“Last April, Will Hays told us. the motion picture producers, whom

‘ he represents, became aware of tile

ureat number of drinking scenes in movies. At that time they took their first steps to reduce them solely for plot or motlflcation. Since then, at subsequent meet- ings, the problem he; been dis- cussed, and a petition with forty- flve hundred names was presented through the Radio Guide opposed to unnecessary drinking on the screen.

“Now good intentions are being supplemented by action. We hear

through Hollywood that the Hays.

office has sent an order through to all studios that. there must be no more drinking scenes. Pictures will not. show liquor-drinking or drunks lo create atmosphere or amuse- merit."

That came as a surprise and seem almost too good to be true. Tl e moving picture producers are evdently more concerned about public welfare than some of us be- lieved them to be.

To keep drinking songs off the radio has proven a difficult task. The C. B. C. has a clear regulation dealing with it, but quite frequently someone breaks out with "Pink EIephantH-and nothing is more irrevocable than a spent radio pro- ilfflffl. ~

Canada L1 spending one hundred and thirty million dollhs a year on intoxicating liquors-and make no mistake bbout it, the thinking peo- ple in Canada are worried about this. Not only over the money. but over the secondary effects, the by- nroducts-the accidents, lmss of la- bor and efficiency, ‘re family quarrels which follow. There ls n0! rt problem in Canada that ls not intensified by the drink tlaff‘c.

We cannot afford to wash a cent in Canada, or one ounce of energy. or one hour of time. I am not ad- vocnllng any legislation-we have been too prone to lean on legislation for all our needs. I am telling the women of Canada that in one week they can reduce Canada's rlrlnk bills if they slon buying or serving or using anytlfng in the

ivny of an lntoxlcant. Not only that l

but they can reduce accidents.

The women of Canada can make it smart to serve coffee lnsleal 0f cocktnPs; smart lo be sober: smrwt to be thrifty. They can create a new fashion in hospitality.

Chief Superintendent o! Education

In attempting to explain the term or interpret the significance- of Democracy, one realizes that. the task which may seem simple, is not easy. but rather that it is ex- ceedlngly difficult. And yet, is it not reasonable to expect that every pupil who graduates froln a High School in New Brunswick should be able to give a clear, accurate statement of the meaning and significance of the term Demo- cracy, and have an appreciation of

Britain, and later of the citizens of Canada, over a long period of years, to obtain the freedom, the liberty, the rights andithe privileges that are now enjoyed under British Democracy? In a. Foreword to "Education for citizenship." Oliver F. G_ Stanley writes: "The decay! of democracy abroad had led many ' people to the conclusion that if those democratic institutions which we in this country agree are es- sential for the full development of the individual are to be preserved. systematic training in the dut-les of citizenship L; necessary, and indeed such training has long been practised in one form or an- other. The conditions in which we llve today and the problems that confront us call for a fresh em- phasls lu the work of education on the social and clvlc responsibilities which lnevitaby await the ln- I telligent citizen." ‘ The statement of President Lin- l coln at Gettysburg, "The Govern-, nlent of the people, for the people.‘ and by the people" is a generallyl accepted definition of the demo-_ cratlc society. which. consists of a r number of persons who assemble l and administer the Government in person. British Democracy is dynamic in nature. It has two fundamental principles, two out- standing characteristics which C. c. carrothers terms, "The Supre- , macy of a central authority and the supremacy of Law "

THE CENTRAL AUTHORITY

In Great Britain. the central au- thorlty consists of the King. the House of Lords and the l-louse of Commons. In Canada, it consists of the representative of the King. the Governor-General; the senate; and the House of Commons. The cen- tral authority or Parlalment has the power to enact. and power to repeal laws. Acts are introduced

dlzestlon-ttherefore) Gun-l

into the House of Commons, which body consists of the representatives of the people. Thus. laws that are enacted are in accord with the wishes of the people. If the laws passed are not in accord with the will of the people. the Government

DEMOCRACY By. A. S. McFAltLANB, MA... LLD-v and cannot be imprisoned unless

he has broken one of the laws. In a. Democracy. we are free to think. to search for the truth, to express our thoughts with the pen or with the tongue, and yet we have a duty in this connection in that we must not say anything thatls seditious, treasonous, or blasphemous. We have a right to gather ln public assemb- ly. Provided permission has been obtained from the lawful owner of the building to use lt for a. public gathering, and provided the ur- pulse of the meeting is not aw- u

Another Public Right has to do with Martial Law and the Army. Martial Law is invoked when a ne- cessity arises to maintain order be- cause the Clvll Law has been un- able to function. But Martial Law cannot replace Civil Government. As soon as order has been restored. Martial Law must cease. and Clvll Law again takes control. Citizens‘ rights concerning the Army are that all ranks shall be subject to the same laws and to the ordinary pro- cess of law as civilians. In fact, the soldier is subject to greater ob- ligations than the ordinary citizen. as, in addition to being subject to the ordinary laws sovernlng civil- lens. he is also subject to military

PRIVATE RIGHTS

Acts of Parliament which confer on the individual Private Rights protect him from being Injured or harmed by a fellow-citizen. A citi- zen has a right to his personal safety. and to the society and con- trol of his family. No man may harm another with impunity, and no person may disturb the friendly relations than a man may have with the members of his famlly.. And yet the father of a family has outstand- ing duties and responsibilities rest- mg upon hlm. He cannot abuse or m suse any member of his family. l-Ie must clothe and feed the them- bers of his family, give his chfdren an education. and have them pro- perly cared for in time of sick- ness.

