Meanwhile,, I wghld. like 'to asic for your •aid in this matter .0101, I believe,. is important to all of our children. "As mother of .a large family,, I am quite concerned about the current crop of Very Adult movies being shown on OITLAT, channel 10, London, on Friday evenings at 9 p.ro, Our younger,children are allowed to Stay up later on. Friday nights to, watch TV, as is the case in Most families, " In our area we get only ,two channels and for three Melts in a row we could not allow our children to watch Channel 10 because or the type pf movie being shown. ("Ship of Fools" featured sex and lmmorality; "Mickey One" featured fear and immorality; "And God Created Woman" — more sex and immorality. What really angers me is the fact that on two of those nights the` films shown at 11:40 p.m. were comedies that the little ones would have enjoyed. I telephoned Mr.. Armstrong, EDITOR Programming Director for' QFPL-TV, and he said the current trend to adult. movies at 9 p.m. Friday will continue. because it is ."prime time and..haa. a vast viewing audience which demands, "on" IPQVIPS,".

In fact, it was pointed .out that more and more people do their shopping on Friday night and don't bother with TV until after 10 p,m, If any reader is in agreement with the above letter please lend me your support by writing to Mr. Armstrong, CFPL-TV, London, Ontario, protesting that station's Friday night programming. Mrs. H. E. Flaro Varna, October 21 Dear Sir: May this letter serve as a warning to school children and their parents, regarding leaving their bicycles at school overnight. Three weeks ago it was raining, so my son got a car ride home, leaving his new bicycle at school, When he went for his bicycle the next morning, he found someone had completely wrecked the front wheel. The chrome wheel, all the spokes, tire 'and tube have to be replaced. My husband and I used this as an example, to our son, to teach him, he Must' look after,his"own belongings. •• • • Since then I've heard this has happened again to another bicycle, so I feel compelled to at least warn the public, to prevent future reoccurrence of• this destruction.

But a uniformed constable's badge is supposed to be a symbol of respect as well as a means of personal. identification. Canadian attitudes toward non-white races still leave much to be desired. There are Negroes, Indians and Eskimos in Canada who still do not enjoy the full privileges of other citizens. But at least Canada makes an attempt to treat men and women of all races equally, and to show the world that the colour of a person's skin does not necessarily count against him when applying for entry to the country. This then is a step in the right direction, because there are still several wealthy nations in the world that discriminate against Asians, Africans and other nonEuropean races. The best-known one, of course, is South Africa. Apartheid, or the separation of black and white into distinct groups, is an evil doctrine that will not stand the test of time, Less publicity is given to Australia which continues to bar most coloured What aims should Ontario's liquor. policy try to serve? The question is raised by Provincial Secretary Robert Welch's proposal that grocery,stores and hotels be permitted to • sell beer for home consumption, and that some liquor stores stay open all night„ Although a sound liquor policy cannot aim merely at increasing sales, it must obviously make alcoholic beverages available, with reasonable convenience, to the 85 percent of Ontario adults who drink. Beyond this, we believe, the purpose should he to encourage moderate and responsible habits of drinking. Keeping liquor stores open all . night seems unlikely to serve that end. The only thing in favour of it is that it would, probably deprive bootleggers of some business, But it would also mean more drinking — and driving — by late revellers and party-goers who had already had enough. When food stores and other shops are required to close at night, we can see no logic in an exception to favour liquor stores. What actual rights does a child have these days? The basic right merely to live would seem to be the most obvious prerogative of every child born into this world, wouldn't it? For without the right to live, what other rights are there? Yet every day 30,000 children on this planet die of hunger and disease. Every day 30,000 children lose the most fundamental rights a human being can have. And every day, relatively speaking, the world loses — in children — the entire population of a medium-sized Canadian city. That's every day — of every week — of every month of the year — because they couldn't get enough to eat. Now what can a dime dropped in an But Mr. Welch's beer proposal makes sense. The present limitation of retail domestic beer Sales to breweries and to widely separated brewers' retail stores seemsAesigned, to discourage the drinking of this "beverage,of moderation" except in pubs and taverns. At artainly° makes beer drinking at home inconvenient for people who have no cars. The sensible and civilized use of alcohol ought to begin at home, abetted by an 'informational campaign to impress young people 'with the perils of excessive drinking. Mr. Welch also might promote moderation by asking the cabinet to lower the age for drinking in private homes from 21 to 18. A great many 18 to 21 year olds are drinking already, with or without parental consent. A lowering of the home drinking age to 18 would be an official encouragement to them to drink sensibly in a safe environment instead of secretly in automobiles or alleys. oronto Daily Star) orange and black UNICEF Box on Hallowe'en night accomplish in the face of such a mind-shattering daily tragedy? The child holding the UNICEF Collection Box will tell you that one dime will provide 60 glasses of milk anywhere in the world where they are needed. That's a 16t of nourishment. For a very small coin, and a lot of very small coins collected from across this country on Hallowe'en night would undoubtedly keep that medium-sized city full of children who' died yesterday, alive and well today.

Ba ges are to ..be worn When a group of policemen hide their badges, they seem to be announcing a willingness or intent to abandon restraint and order; they come to resemble the mobs they are expected to protect . against, When a constable feels he cannot carry out his duties honourably and accept responsibility for his action; he Should turn in the badge, not pocket it.

As mankind moves toward one world, painfully perhaps, but with determination, the concept of a white Australian fortress in Asia is outdated. . Multi-racial societies are thriving in many nations, despite ever-present tensions that only the passage of time will cure. To reject the great vision of a multi-racial world is to deny the realities of a shrinking global community, drawn closer together by better communications and transport, and by common aims and ideals.
