It is A I&Question of Starting
It 1s nearly twenty years ago that
the observance of Brotherhood Week
was begun in a single Ontario com-
munity. Since that time the idea has
grown until today almost every major
eommunity.,in the country participates.
Most people support the idea of the
brotherhood of man. Unfortunately,
however, not everyone makes use of
the idea as a guide to daily living.
Animosities and prejudices continue to
drive wedges between people.
The barriers cannot be removed by
legislation because it is not possible
to legislate changes in human nature.
But it is possible Io influence human
attitudes by education. And this is
where Brotherhood Week comes in. It
focuses attention on those things. shar-
ed in common by all races and creeds.
But Brotherhood Weeks means mere
than this. - _
It, means' people—people we are deal-
ing with every day. . As the Port Ar-
thur News -Chronicle point out, it
means that new family that mov-
ed into the block recently --did we
drop around to bid them welcome and
ask if there was anything we could do
to help them get settled in the neigh-
borhood? Did we ask the parents to
introduce them to some, of our friends
and find out if they liked cookouts, or
a game of cards? Did we suggest to
our own children that they look after
their new and young neighbors and
make sure they were not left lonely
and ignored in a strange neighborhood?
This matter of brotherhood must
start at home—in our own community.
World-wide brotherhood may seem to-••
be something beyond our reach. Per-
haps at this moment it is. But the be-
ginning is not impossible and the .spirit
which prompts a better -.neighborhood
and leads to co-operation within a com-
munity is the same spirit that, 'given
theopportunity,.. can achieve.._ camper-
able results in a wide field --even ,in a
world-wide field.
It is {just a matter of each of us de-
ciding when to start.
