Though Its technological sucesss bvebeen spectacular, it has bien a nàoly, bloody, intemperate and fnhuman decade. tOccasonally it has been brightem- ad by smre significnt humait advance ý- 0ur Centennial Celebrat ions and Bill et Rlghta; the American Civil Rights 131U whlch won for Arnerican Negroes th.fr legal rlghts - rights which have tbeflrrn support of millions- of men of geiod WI, everi though their ful impli- cation ha. yet to corne. This bas been a beacon lightening the strident ugli- teep of a- permissive society carried pefflously toward its logical end, anar- diy. Ini the epic moon flights we have seen humin courage of a high order, and 'the magnificent moral courage of Martin Luther King Jr., the Kennedys and, Tom Dooley. They shattered our corporate torpor, but on balance our Year Toast spiritual and rational assets have been depleted rather than enriched - witneso Biafra. What we need in the Seventies is a resurgence of discipline, especially self-discipline. When men live in com- plex communities, "doing your own thing" is a totally inadequate response. Wîtness the failure of the Rochdale cooperative, dedicated to "f reedom." Freedom is possible only when aduits carry the unspectacular responsîbilities of citizensbip - weighing issues, voting, participating in enterprises that build rather than destroy. Man cannot live in cornpany without sorne rutually agreed-upon adjustment to'others. That is what law is ail] about. A New Year's toast then to patience and self-control. They have been away too long. May we rnarch toward a "just" socîety comrnitted to the tedious, often heart-breaking effort required to ach- leve it. As we corne ta the start of a new year and also to the end of a decade, we pause and bear again the words (as ini the Presidential elections of 1968, "'BRING US TOGETHIER". A sirnilar plea in the Christmnas Season was beard "PEACE ON EARTH, GOODWILL OW2DMEN"., In 1968 President Nixon sfated - ," Wbat this country needs is THE LIFT ADRI VTNG DREAM". Canada niee4b the sarne tonic in 1970! ' FPor nations need dreams, goals tlhey t. seek ini common, wifhin which the w analler dreams of individuals can guide their private lives. - Law-enforcernent, legislatian or an t-dated Constitution cannot maintain 4>ocietyIs at last beginning to delve, Bcmçwhat, into what bas been called the"Battered child syndrome." This Srefefs ta the deplorabie fact that, even ln thus enlightened day and age, there are child.ren, mostly babies, who are severely beaten and battered hy their parents. Here is an international social problemi, confined to no race, religion, or Income stratum. Brltaiz's National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Cbildren re- ported last month on 78 badly înjured children - and said this was only "the Itip of the iceberg." 0f these children, Iail under four years of age, 28 had broken pbnes, 16 fractured skulls and ~~UL~1d4rM. the parental beatings. ~~ow- c ËM such disastrous tbîngs happen? Psychiatrists say that child battering is a universal "cry for help" - from the parents, who are not cap- 1ng *!th life. Sucb parents, mostly between 20 and 30 years of age, have ernotional problems - tend to, isolate themoelves, cannot cape with practical affairs ci life. One study, from the Uni- 'vez'styof Colorado School of Medicine, says many parents are reenacting the treatmnent given tbem by their awn par- ents - a condition transmitted from generatian ta generation. Again, it is suggested that, ta some chli4-beaters, infants and children exist The 5,000 traffic deaths in Canada each year make it difficult ta citîcize any type af highway safety campaign. Nevertheless, suspicion attaches ta safety propaganda which intimates, if il dôes not actualiy say, that ail vehicle - cidents are caused by reckless or neg- ligent drivers. Probably the mai anity are, in whole or part, so caused. But there are ather causes: bad weather, pon roads, dan- genous bridges, mis-Ieading signs and, very importantly - defects in vehicles themselves. The "loose nut behind the wheel" theory af accident causes can be a cov- erup for the real trufh that the most careful driver can be ditched by a loase Sn ut In bis car. The number of vebicles manufac- turers bave been canstrained ta necal for safety adjustments in the recent Federalisrn, discipline or unity in Can- ada if dreams and ideas do flot urge people to go the same way together. For the separatists, the minorities, our Eskimos and Indians, for the problems of the cities, of National Unity and World Order - the past offers no answers. Ou.r leaders, our people, are impris- oned in aid dreams, conventional wis- dom and concepts, unable to relate ta the pace of contemporary change. Look- ing not back or