-. ~WLLJXNIi.J1Y, .ULYZ5M, IM W EDITRIAL COMMN Isn' This Your C Saturday was Canada's 94th birth- day, a day set aside by federal statute as a holiday to mark the birth of our great Dominion, yet f ew of us did any- thing about it by way of special decora- tions. It was just another holiday. One local storekeeper, who incident- ally was one of the limlted number fly- ing flags over the doorway, was truly embarrassed by an American visitor who entered the store. This visitor asked if July lst wasn't Canada's birthday and the storekeeper replied that it certainly was. "Where are ail the flags?" queried the puzzled American. There wasn't much the storekeeper could say in reply by way of explanation, except ta say that Canadians just don't seem ta be too interested in the outward trappings connected with such important occas.- sions. The American asked if he might buy a couple of flags for his youngsters ta take home for souvenirs and went out shaking his head. Probably we have flot placed to much significance of late on Dominion Day or Canada Day, whatever one wishes ta caîl it. In many merchants' eyes and manufacturers too, there was so much confusion this year aven what day would be taken for the holiday and if employees were entitled ta an extra day because July lst feli on a non- working Saturday, that many of us found the actual day beclouded by the complications it created. - But, that isn't really a valid excuse ,ountry's Birthday? for ail of us who neglected ta pay any special attention to what should have been one of the greatest, most memor- able days in our lives. The Americans put on a tremendous show for their Independenoe Day on July 4th, but they had ta fight for their freedom. Possibly that makes a dilference, although certainly many great Canadians in the middle 1800's fought a gallant verbal battie ta bring about Confederation in 1867, and that should count for some- thing. Others will excuse Canadians an the ground that we reaIly are flot a demonstrative race. Canada is a nation, supposedly independent, sa what's the point of making a big hullabulloo about it? Who is that going ta benefit? Frankly, we believe it is about time some of the old flag waving, parades, patniotic speeches and the rest were revived. Otherwise, many of Canada's new citizens and visitors may think we have no pride in our country. Dominion Day not so long ago was celebrated in great fashion and we can't quite under- stand why it has been allowed ta slip almost into oblivion. Ail it amounts ta now for most people is the first holiday of the summer season, a time ta head for the cottage, finish the garden or complete the odd jobs around the house. Surely, the birth af a nation deserves something better. We pay special trib- ute ta neighboring Port Hope, one of the few communities which yean after year has made Dominion Day anc of the great celebrations within that town.

That pnobability presents Cana- da with two pressing problems: ta try ta save those Commonwealth prefer- ences that are vital, and ta expand our trade with Europe. The alternative would be an almost complete depend- ence on Amenican mankets, plus an in- crease in U.S. manufactuned imports that would inevitably add ta Canadian unemployment, writcs C. J. Harris. At the recent Canadian Manu- factuners' Association convention L. D. Smithers, president ai Dow Chemical af Canada, outlined the effect on Canada of the Eunopean Common Market. "The New Europe," said Mn. Smithers, lias inoveti towands free trade areas but not towand aur conception of free trade . .- Tariffs have been and are raised against us. We'should be making an even greater effort ta establish ounselves in Lunope as reliable suppliers af quality goods at competitive prices, because this devcloping economy is the wold's greatest potential for bath aur raw ma- tenials andi aur finished goods. "We shoulti reminti these people, when we have occasion ta do so, that our bonders are relatively wide open to their rnanufactured goods - much wid- er open than theirs are ta us. We as a nation should be keenly aware that we anc bcing pushed toward cconomic isolation. In the absence ai positive action, we will soon be the only in- dustrialized nation on earth without a large market in which ta compete with some degree ai equality." If Bitain enters the Common Market, she will presumably take in with her the other member countnies af the European Free Trade Anca - Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzen- land, Austnia, Portugal and Finlanti. This 90-million population trading arca was formed aiter the ECM rcfused ta accept a Bitain that wishcd ta retain Commonwealth preferences. With the grawing prosperity of the Common Market countnies, Bitain andi her EFTA partners must came ta terms with the EMor enter econamic decline. This summer three senior membens of the British cabinet will tour ail Com- monwealth capitals for talks on wheth- er Bitain should jain, on fonm some link with, the Common Market. Since Britain seems ta have little chaice, Canada's need is ta negatiate for a working arrangement with the ECM. Otherwise we will almost certainly face economic isolation, a decline as an industnial nation and lowened living standards. onto the sides, aiter the fifrt twenty minutes.

During the forenoon, the growers held an interesting meeting in a hall, to discuss many of their prob- lems. After lunch, the Depart- ment staff met about one hun- dred and iifty people from right across Southern Ontario, and conducted themn on a tour of Durham Forest, commenc- ing at the headquarters, going along the south trail, ta the middle road, ta Lookout Hill, back ta the boundary, and east to the Cavan-Manvers boundary, where various dem- onstrations of baling, pruning, etc, took place. Enroute, they had plenty of opportunity ta study aur present forestry op- erations, and compare them with similar projects in their own particular bailiwicks. On June 22nd, we welcom- ed two bus loads of Lindsay school children and their tea- chers, who took the same in- teresting route as the Tree Growers, except that, they jogged through the Ganaras- ka Forest ta the Garden Hill Recreation Centre for lunch, after which they proceeded to Batterwood House, near Canton, the home of Mr. Vin- cent Massey, Canada's former Governor General. The following day, two more bus loads of Lindsay school children and their teachers, duplicated the activities af the group of the previous day. We appreciated their Interest in our forest area, in our pro- jects, and in aur recital af why certain trees are planted, why some former forestry practices are discontinued and why we think others are more Progressive.
