TEE ANAIAN TATSMAN BOMANVLLE ONTRTOTHURSDAY, JULY 4th, 1957 hi' ELSIE CABRRUTHERS LUNNEY [ 110W WE CELEBRATE [It seemrs to us that the mean- in o aur holidays-and aur hof dy too-has been lost. National holidays such as July lst and the 24th of May have becomne just long weekends when everybody gets in a oar and goes somewhere, the pat- riatic sîgnificance having been largely lbat. The 24th of May, indeed, is no longer even on the 24th, but was changed by the govern- nrient to the previous Monday ini order to make a holiday weekend. Whethcm this change was lhe wish of most Cana- dians, we shahl neyer know. It la almost sure, howcvcr, that. few nowadays remember that the holiday was given original- ly ta celebrate the birthday of one of the most famous of Eng- land's queen's, and so our-s, Victoria. Where is the aId chant now: "24th of May, the Queer's bîrthday, if you don't give us a holiday we'll all run away"? School children of past ycars knew why they were having a holiday. We doubt if many do now, or if it means much ta r them. However, as we took a drive around the surrounding districtj last weekend, we were pleased ta sec the Union Jack and our Canadian flag, the Red Ensign, flying from many homes ana public places. This is a won- derful country. We are fortun- ae to be Canadians, and a part of the British Commonwealth -an unparallclled federation af free countries, many of which have had the priviloge of being brought by Britain from illîteracy ta self-govern- Iment. Our heritage here jr. Canada is something we take for granted ail too often. A cer- tain amount of pride is a good thing, and we often think Car.- adians could do with a bit marc of it. We wauld pemhaps under- stand aur country better too, its past, its present problems and future possibilities, if we re- freshed aur memories by read- ing again how a federation of the separate provinces was brought about. Professor Don- ald Creighton tellý the story well in "~The Young Politician", the first volume of his biogra- phy of Sir John A. Macdonald. He tells there also of the celebrations in Ottawa, Mon- treal, Halifax and Toronto, as well as other smaller centres, of Canada's first birthday. The day, fortunately, dawned clear and warm, a perfect sumnmer day. In Montreal at the parade ground, Professor Crihn tells, traops formed the thre sides of a great square. Thon "the Mayor and the Recorder, bearing tlfe proclamation, ar- rived respiendently in a firne carriage drawn by six white harses. The proclamation was read; the bands crashed into God Save the Qucen; there HOW 'tHIGH OFF THE HOG" WILL YOUR FAMILY LIVE?

Every- where, from the Atlantic taTc-- ronta, guns boomed a salute. One cannat help wishing, after reading of this firat bitn- day, and subsequent celebra- tions, that we marked the day now with a little mare pomp and ceremony. It is a good thing ta emember how we came ta be what we are. But the mator car has caused such an exodus an 1holidays that ceremonies have been abandoncd for the moat part. Should they be? There would still be mnany1 thousands in cities and towns ta attend, and others woulci mcad of it in the newspapers, here and abroad. A fitting part of the cercmony could be the reading of the original proclam- ation. In Bowmanvillc, for in- stance, it could precede Lhe community picnic which has been held on July lst for sev- eral years. With this thought, we pass on ta other subjccts.
