building the nation friday canada is 99 years old frantic preparations are moving ahead for the centennial celebration next year and already the crepe hangers are predicting econornlc troubles whan these are completed there is a feeling among some that the radical separatists in quebec have been corked only until the birthday has been celebrated economic pressures between govern ments between labor and management and between farmer and consumer have never been more pronounced political bickering on the centre stage of parliament has during the past year dropped surely to its lowest depth i can our problems be excused on tho basis of our relatively young age are we to plead immaturity while such a rationalization may be tho simple way out it is hardly one on which to place the foundation for our second century it is time we accepted the idea we have come of responsible age and pre pare to play a more aggressively inde pendent role nationally and internation ally it is time our voice was heard and rospected in the councils of nations not as an echo of our powerful southern neighbor but as a reflection of our col lective national thinking this does not require us to bo un- nelghborly although we may be occa sionally disagreeable it does require us as individuals to make our views more frequently known to our legisla tors we can learn so much from history look back to the earl newspapers of 1867 the pcoplo in that generation had the toll oi speed planning to drive on your vacation a motor trip is a pleasant experience provided you use common sense adhere to the rules of the road and take it easyl too many people spoil their vaca tions by failing to relex especially be hind tho wheel of a car they dont seem to realize that hurry hastens fa tigue and precipitates blunders on your trip allow plenty of time for each days ourney leave the speed records to the foolhardy and let the bullies go their mad ways according to experts chronic hurry ing not only frays the nerves but cuts tire life reduces gas mileage and re sults in more frequent engine repairs in one field test a driver set out on a 295 mile ourney trying to keep to tho hurners speed of 65 mph despite his frantic efforts the car averaged only 46 opinions and oxpressod them they par ticipated in the founding of our country they did not find political activity un touchable they revelled in it and they were able to defend their party s policies on trie slightest invitation or provocation our emergence as a nation will cer tainly require strong leadership but most important it will require the acrlve in terest and participation of individual citizens the lullaby of general afflu ence is a strong sedative to national concern it may be one of our greatest weaknesses our soft spot if we are to grow and develop it will be necessary to shako off a lethargy we see as far too prevalent it is a leth- argy that has pushed us from the pin nacles of ambition as a nation to tho depths of selfishnoss as individuals our unity in organizations is too often for strength alohe perpetuated- on the basis of personal gain we have lost sight of any national interest being so busy with our own selfish interests we have fenc ed our concepts of concern in too small an area sacrifice is not a now word it has been a key word in our development but in recent years it has declined in popularity the challenge has been low ered and we have willingly discarded it for less demanding roles our nation fraught with seam splitting tendencies reflects the change besides preparation for canadas centennial let us begin the building for after the party too as individuals with a national and international concern so much larger than our own backyard- thinking and without conscious effort our nation will reflect that broadened role mph it passed 126 other cars on tho road and made the trip in six hours and 25 minutes another driver took an identical car over tho same route holding his speed to 50 mph the car averaged a respect able 43 mph it passed only 62 cars and made the trip in six hours and 50 minutes the 25 minutes that the first driver saved cost ii per cent more gasoline 50 per cent more oil consumption and caused extra tire and engine wear on the hurried trip the driver arriv ed tense and fatigued exhibiting the characteristic symptoms of those drivers whose

tance plan and the health resources riiiicl committee work in parliament is vciy heavy al t he present time with al most ceiv committee also working on spindmg estimates this is a detailed sluck that is carried out and is designed to save time ol the house of commons to date this appeals to be quite success ful in atcomplishmg this the committee on drug costs has a very heavy schedule and has enough witnesses now to last until at least early december ol this year i hpe that we will have a useful repoi t to make to the house ol commons by the end ol this session theie has been discussions of the ithils of politicians or lack of ethics i ins week evidence ol this was picxluced in one ol the committees the member loi the yukon mi erik nielsen was quest lonmg the minister of northern af- laus and natuial resources and evidence was pioduccd by the minister concerning a confidential report prepared by officials ol his department on the north he also produced a paper presented by the mem bor for lhc yukon to the government of ihe yukon which was apparently ideiili cal to the confidential one with the change of one word throughout the whole report the member for the yukon at jirst denied tins but lattr is reported to have admitted to the press that he did acquire a copy ot this confidential report and use it for his own purposes without identifying the source he justified his action bv saying it was too bad the mm ister could not keep his reports confiden tial the amount of legislation passing the house of commons is excellent apart irom rare mild flareups the procedures in parliament are straightforward and without incident in addition to this the new committee system is working well this system allows very detailed question ing into government spending that is never possible when in the house of com mons itself there is no question in my mind that to date dus is a good and eflec live system queens park report by george k e r r in i a fc4 the ontario housing
