The department itself was in a position to place in homes within the Province Nova Sootfa babies available and suitable for adopt- ion. “Although pcnalties are provided for violations of the new section." Mr. Currie sold, “a great part of its efficacy lies in the effect it is expected to have upon the grant- ing of passports."

"It is anticipated that the pass- port authorities will refuse to issue passports for children for whom such certificates have not been ob- mined.“ Without a pesqoort visas could not be obtained.

The section did not apply to normal travelling of children. thereby “narrowing lha application of the section to the field in which the undesirable practice. . has oc- curred."

Another bill given second read- ing today will allow the Province to take action against persons who have moved to other Provinces while under court orders to pay maintenance to dependents.

Public School Bill

Promoting the bill Public Schools. the Premier ex- plained that there were some schools with no taxable districts and some with inadequate school accomofition. 1t is proposed to unite a number of these districts under one Board of Trustees. el- pociaily in rapidly growing dist- ricts such as the Royalties. ' The bill also provides for pay- ment of special teachers in arts. crafts. including music, drawing and wood-work. The government cannot pay such special teachers at present. The bill was amended to increase the city of Cherlottewwnb maxi- mum annual school expenditures to the sr-n of $150,000. on the motion of D.L. Mathioscn. (5th Queens).

Germans llear World To End Si. Patrick's Day

By Richard 0‘Regan

FRANKFURT. Germany. March l6 _ (AP) - Irlshmen, watch your step.

Tomorrow's St. Patrick's Day but, for the love of Mike. there are Germans who predict you will never live to see it through.

‘Tis the end of the world they say that la coming.

Who it is that's at the beck of all this. who it is that would be spoiling the fun, nobody in Germany seems. to know.

But somebody started a rumor that the world will end and thousands of Germans are excited.

"Ach. there is no truth to it." said a German astronomeg‘. "It IS the astrologers who started it. They make a lot of people worried.

"Everybody calls me today and says it is true or it is not true. is it, that the world will end‘) Even the politicians call me."

"Somebody predicted the end of the world, but most of us believe only there may be serious happen- ings," an astrologer said. "The Sun and Mars are conjunction. Always that is o. dangerous time.

"Most astrologers believe there will be storms, natural catastrophes, explosions or deaths of prominent persons."

And what about Ireland and the Irish on March 1'1?

"If the world doesn't end, they probably will be all right," the astrologer said. -
