These are the words DavA offered to Ahirnelech the priest at Nod when he arrived there for his brusque and brief visit lI Samuel 21:8). Any worthwhile enterprise de- serves to be carried through* with- out undue delay, but when we have to do with matters of spiritual ur- gency they should be treated with haste, Sometimes the Twelve were sur- prised, and annoyed, too, to find someone outside their company doing good works and they would report the matter to Jesus. In our own day it should disturb us greatly to find so frequently that it is 'those outside the religious N camp who give most vigorous and: definite leadership on great issues and speak up when Church lead- en are strangely silent and tin- e& Etain. What is the King's business? ucation, religious as well as formal, hospitals, clinics, medical research may all claim to be part of His programme. Schemes of social amelioration could also be consid- ered as close to His heart.

This is all a matter of haste. Let us pause fora while in what we do and: listen to. the strokes of the tolling clock and the toll of the evening bell. Time flies, The day is far spent.

Not once, but many times We heard educators stress the extreme meeting ground for parents and teachers, not necessarily on the pat- tern of present parent-teachers as- sociation,. where social and fund- raising activities are often included,. but rather a real -brass tacks" type of organization, where the time is de- voted to the welfare of the children and the best possible planning for their future. It is true that present day society is already overloaded with organiza- tions of all kinds, but we can think of a few we would gladly see fall by the wayside to leave room for an ac- tive parent-teacher society. importance of co-operation between parents and teachers--since they-are . the two vital factors in the produc- tion of intelligent and well informed graduates of our schools. Yet under the present system there is very little opportunity indeed tor parents to meet school teachers, much less to sit down and talk over their mutual in- terest, which is the scholar. Surely, if this new plan is to suc-.. ceed, we will need some common do mommoini By Bill Smiley snow just think of the people I could have corrupted in my time, and still could.) Perhaps our readers will forgive us if we return once again to the sub ject of education in this column. Right at the preSent time it is very much to the fore in the minds of all those who are seriously concerned about the future of the young Can- adians who happen to be our sons and daughters. In a recent issue we carried a de- tailed report of an interview with Dr. S. B. Rendall, superintendent of sec- ondary education for the Provin.ce of Ontario. The more' we have thought about the proposed changes in the course of secondary school educa- tion, the more we are impressed by the basic soundness of the plan. Un- questionably our youngsters are go- ing to benefit from, a much more use- ful schooling than has been available previously. The new plan makes in- telligent allowance for the fact that students of widely varying talents 'and interests are passing through • our schools. In fact, as has been stated in this connection before, the schools are being altered to fit the students, rather than the scholars be- ing forced to accommodate their capacities to a hard-and-fast educa- tional system. However, it would appear -that the key to the entire plan as outlined by Dr. Rendall is the accuracy with which the abilities and temperament of the student can be assessed by the time he has reached the end of Grade IX. This assessment represents no small task, for the youngsters who attend the Wingham District School alOne come in from dozens of public schools as they enter Grade IX. Mir- ing their first year in high school there is a preponderance Of .pupils in Grade IX , . . and it certainly would appear that the services of several very competent persons in the "g,uid- ' ance" department will be required to sort out the youngsters with any de- gree of accuracy. The proper advice can only be given to a student if the teacher is - personally concerned with the young= steri and has had a full opportunity to study his abilities as represented by the results of tests, etc. — and more important than anything else, the teacher offering the guidance about future studies should have an 'opportunity -to meet the child's par- ents, to understand their financial -problems,. their, aspirations for the UNITED NATIONS 'REPORT By Marvin Howe, M.P. I decided that in order to give my constituents a clearer picture of the value of this great organiza- tion, a few basic facts as to its or- igin and accomplishments would be helpful. I had considered doing this in my first report but the op- ening days of this session at the United Nations were so tense, due to the death of Mr. Harnmarskjold that I decided to leave this part of my report until later. It is rather interesting to note that the