Should Be Safeguarded

Noted in the Speech from the Throne last week was the fact that during the past year, three federal- provincial conferences were held. Consideration was: given to the rela- tions between the previnces and the federal government in fiscal matters, fiensions, and the repatriation of the

nstitution. The government of mee Edward Island has “‘tentative- agreed” to the constitutional endments which will return the ritish North America Act to Canada.

ogist who is a full-term member of

the honor farm staff. There are no preconceived restric-

as to age or nature of offense. The committee bases its judgments on the applicant's record and appearance be- fore the committee. Those who ex- habit a will and capacity to benefit from the opportunities of the freer society at the farm’ have the best chance of selection. About half who apply are approved for transfer. Before each prisoner is released from the farm, he usually has a job awaiting him. and may take away with him training and experience. One inmate put his artistic talents to work designing and making stain- ed-glass windows in the honor farm chapel, in which services of a variety of denominations are regularly held. The chapel, all of its furniture and

| fittings built by residents, opens off

|

the farm library.

Another wing houses a recreation room and workroom with power tools, open to the men when off-shift. There is freedom of movement every- where, and no more than two or three attendants at a time are on hand to oversee the activities of some 65 in- mates.

We shall be surprised if there are not many more of these honor farms across the continent in the years to come.

Brotherhood Week

This week is being observed acn Canada for the purpose of focusihg. attention on a problem={fiat. is ‘more acute in some of the large provinces than it is here. Nevertheless, we aré

“all concerned in {ts impli¢attons: and" we can all gain something by shar- ing in its spirit. It is known as Brotherhood Week, and its promotion is sponsored by the Canadian Coun- cil of Christians and Jews.

The work of the Council goes on all the year. The “week” is only its spotlight period, an interval preced- ing and in which the leaders in the unendihg:work for greater under- standing between all Canadians seek to publicize the Council’s principles.

First observed in 1949, Brother- hood Week emphasizes the contri- butions each individual can make in destroying racial and religious prej- udice. _As’ long as such prejudice exists, there will be men, women and children falling victims to intoler- ance, hatred and fear. a

A committee of the Comons is wrestling with the task of framing a law to prevent dissemination through the mails of hate literature without infringing on civil liberties and the right of free speech. The task is a formidable one and, un-

+fortunately, even if all the legal ob-

stacles are- surmounted not much will have been accomplished.

The tragic fact is that prejudice can be found, sometimes well hidden, in the hearts and minds of ordinary men and women. It can be removed only by personal soul-searching lead- ing to acceptance and practice of the Golden Rule—to treat others as we would have them treat us.

If this week’s observance of: the brotherhood spirit helps us to act on this principle, it will have achiev- ed a worthwhile purpose indeed.
