HARD DECISION HAS BEEN MADE
The eminent novelist Thomas l3.
Costaia has'woven a thrilling story
around the Silver Chalice the cup
used supposedly by Jesus. at the
last supper. This cup when, seen
by believing Christians shone with
unmistakable radiance, but when
viewed by one who though honest
and upright was not a believer in
Jesus and who was Inclined to
scoff appeared as an ordinary 0-
ver vessel such as might be found
in any shepherd's home,
, Jesus, we recall, likened his
earthly mission, and paseipn to a
cup. "That cup, that my Father has
given shall I not drink it?"
As we in the quiet of this. Lenten I
season reflect upon Christ's passion I
and the events preceedifIg it we
cannot but wonder at His faith. He
veiled it, "the cup the Father had
given," It was radiant with God's
love and holy purpose. We would
have said that Wicked and cruel
men had put the cup Into His
hands; men who desired nothing.
More than his destructien. But for
Jesus no Part of life or death could
shut God out.
There is• something in. this way
of thinking of our own •suffering
Worn-out fathers, desperately try-
ing to .be a chum to their children.
It is to them that, my heart goes
out.
- -
don't' know', maybe I'm just
jealous becanse, I Was bornethirty
years too soon.' I was neuter able to
hate my mother for more than
twenty minutes, even when she
walloped me with the yardstick.-
Nor did I ever feel rejected by my
Dad, because he never paid any at-
tention to us except to give us a
dime once in a while. Anal I
thought he was a dandy father. .
Perhaps if I'd been a product of
a Broken Home,. I might have am-
ounted to something. I never got a
chance to be Emotionally Disturb-
ed until 'it was too late to cut any
capers. But just because I didn't
have the opportunity doesn't mean
that I'm going to deny my children
the chance of ' being delinquent,
You'll have to excuse me ' now,
while I go downstairs and start a
fight with the old lady.

I keep reading things that make
ray hair stand on end with 'sheer
horror at the idolatry we're com-

in the. paper some remarks by a
professor of psychology at the Uni-
versity of Montreal. He claimed
that a disturbed child becomes de-
linquent because he is convinced he
is meant to be.
The professor said: "For in-
stance, a child is sent on an errand
with the admonition to bring back
the change, There's an insinuation
there that the worst is expected of
him: Slowly he builds up this 'im-
age of himself, and accepts himself
as the black sheep of the fanaily."
From there, apparently, it is 'only
a hop, step and a switch-blade
knife to a criminal gang.'
Now, isn't that the damnedest
poppycock you've ever heard?' Of

thing you do when you give' him

come home with six comic books

A new branch office of British
Mortgage & Trust. Company was
officially opened at 11 Main Street
South in Brampton on Saturday;
March 15th.

to the community. Also in the of-
ficial party were the members of
the Brampton advisory board of
British Mortgage, A.- G, Davis,
Q.C., Earl K eel3rownridge and
Charles Armstrong.
Paintings, scultpures, weaving,
ceramics and furniture made in
Canada by Canadians, combine to
make the offices both attractive
and functional, Some of the decor
created considerable cOmment
among the visitors. The most con-
troversial subject of conversation
was a wall 'concrete sculpture by
the young Tothnto sculptor Donald
Wallace, depicting the Brampton
industries.
Fourteen-year old Bob Ford of
93 Nelson Street, Brampton was
the winner of the first of three
silver-guessing contests. His esti-
mate of the amount of silver coins
in a golden casket won him
$125.25 -- all the money he could
scoop out in both hands in one
try — plus a replica of the casket.

