Thinking deeply is a chore in
such weather. It seems that
though our bodies operate more
actively during the warmer days,
our minds grow sluggish and
slow under the sun. It’s a time
when, more than ever, warnings
of impending doom fall on deaf
ears. It’s also a time, however,
when the world around us is at
its most productive, and very
beautiful: when life seems ex-
ceptionally precious. Perhaps
that’s why I was so affected by
two recent CBC television pro-

grams,
United Nations

The first was presented by the
United Nations, and was, in fact,
a half-hour’s warning that the
dangers of nuclear energy are
everyone’s responsibility. The
second program was a documen-
tary account of the Russian re-
yolution. Both were excellent, as

“The Hand That
Rocks The Cradle”

By EILEEN ROBINS

Summer has come late this year. The water of “our”
lake is still too cold for more than a quick dip, and my
children haven’t yet worn a sunsuit. Still, as I write this,
the sun is shining and the air is warm, and it isn’t hard to
believe that the livin’ is easy.

some friends who were with us,
that five years ago, when I was
expecting my first child, I had
been much concerned about
bringing life into a world which
seemed to be hovering on the
edge of self-destruction.

But the miracle of creation had
then turned my thoughts from
that particular concern to the
concern of making sure that the
child was healthy and happy.
Now, with two children to think
about, I was again wondering
what I, and other mothers, could
do to ensure that our generation
would not be the last.

Political Parti
“What can we do?” said my
friend, mother of three. “We
don’t have anything to do with
it.” But her husband wasn’t so
sure. He pointed out that it was
a fact that political parties had
differing views on how to deal

ither, Recording Secretary; Jessie Ewart, President; Pat McKibbon, Vice-Presi-
dent; Margaret Ferrall, Financial Secretary. Standing, left to right: Gertie Pither, Three-year
Trustee; Gwen Paul, Warden; Irene MacMillan, Two-year Trustee; Barbara Thompson, Conductor.

“For instance,” he said, “Hugh
Gaitskell, of the British Labor
Party, has different ideas from
Harold Macmillan, who’s a Con-
servative. Everyone wants peace,
and an end to the arms race, but
different people have different ap-
proaches on how to do it.”

He went on to say that as
thinking people, he supposed it
was our duty to elect to govern-
ment the men and women we
thought would best deal with
what concerned us.

Democratic System

What can be done when a gov-
ernment, just elected, didn’t seem
to be going about things the way
we wanted? “After all,” said
Margaret, “under our democratic
system, for instance, it would be
four years before we'd have an-
other chance.”

My husband and I, quite mili-
tant politically, said that the
answer was to work hard for the
party of one’s choice between
elections as well as at election
time.

Anti-atom Society

Margaret suggested a Cana-
dian anti-atom society. A minor-
ity, if it believes strongly enough
in something, can fight and strug-
gle for that something until it
achieves its ends — witness the
minority CCF group, which
achieved old-age pensions for
Canadians. In addition to which
we could talk, talk and talk (just
as I am doing now), to see that
everyone is as aware as we think
we are, that these first few years
of the atom age may be the last
of our civilization.

I must confess that, having
settled the whole matter at least
partially to my own satisfaction,
I was feeling pretty righteous all
the following week.

Then, sitting in the home of
some other friends, we watched
the TV program about the Rus-
sian revolution. And our friends,
who have been exposed to com-
munism at its worst, posed a
question I haven’t yet answered
satisfactorily. Do we, as freedom
lovers, fight the tyranny of com-
munism with all the forces at our
command — which includes the
possession, testing and possible
use of nuclear arms—or do we,
through fear, decide to co-exist
with and appease communism?

Our Generation
Thus, (in the opinion of many)
opening the way to final com-
munist conquest of the world,
denying to our children the way
of life our generation has fought
mortally hard to preserve.
What is the answer? Since the
hand that rocks the cradle rules
the world, it would seem that,
eventually, you and I must de-

with the situation.
