The power of dis- cipline--extending sometimes to pow- er over lite and death--was left in the hands of the family head. Then, however, in the eyes of the law, minor children were little more than chattels of their parents, Iver since western peoples began thinking of children as individuals with rights of their own their has been a question as to the extent of parcits' responsi- bility. The dignity of the dividual has been enhanced; but society has not yet found a complete substitute for the old absolute, and sometimes cruel paternal authority. Evidence of that' search can be seen in a bill recently signed into law by Governor Harriman of New York. It does not hold parents accountable for their children's delinquency, as some may have assumed. However, where a court has found that parental delinquency (usually neglect) has con- tributed to juvenile delinquency the law empowers the court: to compel co-operation with its orders.

At such times we're likely to think of the advantages so many Ontario children enjoy nutritious food, warm clothing, housing, education . . freedom from want . . freedom from fear, same youngsters are exposed every day to an enemy as vicious as any invading army . . | an enemy that annually takes the lives of thousands of this provinee's children and injures stars seem restrained and normal. The prima donnas of Ottawa heave money around so freely they make even Cecil B. De Mill's press agents look like pikers. A recent example is the Trans-Can- ada Pipeline deal, in which the Min- ister of Trade and Commerce has elected to star. The "chosen instiu- ment" of the government of Canada is dominated by Tennessee Gas Trans- mission Company, and has a record of broken promises as long as both my arms. It has let down Mr. Howe him- self and all the people of Canada, It ought to be tossed off the set and a new cast of players selected; but ap- parentsly Ottawa--once engaged in an of folly--will never, never retract. Unless the People Demand It! - . Unfortunately for thé Ottawa prima donnas it is now pretty generally known that a new dst of players is readily available. Those in the know claim that the Frank\McMahon inter- ests, which built the sueessful West Coast Transmission line, offered to build the pipeline from Alberta, through Winnipeg, over top of the lakes to Montreal, without any grovern- ment financing or guarantee of any degeription, It is rumoured that Mr. McMahon was willing to post a half- million dollpy bond that he'd complete the TIE Trt, that he'd build the line as far as Winnipeg by this winter. But the prima donnas hate to admit they've been let down by their "chosen instrument." Now, on top of all the other inducement they've offered to Trans-Canada, they propose to lend it $80,000,000 of public_money to get started. This sort of activity has generated a good deal of heat and dismay, cven among Liberals. A Manitoba MLA, Jack St. John, has asked Ottawa for an explanation. Liberal newspapers, too, are beginning to ask mighty sharp questions, Manitoba is convinced it could have natural gas flowing through Winnipeg by next winter without a cent of public money expend- ed, and without further dilly-dallying with the Tennessee people, in whom work! many more.

Traffic Accidents! ™ If we want an excuse, it just doesn't We can't lay .the blame for this child slaughter at the door of the criminal - element, for the cars and trucks that snuff out the lives of our children ave, for the most part, driven by ordinary, sincere, law-abiding citi- zens, Most of these people have the wel- fare of Canada and -its children at heart. Yet, through sheer careless- ness, they rob countless children of life . . . bring grief to parents . . . and rob the country of its most pre- cious possession --its future citizens, What's the explanation? As the Ontario Safety League says "The only explanation is they don't realize that careless driving hreeds traffic acci- dents, As long as drivers cherish this blind spot, we'll continue to have traf- fie accidents--many of them involv- ing children." All of us who drive should wake up and face the facts. Its criminally carcless to drive an automobile (1) when you're ill, worried or fatigued, (2) after you've heen drinking, (3) at a speed that's not safe for condi- tions, None of us can say we've never been guilty of careless driving in the past. But we CAN resolve to mend our ways in the future, -- Canadian Statesman. Blackstock A large crowd gathered in the Ree- reation Hall Wednesday night in hon- or of Mr. and Mrs. Keith VanCamp.
