Surely the powers-that-bc at Ottawa will avail themselves of the offer of a supplemen- tary car ferry for Bordcn-Tbrmetitine route.

Mr. Ligottri Lacottibe (Cdu., Laval-Tho Mottntains) told tltc Cotmuotis that the short- age of essential metals which was felt in Canada during the war was caused "by a stnall group of profitcers who turned traitors to their coun- try..." Speaking during debate on the Muni- tions Department estimates, .\'lr. Lacotnbe said that metal was shipped to lay n \>m Canada up to a fcw weeks before I’carl llarbor. “In a country such as ours, with ltugc natural re- sources, rationing is a nonsensity,” he said. “That was provcn recently when millions of pounds of meat went to waste in a storage plant.

Lorin Maazel, the 14-year-old orchestral cott- ductor who is already a veteran of six years’ standing, took an interview with The Gazette completely in his stride the other day. He re- ports that he has now memorized about 5o or- clicstral works. “You sec," he added ingcnuotis- ly by way of exploitation, "the demand now is that you must conduct front tnemory.” llis ambition at the present time is to conduct Brahms and lcliaikovsky, which he has not ventured to do yet. llc is tiriniarily interested in Brahms Fourth Synipltoity, although the reason for that interest over the other three was not apparent in the course of a hasty interview. Concerning Shostakoviclt, he ltas studied the Fifth Sym- phony which, he considers, is a. great deal more interesting than th¢ popular First.

"Instead of listening to lectures and attend- ing banquets, we should be working ‘across the track", where thousands 0f children and parents are yearning for love, need encouragement, un- derstanding, help and someone to disentagle their dreary lives,” h1g1‘. Flanagan, founder and director of the Boys’ Town, NClL, told an audi- cucc which ovcrflowed one of Montreal hotel's spacious main dining room. “I-Iow can you ex- pect children to grow up and observe the Ten Commandments when they don't recognize l God? How can you expect them to respect their fellow tnen when they have no knowledge of a Supreme Being?" the noted atuliority on youth problems asked, "'l‘ltcrc is no royal road to solu- tion of this problem without praying." After religion has been established as the foundation stone, efforts towards solution of the juvenile zlcliuqticucy problem should be directed on homes, Mgr. Flanagan advised, pointing out that many “bad parents" are simply ignorant and confused with problems that can be solved. Prohlent parents are just like lillle childrctt -— they need a. little optimism," the audience was

told. "If tho whole world embraced the gospel of love and co-tipertttion, there would be no de- linquency." "
