4 1~e Candien Staesm,, omanffle, su>y12, 1l? EDITORIAL COMMENT A New National Awareness MEORT FROM OTTAWA by Russeli C. Honey, M.P. - Durhama The *real ignificant resuit of July Ist weekend was the confirmation of a nDew feeling of national awarene8s in Caadians. Without in any way turn- Ing aur backs on traditions and values -of the past, Canadians have decided ta face the responsibilities of the future, aware of ail the excitement which can flow froen doing so on our own. The most emotional event of the weekend was entirely spontaneous. At midnight on June 30th, 50,000 people filled every inch of space in front of the Parliament Buildings. The happy group became hushed as ail lights went out and a giant spotlight illuminated the Canadian flag atop the Peoce Tower. At the same time the Peace Tower Car- illon chimed "0 Canada". Canadians, including your Member of Parliament, stood unasha-nedly with tears rolling down their cheeks. At that moment uomnething very interesting happened to Ceanada. More important than marking feeling thât we are really marking the opening year of a new existence wîth ,a sense of national pride Which would have astonished un even six months ago. The next morning on Parliamnent Hill, Prime Minuster Pearson rend the text for a solemnn ecumenical servie, attended by the Queen. The reading was from i1 Peter 3(8), "Be ye ail o! one mmnd, having compassion one of another, love as brethren. The Queen was greeted at EXPO in Montreal with a warmth contrant- ing sharply with the tu'nse and disturb- ing nature of the reception accorded her when she visited Quebec only three years ago. The whole attitude was one of 'respect. Thiere was no suggestion of recriminations for slights, fancied or real, in the past. Registrar General, John Turner, the Cabinet Minister who best epito- mized the new sense of Canadians aptly described the whole experience when he said, "What happens daily at EXPO bas more significance for this counstry than ail of the speeches that have been made since Confederation on national unity". Professor J. D. Morton of Osgoode Hall finished a recent Globe and Mail article on the proposed reform of the system of divorce by stating that: "The problem is not unlike tha t presented in tire f ield of crimninal law at the moment where the thinking is aimost ex- clusively about the criminal and the hardship inflicted on him and littie or any attention seems to be paid to the function of criminal law in keeping the rest of us, who are not yet ciminals, tolerable, decent and reasonably respectable citizen-s." This is a sentiment that most ~,lce men will agree with, comments, hreRenfrew Advance. There are a ;great -nany frustrated law enforce- ment people about today who reckon A~hat in ail too many cases the legisla- 4ion that they must work under is far There is one area in the commu-n- fty where communications are more than night be desired. In any district every morning or every evening, and sometimes' both, smre yahoo drives to an address and honks the horn. Now the sound of the horn is intended only for a persan in- side, be it girl friend, boy 'frieÊicf or simply another member of the car pool. But the communication itself gaes to everyone with reasonable hearing ability and within a reasonable dis- tance. There are bylaws against unneces- 'kary blowing of horns but they seem Many people looking back over the hundred years since Canada became a confederation recali that -people work- 'red through that century to make Can- '&da wbat it is. There are .rany people ,who remember long hours of bard work and know that what they rem- ember followed an era when people Workéd even harder. .On the farm, men worked tili set of sun and then did the chores that weren't considered work, such as r.nilk- ing the cows, feeding the horses and looking after the other quadrupeds. Meanwhile, the wife in the kitchen was doing ber work too, and it often includ- ed rnaking yarn ta make cloth ta make garments. When the womnan finished b2er work in the kitchen, she often znoved ta the barn ta help finish the qéhores, as the busband and ather husky aaes around the place were doing. 1In those days, if the family wanted to go ta town the horses had ta be hitched, looked after while in town and bedded down when they got back. Now '.the man on the farm who wants ta take the family ta towvn si-nply walks ta bis garage, or wherever he parks his car, starts the engine and away they go. When they get back. they step out of the car and leave it. The onlv real chore is carryinq parcels ta the house. These thoughts of bard work and inc onveniences in the earlier days carne ta mmnd on reading the parlia- too ancient to deal with the job of protecting society. Reform (if possible) of the crim- mnal is important but' often emotion replaces scientific method. The automobile has complicated the enforcement of law and yet our society has flot yet corne up with ef- ficient control of drinking or reckless drivers. Th e deaths, property damage, bodily injurv and just plain nuisance of bad driving is a major threat to our society. There must be adjustment of traffic laws and an increase in the number of men policing drivers. Critical comment about the num- ber of policemen in a town this size is comr.non, yet there are nights when the local force would need three or four police cars bo curb the cowboys on wheels. Curtailed freedom or not, some day we will have to make it much easier for policemen to stop bad driv- ing. neyer ta have been read by anybody who would rather stay in the car than get out and go up to the door and knock. It's probàbly an outcome of the aId cowboy instinct. A cowboy would soon- er walk ta the nearest corral and sad- dbe a hýqrsg toride ta thie nearest house. Or it ïiay b n~'rag(6]a over) from the days of horses, when a smart horse could not be left standing unattended. There's an almost sublime egotism in the horn blower; he doesn't intend anyone ta hear except the person he's surnmoning. mentary debates and nating that Mr. S. Knowles, M.P. for a Winnipeg seat, was again impartuning the gavernment ta declare another holiday. It seemed a shamne ta Mr. Knowles, with Domin- ion Day falling this year an a Saturda y, that people in Canada wbo normally would have a holiday on the first of July were nat gaing ta get an extra day unless Mr. Pearson provided for it, and Mr. Pearson was afraid not ta. Sa civil servants, including those in the lower levels, who neyer work very bard anyway according ta accurate observ- ers, are given an extra day's holiday with pay for no work done. It seems that one can't enjoy a national day that just happens ta be a regular day off. Mr. Knowles is of that scbool of econamy that neyer takes into account the fact that work paid for and not done is an upward push on prices. Mr. Knowles will deplore the fact that pri- ces are gaing higher and berate em- ployers for letting them go bigber. He is one of the chie! reasons wby prices always are gaing higher and bigber. He wants them ta stay down witbaut anyone's doing anything about produc- ing goods at lower pnices. Mr. Knowles and Ca. have an elec- tion slogan. They haven't expressed it yet but doubtless it will came along any day. It is: For a warkless Canada. -The Printed Word Durham Countys Gréai Fcrmliy Journal Esabishod 113 years eaqo in 1854&t Also Incorporating U P The. Bowmanvill.

