Canadians should give thanks this weekend Canadians have reason to give thanks this weekend for having avoided the suffering that has in some sections of the globe during the past months Monumental problems of nationalism language and govern ment action pale when compared to the natural catastronhes that have shook he world or the inhuman nature of man inflicting savage in on his fellow man Canada has not been the scene of sectarian violence that has continued in Northern Ireland or the Middle East Nor has any earthquake of size levelled urban areas of this country the way Italy and China suffered this year Canada has enjoyed despite the depressed agricultural market tor some commodities a bountiful harvest compared to the drought stricken countries of Europe Canada is enjoying a high dard of living compared to some less developed and it is rare to see any Canadian suffer from tremely inadequate housing or starve for lack of food on the table Canada has not suffered from riots generated by racial or cultural hatred but the seeds of such bigotry are becoming evident Canadians have much to be thankful for and The Herald takes this opportunity to urge all its readers to take part in Thanksgiving Services to pray for continued good fortune for this country in the coming months On Parliament Hill- We need people like Bryce rlMac Ottawa Bureau Of The Herald It was good to hear say don write me off just jet because with a fire shortage political characters in Canada we need to hang en to people hkt him he is not the private industry typo After Mr Mackasey quit the cabinet on Sept an uncomfortable Prime Minister Trudoau said his former postmaster general and consumer affairs minister indicated he wanted to enter the business world and there was immediate speculation that he would be resigning his Commons sent is well is his cabinet seat So far as Mr knew there had been no policy disagreement between the two But there obviously had been such disagreements along with other of opinion Within hours of Mr announcing his cabinet shuffle the natty Mr Mackasey was expressing fears about quote that if two conservatives run in an lection the voters will so for the It was eisy to tell he was concerned with the parly s future direction Dammit wc are a Liberal parly are several versions of what happened when Mr rtlumcd from a Portugese vacation to find the prime minister in the final stages of a cabinet shuffle The stories differ but it seems that Mr did not handle the situation any better than he did when John Turner stomped out of the prime minister to write his resignation last year Mr was informed that the post office portfolio had already been offered to someone else and that he would have to settle for consumer affairs It seems that other alternatives were discussed over i two hour period but Mr Trudeau did not offer anything that would ministers responsibilities or profile Had he rermmed cabinet Mr would have been in effect demoted And this man has an immense pride buried beneath all Irish blarney and he figured with some justification that he had earned something better Furthermore he explained he was committing himself to a national sales campaign on behalf of bilmgualism something the government desperately needs Those who remember Mr Mackasey performance back in the mid 1960s when the larson government set off the Great lag Debate realize how effective he can be on the subject of English trench relations That was what the flag debate was all about most politicians the year old Mr M docsn react with anger in a debate It more like a hurt iiiiEst- When English speaking MPs become hostile toward French speaking Canadians and described the new flag as a sop to he didn jump up and scream with rages of denial Instead tears came Into his eyes and his voice choked as he recited all those personal examples of his warm relationships with French speaking And when our boys went overseas with maple leafs patches on their uniforms no one asked whether they spoke or When the debates ended and most of his colleagues would return their apartments or houses in more fashionable arias or Mr would head off on fool dawn through the rundown market urea of the city Then if the was decent he would often sit on his si sited verandah talking with shoppers peddlers or drunks This nation will never field by people who live In ivory towers he would say What people around here have to is just as important as what the socalled intellectuals have to say perhaps a damned more important As he thumbed through letters supporting or opposing his views on an tear would come his eye People on the street said hello and hi knew heir names I am not in a position to soy whether Mr wis a great administrator or he will go down in history as a lowering minister but every cabinet can use a man like this And at this particular point in history it might be a good Idea for the minister lo make effort to restore his pride Unilingualism no Prime Minister Trudeau on the weekend admitted publicly before Liberal Party supporters that the parly faces its biggest crisis ever over the Issue The future of the Liberal Party outside Quebec he maintains hangs in the balance and he urges oil English speaking Canadians particularly in Ontario to a cede to the federal dual language policy despite Ihc lingua Hat course being taken in Quebec Later In his comments the prime minister urges that Liberals not backdown from policies which are right Among these It can be assumed is That Is a dangerous attitude to take particularly In light of results of Quebec s introduction of Bill How can the say that English speaking Canadians must back down from their feeling of concern and empathy for the minority In Quebec when the province Is itself split on the policy Certainly the Parti is a separatist element which is gaining in popularity but It Is stressing us part of Its platform that Bill does not go far enough On the other hand the English speaking minority I being derived of Its fundamental rights of Canadians in a country which wo official languages Canadians have made many concessions and compromises because of the French existence in Quebec Now are being asked to make yet another Is it not time mat the Quebec trench are made aware of the attempts by Ottawa make this a bilingual country Despite the dismal failure of the language program far civil servants here has been an attempt mode It Is unfair for anyone to say that bilingual ability or background has not played a major part In the selection of senior civil servants or for promotions within armed As well Canadians In Canada have had to pay for the establishment of to a degree unnecessary French language radio and television stations with requirement for tabic tompanics tarry their programming Until decides ogive equal status to as an official lunguagi then will continue to he lagging Canadian support for bilingual Ism

reserved for the outside world With the middle child I find com fairly simple and straight to the point We simply mutter a few comments back and forth such as Well you know like urn and we understand each other perfectly When it comes to the youngest the vocabulary and conversations take a slightly different course Actually you don t have a conversation with Teresa she talks you merely listen However when Saturday arrives and Teresa asks for her moose I know even If the rest of the world doesn lhat a moose Is a cent piece only becomes complicated If she receives a 1967 quarter witharabblt

instruction By DON III- queen Park Bureau lThellrrd The question of separate schools has come up again but with a new twist Traditionally the separate school question has centered on how much public money should go to Roman Catholic separate schools which long long ago were given they could on as separate Anyway public money docs go to Catholic up lo grade and the recent incident wis here In Toronto Hebrew school to gel in under public umbrella It is proposed that it be taken over by local with he only difference it and a regular school to be that It would give lasses in Hebrew and studies which would be paid for by the Jewish Hut he pro posits I out when the school insisted thai all would have to take these eourses Minister Tom Wells Insixleri that would have to be optional as is required by provincial taw for religious untrue linn However the Hebrew school business will be ironed mil for it appeared lhat there had been considerable provincial cooperation and consultation in the proposal In act It was probably looked on as a pilot project It would moke sense that the province be Involved In this for there have been pressures from various other groups lhat have their own schools and want to keep some identity and yet get public funds which they probably deserve One thing Is certain however If there In such a development the schools will be part of the regular public school system that Is they will be open to everybody The last thing lhat anybody In govern wants to do Is to enlarge the separate school system Looking back It seems evident we would have been belter off with the one big school system Not that separate schools In themselves good Most of them are But one system would probably have been more efficient end probably socially better Most educators and politicians today would just as soon didnt exist And they will stay
