._ “We must get away from the

‘ idea that education is a social

service ‘or automatic like a

monthly. pension cheque,’’ Dr.

Frank MacKinnon told the Char-

. fottetowa Lions Club last even-

ing. “It has to start inside and

ottside of the home as well—as

in the classroom. The school is

mot the only agency for educa-

. tion, it can’t do it all and it

% would be* unwise if it did—too ' many eggs in one basket.”

scale.

Overlooking. the often used procedure of dealing with the glories of education and its re- sultant benefits, the guest speak- er emphasized the importance and significance of education in the home and social level, and the limitations of the school, teachers, etc. He pointed out the many aspects ‘‘we are inclined to forget” such as proper eat- ing, sleeping and reading habits

in a child’s education. These put him in a -receptive frame of mind to take full advantage of

the facilities a school has to- offer during “‘the one-eighth of ithe child's time which is spent in* school. 95 per cent of the work is up to the student, evéa with the best accommodations and teachers,” the speaker said.

Touching on the financial side of education, Dr. MacKinnon stated “‘we can afford education: Jn 1957 Camadians spent 1.7 bil- lion dollars on defence, 1.9 bil- lion on automobiles, 1.3 billion on tobacco and liquor, but only I billion dollars on veducation. Things we want and think valu- able we have to pay for.”

Salt Seen Best For Icy Highways

HALIFAX — (CP) — High- ways Minister G. I. Smith told the Nova Scotia Legislature Wed- nesday that there is “no evi- dence whatever’ to support claims that salt used 6n, high- ways. to combat ice has an ad- verse affect on highway pave- ment or automobiles.

Mr. Smith defended the use of. salt as ‘“‘the type of ice con-

| trol best. suited for use in Nove | Scotia.” He said “its use should

be extended as rapidly as finan- ces will permit.”

He said “there is no satisfac- tory evidence that the use of salt causes more corrosion’’ on motor vehicles “than would be caused by any other method of ice control.

Because of salt, he. said, ‘‘we are able to provide bare pave- ment throughout & great portion of the winter on_ nearly miles of road. = The Highways Department buys salt from Malagash Salt Company Limited of .Malagash and Pugwash, N. S.;

Senator Sees Life Too Easy

the former Liberal government that introduced family allowances | in Canada said Wednesday he | has grave doubts that they ‘‘have | improved the social structure e this country.”

Manitoba Senator Thomas A.| Crerar told the Upper House that after spending $3,500,000,000 on allowances ‘‘we find today that juvenile ‘delinquency in this coun- try is at a higher level than it has ever feen.”

Senator Crerar was minister of | mines in the cabinet of the late | W. L. Mackenaie King when fam- ily allowances were introduced at the 1944-46 session. He went to the Senate before the June, 1945, general election.

“IT sometimes think I have lingered on the sta Senator Crerar s4id. ‘But I can- not grow enthusiastic over these ardent desires by sobsisters, do-' gooders and uplifters fo benefit | humanity in all its aspects.

“T distrust them. HK is not a good or a wise thing to mak conditions too easy for the young men and women starting out in| life. There are such things as discipline, which we had im the early years, which are-of incal- culable benefit to people in their later years.”