Climbing high in public opinion poIl standings as the old -lIme parties wallow in Policy differences and lead- ership confusion, the NDP sees itself on the point af breakthrough into the major leagues. And it has decided this is fia time ta rock the boat with controversial sacialist philosophies. In many of the policy utterances at its Toronto convention last week, the well-heeled successor ta the aId CCF party seemed ta be revîving its ane-time repu- tation af being fia more than Liberals in a hurry. In its effort ta be al things toalal voters, the NDP even found itseîf repudiating its own leader, veteran sac- ialist Tommy Douglas.

Surprisingiy, it wes another af the Party's aid guard - e red-hot firehrand in hîs day - Who fought and won the battle ta turn the NDP in a new direction. Snowy-haired MP Colin Cameron, a brilliant and ten- aciauis debater with a record af social protest gaing back te the hungry 30's, bluntly challengeci his leader's view that American investment in Canadian industry is a serious danger ta Canada's Political independence. Cameron doesn't go sa fer as ta suggest that the United 'States should teke aver the country. But he makes it plain that the Yankee dollar is more than welcomne in building up aur economy. Douglas, in his keynote speech ta the Convention, reerred ta Canada as "rap- idly becoming an economie dependency of Washington", and "a satellite ai aur paw- erful neighbar" in world effairs. Ne aiso pulled out ail tba aid shibboleths about the "corpo>-ate eite", who are le t le Hurr y"P the hands 01f the Amnericans, and included a sçwi pe at the press barons, ho h e accus- ed ofsekinlg' ta 'nould pub- lic opinion for their own ends." That sort of rabble-rous- ing oratary used ta go down pretty wel et CCF conven- tions in the past, and helped Tommy Douglas win and hold POWer as premier of rural Saskatchewan. It obviously didn't impress Cameron, who has two out- standing newsmen for sons- in-law and takes a mare sophisticated view of things. He even allowed himself ta suggest in a radio inter- view that Douglas hadn't had time as leader ta "re- think" party policy and bring it In lune with the times. And it was the "modernîst" philosophy of Cameron, flot Douglas' weary argument, that prevailed.

