Rogers Making One of the most difficult problems parents of grown children have to contend with is that, of guiding their children into a career. There is no doubt that one of the most common failings of parents is that they push too hard in attempting to force their children into the' type of career that they.

the parents- feel is most suited for their sons and daughters. And parents reason, Tor tRTmost part, as follows: I don't want my child to go into fny proles sion ormy business. Then, there is the group of parents who feel quite the opposite. They feel that if their child does follow in their footsteps it is a feather in their cap. It is self vindication.

It proves that their chiildren admire them and want to be like them. The problem with both types of parents is that they are over zealous. They are too insistent that their1 advice is the only course for their children to follow. PROPER COURSE What is the proper course for parent to follow?

(Photo by Belalr) H5h i i'i it i Recently I was a patient at the Ottawa Civic Hospital and I know definitely that mail was sent directly to me at the hospital and it hasn't been forwarded to my home.

I telephoned the mail room at the hospital to inquire as to why I didn't receive my mail and the answer was that the hospital didn't re-address patients' mail. I asked what they did with it, and was then told that they return it to the sender. Again I inquired happened if the mail had no return address and was told that then the mail was returned to the post I called the post office, asking if this was in line with postal regulations and the employee seemed quite surprised that this method was being used. I also asked him what became of' mail minus a return address and was informed that It is sent to the dead Jetter office in Toronto and eventually opened. This is a fine way of doing things suppose one of my letters contained a personal cheque? This doesn't seem to me to be the way to handle personal mail.

I am looking to BE HEARD for some informotioni 1 A spokesman for the Civic" Hospital says your description" of the mail service is accurate and he agrees that it is a poor system. All letters to discharged patients are returned to sender because-itfie staff does not have the time to re-address all the mail. This is the best the hospital can do. when a staff of three must deal with 20,000 letters each day. Medical care is given top priority in regard to hospital monies, and services like mail delivery suffer.

The spokesman says that other hospitals have the same problem. 'J ll-TO-JJ 1 mm -f.

Why does the federal department of agriculture allow supervisory staff to take their vehicles home at lunch time or when they cash their cheques? Written policy of the department of agriculture states that personnel are not permitted to use government vehicles' for other than business purposes.

However, the spokesman said common sense indicates that if an employee is a long way from home near lunch time he could drive to a restaurant to eat. Also, employees working outside of regular government hours would be permitted to use covernment vehicles in their work a than Arixra fViom rirtma ratKdr fian rotllfn in the nffire. Department inspectors make sure this is enforced and there are no indications from the department that the vehicles are being misused. It was mentioned some time ago that the government was. going to increase a widow's superannuation pension from 50 to 75 per cent.

I have a friend here who became a paraplegic in Czechoslovakia as a result of a car accident.

He tried to find out about his prospects for a future in different countries. He is 28 years old, an engineer by profession and he speaks English very well. There is no specific local organization for paraplegics, but your friend should get in touch with the Rehabilitation Institute at 722-6521 for general counselling and help in getting a job. He should ask for Mrs. Brammer.

Could you tell me what a match penalty is in hockey? The NHL rule book says a match penalty involves the suspension of a player for the balance of the game, and the offender shall be ordered to the dressing room immediately. A substitute player is permitted to replace the penalized player after 10 minutes playing time has elapsed when the penalty is imposed under rule 49 and after five minutes actual playing time has elapsed when the penalty is imposed under rule 44 or rule 64. Rule 44 deals with deliberate attempt to injure; rule 49 deals with deliberate injury; rule 64 deals with kicking an opponent or attempting to kick an opponent. A. player incurring a match penalty shall incur an automatic fine of $200 and the case shall be investigated promptly by the president.

who shall have full power to impose further penalties by way of suspm-sion or fine. Charles Dickens, in one of his -classics, tells of a. man who dug' in his yard and suddenly broke through the earth's crust. He fell headlong into the world inside. There he discovered an odd state of affairs.

Every person in this mysterious world was born perfect. No one was born lame. No person was born No one was Born with any, deformity. But this state of perfection did not last forever. It all depended on tne inchvidual, fortroon reaching a certain age, each person was deprived of those parts of his body that he never used.

In this strange land Dick ens discovered a cab driver With only a pair of hands. A lawyer had lost everything but his massive jaw. Two society girls were just a bundle of nerves. An bid school master had nothing left butt his heart. REALM OF FANTASY It is rather difficult for us to judge whether Dickens was only playing in the realm of fantasy.

It is more likely, however, that he was aiming at the truth that unless we use, or try to use, the power and talent that is ours we are being untrue to ourselves. If we are fearful of allowing our children to make use of the po tential that is within them we are. being unfair and unfaithful to 'them. Each of us is entitled to test his strength in life; each is en titled to carry the burden he feels capable of carrying. Every youngsters, every child of ours who decides to try a career of his liking, as long as it is moral ly correct, is entitled tcfulfill himself.

Sometimes I sit, on an anniversary Sunday, up there behind the pulpit and listen to che minister say a prayer of thanksgiving, while the ushers stand with offering prates piled high with pape money. It is all rather impressive from a super ficial point of view. Especially if we remember the days when the offering was made up of nickels, dimes and quarters. Well, what's wrong with all' those bills the collection plate? This is what's wrong. They are offerings from people who don't go very often or contibute very regularly.