down, wifb our eyes lifted up to the new horizon of 1970 - Let us as Canadians - dream tbe im- possible dream - PEACE IN OUR TIME. primarily to satisfy parental needs, nothing more. The incidence of such conducf is sometîmes commoner in poar families, where physical punishment may seem more normal and wbere there is less opportunify for parents to "'get away" occasionally. Police, social workers, many psy- chiatrists, are aware that this bebavior exists. Ail of society should be aware, sa that cases do not go undetected. Wben babies are brought into bospitals with broken bancs, black eyes, and burns, agencies of prevention sbould go into action immediately. Prosecution of parents does not ai-. ways belp - sometimes warsens the situation and the danger ta the cbild. Separation of the child from the home helps temporarily. Basically, the need is ta get at the cause in the abused mind of the parent. This is no easy task. But mankind can develop a higher sense of love, a more unselfed attitude to mar- niage and its responsibilities and a greater undersfanding of the duties - and required skiils- of parenthooci. When humanity bas a langer sense that happiness cames from being help- fui ta others, there will be fewer with- drawn parents and more of that deep- feit understanding wbicb rules out phy- sicai abuse as unthinkable. -Christian Science Monitor past, is ifs own comment on the situa- tion. Cosfly vehicles, fresb from factor- ies, sbould not be oifened for sale in conditions which requ ire independent inspection ta protect their purchasers. Yet some provinces find if necessary ta compel such inspection by law. Feelings of buyers who discover defects, whether glaringly obviaus or concealed in brakes or steering systems, are not mollified by the statement, often beard from dealers: "oh, you must ex- pect a few little tbings wrang witb a new car." You shauld expect notbing of the sort. New, expensive, precision -machin- es shouid reacb their purchasers in per- fect mechanical condition. Nothing less should be expected or tolerated. Careless driving should nat be allowed ta form a shelter for carelcss manufac- turing. le a Iro r#o qL9"t A McýcDuff Ottawa Report Inflation aind the Weather Inflation ln Canada Is sometimes compared ta the weather - everyone talks about It but no one does anything about It. No one that Is. except former University of British Columbia economist Dr. John H. You.ng and bis com- panions on the Prices and Incarnes Commission.

The Federat and Pro- vincial Governments wil' meet at a conference start, ing Feb. 14 wbere possiblE techniques for dealing wlti Inflation will be discussed. Controls on consumer credit and a lowering af tariffs or some goods will likely hi among topics discussed. Alse ta be discussed will hi tougher fiscal and mnone- tary measures whicb fighi Inflation by creating unem- playment. Thus far, the Federal Gov. ernment has been relylng on these tough fiscal and mone- tary measures as its chief weapons ln the anti-infla. tion battie. It bas budget- ed for a cansiderable sur- plus in its accounting for the current fiscal year and bas pushed Inflation rates ta wbat were once Intimi- dating levels. This action Is like flood- Ing out a fin ta deal wlth a drougbt, Yet these mie-a su re s haven't been enougb ta hait Inflation. The consumer price Index continues ta climb. However the fiscal and manetary steps have bad their predicted result of lncreasing unemployment. Acccording ta Dr. Young, the fiscal and monetary steps alone would be enough ta, beat inflation If Canada were willing ta accept an extreme- ly high level af unemploy- Mt-nt. But If the nation wants to avoid very high unemploy- ment levels. it must accept measures af voluntary re- straint, lie says. Last summer lie put this; argument ta business and labour. Labour didn't ac- cept It - or the voluntary restraints - saying higlier wages don't necessanily cause Inflation. Now Dr. Young hopes to get agreement froni business on a systeni af voluntary restrain ts. The Pnices and Incarnes Commission, of which hie is chairman, is planning ta boid a national confenence with businessmen f r o ni across the country late ln January or e arl1y ln February. At the canference Dr Young will argue ta bus- inessmen- "Accept voluntary restraInts or governments will have ta Impose re- straints on yol". His argument will be bitcked by the Imminence of the federal -provincial con- ference an anti-Inflation measures. He hopes that the bus- inessmen wilI agree ta abide by the volunt.ary restraints systems for at least a year -that they will agree not ta raise prices unless forred ta do so by increases ln the cost ci production or ln labour costs. If such agreement Is; Ob- tained. the commission will