Young, general and boys‘ work secretory of the M.R.E.C. who delivered a very inspiring message on the subject: "Understanding the teen- ager." Mr. Young emphasized the diffi- culty of understanding the boy and girl in their teens. Great physical and mental changes oc- our in this period, which are as bafliing to the teen-agei- himself as they are to his associates. ‘There is s marvelous opportu- nity in this period of development" said the speaker, "to set the sta of Jesus Christ. terlatlcs of this age group, and ‘pointed out how these characteris- tics could be developed in the way of Christian living, ‘This generation." he continued "is a confused one. How could they help being confused. in the years?" "It is our responsibility to_ help this confused generation of teen-agers find their way.” “The teens was the high inspir- ation point of life and as religious l'(i\l(‘liiO!'B_ it is our duty and priv- ilege to inspire them to the high- est service."

Dr. MacMillan: "It must have been a big sentence." Premier Jones said it was on account of the way “the lady re- porters’ wrote it up. "Perhaps I have said something just now that will be made into headlines, that will catch the fancy of the coiin- try." he added.

Demands Six Nazi Groups Be Convicted Terms Thom Political Nests 0f War; Defence tlouiisai Objects. By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN NUERNBERG. Feb. 38—(AP)'— The United States demanded to- day the conviction of six Nazi org- anizations on war crimes charges, terming them political nests of war, but defence counsel objected that such action would outlaw more than 1,000,000 men-one-third of Germany's adult male popula- tlon. Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief United States prosecutor, asked the conviction of the German Gen- eral Stafl and High Command, the Reich Cabinet, the 8.8., the Nazi Leadership Corps, the S.A., and the Gestapo, whose membership was estimated by Allied sources at 2.000.000. A defence lawyer, however, as- serted that the membership, in- cluding turnover, would exceed 7,000,000 men, Arguing legal and technical ques_ tions in trial of the six indicted groups, Justice J kson asserted the organizations “ re the carriers from this generation to the next of the infection of aggressive and ruthless war. . . “The next war and the next pog- roms will be hatched in the nests of these organizations as surely as we leave their membership with its prestige and influence undim- inished by condemnation and pun- ishment. “It would be avgreater catastro- phe to acquit these organizations than it wcquld be to acquit the entire 22 ndividuai defendants." Earlier today, the International Military Tribunal agreed to recon- sider its decision not to permit the defence to coll Winston Chur- chill as a witness, Counsel for Joachim Von Rlbbentrop told the tribunal he had not had time to file a written brief on the subject, as requested by the tribunal, he- fore the tribunal announced its decision. The Allied prosecution estimated that, because of deaths and dupli- cations. nniy 1.000.000 of the esti- mated 2,000,000 members of the six organizations would be liable for trial if the groups were convicted. The counsel for the Reich Cab- inet made the estimate of the total membership in all the organizat- ions aa more than 7000.000, and said "to declare an organization criminal means final condemnation for each member-a consequence which is unavoidable and ineradic. able," Justice Jackson said it would he izft to the Allied Control Council to decide which members should actually be brought to trial.

The citation accompanyin the award has inst been receive and reads as follows: AWAIIDOI‘ ‘Iiolliaflflllllllsadbflorvloaflllfi lieutenant-Colonel George Goodwin King PIAII, E.D., The Fflyll Clnldlln Arflllpfy Lieutenant-Colonel Peako has 8rd Canadian Light Anti-Aircraft, Regiment through- out ail the operations by hid Can- adian Infantry Division in North West Europe. In this period his regiment- has undertaken many‘ different tasks in addition to its normal anti-aircraft role and in ail cases the Regiment has acquitted itself with distinction. During the winter months in the Nijmegen Iaiient he developed and produced a most efficient modification for his guns which enabled them to fire in the ground role. He then arranged and personally conduct- ed many extensive harrassing and fire support programmes with dev- astating eflecton the enemy. En- emy retaliation was often heavy and accurate and he was frequent- ly working under heavy shell and mortar flre which inflicted casual- ties on his troops. Nevertheless, Lieutenant-Colonel Peake contin- ued to conduct these programmes and to develop improved drills- until by deception and carefully pre-arranged fire plans he outwit- ted the enemy counter battery or- gonization and enabled his troops to complete their fire plans virtu- ailv unmolested. In the operations by 3nd Can- adian Infantry Division south of Oldenburg in Germany on two oc- casions Lieutenant-Colonel Peoke with his regiment took over a complete brigade sector of the front. The carrying out of these tasks required an immediate and drastic re-organlzation of his regi- ment to meet the needs of an in- fantry role. This changeov . was effected efficient} and in the midst of battle wthout interrupt- ing the operation in any way. While engaged in the infantry role Lieutenant-Colonel Peake’s leadership was aggressive and skilful and he always undertook mom. than his orders demanded. In the final advance of Olden- burg his regiment kept pace with 6th Canadian Infantry Brigade on his right and provided complete left flank protection for that for- mation, during an opposed advance of approximately flve miles. By his personal leadership, disregard of-seif and outstanding example. tLis officer has been responsible for the success of the many ac- tions, both against enemy aircroft and enemy ground troops, which his regiment has fought.
