WEDNESDAY, APRIL l9, 1933. THE “roimtr COURT One of the measures adopted at the last session of the Provincial Immature was an Act to provide _i’or the establishment of a~Family Court for the purpose of dealing with juvenile delinquents and ne- glected or dependent children, the purpose twin: in remove these cases as much as possblc from the atmos- phere of the police court, and to exert moral rather than legal pree- surc on (.'\‘llll(|lli‘lli.$. The Act was niirutiuccil a: the request of the Children's Aid Society and provides for the appointment by the Lieuten- ant Govcmor in Council of one or more competent persons (not neces- sarily laivyers) to act, without re- muneration, in a judicial capacity. Juvenile delinquency is defined uudcr the Act as applying to "any child who violates any provision of any statute of this Province, or of b“? bY-lbw 0r ordinance of any; municipality within the Province, or who is guilty of any sexual im- morality cr any similar form of vice, or who is liable by reason of any other act to be committed to any industrial school or juvenile m. formatory under the provisions of any Statute of this Province." Sec. 9, subsection (2), sums up the pur- pose of the Act by providing that "where a child is adjudged to have committed a delinquency he shall b! dPBIt With. not. as an offender, but as one in a condition of delin- qucncy and therefore requiring help and guidance and proper supewis. but" ‘i110 Act is to come intoforce by Ordcr-in-Cotmcll and pfqclamg- Lon in the ‘Royal Gnzgttfi T“ "PPM Wars in this Province, r ".I'(‘»\'llf‘l‘(‘. the problem of juven- ‘~'i'if‘ll(‘_‘-‘ has increased in dlL and thc ncw method of ap- . h which 'hr- Family Court Act liuilitiucws i: l)~";ll'".‘f‘d by many m oilrr the has: rolution.

FLOWERS IN_FLANDERS Twenty-eight packets of seeds of wild flowers have been sent to the Imperial War Graves commission ' by the Divisions of Botany of the Canadian Government Experimen- tal Farms for planting on the graves of those who passed on dur- Lng the period 1914-18. The Vilar’ Graves commission maintains lts| own nurseries in France and 1301-‘ gium for raising flowers for the cemeteries under its care and in th. spring, summer, and autumn months the cemeteries so attrac- tively ma out are aglow with bloom. The Division of Botany 4,802 packets of seeds from 1.557 species of plants, etc, 159 footed plants and i0 cuttings to 110 botanic gar- dens or other botanical institu- tions in different parts of the world. In return, 21,171 packets of seeds and 2i cuttings have been received by the Canadian Govern- ment Experimental Farms from other Countries. The work in connection with the War Graves Commission is one which is of profound interest to thousands of Canadian families. It is gratifying to know that it is being carried on with such con- scientious care and attention. BRITISH FILMS As the result of the common work of British producers and organizers and in thc Dominion there was an increase last year of about 30 per cent. in the number of films sub- mitted by United Kingdom produc- ers to the Ontario Board of Mo- tion Picture Censors. Even so, notes the annual report of the Board, the total was only a tiny fraction of the gross figure of over 2.000 submitted from all sources, and there is pres- sing need for further cooperation if the demand in Canada for British and Empire subjects is to be satis- fied. At present, as the report says, Canada appears to be the only Do- minion virtually outside the Empire so far as the distribution of films is concerned. "That is a state of af- fairs." comments thc London Times, “which clearly ought to be mended. The demand for films of British origin, stimulated by the growth of Empire sentiment at the time of the Ottawa Conference, is steadily grow- ing. and neglect to meet it would be a deplorable waste of a great Imper- ial opportunity." EnTFoFmL zvorss Two crates containing nineteen live ptarmigan have been shipped from Manitoba to Halifax. where, according to the Canadian Nation- al Railways magazine. it will be determined if these beautiful game birds can be successfully raised in the Maritime Provinces. The ptar- migan is a shy bird and such is its modesty that it changes the color of its plumage to blend with its Chamber of Commerce expresses "disappointment; and concern" be- cause more drastic reduction of expenditures has ‘not been made by the Federal Government.

Upon the response which it receives in bath countries and 0n the Con- tinent will depend, to no small degree, the measure of success which may be expected from the meeting. There's a genuine human tout-h in our new diplomacy. The Dem- ocratic President of the United states invites Ramsay MacDonald. Brita.n‘s Prune Minister, to cat and sleep at the White House while in Washington, and adds: "Bring any of your family you may de- sire." In thc past hundreds of “parlcy.s" have been held m. the Executive Niansion, lunchcons and dinners have never been neglected. But the sort of personal hospitality that Britons understand has never prevailed. As President Roosevelt declares, every Government employee or beneficiary, and all citizens of the Republic, are called upon to con- tribute to the maintenance of the nation's credit and the restoration 0f national prosperity. President Roosevelt has been strengthened, not weakened by his bold economy program. The savings he has ef- fected thus far aggregate about $850,000,000. His pledge to balance the Federal Budget is to bc re- deemed, apparently, unless Con- gress enacts legislation which in- volvcs stiuaudrring with one hand what the other hand seeks to save. If Europe can be kept right- side-up. and the affairs of the western nations ironed out, the Fur Eastern question will scttic itself.