Canedian Council of EdUCRtion Ministers On June 2tb, the Ministers of Education of the provinces, at their meeting in Toronto, agreed ta the principle of establishing a Canadiar Council of Ministers of Education, sub. ject ta ratification by the provincial governments. The meeting followed an attempi by five education ministers ta meet with Federal Manpower Minister Jean Marchand ta discuss problerns related ta the new Federal Provincial Agree- ments on manpawer, being proposed by Ottawa. The refusai cf Mr. Mar- chand made the Minîsters realize that sorne form of interpravincial ergani- zation was needed ta make education a national pniority. Ontario's Education Minister, the Hon. William Davis, persuaded the meeting of Ministers ta establisb a strong secretariat for the council, stat- ing that Ontario would be prepared ta pay more than its 34ci share in its est- ablishment. are: (a) To .-ake education a national priority.

Cànada's First "Fly In" Industriel Park The purchase o! the fermer R.C.-j A.F. station at Centralia by the Ontario Gevernment introduces fer the first tirne in Canada a "Fly In" industriel The park, situated 25 miles nortb a!

The legisiation is particularly des- tigned te accommodete senior citizens -in need o! nursing care et reasonebie 1cost, and is net an action on the part o! government ta displace private nurs- ing homes. Another reguhation under the leg- tislation specifies, that those in Nursing Homes are te be allawed et least $15.00 per montb from their pension or wei- fare cheques for pocket maney. Increased Deiry Costs Mr. T. L. Davies, president of Canada's bîggest dairy complex, Silver- woads, recently stated that any cost increeses in the dairy industry wil have ta be passed on ta cansu mers because of a dangerously law profit margin. The profit, he said, on milk and creamn is one tenth o! a cent a quart. The farmer, Mr. Davies asserted, re- ceives 53% of the cansumer's dollar for milk, compared with 40% for other egriculturel products. The rate cf fluid milk set by the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, is $6.10 per hundred pounds or 15.7 cents per quart. The average return ta the dairy industry, eccording ta Mr. Davies, is 27 cents a quart in Toronto, and o! the 27 cents the Ontario dairy farmer gets 58% campared with the Canada aver- age cf 53%. The increased rate ta the fermer rnay mean a slight increase in the price Le the consumer, but 1 don't think that any of us cen dispute the dairy farm- er's entithement te the increase in view of his growing costs. It is interesting to note that in ane munîcipality alone of this area, during the month of June, over $38,000 was spent on liquor, and this sum does net Include the sale of b er.11 Into the coffn of Douglas' anti-American stance by MF Max Saltsmen of Onteai' Waterloo, South, who said pointedly: 'We musn't blame the Unit- ed States for whet la essen- tially aur own fauit . . . To say that political contrai in- evitablY follows foreign in- vestment may be a correct assessment of the pest. But it is not necesseriîy truc if You have a govcrnment de- termined ta resist-cconomlc domination." Would yau believe this further piece af heresy from the modernists? 'Where market forces offer the best solution, we shouldn't hesi- tate ta use free enterprise ...wc must have the least inhibition o? any political party in using aIl the econo- mnic instruments available ..It mekes little diffenence who holds the title deeds to the productive machine." Long-time observers af the CCF and NDP scene rubbed their eyez and look- ed again. But the Party be- iieved it, and with the strong support of !ta trade union wing, incorponated it in officiai policy. On other subjects the NDP showed it hasn't lost aIl the eng er and redicalism of the Ffromn which it spreng. Blit in several instances it adopted stances either in- distinguishable, or distîn- guishable anly by degrce, from views heid by progres- sives in Liberal and Consen- vative ranks. It was former Prime Min- ister Louis St. Laurent whe appied the "iberals in a hurry" label ta the CCF. Times have changed, but it seems no les. truc today of its pnegrnatic and powýer- hungry successor.