Another ‘Private Right of the

citizen is the right to his reputa- tion and immunity from damage by fraud“ No person may publish or utter anything that. tends to lower u person 1n the estimation of his fellow-citizens, or cause him to be shunned or avoided, or expose him to hatred or ridicule. The individual lS protected. and has a right to be ‘pffll/GCECG from anyone who would lmake a false statement, knowing the statement to be false, that woul induce or cause one to act upon that statement to his detri- ment,

Another Private Right that a citizen enjoys in a Democracy is the right to ownership and posses-

may be removed from power by the free vote of the electors.

In addition to this legislative branch, there is an executive branch, which consists of the Prime Minister or Premier and his Cab- inet. The Prime Minister is the leader of the party having the maj- ority in the House of Commons. and hlg Cabinet are chosen from the representatives of the 960F19- to whom the Premier and his Cab- lnet are directly responsible. If the executive branch does not act: in accordance with the wishes of the members of the House of Com- mons, the Cabinet can. by a vote of want of confidence, be forced to resign. Thus, ln a. Democracy, as the Cabinet is responsbile to the members of the House of Com- mons, and they are responslbe through the representatives of the people to the electors themselves. the people in the final analysis have complete and undisputed con- trol of both the legislative and ex- ecutive branches of the Govern-

ment. LAW

The second fundamental prin- clple of our system, the second chief characteristic mentioned by Mr. Carrotherl. is the supremacy of law. No man can be punished, no man can be made to suffer in body or estate, unless he has brok- en one of our laws, and not until- the fact that he has broken the law has been established in the ordin- ary legal manner, before the ord- inary courts. No man is above the law. Every man. regardless of his wealth or position. is subject ‘to the ordinary laws of the land. ‘and amendable to the jurisdiction of the ordinary courts. _

Moat of us are disposed to think of laws enacted by Parliament l! restrictions superlmlwfled from without by some intangible far away body known as the Parlia- ment; whereas, in "a. Democracy, laws are restrictions which are self-imposed through our repre- sentatives whom we have chosen and elected to seats in Parlament we often lose sight of the fact that every right and privilege ac- corded the cltlzens of a Democracy has its concomitant. -a distinct duty or responsibility.

ruauc RIGHTS

Now, these rights and privileges may be classified under two head- ings Public Rights and Private Rights Public Rights concern the relation of the citizen to the slate. Private Rights deal with the relations of citizens to one another. A Public Right. with which all are familiar. and about. which all have views and are free to express them. is taxation and the expenditure of public money. The collection of taxes and the expenditure of re- venues are matters entirely within the jurisdiction of the House of commons. and hence of the people. wrhus, tax that are imposed upon

them are ctually self-imposed. and

are those which we wish have

imposed. Every right is accom- panied by a dut ; hence 1t. 1s a i duty, if not a pr vllege, of citizens in a Democracy t0 Ply mm-

Another Public Right ls the rlsht .to personal freedom. freedom o! thought, freedom of expression. freedom of public assembly As 1 have already said. every man has “w right; le m; personal freedom}

slon of land and goods, the right to

_cxcrclse all the ordinary privllege.<_all" and ‘"5"!

of a citizen in pursuit of his liveli- hood, ln the use of streets, and public highways, and various public servlces. A man has the right to own an automobile. No one has the right to take that automobile and use it. without the knowledge and permission the o w n e r. The owner of the automobile is protected by the laws of the land. and ownership and protection place upon him duties and responsibili- ties. It is his duty to see, before he drives along the road or street, that the brakes of his car are ln good working order, that both lights are working. It is his duty to obey traffic laws in respect to DOM; speed and position on the roe . THE LONG STRUGGLE

The pupils in our High schools, irl addition to knowln and under- standing the constitu lonal set-up

a Democracy, the rights and

cracy. together with their duties and responsibilities. should have a knowledge of the long struggle of the people in Great Britain to ob- taln these rights and privileges, and of the sacrifices that were made by our forefathers in order that we might enjoy the liberty, and the freedom that we do en- joy ln New Brunswick today.

It is scarcely necessary to say that there was a time when the P901918 01' Great Britain had few, if any, of the privileges that we have today. The road that was travelled to obtain them l; seven hundred years long.

In early times. if a King wished money be extorted it from those “who had it. Those who opposed his

will were placed ln prison without iflfll- Finally. the Great Council of the Barons organized a rebellion to fight for what they considered to be their rights. King John was de- feated at Runnymede and signed the Milena Carts. June i5. 1215. It contained sixty-three articles. They formed a measure of John's delin- quencies. He had been an oppressor and a robber of the church. hence the charter contained provisions for its protection. He had exhorted money from the barons without the consent of the Great Council. He had infringed the liberties of his subjects b casting persons into dungeons an keeping them there without trial. Every class had suf- fered from his tyranny. and every class had its rig ts defined and safeguarded by this great national doiuiiientiia t l th
