic; 2.
