AYRES Managing Editor a ategn> Authorized as Secund Class Matl by the Post Office Department, Ottawa FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1962 Bringing up children ore and more the responsibility for bringing up children is being pressed on teachers as parents sur- yender their rights. It is true, of course, that In many cases teachers are more fitted to ac- cept such responsibility than parents. Nevertheless, this is a trend that can only lead to absolute statism, with parents being regarded ultimately merely as necessary for the propaga- tion of the race. There is such a trend today in Communist countries. and Hitler encouraged it with his. homes and ereches for the children of sol- diers and unwed mothers. oo In line with the added responsibil- ity being handed over casually to the teacher by the parents is a brief from British Columbia student teachers urging that sex education should be started in schools at. grade ‘one and continue to grade-12.The brief said that students-should discuss sex with- out shame ‘and:embarrassment; ac- quire-an-appreciation of their roles in the chain“ of: human propagation; be No room ‘- Ottawa is spending more than $255 million to help build technical schools and train. men. to do sktNed work. Many have taken advantage of thig commendable plan to produce a better trained, better educated and better informed Inbor force. But there are others apparently. not inter- csted in improving their lot. As Senator Walter M. Aseltine told the Senate the other day: Too many others, teen- agers and adults, are sitting back waiting for Air of hope pervading new disarmament talks made aware that sex is a natural fune- tion; be taught to look upon sex and love as a constructive force necessary for a happy home life. While the public-spirited attitude of these student teachers is welcomed in that they recognize that the respon- sibilities of society and the home are having to be assumed by the school, the downgrading of parenthood by its inability to train children properly is to he regretted. . | The teaching of sex education should still stem from the home. That it does not do so is evident from the present prevalence of sexual promis- cuity, individual and family instabil- ity, changes in morals and juvenile delinquency. | Too often, the parent evades the issue hecause he knows that the child will always get information on sex from somewhere. However, such a parent is a moral coward who should he made to face his duty. —Red Deer Advocate. for drones some “change” to sclve their problems for them. This is a symptom of the welfare state. Yet in Cunada today, we must depend more than ever on initiative, knowledge and hard work of the individual. Governments can only advise, encourage and assist: But surely the National Employment Service could suggest, if not direct, the jobless to these technical schools.. The unemployment “pay” they now get might be made contingent upon attendance.

Despite initlal skepticism about conference prospects resulting from Russlan aggressiveness on Berlin, some delegates detect a new resolu- tion in the alr as the talks go into thelr open- jing stages, One theory is that more than ever before Russian and the United States — the two powers that really count ~~ are becoming impressed by the accumulation of military hardware and the dangers of some slight miscaleulation unleash- Ing a war that nobody wants, A, As a long-term prospect, it is even possible to conceive of the “big two” coming ta some agreement through an identity of interest in preserving & “monopaly” of power, ok + + In a fluid world, the old distinctions between n menolithic Stalinist Russla rigidly operating INTERPRETING THE NEWS New appeal for Cuban a closed society and a capitalist American neurotically sensitive to any suggestion of “socialist planning’ may gradually become blurred, The emergence of new cducated classes in Russia and a growing hunger for material bet- terment may result in a more bourgeois Soviet state, while in highly developed countries the trend to bigness in industry probably entails increasing acceptance of planning, state Inter- vention and welfare schemes. Russia’s preoccupations include the econo- mic dynamism developing in western Ksurove, the firmer leadership exercised in Washington by President Kennedy and the shadow or Gom- munist China. The spread of nuclear weapons to Mao Tse~ tung’s China would jecpardize Russia's position ag the paramount country of the Communist world. The United States also has powerful reasons for wanting to control the spread of nuclear arms. One of the strongest, seldom publicly expressed berause of publle opinion In Western Germany, is the fear that the federal republic may some day enter the nuclear race, If Germany obtained such. arms, it, would almost certainly end any hope of an agreement with Russie. embargo slated by U.S. By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer Within a matter of weeks, the US, adminis~ [ration is expected to Jaunch a new appeal among the NATO powers for a trade embargo against Premier Fidel Castro's Cuban regime.

Norton ‘Youngs when he says that the short- age of homes in Prince Rupert is the city’s worst problem. There was an ad in The Daily News Wednesday night about 2 house for rent, which had a typoyvraphical error in it and the phone “number piven was our phone number instead of the person adver- lisine. The phone started to ring as soon as the paper came off the press and I can truth- fully say we had 50 phone calls. It got so bad we finally ST eT went to the show. After the first call, I luck- ily found-out the right num- ber and had to pass it on to the people who phoned. So here’s hoping they do some- thing about the housing short- ape. IL proved another thing too. It certainly pays to advertise in The Daily News. . Mr. and Mrs. Michael Karasosky, Prince Rupert...