vices ' savings department,

The Union of South Africa has
chosen to remove itself from the
British. Commonwealth of Nations.
Its decision to do so was brought
about because of the demand by
some of the other Commonwealth
nations, including Canada,. that the
South. African government's policy
of apartheid be abandoned in favor
of a less discriminatory attitude to-
ward its black citizens.
Prime. Minister Diefenbaker's de-
cision to support and voice oppos-
ition to Dr. Verwoerd's regime must
have been frought with difficulties
and misgivings, particularly in the
face of British Prime Minister Mac-
Millan's very evident wish to com-
promise,
As far as we can see the Canadian
stand is the right one. Canada may
well have a great role to play in the
future, as the t bridge between the
emergent African and Asian nations
and the established "big powers".
At this present juncture any wil-
lingness to condone South Africa's
policy of hatred and cruelty would
brand Canadians as the errand boys
- of the power bloc.
-There is one great danger, how-
ever, in the self-righteousness one is
inclined to feel as the friend of the
poor black man. That danger lies.
in the fact that not all the black men
are safely ensconced in Africa, where
we can merely tell the other fellow
what to do about his own domestic
problems. We have a good many
minority groups right here in Can-
ada — and our record isn't alto-
gether tidy. in regard to their treat-
ment.
As an example, think hack to the
war years when thousands of Ca-
nadian-born Japanese were simply
pushed out of the West Coast areas
without regard to the value of their
property or their means of live-
lihood. Come a little closer to home
WANT ADS TELL. ABOUT
B U N ESS
Another faint sign of a business
upturn is to be found in "Help Want-
ed" classified advertising which is
perking slightly in a number of Can-
ada's daily newspapers, writes. Nor-
ton Anderson in. The Financial Past.
Help wanted advertising has been
extremely sensitive to changes in
general business conditions on this
continent over the last 40 years. One
day's tabulation.- of job offerings in
want ads by 10 dailies in 10 cities
across Canada revealed one stark
fact.:. There are almost no jobs for
rins1611.ed workers. Toronto employ-
ers were looking for 100 men to de-
liver advertising door-to-door,
few openings existed in other cities
for young men. and women to start
as learners to become clerks, man-
agers, •Salesm en. hew—very few—
called 'for laborers and farm hands.
Thousands of unemployed truck
drivers could only look to two job
-openings in Winnipeg.
Another classified ad in Montreal
called for 'elegant young ladies for
style showing", and a herdsman' tand
hogman were wanted in *Vancouver.
Someone in Saint John wanted a
male reporter, and in the whole of
the 10 cities checked, only Winnipeg
wanted a barman, although bar-
maids Were .needed in the east. A
Calgary advertiser sought several
carhops. Secretaries and stenog-
raphers were in demand, but adver-
tisers were not frantic for their
services. Only Saint John called for
one male stenographer (employment
experts say he used to be common,
and often made his way to top man-
agement).

HOLY WEEK SERVICES
Next Monday evening services
will commence .in the - Wingham
United Church in observance of the
final week of Lent. Again on Tues-
day, Wednesday and .Thursday ev-
enings the services will. he held,
culminating in the Good Friday ser-
vices in St, Paul's Anglican Church.
To many busy Christians this
week is the most important period
of the church year, signifying as it
does the entire meaning of the sacri-
fice, death and resurrection of Christ,
It is .perhaps symbolic of the endur-
ing power- of Christian belief that
such services increase in .following,
even -in times which are as hurried as
our own.
This is, indeed, an opportunity
to spend a few hours in quiet contem-
plation of those values which hear
such -an important relationship to

CAN'T. BE AVOIDED
Many signs indicate , that the
days of the little red schoolhouse
are numbered. Like all the old, tra-
ditional things, the one-room school
is being defended to the last ditch
by those who contend that if it was
good for granddad, then its a.
enough for today's young \Mips.
That reasoning- has commendable
sentiment but very little validity.
The truth of the matter is that
the new centrally-located schools
offer a much broader scope of learn-
' inV,' td the 'your nver Veneration—and
you and I would' both be a little
better informed if we'd had a chance
to go to one of them ourselves. The
reasons are fairly obvious.
Such schools are physically su-
perior to the older types; that is
they have better heating and light-
ing facilities ; they are more comfort:-
able and better furnished. Then, too,
these modern schools attract a better
class of teachers. Finally, costs are
much lower as far as operation is
concerned.
The Ontario Department of Ed-
ucation. seems to be quietly steering
rural school board toward the con-
struction of composite schools . . .
and since the Department foots
• about 80 per cent of the bill, the
boards aren't in a very good position
to argue the point.
We can readily understand those
parents rho object to sending their
children eight or ten miles 'to the
central school. The touch of famil-
iarity is lost, They feel that their
youngsters are being buried in a
great heap of strange young human-
ity. Nowever, these same parents
must also recognize that their chil-
dren will have need of A better and
broader form of education than was
required years ago. 'Tomorrow's
world will present new demands
that can be met only by those who
are made ready by the best of edo
cation.
