April 1-)(AP) Good citizenship begins when a per son, nnswerlng Cain's guest Ion, "Am I my brother's keeper," re plies, "f am my brother's keeper," Dr. Frederick M. Hunter, chancel lor of higher education, told a thou sand delegates to the 28th conven tion of the Oregon Congress of Pa- ents and Teachers last night. It used to ho, Dr. Hunter re marked, that a person was a good "citizen if he kept out nf trouble and especially was be a fine char acter If he left something for his family when he was gone. liut the time has come when good citi zenship embraces the responsibil ity or adding to. the welfare or the community. Citizens must educate them selves to control of their preju dices and the home and -the school s the means of doing it, be said. "Wo must teach our young people to vote not with the emotions aroused, through pressure groups and by demf-gods but by intelli gent thinking and knowledge of facts," the chancellor counselled. A homo cannot be a good one until "we make a partnership" out of It and remove father from the status of treasurer. Mrs. John E. Hayes, Twin Falls, Idaho, associate editor of the National Parent Teaeher magazine, snid. "The work that each one (in the home) Is called upon to do should he looked upon as n blessing and not a doom," she said. Saying the home was not enough in itself to create the proper en vironment in a community, she de clared that a new kind of citizen ship is needed, "a citizenship with in attitude of responsibility for one's own acts." "If today is the most Important time In tho history of education to be a teacher, it is also the most im portant time In the history of edu cation to be a parent," she said.

Simultaneously the authoritative Italian newspaper Gionmlu d'ltalla apparently replying to French ae cusutlons nf Italian aid to the Spanish Insurgents, declared France had sent Algerian troops to Help the Spanish government.
