Rut the fact lists in I19 far-ml that our priwiiicuil imciiiics arc liiuitml. There is only so much nioney for the various departments of goicinnicut: and, while education is as important as anything that comes under provincial jurisdiction, Its coat, too. like the coats of othcr public seniccs, must be cut accord- ing in cloth. Doubiless, the Depart- ment of Education is exploring pos- sible ways and means of increasing available resources to meet the need, wlilch will become ever more pres- alng as time goes on. Perhaps more could be done by the districts them- selves. and pvi'ii;ips tint. This is a matter in which a Royal (Tommis- lion inquiry would serve a useful purpose. The one obvious rcmcdy. and pprliaps the only satisfactory long- term one, is direct Federal aid to the Provinces for education on all levels. This is as important, and pei'li.'ips more so, to A district school as to a great university, and the. Implementation of a sound realistic policy in this respect is long overdue. The old sI"lII1hf'iIPIIl to the effect that the I"roxincial right to administer the schools entails the full responsi- bility for finding the necessary funds hasn't a shred of validity. It prob- ably was never anything more than a I-ierleral Government excuse to Ihirk its own responsibility in the matter. These days, at any rate, whatever it may have been like ycars ago, whalihappens in a small one-room school is of concern to the whole nation. The present Provincial i'invcrn- nu-iii, in common with most of the other F'rovincial Governments, has brought the need to the. attention of Federal authorities on several oc- casinos. The good work should be kqpt up. One of these days the force of public opinion will he heeded. They Expected Help The l'nilr-rt States State Depart- mrni has angrily rejected the Soviet Government's charges that the Hun- garian revolt was ”fomented from olitsiric," meaning of course the lliutcd States. For once, the Rus- sian! socin to be having the better of an argument. Perhaps it was not done intentionally. or perhaps the pus:-'lIiIP i-onscqucnccs had not been properly appraised. but the fact that American-sponsored propalllndl "1- rouragcd the Hungarians to rise up Gflalilsi their Russian oppressors is as clear as anything can he. even if it did not actually ”fomeni" the up- rising. And the chief witnesses are the thousands of refugees who have found refuge in Wcsicm countries. Without exception, each one who has been questioned on the subject has testified that the "Voice of America." the chief United States' propaganda machine in 1'-Zastcrn Europe, and "Radio Free Europe" which has American hacking did lead the peo- ple to believe that the United States would render military aid to any Iitclllte country that might try to to convey encouragement when Iveel after week and day after day radio announcements givingithe same gen- eral impression enter the homes of people who are dreaming dreams of liberty. And that is exactly what the "Voice of America" has been doing for years. It was inevitable that it should have exercised a powerful influence over the minds of the peo- ple. Perhaps the revolt would have taken place if there had been no such thing as the "Voice of America": but ask any Hungarian refugee and he will say ”we expected help."

The Guardian does not neces- sarily endorse the opinion of cones- prvulenis. MR. GARDINER REPLIES Sir. - I have before me your editorial note of December 8th in which you state.- ”AurIi-ulture Minister Gardiner has expressed the belief that Can- aria will one day have a population of 40 million and that when t at. day comes there will be I0 seri us farm problems. That's all very well: but it is poor consolation to farmers of the present who would like the problems which trouble them now to receive more atten- tion from Federal authorities. Most nt them wnn't be around a hundred years from now." That is quite typical of the kind nt writing which seems to be fairly general in these days. It leaves out all that was said ex- ccptlnff the last phrase. and then comments upon that. My statement was to the effect that we have to million people now and we will be growing in a coiintry with probably 40 million. During the whole period. whether it is twenty-five years or in him- rlrcd years nnrlcultural production will be incrcaslnl as the increase in population provides a better market. I did not suggest people would be better satisfied along the way or that there would be no problems. I did suggest increase in population will provide the most favourable returns. I am.

Durbln. contends that kngcdziknee "mlm union be re- II as a normal se childhood." W l" The most common cause of this deformity in yo tars is a de- ll! Ill lclllllfllll ural muscle reflexes. However. any patholtuj. cal condition of ligaments. mus- cles or bone may be the cause of this disorder. which doctors call genu valgum, 11 may be wise to consult an nrthopedlst If you are worried a- bout your youngsters legs and feet. But there are things you can do to help correct this muscular deficiency at home. . Dr. Durbln. an expert on the subject. gives several suggestions for parents to follow in a recent issue of "The Practitioner." For one thing. don't let your child assume harmfub postures while sitting or eating. Dontt per- mit him to all on the floor on his heels with his feet rotated out- ward. Dr. Durhin has found this particular position is very mm- mnn among ,1 ,'ers viewing television. t Your child must not stand with his feet apart and turiiedt out. Don't take him on long walk; or nn shopping tours unless you have a stroller. buggy or some other device in which he can ride when he becomes tircd. Keep him off scooters. but en- cmirage him to run about nor- les and other pedal toys. , Dr. Durbln also recommends letting a knock-knecd youngster sll astride a rocking horse fre- quently. remarking. "Who has ever seen a knock-kncerl jockey?"
