Bare Knees Oiit For Army Men

OTTAWA, Jan. 1 - (CP) - No more bare knees for Canadian soldiers.

Army headquarters said that a year-old discussion on the merits of shorts for the troops in sum- mer has ended with a decision to withdraw any existing authority for their wear.

Headquarters decided the shorts caused more trouble than they were worth. They left soldiers wide open to poison ivy; they in- vited sunburn and they provided little protection against mosquito, and other insect bites.

New, loose-fitting. lightweight hush clothing now: is being issued for summer wear. It has long trousers and is ideal for training and o eratlonal wear in summer.

Exlslng stacks of shorts will not be, wasted. They are being recalled and will be re-issued to all ranks on a repayment bssis- hut forsporls and recreational weur only.

Nursery Rhymes Aid Vocabulary Of Young Child

TORONTO. Jan. 1 -(OP) Even very young chidren. who cannot understand the words read

to them, are sensitive to the sounds and rhythm of nursery rhymes, says Mrs. U. Jones of

Oshawa.

In an interview here while at- lending a convention as convenor of the children's reading commit- tee of the Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations, Mrs. Jones said parents should read to their children regularly and tell t.hem.stories.

"These children will have wider vocabularies and more active im- aginalions than children who have not had these ndvantages.” she says.

Family reading wil-l give a child the feeling of security he needs. "Think back to the pleasures you had as 3 child and you will not want to deprive your children of the story hour.”

The taste for good books should be developed as soon as the child gets his hands on his first picture book. If a child has access to good books he will develop a taste for them. Mrs. Jones says.

Good taste can also be develop- ed by choosing the best in stories to read to children.

Slresses Ideals In Public life

The urgent need for religious standards in home and everyday life to be made effective once more was stressed by Right Rev. Monslgncur R. V. MacKenzie. D. D., rector of St. Dunstan's Unl- verslty, in an address to the R01- ary Club at The Charlottetown on Monday.

Monsigneur Macl-(enzie. as guest speaker. was taking the place of llls Excellency James Boyle. Bishop of Charlottetown, who was unable to be present to deliver his annual message to the Rotarlans.

Taking as his subject, "Ideals in Public Life." the speaker said his talk would deal with it from n wo;ld wide viewpoint. He quoted the remark of George Washington, first President of the United States, who once told his listen- ers: "Reason and experience forced us to expect that national moraliiy cannot prevail in exclus- ion of rcliglous principles." Monsigneur Macxenzie added that integrity in public life flows from three conditions. They are the general level of morality in a country, the level of business ethics generally, and a. tradition of public service which sets a stand- ard of right doing.

In discussing the difference be- tween free enterprise and ihe reglmentatlon practised in total- itarian states the speaker stated the responsibility engendered by the former is great and it is un- fortunate that a few people can cause ordinary individuals to think that all men are alike, lie mentioned that the past 150 years had developed a high standard of public life in Great Britain. This has built up a standard of honor which all must now live up to.
