International Limelight The publicity that thas been given British responsibility in Greece and Indonesia as a result of Russian and Ukrainian complaints is so much to the good from the British point of view for Britain's actions in Greece and Indonesia have frequently been obscured and distorted by the emotions surrounding these issues and for. political reasons. UNO has much to gain by refusing' to evade delicate issues such as these and the United Kingdom has nothing to lose from an international inquiry into their motives and actions. In "fact Foreign Secretary Bevin in his cfa);ds-on-the-table speech to the House of Commons in November invited, just such action. "Great Britain' he asserted, "will not be afraid and will not in any way decline to have anything it does or wants or seeks to promote discussed in open assembly, at the United Nations, if necessary." It may be pointed out in passing that the cases of Greece and Java are by no means parallel to that of Iran. In the letter, the question was raised not by the United Kingdom government or any third party, but by the Iranian government itself. In fact the United Kingdom government attempted to get the U.S.S.R. and Iran to settle the matter out of court. In the case of Greece and. Indonesia, the question was raised by the Soviet and Ukrainian . delegations respectively Avlthout' consultation' with' the' Greek or the Dutch governments and without attempting to get these governments and Britain , to. settle .out of court. And indeed, Mr. Sophoulos, the Greek prime minister, issuedia. statement , that United Kingdom troops are in Greece at the invitation and with the full co-operation, of the Greek government for the purpose of maintaining order. Canada's Decontrol Policy In outlining the process of 'decontrol, Prime Minister Mackenzie King summed up the government's position in these words: "There is a great deal of difference between a gradual and planned policy of adjustment to post-war conditions, which may involve some modest increase in prices; and a policy of rapid removal of anti-inflation controls. The objective, of the government's policy is to continue to protect the people of Canada from a sharp upswing in prices and living costs, and from the inevitable aftermath of deflation, unemployment and distress. Its purpose is to protect the value of wages and wartime savings. . It is aimed to help open larger markets both at home and abroad, and thus hasten progress toward the high level of peacetime production and employment which is our leading ecpn6mic objective. With the intelligent support of the Canadian people Canada's anti-inflation program will achieve its aim. It will bring our country through the most destructive war in history and its aftermath without the economic and social disruption Which has bee nthe sorry heritage of past conflicts." Co-operation The family is the chief character building agency in the lives of our children, says "Anglican Outlook.'" It has been stated by a child training expert that "the Church alone can never make children Christian, it can not make them religious, it can not even make them moral. If a child from a good home does something anti-social, it is his parents who must be blamed, not h i s Church." It is to be deplored that the modern trend is to leave to the school and Church the matter of the child's Christian education. In spite of the fact that much of the modern child's time is taken up with day school activities, organized recreation,' music and dancing lessons, approximately nineteen' hours of a child's day are still in the parents' hand. Parents pan even influence the five school hours through personal suggestion 'and Home and School Associations. Someone will say that twelve hours of the day are spent in sleep, but even the character of sleep is influenced "by the events of the day and it? closing moments. The quality of the parent's own life is an essential in the education of the child. Children initiate adult patterns of thought and word. Wc teach children through our own ac tions. As the adults in the family act, so will the children. All the details of family life should be Jiftec from the common place to a spiritua level to make the teaching of .the, Sunday Church School effective. It is only as "the Church and home arc Jinked closely together that the live? of ourf children will be strengthened spiritually and become truly Christ ian. " Can "Spring Be Far Off? . -.Well,; it has arrived! It is thicker than during the war years, but the tomatoes are just as red bigger, if anything and new varieties of flowers bloom from the pages: in a riot of ' color. !" We are reminded bv it that earth isoon will be "defrosting" and that an other planting season is almost at hand. Winter is on the wane am only a few more' Weeks of ice ant snow remain. Once it has served its purpose it is as useless as a wrong telephone number; nevertheless in the cellars of many a home today there are bul ging shelves of preserves that bear substantial testimony to its short lived usefulness. Frequent trips to "cold closets" these winter days bring ' high compensation to those who labored in Victory Gardens and over canning kettles. We are reminded, too, that this is not the, year to discontinue these gardens. It is, instead, the year to double vegetable-raising efforts as an indirect contribution to the pro gram of feeding hungry nations de pleteu ot ioou supplies by war.

It will be the attainment of An objective that was planned years ago and now made possible chiefly for two easons. One is that it is the re sult of the leadership of the civic centre committee which carried out the work over along period of time with praiseworthy determination In spite of many difficulties and at times even op position. The other factor is, of course, the support given to the plan by the citizens and In the recent war years by the' many Wartime workers, and members of the various armed forces sta tloned here. The epeninsf will surely be a reward to those re "sensible. But the opening of the build- fn will not guarantee Ihe success of the Civic Centre. There are still oroblems t& 'be .faced md overcome. The iicee.Ss will depend Upon how the Civic Centre will meet the needs of the community. There are some 'per sistent rumors that are not helo- fne the situation and It is in order to brin?: these Wt fn the open that I am writing this One Is that the 'ee'ntre' will b v liable only for. dances, Wft'on hv the Civic Centre commutes. Tt is stated that a local unit-ol. an emrire-wide organization has been refused permission to sta?e a dance on these erpunds. If. the. centre is to bp' run to suit the committee xathf-1 than; to suit h communitv the Civic Centre will never be a community snc- pec Tf mncf snnnnrf th pom ' munlty. If it hopes to .get .com.-J munlty suDport.. The other criticism ts'the lack of soectator accomm6daU6n ifor basketball and other athletic entertainment. The original olan was to ha've' ampte specta-- tor accommodation on the west lde of the aymnaslum. However,, in order to provide living quar ters for the staff or the Y.M.C.A., this side was made into rooms, but the general understanding was that the wall would be pulled down and seats built. Now rumor states that the wail will not be pulled down. If so, spectators will bo very limited in number and a big source of revenue will be lost. Further, tlt would-be. nice Xo know If accommodation, for the city librarjr and museum could be found in 'the Civic Centre. I realize.. that the committee has'very many problems to face but I feel that a statement from the committee to the public clearing up the situation as far as the above mentioned items are concerned would be. all to the good, both of the committee and the citizens as a whole.
