MONDAY, FEB. 27. 1939 Local Hungarians Hold Firsf Goodwill Night "From the altar, of their past They bring their own contribution. To build Canada." pftOM an altar dedicated to Hungary an altar supporting a shield of the nation, crown mounted and flanked by two angels a boy and girl lifted assorted pieces of wood and built from them a maple leaf, A piano struck the chords of Canada. The audience of 125 persona shouted applause.

Here was the climax of the first Hungarian Goodwill night ever held In Winnipeg, possibly the first ever held anywhere. It was Sun day evening at St. Stephen's Hun garian hall, Hlgglrw ave. Kirkconnell Speaks All the long and troubled history and rich culture of the Magyars were depicted In three brief and colorful tableaux, conceived and directed by a local man of Hungarian origin, E. Duha.

But none brought quite thu warmth of applause as that showing the attitude of the young person of Hungarian origin to his new homeland, Canada. The event was staged by the Hungarian Roman Catholic parish. Rev. E. Oroskovith, the parish priest, welcomed the 125 persons, half of whom were non Hungarians, in the audience.

Prof. Watson Kirkconnell, of United col' ge, who lectured last summer Bt the University of Debrecen In Hungary, and hu been awarded the honorary degree of doctor of philosophy by that university and other Hungarian honors described hij last visit to Hungary.

These were two of the reasons for youth entanglement in crime voiced in sermons from Winnipeg pulpits Sunday, church, Rev.

W. G. Martin Sunday evening said "The time is long past when schools should teach more than merely the three R's. Religious education Is almost completely ignored." At Westminster United church Dr. E.

M. Howse said: "Most people have the spirit of adventure. Without it a person is dull. They want to do something to show they are alive. I believe it is this that lies behind much of the lawlessness that Is characteristic of this age.

In Winnipeg, M. Martin said, the police force was doing its best although it was undermanned, and people who once complained when an American newspaper asserted that the city was a hot bed of crime now "realize that it was all too true. "The schools have shirked their responsibility In providing our youth with a complete education," he said. Teachers have care of children five days a week almost longer than parents do. Yet they are not doing enough." Emphasizing his theory that there was not sufficient religion taught in schools, he sad: "If nothing is done in this regard then we cannot complain of the boy who graduates from school to crime.

The school and the church must work hand In hand with the home." Dr. Howse told of the outlets sought by young people for their natural spirit of adventure outlets that often led to degradation. He quoted from a letter received by a Canadian minister from a young girl In which she described her adventures in petty thievery and cheque forging. "The girl said she was not sorry for what she had done and that she obtained a thrill from it," he said. "We must find a way to release the spirit of adventure in us that will not end by destroying us," he said.

This could be attained as person approached more closely the Christian spirit, he said. There was no human hunger that could not he satisfied, possibly by sublimation, in Christianity. "The things that lead us downhill are often in themselves natural and noble. They must be harnessed or sublimated, always controlled and directed. Instead of repressing them we must turn them into something fine and strong.

Sinnot, Arch bishop of Winnipeg, in a pastoral letter read in Catholic churches Sunday, to Join with the church "in a communion of prayer" to "storm the gates of heaven that Almighty God may turn again in mercy, towards tihose nations and people which have rejected Him."
