The chief asset of the pill, say the experts, is that without it too many chil dren are being born into bad families. Even if the pill does produce an increase in premarital sex (which many moral ists doubt), promiscuity may be prefer able to a continuation of the present lev-. el of illegitimacy — now running at six out of every 100 live births. » Among other things, says the art icle, the pill could put adoption^ agenc ies out of business, force women to start making more decisions, change THE YEAR 1960 will probably turn out to be one of the most important sociological dates in the modern his tory of mankind, says and article in the March issue of Maclean’s Magazine.

In the name of liquor control and without due process the commis sioner can put a man out .pf business, enter and search his home at will, im pound his car or simply decree that he eah’t buy liquor anywhere. ,*■ The report says that in the process of evolving fromza temperance ethos we have produced not just 'arbitrary laws but tangled and irrational ones. Opening hours and bar regulations vary not only from province. to province but from city to village and from. Saturday to Sunday. ' v. Nobody outside, Quebec who lets liquor cross his lips, says the report, can be sure that he >isn’t violating some obscure liquor rule. He should at all times brace himself, for an instantan- wniiuw va»aua, nave uie eous repeal of Magna Carta. Moreover, highest consumption; Quebec, with the the jumbled laws cover everything con- most liberal controls, has the lowest per nected with alcohol from the strength capita consumption in Canada, of whisky available to the color scheme —Maclean’s Press Release f of bar stools.. Some recent examples: ' —In British Columbia the liquor banned public showing of a color film on thez 1966 Canadian open golf tourna ment simply because it was sponsored by Seagrams. —In Edmonton the Alberta board refused to grant a license to the airport bar until.the color scheme of the ,bar’s -furniture was altered. —In Ontario drinkers have long be lieved they couldn’t have more than one drink at a time. No such law'exists; it’s just the way the liquor board likes things. ' z The men who dictate these rules, suggests the report, are both emotional ly and mentally out of touch with mo dern Canada. They operate on the as sumption that tight regulations inhibit liquor consumption. But the fact re mains that BC and Ontario, with the strictest controls in Canada, have the k * . I “SO CLOSE to the trees that they when in the public interest, strikes must 1__7________2” is_a saying that not be permitted. A strike iby a hospital staff, for ex ample, could cost lives. A strike in some parts of the transportation and communications field — the post office, the railways — could cripple the coun try’s whole economy. A prolonged tea chers’ strike could delay the education of thousands of children and, for some, - perhaps mean the end of schooling. A police strike could have consequences so tragic they could hardly be enumer-' ated. Further to that final example, when Calvin Coolidge broke the 1919 Boston police strike by calling out the state guard he justified his stand with the statement, “There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, at' any time.” Since Cool idge went on to be elected president, that principle obviously had full public support. The use of compulsory arbitration, when the public’s welfare is at stake and when all other avenues of compro mise have been blocked, is simply an ex tension of the rule of law. It is not dic tatorship. The real problem is to create can’t see. the forest” i could be applied to the Canadian iLabor Congress. A CLC brief to the federal govern ment takes the view that strikes con cern only two parties — the workers and employees who are directly involv ed. The labor leaders are standing so close to their own affairs that they can not see that often the group most ser iously affected by a strike is a third party—:the public. In effect, the Labor Congress tells the- government that a strike is always permissible, that compulsory arbitra tion is always wrong. The CLC brief goes so far as to imply that in this mat ter the present government of Canady is a virtual dictatorship. Ottawa, -the CLC charges, has seen fit to “use , the coercive powers of the state to force striking workers back to work on one occasion and to use the threat of such powers in'a number of others . *; Wp believe very strongly there is no sdlu- tion to industrial disputes . for your government to restrict or deny to work ers the right to withdraw their labor arid comperthem to work against their ______ ___________________________ will.

They are tp be given >n ppponthntt^ fo -their epunrtry’s birthday as a reason for helping people pit side their awn border’s. Thanks for this blessed re lief from the flag-waving and self-psychoanalysis goes to CIDP, the Centennial Interna tional Development Program. It Was almost fos|t in .rthe shuffle, but fortunately has emerged triumphant to. give tihe people of Canada a tangible way of registering their concern for the underdeveloped areas. The' CIDP was adidlpd to the list of Centennial projects a- ibout a year .ago and given the nebulous task of adding an in-, fernational flavor' to the 100th birthday celebrations. A 20- memiber board of directors was established and they settled on a plan to raise $10,000,000 by voluntary contributions to fin ance international development. But the program bogged' down, partly in the sheer enor mity of raising . such a., vast sum, but more significantly in second thoughts about the wis dom of the scheme. Dozens of deserving agencies were effect ively carrying oust internatipnal development schemes, working with small budgets and having difficulty raising funds. If the Canadian people had $10,000,000 in their -pockets to give to in ternational development -they could do little better than channel it to the existing or ganizations. What appeared to be the need was a way to interest. Can-, adianis in international develop ment and then to steer that in terest, into support both for the private agencies and1 the gov ernment’s external grama. The job of doing handed to J. Duncan former executive assistant to External Affairs Minister Paul Martin, and more recently with the James Richardson invest ment firm in Winnipeg and political ’ science lecturer at United College at the' Univer sity of Manitoba. ' Mr. Edmonds has come up with a two-pronged plan: 1. a foundation to ■ promote re search into international de velopment, and’ 2. a Committee Of One Million Canadliams who would make the cymbolic act of expressing their determination to see Canada play1 a greatly enlarged role in- international development. 1 The foundation Would start off with a $25,000,000 govern ment endowment, 'hurt would be set up with an international directorate and be able to ac- . cept private contributions as well. It would assist industries and private organizations in their present aid! programs, in terest other groups in under taking external aid plans and do research for both the private ’and governmental ageindes. Whether or not the founda tion gets into the government’s plans for the centennial parlia ment, the Committee of One Million can have a profound ef fect on Canada’s outreach in world affairs. Mr. Edmonds ’ believes there has been ia serious misjudg ment of the desire of Canadians to respond to the needs Of the world. That is a poilitical way of saying that Canadians’ would not complain if the external aid budget was doubled or tripled. Wisely, the plans for the' Committee have been left ra ther loose. It is not CIDP’s in tention to be able to wave, a million names on a petition, but to get a million Canadians thinking about international de velopment. Perhaps it should be the Committee Of A Mallion And One to emphasize the im portance of the. individual.

O’er green meadows with winding stream5 O’er muskeg, swamp, and sunny dale; , Above the mountain tops we flew, O’er blue Waters lashed with gale. t Above cities and the towns we rose, Not faltering as we sped in flight; Following leader through fleecy clouds, For rest Would come with fading light. And then our leader, sure and true, , Changed course, and we were shown; Below US marshy so lush and green, . For us this would be own new home. I slowly opened eyes wide, and thought?
