In our city, as in any town of reasonable size in Canada, and through -iut the world, our youngsters in the Hoy Scouts uid Girl Guides can work and play at learning the ,rood citizenship and friendship that they so easily frown upon when presented by mere parents.

Children's Party at the Kremlin By I'll.!, BOSS ' Canadian Press Staff Writer , MOSCOW Children's parties at the Kremlin were a feature of the New Year season in Moscow this year. Parties for the boys and girls, in the Hall of the Trade Unions, Tschaikowsky Concert Hail, the palaces of culture, schools and factories, are customary during the first two weeks of the year, but this year, for the fi'.nt time, the Kremlin, too. was opened to the youngsters. There, for eiflit tlay.s, 4,000 children a day laughed and (aDemonstrationj law-making system.

They nominate candidates to run for parliament. If they elect more than half the membership of the House of Commons, their party used for centuries by the aristocracy of Imperial Russia. They paid five, rubles $1.25 1 each for this privilege. Those attending the Kremlin parties were told to make the most of the opportunity, to walk mound and take in its sights.) Guides in each of the main rooms pointed out the main features and told the children about them. To a Canadian it seemed strange that so much should be made of opening up the "parliament buildings" to the people.

It appears that the government has set its mind to sell the facilities because, Transport Minister Chevrier says, work carried .out by the' drydock in the latter years does not warrant expenditure of public funds for substantial annual deficits and the very large expenditure to rehabilitate the plant and equipment. While we know it would be costly to modernize the plant, from a defence angle alone, the drydock should be retained. If the government could see fit to keep' it going all through the early days of this city and in particular during the depression, surely a way can be seen to keep it now. Based on what is in sight, we believe the dock could pjtt, the naval jdhs from Esqtiima'lt, the government 'doing recondition work on its own boats stationed in this vicinity, and the CNR putting its boats into . drydock here instead of sending everything to Vancouver. Ottawa recently appropriated $000,000 to increase facilities at Esquimalt. Why not spend a few thousand here? In another recent move, the naval department gave yards in the south a $4 million job to recondition two cruisers. This indicates that Esquimalt is unable to do the job. The Chamber of Commerce is to be praised for spearheading the protest against sale of the dock - without making it obligatory that the buyer continue to operate present facilities.