They signifify that the donors are impulse givers. TJjey underline the amount of bad stewardship in the church. An offering plate over flowing with two and five dollar bills indicates that the givers probably won't be back until Christmas or Easter when they will give another two or five. And the church can't do a decent job or work with contributions from members that total five or 10 dollars a year. Nor can a member be considered to be a responsible churchman who gives insuch a way.

I go to two churches now and to neither of them very regularly lor I seem to De in some other church on most Sui days. To the one where my family and I are members, I make an annual pledge. I now contribute by cheque. To the other which attend when I'm at 'my I make a contribution of a dollar or two or five each Sunday when I'm at church. The size depends oh the state of my pocketbook on Sunday morn ing.

Just after the Cartoon Bug feature appeared in The Journal I sent in several cartoons. Since then I haven't had any answer. This was quite a few weeks ago. As the instructions said I included aself-addressed envelope to have the cartoons returned, but I've had no' answer on this yet.

How long does it take to get an answer? WhenThe Journal started running this feature, it was just being started by the syndicate. It said that.it would be about three months before cartoons-submitted by young madian readers could be considered. Thus, some time next month, the first Of the Canadian winners will appear and from then on, all winners published in The Journal will be Canadian. Unsuccessful submissions will be returned provided they were accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope. We have tickets to the National Arts Centre orchestra and recently when we arrived shortly after 8 p.m.

we went into the parking garage and were told to park at the back of the auditorium near the entrance to the garage as opposed to near the door to the centre We feel, that early arrivals have to park a long distance 4 away -while the late-' comers get the choice close spots. Why? The garage manager at the NAC says that early comers always parked as close to the lobby area as possible, working back on all three parking levels. When the NAC garage first opened, early arrivals were parked at the rear to ease traffic congestion en route to the NAC. However, after about 10 days, this policy was changed because it was unfair to early comers, as you have suggested. Since you arrived early ana had to park at the rear, it appears that on that particular occasion there may have been some unusual circumstances, he said.

The annual conference on relations sponsored by Columbia University and the University of Windsor was held in New York earlier this month. There were seven Canadian press representatives, one U.S. media representative, one representative from CTV Canada, one U.S. government representative but no U.S. senators or congressmen.

But the CBC had 13 representatives present. Why was this necessary for a "conference in New York when a commercial TV company deems one representative sufficient? CBC coverage 'of the conference required 11 (not 13) representatives including reporters and technicians, because they were obtaining material for, five different broadcast services CBC English television, CBC English radio, CBC French television," CBC French radio, and CBC broadcasting on short wave to other countries, a' spokesman for the corporation said. On Monday, Nov. I posted some letters at the main post office at Alta Vista and Riverside Drive at 10 p.m. I jsent a letter to myself along with the lot to check when they would be delivered.

They were all sent first' class but the letters were not delivered until Thursday, Nov. 12, and were not even stamped in the post office until 1 a.m. on Nov. 11. This seems to indicate' that all mall that came into Ottawa from Monday evening was not delivered on Tuesday and I find this quite shocking.lKwonder if you could get a statement of how mail can be posted and4elivered the following day.

Canadians I get to my cottage now as many4 weekends as I can, from May to October, It used to be a place to go to dur ing the summer vacation. Recently I. decided I should, contribute, to my summer church through-envelopes, but I didn't pledge. No one asked me to. If I don't have a one or two, or five, I may even give a 10.

Recently I got a receipt for my i i from that summer church I was astonished how small it was. If the average member who gives himself that nice warm flush by tossing on a few dollars on the rare occasion he attends. adds up his gifts at the end of the year, he will be startled at how meagre they are too. There is only one way I know for a good member to support a church. That is make an annual commitment and live up to it! There is only one way for a congregation to plan its work ma- i 9 A.

C. Forrest FIRST COMMUNION iiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiim turely. 'That is secure annual commitments from' the members, and budget accordingly. I can never understand why so many members are opposed to the idea. They can't get a telephone, have join a club, drive a car, of do anything else we do without-making a-commitment to pay.

I hear from time to time of a congregation that is having financial trouble. In nine cases out of 10 the problem is with the officials who refuse to secure commitments for regular contributions. When they do, all those bills disappear from the offering plates, and they are filled each Sunday with white envelopes with bills and cheques inside. Such churches prosper and havo the means do a lot of good work outside their own building. Persons who pledge to give every Sunday tend to go every Sunday.

A spokesman for the post office says that all first class mail posted at the main post office is conveyed by the belt system to the forward mails division located on the third floor for cancelation mail so conveyed for cancellation by 11 p.m'. on Nov.

9 was processed for delivery the following day. There appears to be no logical explanation for the delay in cancel'-, lation or delivery of the letter in question, however, the occasional letter could be delayed for a brief period of time by faulty operation of the conveyor belt if the letter became lodged or stuck in the system. The conveyor belt system is checked several times daily and the possibility of delays due to this system are considered remote by the post office. The spokesman added that no deliveries were scheduled for Nov. 11, a statutory holiday.
