i- 7t the canadian image garden elf a year or iwo ago prince philip made headlines in canadian papers tylth a report ed statement to the effect that the standard of physical fitness in canada was low re cently sir julian huxley was reported as saying that the canadian city in which he was a guest was dr the late sir thorn as boecham after a few days in canada during which time he must have boon quilo busy in htsown fleldof music and-could- have had little time lo listen to radio pro grams nevertheless was qble to produce for reporters a sweeping condemnation of can adian radio the comments of brendan be han on canada after some misadventures here wore mainly unprintable generalizations such as these usually have a core of truth which may be why ihcy are annoying to canadians who take thmtriomlywhonlhnyaremao b his itigulshed visitors from the british isles on the other hand such generalizations could bo made about almost any country all can adlans aro not physical supermen neither are all britons canadian cities are drab if one looks for the drab spols so are london manchester rome and paris some canad ian radio programs are pdor but could be matched with some of those emanating from the b b c what might be more annoying to can adlans if they stopped to think is the nurn ber of closer neighbors who know little or nothing about canada a recent television program showed an inquiring reporter ask inglhsaru framlc residents p at ran dom some questions about cariada to lho question what is the capital of canada ono out of four answered correctly one of the others thought the capital was on tario one frankly didn t know and the third dldnt believe hat canada had a capital asked for the name of the canadian pnm6 minister one san franciscan the same who correctly anvwewd the first question again answereclairicctlytwd althooib8rd i dn j know and the third thought he was someone with a french name laurier st laurent the san franciscan who amazingly scored 100 per cent in the informal quiz show turn ed out tofoe an immigrant from holland who had never visited canadav gabble talk in crowd scenes on the stage the back ground effect of a talkative crowd can be achieved if all the extras with gestures and grimaces say to each other gabblegabble gabblegobblo an alarming number of people are talk ing gabble these days alarming because they are people who should know better they don t say gabblegabble but their conversation is remarkably inflated with terms almost as meaningless on a tv program recently an interview or s subcct was a young toronto artist who had recently gained considerable recogni fion byswltching from pamtingto sculp ture in steel done with a blowtorch the interviewer s questions were mtel ligont the answers explained almost noth ing every time the artist seemed about to explain spmq interesting point he made a vague gesture and said you know the listener didn t know and neither did the interviewer if was not surprising that the artists sculptures on display before the cameras seemed obscure in meaning too there have been good minds that havo found expression difficult but they arc not common ji general muddled talk is the outward symbol of muddled thought in many cases the you know tech nique is not the product of a mind unable to think or to express itself it s ust an other evidence of mental laziness anything the hstoner s knowledge can contribute means that much less work for the speaker but it s being enormously overdone and it does of course cover a groat number of instances where no thought is being gen crated at all you know is probably the cos est way to avoid thinking an idea into words but there arc others you know gives the listener the ob of working out for himself the missing heart of a sentence it is led up to by the use of minor assists which release the speaker from listing details or examples and alt that sort of thing and so forth and so on et cetera et cetera language like money is a form of ex change there ore many ways to debase the verbal coinage one of them is to move closer to the stages meaningless gabble gabble where mora sound replaces speech u- thegoodobddayi back in 1941 back in 1911 photo by behar taylor imincir tr airjfwt t suytvt cuut sfuce city lights is the true countryman in some danger of becoming extinct the current census may provide us with the answer at any rate it will at least indicate whether there has been any further speed up in the great can adian trek from countryside to town and city that is the census began according to the ccn sus of 1901 with rural dwellers outnumber ing urban residents in the proportion of five to throe the next forty years so changed things that by 194 1 urban dwellers were in a mtiority although interestingly enough as recently as that close to iftftf 43 s percent of the total population still lived rural by 1956 hpwever fully two thirds of all canadians wore urban dwellers and there is much evidence to sunjest that the pro portion has further increased in the past five years the reasons for thib urban concentration are well known even so in a country as vast and spacious as canada and as unde veloped there does seem to be something anomalous about it an indefinite continua tion of the trend conjures up visions of a largely deserted and desolate countryside into which armies of urban dwellers venture forth in soason to grow food dig for miner als and cut lumber somehow the prospect doesn t please but the fact must be faced that for most canadians the country nowadays is the placo you-spend- weekend in the countryman of course might well retort that cities and towns are places where people live work and sleep between weekends certainly a weekend census would produce results very dtfforcnt from the monday to friday kind be that as it may the answer to the question how are you going to keep them down on the farm after they vo seen tor onto montreal vancouver et al is that you can t but with two canadians out of every three now living in towns and cities its possible we will yet have to answer the question of one younq student who on being told this asked what will happen to the countryside when its three out of throe not in doubt dominion bureau of statistics reports that the total revenues or all governments rose f 4 818 millions in 1950 to 1 1 297 millions in 1960 a new record high taxes of all kinds being what they are we wouldn t doubt it for a minute proiect successful with the success of the community centre fund practically assured the attitude that nothing can loo accomplished in acton as a community proiect should be dispelled the reception that the canvassers have received indicates very forcefully that community spirit in acton is not a thing of the past in all segments of the canvass the response to the proocp has been most encouraging the lesson we may all learn from this success is rhaf we can a5acommunity actontpttsh anything that will