name, United Nations, was devised by the late President Roosevelt, It was first used in the declaration of the Charter on Jan- uary 1st, 1942, when representatives of 26 nations pledged their govern- ment to continue fighting together against the Axis. The man from The Mutual Life Leader of the youth group, head of his house— that's the man from The Mutual Life. He takes . a keen interest in civic affairs and lends a help- ing hand to his neighbours. As a family man he's aware of budgets, babies and bicycles. At work he's an expert—a life insurance counsellor. A valued friend. The Mutual Life ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA The company with the outstanding dividend record Stratford Branch Office: Bank of Montreal Building, Stratford. G. W. Leach, Branch Manager. only lady secretary of state in the , world, made a very fine contribu-, tion to the general debate, I felt that her final statement was out- standing and I quote: "If we are convinced that the only result of modern warfare will be the annihilation of mankind, then we must accept the only de. eisive lesson that is left. This great organization must have the strength to fulfill its supreme aim -the settlement of conflicts be- tween nations in peace and 'for peace. For 'there is one fear that we all share—it is the awesome fear for the fate of the earth and of man upon it," IS one of my former reports I mentioned the fact that the United Nations General Assembly was very similar to our own House of Com- mons. This was brought forcibly to our attention on Wednesday, October 11, when practically every delegation of the General Assembly was thrown into a tizzy. This hap- pened immediately after the state- ment made by Mr. Louw, foreign minister of the Republic of South Africa. National and international feel- ings in regard to South Africa and its stand on apartheid are well known. In his statement, Mr. Louw attempted to substantiate that stand and in so doing incur- red the animosity of many other African states. Mr. Cooper, external affairs min- ister of Liberia, arose on a point of order, walked to the rostrum. and made a motion 'that the whole speech of the representative of South Africa be expunged from the official records, There 'was much whispering and running hither and thither and gathering advisors to- gether by practically every delega- tion present. This .motion raised very serious considerations not in relation to South Africa, but in relation to the position of the other members of the United Nations. This would lay down the precedent that a state- ment by a sovereign government in the Organization could he expung- ed merely because ,other members of the Organization are opposed to it. This was a fundamental de- cision on the whole working of the United NatiOhs, not related on- ly to South Africa. After much consideration, the minister from Liberia changed his motion to one of censure. An ob- server can see and feel the under- currents of intrigue 'that flow back- ward 'and forward within this Un- ited Nations. Such Undercurrents 'are an indication of the difficult days ahead for this important world-wide Organization. FOR BETTER CONTROL Our town, as the mayor pointed out in his letter to the public last week, has ample room to be proud of the progress that has been made dur- ing the past ten years. Its financial position is good, its physical assets, such as streets, parks, etc., are being developed and improved rapidly. It, has excellent schools and hospital. We do believe, however, that the town fathers would do well to con- sider those prerequisites to modern living which we still lack—and one ,of the most important is the instal- lation. of a traffic signal on the main street. At the present time the traffic moves in an unending stream up and clown Josephine, so that access from. the cross streets is often a hazardous affair. The situation is annoying to those who drive cars, but it is starkly dan- gerous for pedestrians, particularly old people and children, who have to cross the main street during the rush hours. Despite the town council's best efforts it is not always possible to have crossing guards on duty when the youngsters are on the way to and from school. A traffic light at the five corners, or even at the Victoria Street corner would serve to delay the north and south traffic so that there would be breaks in its flow-to afford openings for motorists and pedestrians who have to cross - the main -street. It is true that the installation of a traffic light is a costly venture now, but many in this community feel that it is a necessary expenditure and one which is long overdue.

She pointed out that working wo- men are not responsibile for the unemployment situation in view of the fact that the jobs women hold are not jobs that most men are trained to fill. On Sunday morning a. devotional service was held in the Sheraton Room of the hotel with Rev. Ben S, Morwood of Hamilton in charge. At the noon. luncheon the Hon.

