What was there to solve? Canada is a bi-lingual coun- try. We all know that. Surely tha means that we speak either English or French, Fine. Now, wherever there are large groups of English and French living side-b¥ side, it's reasonable to expect that they would acquire a working knowledge of each other's language to facilitate business, social services and community activities. I can't see that a farmer in northern Quebec needs to speak English any more than any other Canadian in a remote settlement needs French, but I do feel that all Canadian children should be taught both English and French in elementary and_ secondary schools, so that in later life, should the need arise, they could easily pick it up again. Only a dictatorship can make peple speak a_lan- guage other than their mother tongue and we _ haven't reached that stage. yet. To speak a second language is to livé another life and fluency in English and French is a tremendous asset anywhere in the world. HAVING LIVED close to France and spoken French since I was five years old, I was appalled at the intol- erance I discovered when I first came to Ontario. This has largely disappeared since World War II and Montreal's warm hospitality during Expo has melted the last of the ice. French conversation clubs and evening classes are buzz- ing in many Ontario cities and towns, not by government edict, but of their own volition and when I hear six-year-olds of non-French speaking fam- ilies singing 'Frere Jacque" then I am satisfied that the lines of communication stretch into the future, even though obstinacy and misunderstand- ing in the past may have al- lowed them to rust. IT IS JUST one year ago this week that Oshawa's mu- nicipal elecions took place and with the election of Ernest Marks, QC to the mayoralty, the bright spot- light of publicity was focused on an erstwhile highly re- spected but very private fam- ily. What is it like to become, overnight, central figures in the many facets of city life? Mrs. Marks says it has been a wonderful year. "T had reservations, at first, because I had always been perfectly happy and contented to be a home-body. I have never taken an active part in women's clubs, because with a growing family of seven I had more than enough to do at home. "Then, when I realized that my husband was seriously considering accepting a nomi- nation as mayor, I knew that I must be prepared to adapt to whatever changes the future might bring. "It has been good for me, It has lifted me out of a com- fortable complacency to an awareness, I have had an in- sight into all the different de- partments, services and or- ganizations that make the city tick and I am_ constantly amazed and proud." ALTHOUGH they don't like to be singled out in any way, as children of the mayor, the older children, Joseph and Melinda, show an admiring interest and tease their father when his picture or state- ments appear in the news- aper. The younger pair, Sere, 8, and Christy, 5, CARD COMES LATE VANCOUVER (CP) -- A Van- couver woman sent a Christmas card to her sister in North Van- couver last year and it wasn't delivered until Nov. 2.

Ted, who is studying at St. Michael's; Jill teaching in Ot- tawa and Marsha who is teaching in Toronto and plan- ning to be married before centennial year is out, all have a good time with their Dad when they come home at weekends. "Our family routine has changed very little. My hus- band made it a practice to be in his office by 9:15 a.m. and now the same applies to city hall. If there is no official function, he comes home for a light lunch; then back to work and we all get together for dinner. I am accustomed to his absence in the evenings, because he frequently had appointments with his clients at night. Even now, he spends Saturday and part of Sunday at his office. "This has been an excep- tionally busy year as far as special events are concerned and I have enjoyed every min- ute of it. The most rewarding part to me has been in get- ting to know so many people whom, otherwise, I might never have met. "TI have learned to be ready for anything on short notice and have long since stopped worrying about what to wear. Now that I consider it, I feel that I have received much more than I have given." I SUPPOSE it's too late now, but it does seem a pity in this centennial year of grace that we are not having a civic Christmas tree. Could we not bring out the monster birthday cake, wreathed with evergreen and ask the mayor to "light" the candles at dusk on Saturday, December 23? Perhaps the Salvation Army band would play a few carols and, led by their songsters, we could all join in for half an hour.