Just what the season has to do with taking strong purgativcs and also blooa building medicines may be hard w under- stand. Yet there ls no question but that a great many youngsters and adults also, do seem to need e. Spring tonic. Some years ago I wrote e maga- zine article called "Getting Rid of thc Winter Surplus", the idea being that as most of us cat more food and do less work outdoors we take on a few pounds of extra. weight. As a matter of fact this extra three to five pounds in one of the average weight; is really an asset as it helps retain the heat in the body, gives an increased resistance to colds and other ailments, and is wofih some- thing in preventing winter ailments which might reduce our strength too much. When the warm weather comes this little extra. weight soon disap- pears and does not accumulate again until the arrival of the cold weather. However a large number of indi- viduals eat much too heartily in the cool weather, do very little work, and by Spring are very much in need of something to rid their systems of the effects of too much food, and often very rich food. Too much food with little exer- cise means too many waste products in the body, and it- is waste pro- ducts (whether from hard work or too much food) that tires you. These wastes are absorbed into the blood and it is this blood (contain- ing too much waste) that supplies every ccil in the body. In other words your blood is you. No wonder then that in the Spring after months of heavy eat- ing there is this depressed, tired out; feeling, often called "blue funk." Nature has done her bcst, but by the time the warmer weather ar- rives, the system may be “clogged" just like a furnace. It is therefore good sense to do two things. First, take seine pitrgative such as Epsom or Rochelle salts, for a few days. Second, use some good tonic or blood builder. Iiowever, a better plan is to not. overeat during the cold weather, get. ‘outdoors as much as possible and let the oxygen burn up the wastes instead of letting them accumulate in the body. Archdeacon Scott tetiring As Rector (Montreal Gazette) The resignation of the Venerable Archdeacon F. G. Scott as rector of St. Matthew's Church, Quebec, af- ter thirty-seven years’ active work in the parish is a matter of more than loenl interest, for the name and fame of "tho beloved war-time padre" are known throughout the Dominion and beyond. Montreal has a very high regard for her tal- 1 cntcd son. He was born and receiv- j cd his early education in this city, iaftcrwards graduating from Bish- ‘op‘s College, Lennoxvllle.