That day in the United Nations is to be mark- ed by a special CBC-TV broadcast by Sir Ernest MacMillan and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Since that day in October, 16 years ago, the United Nations can look back on a record of substan- tial achievement in a number of cases such as, for instance, on Pal-; estine, Indonesia, Kashmir, the Balkans, Korea and the Suez, The procedures of conciliation and mediation employed by the United Nations have averted dangerous aggravation of armed conflicts and have led to settlements by way bf negotiations between the parties concerned. 'With - respect to `other problems such as, for instance, the Congo, the United Nations is still deploy- ing unceasing efforts to bring about international pacification and the prevention of outside interfer- ence. Hand in hand with this, the Un- ited Nations has set up multilateral technical assistance programs to suppliment the funds of less-de- veloped countries for economic and social progress. Among the other activities of the United Nations and its specialized agencies and organs, mention must be made of the International Atom- ic Energy Agency, whose aim is to accelerate and aid the use of at- omic energy for peaceful purposes, thd United Nations High Commis- sioner for Refugees, the United Nations Economic Commissions fo Europe, Asia and the Far East, Latin America and Africa, which 0o-operate in solving economic dif- ficulties common to the respective regions, the United Nations Child- ren's Fund, the United Nations Re- lief and Works Agency for Pales- tine Refugees, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, and the recently set up In- ternational Development Associa- tion Canada's 'share of the overall budget in the United Nations is approximately 3.1 per cent; in dol- lars approximately $3,622,000.

But, and this was the most un- kindest cut of all, as Antony said of Brutus' rip into Caesar's innards, the editor agreed with the com- plainer. He suggested that Smiley did go beyond the bounds of good taste sometimes, Then, in a crafty commercial, he urged that the readers of his paper continue read- ing the column to see whether Smiley would "clean it up". 0 - 0 - 0 Well, we might as well get some- thing settled right off the bat. 'Smiley has no intention of chang- ing the style or content of his col- umn for one reader of the Beams- ville Express, Smiley is too old and weather-beaten to be terrified by such threats. Smiley had a few letters of the same kind, when he was a weekly editor, and his re- sponse, printed and signed, was usually something like this: "Go ahead and cancel your subscrip- tion. You'll miss the paper a lot more than the paper will miss you." If that isn't quite clear, let's deal with the charges, one At a time. Is this column vulgar? Certainly, on occasions. My wife has pointed this out a number of times, in some 'distress. My response is invariab- ly vulgar, suck as "Ah, nuts! That's exactly what I meant to say. Why pussyfoot around it?" But I would like to point out that vulgarities in 'this column are in- tentional, not accidental, that they are inserted to make a point, not to give anyone a cheap thrill. The dictionary states that "vulgar" means: "common; general; vernac- ular; plebeian; unrefined; coarse; mean." When I am vulgar, I am one of those things, although I have never been mean with intent, ' 0 ,- 0 , • I wish the irate reader had called me a "vulgarian." That means "a rich person with vulgar ideas." I have the ideas, but don't, have the green stuff to go with them. And if that's a vulgar 'thought, I'm sorry, but I just can't help it. The second charge was more series, that of 'profanity. Is there profanity in this column? Well, hell, yes, once in a while, when I 'can't avoid it. But normally, I'd never think of swearing in print. On certain occasions, however, for a special purpose, to create emphasis, or underline a remark, I'll admit a modest "damn" or a feeble "hell", If this appears in Your local paper, don't blame poor old Smiley for it, Blame your edi- tor. That's what he's there for-- to protect your morals. It's tip to hint to change the "hells" to "hecks", the "damns" to "darns". And if you think the language in this column is bad, you should he around When I'm playing golf, or looking for the screwdriver" or trying to get the top off a ,Or of pickles. , There was one remark in the complaining subscriber's letter to which I object. It was this: "Vul- garity such as his doesn't seem to appear in print anywhere else, nor profanity either." This may be true if you never read anything but the Family Herald or the La- dies Horne Journal. But don't try to tell the that your metropolitan dailies and your popular 'maga- zines Aren't loaded With vulgarity.
