populous province does not have a Catholic monastery devoted to con life he said Furthermore he added there t a single English language Cistercian to serve a country where nine of the ten provinces

fashion were the words Terms of sale strictly cash or credit off for credit if we dont get it wedonUoseasmuch I like those sentiments Great fossils in Rockwood by University or Guelph The chances of you or me ever being fossilized are very slim One way might be to have ourselves thrown Into a swamp so that we became buried in mud The mud would seal us off from the regular processes of decay and we might eventually become Something like this happened in Den mark about years ago It was the custom then to exe cute outlaws by throwing them into swamps A body that was recoverd in modern times was so well preserved that archaeologists could tell from the contents of the stomach what the man had had for his last meal Chances art better for animals that live In the sea When they die and sink to the bottom they can become buried in sediment Even tually over long periods of time the sediment is trans formed into sedimentary rock and the entombed animal is fossilized Usually its only the hard parts of the animal that art preserved the shell if it has one or the skeleton But occasionally the soft parts can be preserved though in a changed form For example fossilized jelly fish have been found in British Columbia rocks of southern Ontario are full of fossils and very ancient ones too Many of them date from four hundred million years ago and belong to classes of animals that are now extinct For Instance remains of the sea lily or crlnold which In spite of Its name is an animal can be found In great abun dance In local rocks This animal lived In a cup on long stalk made up of lar bones each with a hole In the middle These circular ossicles to give them their scientific name are a little like the beads of a rosary In fact on the island of fame off the northwest coast of England

Frank said Canadians will have to find reasons for staying together Speaking without notes to Halton District Women Institute Phil brook called Canada a historical Improbability To put the two parts

positive things Dr said leader ship experts can take care of the technical changes which will come No doubt about that well have tutlonal changes he said But he stressed the country cannot be run as a book keeping exercise The question we all have to an is why should we stay together Comparing the cultures of French and English Canadians said the French were here first established the fur trade and established a distinct culture English speaking Canadians tended to develop culturally similar to the Americans The monarchy created a cohcslvcness among English Canadians but that has now been diluted the MP said Philbrook said until modern communication and transportation threw the two parts of the country together they lived separately and were able to bury any problems between them He said some Ideas of Quebecs quiet revolution became perverted to a radical move ment Somewhere along the line it became English he sold He said some people in the separatist movement were idealistic but misinformed and misguided some were frankly racist some were after power He added that It was not necessarily premier Rene who wanted power but some people behind him The majority of people in Quebec consider themselves Canadian Dr said The separatists were elected because the Quebec voter who wanted good government had no other choice Bourassa made a mess of the Liberal Party and the Liberal government he said They may not want to separate but they want a fair deal and a new deal the MP said That gets Into tech nlcal side he added noting that although there are laws to join Canada