In a. message that was received with joy in every part of the world, he proclaimed a. forthcoming event that will take its place among the great world events of modern tim- es. Recalling that the year 1933 will bring the nineteen hundredth anniversary of the death M the Redeemer of the world, he pro- claimed an extraordinary Jubilee Year to begin on Passion Sunday, April 2nd, and invited all his child- ren to come to Rome to celebrate with h'm that glorious anniversary and share in the spiritual gifts whlchhe will e0 lavishly bestow upcn them. Millions will come and will thank God that they are able to do so, while other millions, their eyes focused on Rome, will follow what transpires from afar off and in their hearts will long to be there. since it will be my privilege to be in Home during those days, I thought it would be a useful thing to contribute to your valuable pap- er two or t-hrceshort articles 0n the significance of the year of jubilee proclaimed by the Holy Father and on its most important ceremonies which I shall explain and attempt to describe. I feel that they will be of v'tal interest to the large number or yzur read- ers who ere his spiritual children and of general interest‘ to a‘l vino seek an intelligent grasp of the significance of great world events. These years which in the begin- ning were known exclusively as Jubilee Years, came in the course of time to .be known also as Holy Years, on account of the great spiritual favors that could be gain- cd at those times, and both names are now oflcially applied to them. While it is certain that their or- lgln is to be found in the jubilee celebrations of the Jewish lxaopls, it. is on the other hand impossble to trace any continuity of observ- ance of them from the beginning of thc christian ere. until the first year of the fourteenth century, though_ the proclamation of the jubilee in i300 appeals vaguely to precedents of past ages. In Lev. XXV, 10, we read "Thou shalt sanctity the fiftieth year and snail pmelaim remlsion to all the inhabitants of thy land for it is the year of jubilee." Every seventh year like every seventh day was set as'de for" special observance, but the year fdlowing seven cycles of seven years was to be kept as a Sabbatical year of special solem- nlty. For the Jewish people it was pro-eminently a. time of joy, a year of remission or universal ser- vitudcs: every household recovered its lcst members; Hebrew slaves were set free and debts were re- mitted. It is this same conception wholly spiritualized wh'ch forms the fundamental ldra of the Christian jtbllee- Y The first definite record we have of the observance of a. year of jubilee in the christian era is the one proclaimed by Bonaface VIII on February 22nd, 1300, though as we have safd. vague reference is made in the proclamation to prev- ious smilrr celebralfons in past ages. From this time to the pres- ent day a. continuity of observance can easily be traced. The time for the observance var- ied duririg the century and a half following the jubilee or Honaface VIII. He ordained that it should be celebrated every hundred years. This was later changed to every fifty years so that most people could enjoy at least one in their lifetime. A later ordinance fixed the time at thirty three years, similar to the years of Our Lord's life on earth, and finally, Paul 2nd definitely fixed the time of ordin- ary jubilece to be each twenty- fifth year of each century and it has remained the same ever since. The jubilee of 1450 is specially remembered in l-rstory or account of the terrible accident which oc- curred when hundreds of pilgrims were trampled to death or fell in- to the Tiber during a panic on the bridge of Caste] Bent‘ Angelo. One good effect which resulted from this unfortunate occurrence was a great improvement in transporta- tion facilities, and the visitor w Rome today enjoys all the oom- forts and conveniences of a mod- em big c’ty. There was only one jubilee year prozlalmed during the nineteenth WHEN I WOULD IMAGE When I would image her features, Comes up a shrouded head: I touch the outlines, shrinking; She seems of thewandering dead. But when love asks for nothing, And lies on his bed of snow, The face slips under my eyelids, All in its living glow, Like a dark cathedral city, Whose spires. and domes, and toms-s Quiver in violent lightings, My soul basks on for hours. —George Meredith. of 1800, 1860 and i875 were omitted on account of political disturbanc- es. With these exceptions they have been uniformly maintained from i460 till the present dey and the Holy Year of i935 is still fresh in the memory of ell. These jubllees are clased as "or- dinary" and "extraordinary". An ordinary one is that which occurs each quarter of s. century and is celebrated for a whole year in Rome and then extends to the whole world, usually for a shorter time, though the jubilee of 1925 was extended to the world for a whde year. An extraordinary one is that which the Holy Father con- cedes at his own discretion. It us- ually marks some important event in his pontiflcate, or commemor- ates some‘ solemn anniversary and is also the name applied to the jubilee following the Holy Year in Homer-ft is customary for these jubilees to be celebrated both in Rome and throughout the world, excepting the one immediately fol- lowing the ordinary one, which is not celebrated in Rome though all who prcfited by the one in Rome may do so again outside the city. The jubilee, therefore, of i925 was an ordinary one. while that of 1926 was an extraordinary one as was also the one of 1929, which was conceded to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the ordin- ation to, the priesthood of Pope Pius XI. The present one is ex- traordinary from two points of view: it ls not the one of thc. twenty fifth year but is granted in commemoration of the nineteen hundredth anniversary of the death of the Redeemer; nor does it follcw the customs of extraord- inary jublees for its indulgences can be gained only by a plgrimuge to Rome. It might as: benotcd that the nature and extent of the privileges of a jubilee depend entirely upon tltc provisions outlined in each particular Bull of proclamation. though the terms ordinary and ex- traordlnary are now incorporated into the general discipline of the Church- Though this extraordinary jub- ilee is to be celebrated only in Rome, nevertheless pr0vls‘on is made as usual for many of those for whom a ‘voyage to Rome would be impossible or very difficult. A- mong those specially provided for are the Eek and infirm, religious sisters, those earning thefi- daily bread by manual labor which they cannot leave, those over seventy yeufi of age. and many others. It is not within the scope of this short article nor is it my inteminn to give a. doctrinal cxpanation of the favors of a Jubilee. 1t is understood, of course, that when lndllllenfifis are spoken of they have no reference whatever to an "lpso facto" remission of thc guilt 0f 5m UlJon the performance of certain works.

The indulgenccs rc- fer to thc remission of the tem- pcral punishment due to sin and lire-suppose the remission of the sin itself at least before the com- pletion of the works prescribed. The special faculties granted to eonfessors for thc remissions of sins and censures of those truly repentant and the indulgenoes granted for the performance of certan specified works are the essential privileges of’ a jubilee. While the special anniversary commemorated is the redemption of the human race, other holy events wh'ch transpired in the same year, both before and after the death of Christ, are also rc- ca'led. The institution of the Bles- sed micharlst and of the priest- hood at the Last Supper; The giv- ing by the dying Christ of His Holy Mother Mary to be the moth- er of all mankind; His glorious re- surrection which is the founda- tion of the christian faith and our hope of a glorious resurrection; The giving to the Apostles of the power of forgiving sins; The eon- ferrlng of the Primacy on Peter and his successors: The ascension of Our Lord into heaven; The des- cent of the Holy Ghost and the first miraculous evangelical preach- ing of the Apostles; 0f a‘l these thngs we are reminded, and, as we read in the letter of proclam- ation, "What things are holler; what more worthy of celebration? From these wonderful things ac- complished and from these Divine gifts with which the lifé of Jesus Christ came to an end, a. life came to us which is a true 1'fe; and a new order of centuries was given to the universal brotherhood of mankind." It ls true that the date of the death of Christ is not known with certainty. Wifle a great number of historians and scriptural writ- ers ho'd for the year 33, a. number o.’ other! believe that the event is to be attributed to the years 37 or 38. The great Pantlff Plus XI would certainly not allow an his- torical dispute of Title moment t0 prohibit the celebration of the an- niversery of such a glorious event.

The jubiiees at Christmas disposed of the mat- ter in a practical wrq when iv said, “If the men of 2033 by ices- on of the finding of new historic- - al documents are able to fix defin- itely the date of the death of the Redeemer, they will know how t4 do ther duty; at the present time we men of 1933 have ours to per- form."
