"TELL YOUR
CHILDREN"
-A Vicar's Advice
Addressing 2,000 members of the Mothers' Union in Chester Cathedral the Rev. Ronald Allen, vicar of St, Chris- topher's, Didsbury, Manchester, said:—.
"I don't think you can possibly make a mistake if you tell children the truth about the sox questions they ask. If you make up fables about storks and that sort of thing, you make life more diflicult for your children. Be frank with them."
