HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1948-11-03, Page 214 component colonies grew to, nation- hood and equal. status with the United Kingdom, now, by agreement among its members, has become the Com- monwealth of Nations, So, in a change- ing world, this great association of nations continues, More or less un- changed, At the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' meetings in London recently, in their final conomminue, they used the term Commonwealth without the qualifying adjective Brit- ish, amid thus inaugurated the usage of the new name. The discarding of the • adjective, British, is a gesture of good faith to such countries as Eire and India which feel the need for unqualified assertions elf their independence, and to other member nations like Pakistan, Ceylon and Burma, whose ancient pattern of race and religion is totally different to anything denoted by the word British. The British ineernhere of the Common- wealth are still bound together by common traditions and common al- legiances, and all the nations; in the Commonwealth are bound together by a community of common interests and political 'understandings. The fact that the society of nations which grew to maturity in the British Empire, and later in the British Com- monwealth, is not rigid, dogmatic nor exclusive holds out the greatest prom- ise for survival and enlargement. There is something a bit saddening in the loss of the familiar, long-loved adjective, British, to the Common- wealth citizens of British extraction, just as one would feel sorrow at the loss of an old familiar landmark, as- sociation or friend, but, in this chang- ing, unsettled and perilous world, it is necessary to keep pace with the times and be realistic, A married daughter changes her name but remains in the family connection, and , so it is with the Commonwealth of Nations. The change in name is a sign of growth and not a sign of decadence. * COMMONWEALTH PRIME MINISTERS PLEDGE UNITED ACTION The Commonwealth Prime Minis- ters ended their 12-day conference re- cently with a statement pledging con- tinued co-operation and "all approp- riate measures to deter and resist ag- gression." The formal communique, without giving details, said the confer- es also agreed: (1) To support the ob- jectives of the United Nations as an instrument for world peace, and to work together and with other govern- ments "to establish world peace on a democratic basis". (2) To build up the economic strength of their com: tries. (8) To encourage the utmost pro- duction of wealth so as to achieve higher living standards, particularly in the less-developed countries of the world, (4) To maintain and 'extend methods of consultation among all Commonwealth governments. (5) To support Ceylon's application for UN membership. (6) That Britain's as- ,sociation with other Western Europ- ean countries in defense matters is "in accordance with the interests of the other members of the Common- wealth, the United Nations, and the promotion of world peace." THE NORTH ATLANTIC PACT Recently the Foreign Ministers of the five nations of the Western Union Defense Pact proclaimed their willing- ness to join with the North Atlantic Powers in a military treaty. Canada and the United States have been ad- vocates of this project and have al- ready made verbal committments in that connection. It is expected that negotiations wilt go forward speedily in Washington now that the presiden- tial elections in the United States are over. After many months of confidential discussions the project of a pact among the nations on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean is ready for-formal negotiations. This is a great event in the world's history. It is a recognition at long last that the governments and 'the peoples in these democratic coun- ltries are ready to apply the lessons !of this bloody and tragic century, in which they failed to- prevent two world wars and could not win peace after two victories. At last it is plain enough to all who are capable of learning front these sad experiences that a unified defense ;pact is essential to save the very ex- listence of the North Atlantic detno- icratie countries if they again become /00:0111t:"."

John E. Gibson, writing recently in the Science Digest, gives some interesting ans- wers by leading doctors and research- ers to questions about what makes children "tick." Tests show that the child is' better balanced, mentally and emotionally, than the grownup is, His personality is better integrated, and his actions and attitudes more soundly motivated. He is in short, a better adjusted hum- an being. The parents should teach the child the things they know and the parental role must involve thoughtful dicipline and careful guidance, The child can teach the parent, among other things, soinething that they per- haps have forgotten, and that -is, how to be happy, The ideal relationship between par- ent and child can only exist in an at- mosphere of mutual understanding. Know the child better and the child will know you better. Leading pedia- tricians, psychoanalyists, universities and research foundations give the fol- lowing significant findings: (1) The most important thing you can give your child is love. No amount of care, one single day than the parent does in a week or longer. (4). A child gen- erates energy and burns it up a great deal more rapidly than an adult, His processes of metabolism function at a terrific pace. That explains a child's spurts of unusual activity and need of substantial quantities of nourishing food. (5) Consistent overdoses of shut- eye, the specialists find, can cause your child to wet* the bed, bang his head against objetts ,talk or walk in his sleep, and express himself in com- pletely neurotic behaviour patterns. Enough sleep is essential, but forcing a child to remain in bed in the morn- ing after he awakens may be bad be- cause the child may lie in bed meek, cowed and completely inhibited. (6) Children learn baby-talk from parents. (7) St is dangerous to use fear to make a child obedient. (8) One of the best ways to know your child is to encour- age him to tell you his dreams. (9) Scientific studies indicate that most children have qualities of genius. Give your child a break, Remember that he has a priceless gift, the capacity for original and creative thinking. * * COMMONWEALTH OF NATIONS The great British Empire which had become the British Commonwealth, as ri The Time is NOW!

Voted Best Dance Band On Air Dance Band leaders may come and gee but judging from -a recent New Liberty Magazine Popularity Poll, Guy Lombardo goes on forever. Read- ers and listeners voted his program heard over CKNX, as the "Best Dance Band On the Air." Lombardo's pop- ularity is credited to his legitimate rendition of sweet, smooth melodies, without too much jump and jive. His radio program, heard Monday nights, brings back many of the songs he made famous in the thirties, thus giv- ing nostalgic pleasure to older listen- ers, while at the same time winning the favor of the younger crowd.
