When the Dionne quintuplets grow up to be young ladies 10 next Sunday they will decide their futures themselves without anything more than the usual advice from their parents.

Oliva Dionne, their 41 year old father and guardian, made this quite plain today as he spoke to a Canadian Press reporter In the study of the 20 roomed home in which the quints were reunited with their parents and seven brothers and sisters late last year. There was nothing to stories that he and Mrs. Dionne would "give" the quints to the church. "People don't give their children to the church or to any other profession these days," he said. "Children decide for themselves.

Quinis To Decide Own Futures I "The quints will have every advantage, every bit of education we think suitahle. But I'm not kidding myself that, when the time comes, I'll have anything to say about it. Like other parents I'll give my advice but you, can be sure those girls will decide for themselves.

And if you think the world is interested in what Is going to happen to them, how do you think I feel? It's going to be great looking forward to it." Mr. Dionne said that, while there is no thought of secluding the quints permanently, they will not be shown to the public at regular intervals this summer as they were up until last year. He indicated that while the question of their appearances before the public in future still is to be decided, there is little likelihood that, they will ever again he exhibited as a day to day tourist attraction for northern Ontario.

Complin said.

Liberals Cry For Bracken Forestry Policy Starts Taunts OTTAWA. May 26. (CP) Lib eral members in the Commons Friday night shouted "Where is I Bracken?" when Hon. Earl Rowei (P.C., Dufferin Simcoe) said that after the next federal election a better forest policy with probably a forestry department would be established. (The Progressive Conservative I in a speech by John national leader.) I "Mr.

Bracken Is out studying! nrnhlems vnu don't servatives were trying to destroy him." He was glad Mr. Bracken was interesled In forestry poliry. "I think he is more interested in forestry policy thin in the official (Progressive Conservative) opposition in this House," said Mr. Crerar. "What did you think of your present leader (Prime Minister Mackenzie King) when you came into this House? asked E.

E. Per ley (P.C., Qu'Appelle.) "He (Mr. Perley) does not need to barge into this discussion," ssid Mr. Crerar. "Ho went into Mini toba and campaigned against Mr.

Bracken." Mr. Terlcy said he had not. Mr. Crerar said there was no doubt Mr. Perley had supported party efforts to "destroy" Mr.

Bracken. YOUR OPINIONS Briefly warded letters on topics of public Interest are welcome In this column. Letters must be accompanied by the name and address of the writer. The editor reserves the right to cut letters when space limitations so require. Religious Instruction To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir, It serms incredible that there are actually people in Canada not illiterate, but holding fairly responsiole positions who are so narrow minded that they view the teaching of religion in the schools as a threat to freedom of worship. Dd they consider that when a ehila Is iaught mathematics and physics the slate is trying to force him to be an engineer? or chemistry and biology? The slate Is trying to force him to he a doctor, druggist, or research worker? No! But religion! Freedom of religion ought not to mean freedom from elision unless people are going to gonll the way, and tell the world they are atheists. One wonders what the reaction of these people who have such a passion for freedom of religion (that they won't let those who want it have it, because it conflicts with their not wanting it) would be if it were suggested children be taught the basic facts about all religions us a necessity to real culture?

Harold Alvin, Budget Won't Assume War Over Before March By CHARLES BISHOP Frrm Th Tribuna Ottawa Bureau OTTAWA, May 27. One of the reasons why the national budget is delayed this year until some time in June is that word was awaited from Mr. King on his return from the London conference as to how long the war was expected to last.o What light Mr. King was able to shed on the subject would be a cabinet secret. In any event, owing to Finance Minister lislej's pre occupation with the Bank act (so peculiarly contentious this year) he has not given the personal attention to the budget which, ordinarily, he would have given by this time.

The budget discussions are going on, however, the war estimates have all been framed on the theory of the war lasting all of this fiscal year. The budget will provide the ways and means necessary to carry on. There is a hesitancy to assume that the war may end be. fore next March, whatever the hopes and the reasonable prospects that it will. To cut down the budgetary im positions meanwhile might, it is feared in some quarters, be construed as a slowing down of the war cflort and capitalizing on hope in place of reality.

This is the influence which operates against any change. It Is supported also by the idea that the time to skim off the cream is when the fat content of income is the highest; while thp time to ease off Taxes can be reduced at any time, with or without legislation; they cannot be raised except by legislation, usually at budget time. Against this argument there is strong pressure for reduction of the burden of taxation in the lower brackets of income to en. able people to prepare for the post. war when individual in.

come Is likely to suffer. There is also the belief that bread cast on the waters now may serve a good political turn. So far as excess profits are Concerned, the belief Is strong that taxes on them will be of greater flexibility. Some very strongly worded brief have been submitted by certain war Indus, tries regarding the abnormal degree to which their profits are taken and the lack of provision which industry can make for the less affluent days. British and United States concessions in this line the way taxation there is averaged up are pictured as mucfl more liberal.

There seems a reasonable degree of contidence that something more will be done to permit indu.strv in fine weather to lay aside somc wouki 'be immediately after for the r.ain war is over.
