average frenchman still friends trudy morris indifferent to free quebec drive wins award asiftivilfii- fresh tracks by barbara mcintosh musing over polk music a year ago when folk music was enjoying its peak of popularity the cynics predicted that it would soon pass the way of all youthful fads but to the surprise of some and the relief of many it has survived and woven itself into the fibre of now and time to come folk music is a way of life for those who sing and write illt has brought back the quiet simple tunc and provided a mode of expression for the fears hopes joys and frustrations of a complex society folk music is a lonely wail of lost love on a dark coffee house stage or its a happy youthful crowd on a city street corner folk music is half a dozen guys in a bachelor flat or its a walk in the woods with a long haired girl friend folk music is a martin guitar and a bad voice its wearing painted jeans and carrying a guitar case on a crowded subway its holding hands with a long haired boy friend folk music is a quiet protest or a violent demand its an escape from reality or a trip into the truth folk singing is easier than working folk music is cord lightfoot in concert or its singing in the rain at mariposa folk music is the worlds conscience its the pill tnfrcmp file a starving child or a dead soldier folk music is history by bob bonncttc as a canadian on my recent trip to paris the heautiliil french capital and home of the famous charles dc gaulle i was anxious to find what exactly was the french attitude towards canadians as a whole using my limited high school french believe me it helps and on meeting the occasional bilingual frenchman i managed to obtain the information i have received to my surprise i found the french to be cvtremely indifferent or yicmely interested in canadians some of them arc as curiousuboul us as some of us are about litem afterall their press also carries certain articles on francocanadian rclalioiis action canada active new cub by mary jane new on thursday september 26 the acton branch of action c an ada met at the home of bill coats action canada is a group of young canadians who are intcrcsted in a fuller participation and greater influence of young people in canadas government bob bonncttc expressed its aim as one of gaining a greater understanding of sympathy for and the hope of rcmodying the social

good service at reasonable prices the ordinary frenchman is indifferent to the call of president de gaulle for a free quebec he cares more about frances economic problems common market problems student riots and shares none of president de gaulles dream for overseas ventures lies concerned mainly with bis day to day fairly carefree life and lie couldnt care less whether quebec was the name of the new dance or the name of some arctic bird in fact he jaughs president j gaulles- delusions of grandeur and finds it hilarious that wc take him o seriously i found that some of the ordinary parisians jcnd to sympathize with canadians one french intellectual i spoke with spoke fnglish and was fairly educated on canadian affairs he told rue he admired pierreelliot trudcau and that he felt quebecs only hope lay within confederation he asked me questions on canada and he was quite keen on coming to canada for a visit or perhaps even to live here no matter what attitudes i detected i fell no unimoijty towards myself as a cauadiau nor would i have found any either miles of course i paid a visit to le grand charles tire result f all this speaks for itself the average frenchman is impartial or tends tti be sympathetic with the canadians trudy morris has been named the winner of the university womens club of miltons scholarship for the past year the award is given to the top