quickly move ta establlsh Itself as a reviewer of prices. It bas already taken on num- bers af economists and ac- countants and more would be added as needed. Thus .t would ha ln a position ta judge prie and wage In- creases. Sbould the commission succeed, Dr. Young wilt ha in the unique position ai havlng dons more than talk about Inflation - hopefully te wIll have taken action ta hait 1t. You5 probably bave some predic- tions for the 1970's, as 1 do. Let's sec how they match. Rernember, this is for the whole decade, not just 1970. Let'% get rid of the dirty cnes f irst. There is going to be more and more racial trouble. And this means more and more violence, hatred, killing and cruelty, hotb physical and psychologi- cal. The whites are going to be beleng- ured, and are going te fight back ruth- lessly, most of them. There is going to be more and more pollution: noise, air, water, despite the strenuous efforts of a vocal minority to do somt'thing about it. The aimigbty buck wi]l continue to dîctate policy in this field. Taxes will go on rising and inf la- tion will go en inflating. The anly solu- tion would be rigid control of wages, rent, food, etc., and no politician will have the guts to impose theni. And if ho did, the public would raise a holo- caust of hue and cry that would send hirn smartly back to his law nractice. The standard of living wîll increase, and so will the standard of dying. We'Il have more, things, and we'H kili our- selves faster getting them. There will be just as many poor people in 1976 as there were in 1966 and probably more people talking about it, and doing less. People will drink more and think less. The drug scene will make the Six- tics look like a Sunday school picnic where somebody had too mucb lemon- ade. The Vietnam war will peter out ignominiously. The Cornmunists of North Vietnam will take over. There will be vicious purges. And then the Vietnamese will go about their business of rebuilding and living. Millions of today's hippies will be sick with arthritis and kidney trouble, will be on welfare and wondering why they did it. The Arabs will continue their ef- forts to wipe ouf the Jews and gef some bloodv noses in the process. Husbands will continue to beat up When Dog Is Spelled Backwards versa. Education wÎll go througb its low-ý est swing of the pendulum in 100 years, as the discipline of learning is replaced by having a bal., doing "'projects" and talking when you haven't anything to taUc with, or about. Canada will become a very junior partner of Uncle Sam, Inc. That is, if it fîrst doesn't become a gaggle of mninor republics with about as much Internat. lonal prestige as Monaco. Sounr like a pretty sordid Seven. ties, doesn't it. But it won't be that bad. That's the big picture, and big pictures are often third-rate. as witness most of the big-screen miovies you've seen latelv. In the littie, subjective world where the individual ]ives, it isn't ail black. Babies will continue to be born and chuekle and haive their littie soft bellies blown on and be Precious and funny and itterly delightful for a few years. And the foui brown mud of March will graduall.v give way to the lush green grass of May, and the dead black twigs of winter wîll become the gre mist of April and the rich Joy of Jun And the brutal winds and bitiný cold of February will inevitablv turn into the broiling brown beach of Julv. And the wheat and the peaches wi turn to gold. And the potatoes will corne up plump and f irm and scabless. And lhe fisb will be fat and the beef will be beefy. And perhaps you will do something good and kind. And perbaps someone wil] say something that mnakes you think you are worthwhile. And per- haps you will have model teenagers (bah!). And perhaps you wilI grow in understanding and love. And perhaps your c *at won't have kittens. Personally, 1 think the Seventies will be like most of the other ages of man: black and white; grey and orange, blue and gold. Well, ail we can do is wait and see, chaps. But don't hold your breatb wait- ing for my predictions to be wrong. Just carry on, and live each day as a preciaus gift which will neyer corne to you again. From Farm and Country One of the most perceptive writers of this century was the late G. K. Ches- terton. When observing thaf too many people speil dog backwards, be came under heavy f ire from Humane Socie- ties and misguided animal loyers. Poor Mr. Chesterton was most bewildened and be could only assume, rigbtly we think, that he had uncovered a secret religion. And the adepts of this cult appear as numeraus today as they were wben Mr. Chesterton was alive. Just loak at the neaction ta the animal research bill currently befare the Legîsiature. There bas been more emotion, frenzy