DISCIPLINING ' JUNIOR
There is never a lack ; of advice'. on .. `
how to raise children, and frequently those
who''',have,. never ' .had the responsibility,.',
know :best. how it should be :done.'.
However, no matter from where
comes the advice, it maybe well to listen,
for parents are prop ; tobe blind to . some
of their, children's short comingswhich are
so apparent to • others.
Here's "the ::'latest' "official" r infor'ma-.
tion . we have come upon on . how to 'raise'
Junior. o
When it 'is considered`. advisable , to•
to punish Junior for bad : behaviour, it is .fie:
great mistake to let this take the form :.of
sending him 'to bed without his supper,
shutting', : him in a dark room, or threaten-
ing that some: horrible `creature will come •
after him.. It is a mistake too, . to threaten'
to give' him to a policeman,. If the child is
lost, frightened. or 'n trouble of ' any kind,
he should know that the policeman is . his
besta,friend and `that he should go to the.'
Officer with his troubles. Depriving a child
.of : his. food will have'a, bed effectupon
his health. Sending him into the dark as a
punishment. *will . teach ° him a new =fear..

has a salutary effect.

NATIONAL WILD LIFE WEEK
• In Canada National • Wild. Life Week -
•is observed: during the week of the birth-
day of the late Jack- Miner `which this year
falls .on, the week of April ' 10 - 1, 7.
• National Wild Life Week is not a
week designated ` to 'promote the sale. of.
some merchandise, butt on the contrary is
strictly 'an educational week to help awaken j.
interest in the. conservation of not only
bird and animal life but 'of all God's natur
al resources, and generations tocome will
be on the receiving end of f 'the .efforts put.
forth by men, •women' and children of
to -day.
.Through the • Provincial Educational
De "artments all schools: have been asked
P,,
to make `• it strictly an ''educational week'
stressing the need of .Conservation. • The
Provincial Fish' and' Game Departments:
have asked all sportsmen's clubs _ and out-
door'
utdoor• organizations to ;mak'especial observ-
ance of the week.
In Canada National Wild Life 'Week
was created on April 18, 1947 by an Act'/
of Parliament. The week as set forth by
the Government is -always . to -fall on April
10th which.' is the birthday 'of .the late: Jack
Miner and 1s such an appropriate . timeof

despite the 'fact nof' a defence budget which
