The Basis of Order At umes when a Striking example of’ failure of the pubuc to co-operate fully with the police occurs in this coun- try, some Canadians are apt to turn their thoughts wistfully to the method of law enforcement in the “old land. Speaking on tnis subject recently, C. J. Hamson, Profes- sor o: Comparative Law at Cambridge University, threw a Revealing light on this whole matter. dhe Proressor pointed out that what most strikes the visi- tor On arrival in bngiand is the eight of the solitary unarmed policeman in the streets. Eisewhere the police tend to go mpOut in couples visibly armed, expecting to be required to impose by force conformity upon a recalcitrant and c= tive population and all too willing to use their weapons, They know themselves to be a class apart, the subject almost in- evitably of hostile suspicion to ee of Cee lan a land the police may very except ly be armed for a par- ticular job, but in general they believe themselves—and jus- tifiably—to be able to rely upon the support of the public in the execution of their normal dutios, They have of course, the power of the state behind them; but they are regarded and, what is more important, they re- gard themselves, as the principle of an order which is desired and promoted by the public as e whole and not as the instru- ment by which is imposed upom that public a crippling regi- mentation. This is an ideal any country and people should strive to achieve, Soviet Schools 3 Post Office Dopt, Ottawa. Gass Mall, $2.50 had the honour of writing a Coronation song for the sol- the crowning of a monarch. Nor have their songs been recorded by a children’s choir and sent all the way to Buckingham Palace for the sovereign’s approval. Jane Johnson, well-known North Vancouver writer, however, can boast of both, if she ever boasted. But Jane doesn’t, for she believes in “deeds not words.” When her Coronation song, “Fair Queen of this Vast Dominion,” for which she }wrote both words and music, was published, Jane, in char- acteristically generous fas- hion, donated half the pro- ceeds to the Kiasmen’s Polio | Fund.

He never had any of his songs written. Perhaps that was what determined me to get mine into print.” Now a member of the White |Rock Choral Group, Jane for- !merly belonged to the Phil- harmonic Choir in Toronto and until recently was a mem- ‘ber of the Vancouver Inter- national Cboir. She had always composed “bits of music” as she called them, but the Cor- ‘ onation Song was the first she fever had published. Several of her many poems, Che COMMON THE HAPPY CLUB is a name not too many people are familiar with but in my opin- like to pass on to my readers a bit of information about this truly “happy” group. It has to do with cerebral palsy — that dreadful crippler of children. For several years Vancou- ver has had a group of young adult cerebral palsy victims known as the Happy Club, backed by the South Vancou- ver Lions Club. This group has a wonderful record in as- Sisting its own members to- ward happier living—in one case a young man trained as a shoemaker and established in his own shop with the aid jof Happy Club funds, in an- other a girl sent to UBC who despite physical handicap that necessitated attending classes in a wheel chair, has been a Splendid and successful stud- ent, has won her B.A. and is attending the UBC College of Education, One of the Happy Club “graduates” has been steadily employed by a large city firm for five years, and is now about to make a holiday trip to New Zealand. Still another has been working on tugboats for two years, and is getting married. The Club has broadened its field of activities with the stat- ed objective of making more young palsied adults produc- tive citizens, iy the hope | ion it ought to be, and I'd ares rane oat The variety of causes however means that there never will be any single miracle drug or Preventative that will provide the complete answer to cere- bral palsy. Not so long ago parents hid palsied children away afraid that their affliction might be seen as 4 reflection upon them- selves. Broader public know- ledge has solved that situation, but the public and parents still don’t know enough about it, more particusrly what can be done for youngsters who are handicapped by it. Today as knowledge dis- Places ignorance the suffering and frustration of cerebral palsy is being steadily reduc- ed by better care, treatment and training. The hope for a better tomorrow rests on the advance of science and on the increasing support and under- standing of the community for those who are the victims of this subtle crippler.