and hys- terical utterances on this one small issue than on any other legisiation brought before the provincial House during this session. Newspapers, including Farmn and Country, have been inundated with let- ters denouncing the bill in the most intemperate language. Almost compiete- ly ignored is the fact that Tnedical and veferinary institutions are in desperaf e need of research animais, yet tens-of- thousands ai unwanted stray cats and dogs are destroyed each year. One letter goes so far as ta suggest that insfead of using animaIs in research experi- rnents, scientists shouid use patients in provincial mental hospîtals. Sa mucb for the sanctity af buman ife. Opposition fa the legishation is ex- ceedingly well structured, well financ- ed and unconcerned witb facts and truth. What puzzles many people is that even some clergymen bave become as- sociafed wifh this organized vilification. Possibly f hey have added an aura of sanctity ta the catchword "moraiity" used xith such reckless abandon by those self-righteaus but patbetic ladies campaigning ta save every caf and dog whatever the cost ta saciety. It won't wark. The only morahity perversion ai values! Sunderland, Ont., Dec, 31st, 1969 Dean John: I amn not ashamed toi be a 'square', but amrn ritical and apprebensive ai aur ~extremre-ism'. IL is nat ta aur total gaod that bigness and speed are cnitenion of value. The folles af ex- treme-ism are defended ln the namne af viability and Inevitable change. Bigness, of farms or mergers may give profits wbile issuing In loss ta peace and character. Only the blind do not ses that moral and character lasses came ta communatles where the litthe school and church has been closed. If soilvalues are further deflated, we are ln for trouble. Just how far shall non-discipline ln school and home, and suggestive-ness ln entertainment and law bend- lng ha allowed ta graw? Re- spansible folk must needs volce apprehenslon. Surely reasonable a n d balanced demonstration can ha used with value. But dernonstra- involved happens ta be the night ,) mankind ta use animais for resear. Any moral thealogian worth bis s If will contend that mankind bas a DU ta use stray cats and dogs in,la1 ora ies if expeniments car' head ifa s e buman ]ives. And, another point : anpi- mals bave no nights. Cows, sheep, pigs, cats and dogs and ail the other animais were put on this earth for man's use and profit. Marality again cames into this issue anly wben we look at what happens to man sbould an animal be tneated with cruelty; but the thealogian is still in- tenested in man and nat the animal. Sbould a farmer or city dwelier abuse an animal, he is debasing himself since the acf fosters cruelty in man - same- thing that is immoral. From a moral standpoinf, the only guidelînes given the scîentist and research wonker is that their expeniments should be conducted under reasonable conditions. Nothing more. Sa from this point of vîew, Agri- culture Minister William Sfewart's ieg. isiation establishes a venitable Weifare State for Ontaio's stray cats and dags. Possibly the biggest tragedy af Ibis campaîgn against Bill 194 is the utter waste af so much talent and money. If only these misguided women and par1 sons had canalized their efforts in an other direction! For example, think cU the gaod they would have done hard they backed church air relief ta Biafra with the same tenacity and vigor. Dur- ing 1969 more people wiIl have died in Biafra than during the entire six-year Vietnam conflict and the Middle East wars combined; if is a massive buman cataclysm. When we look at the Ontario ne- search question in tbis ligbt, the apposi- tion becomes almosf biasphemous. May- be dog is being spelhed backwards and then worshipped. What an horrendous ion agalnst reported kihi- Ings af war, need ta be bal- anced by demonstration against the slaughter on our roads. I've 'nat heard of any such demonstra ion. Non bave there been demonstra- tions against the sale and availability ai drugs and liquor. on the surge ai vio- lence and crime that tax aur Police and courts. Witbout pnatest, but aven with sanie support, we allaw irrespons- ibis allen folk ta enter aur land and Institutions, ta thrive and agitate. This Is nat guarding our yauth and Society. Wben the Powers shove up the uncalled-for, permis- sive spesd. and the size af slush-splashing transports, and the avallability of out- lets for 'InspInation', and when It is unsafe for women te, wnlk aur streets, un- escorted, and when it is a hazard ta send aur yanith ta our schools with availa- bility to drugs and hIquor, and when varied 'Ins' per- rait stupId behaviour - ls if nat ime that we turn back toward lMe based on Lbe anclent principles af Jewry and aur Amenican Indiana.
