4 The Canadlan Statsmn. Bownmnvle, Nov. 13, 1968 r There are many misunderstandings connected with Remembrance Day and, Indeed, concerning past wars. We hear oM the news media that the members of the armed forces who participated ln the severai wars during this century did îndeed die in vain, in senseless slaughter, that the first World War 9 articipants made a useless sacrifice ecause it was supposed to be the war to end ail wars . .. and didn't. We also hear suggestions that the annual ob- servance of remembrance has no mean- ing any longer and should be abolished. 1With respect we humbly suggest that those who fought and died in the First Worid War did not do s0 with any thought in mind that if they won there would neyer be another war. They fought for many reasons, most of them because their way of life was threatened. This also applied during the Second World War. Many of them mnay have been influenced by the ban- ners, the bands and the fact that their friends were joining up, but we doubt if in many cases, their feelings on the subject were so altruistic that they feit they were going to save the world. It *as a job that had to be done. Their ,untry had to be defended against out- si e powers that w ere threatening it. The hated enemy was the Kaiser in the first war and Hiftier in the second. For many it was an exciting adven- ture, a hazardous but thrilling experi- ence. Nobody ever expected to be killed ln either of these wars. Somebody else night he, but not them. The writers and the poets have buit up the image of flag-waving patriots marching into bat- tie against ail odds, their heads held high and their motives of the highest order. Nonsense, most of the service men and women were just doing a job that needed to be done, or that their leaders thought needed to be done. They died by the thousands, scared, dirty, bloody and shattered, but they did win, these civilians who took on the job of defending their families, their jobs and their countrymen. If they hadn't corne through, things would cer- tainly be different for everybody in Canada and not to the iiking of most citizens. So, let's forget about the criticism and the abolition of Remembrance Day services. They are stili important if only to remind us ail that tyranny could break out again and our cîtizens might once more have to leave their comfort- able homes to defend themseives. And, let us make every effort to restrain those who in the name of remember- lng those who died while saving our way of life, would foui the theme by turning it into a holiday so there wouid be just another long weekend away from work and available for enjoy- ment. This is no way to remember our fallen comrades. 25 YEARS AGO (Nov. 18, 1943> Durham County delegates who attended the Ontario Progressive Conser v a t i v e Convention ln Toronto, Fri- day, inciuded Mc. and Mrs. M.

As a resuit, they have given their ailegiance to the one province where they do feel nt home, Quebec. Pro- vincial politicians - and a few federal politicians too, but witli less success - have been able to build on French Canadian alienation to threa- ten separation If their de- mands are nat met. Quebec's new premier, Jean-Jacquei Bertrand, ig expected to he easier to get along with than his two pre- decessors. But it could be only a temporary respite if the nationaiists get the up- per hand again and force hlm to be tougher. If this alienation Is not ultimateiy to lead to the end of Confederation, Mr. Tru- deau and Mr. Pelletier be- lieve Ottawa must also get the clear allegiance of French Canadians. The way they see to do that Is to show that Ottawa, like Que- bec, is concerned about their aspirations. The problem wvas dramaticaiiy Iiiustrated at the press conference where Mr. Pelletier first lift- ed a corner of the veil that stiil hides the full outlines of his planned minorities policy. He was appearing with a group of French Canadians from Manitoba who had cali- ed on him to ask for a cul- tural assistance. "We wil always be grateful ta Quebec for what it has done for us." one of the Franro-Mani- tobians toid reporters. 49 VEARS AGO (Nov. 20, 1919) The 1919-20 officers of the Women's Auxilary of Bowmanville Hospital are: President, Mrs. Thos.

One of the things that makes a Federal policy especially Important now is that France and Quebec are already actively helping Fcench-language minortes In Canada. The Quebec Governmient consolidated its efforts in 1963 ln the Service du Cana- da-francais d'outre frontiece. IL bas a staff of eight and a budget that this year wilI permit it to distribute grants and technicai assist- ance worth $150,000. French activities came into the spotlight a few months ago when Mr. Trudeau de- nounced as "underhanded" the activities of a French officiai, Phihlpe Rossillon. Mr. Rossillon had been in Manitoba during August to discuss aid ta the French- language minority there. He was the, same official who arranged the 1967 visits ta Paris by a party of Acadians from New Brunswick. They saw French President Charles de Gaulle and came home laden with promises of aid, including money for the French-language daily newspaper 'Evangeline of Moncton. The Quebec program 's biggest project so far has been to grant $100,000 over three years ta College St. Jean, the bilinguai teachers' college at Edmonton, A- berta.1 The Trudeau Government Is not waiting for the next constitutional summit for a start on Its counter-offens- Ive against the provincial politicians who have made use of French Canadian nationalism ln Quebec ta back up their demnaids for more power. One of the foundation stones of Pierre Trudeau's formula for defusing Quebec nationalisrn jg the Billof Rights that he wants to enshrine in the Constitution. It would guarantee ltnguistie rights across Canada along with the traditionai politicai liberties. Mr. Trudeau put his pro- posai for a Bill of Rights before the Federal-Provinciai constitutional confer e n c e held last February. When he meets the provincial pre- miers In December, he will undoubtedly be pressing the Idea again. But the past few weeks have brought two separate federal Initiatives aimed at the same goal. The first %.vas the Officiai Languages 1Biil Introduced in the Com- mons by Mr. Trudeau hlm- self: the second Is the min- orities policy that has been promised by Secretary of State Gerard Pelletier. In Mr. Trudeau's view, shared by Mr. Pelletier, Ottawa's only d e fen c e against Quebec separatism Is a new deai for French Can- adians right accoss Canada. Bilingualism 13 the other side of Mc. Trudeaus elec- tion pledge to stand up for a ciassicai federa]ism agairnst Quebec's demands. He feels that separatism Is directly linked to thlngs like the lack of French-language Rîsk That Must Be Taken It has aiso contributed $50,000 ta 1'Evangeline; help- *ed recruit French-speaking teachers for St. Boniface and New Brunswick; gave grants ta French theatre groups in Vancouver and in St. Boni- face, and ta, libraries ini Hamilton and Kingston. In the United States, there are grants ta a French- language weekly newspaper In New England on an ex- change programn with the University of Baton Rouge In Louisiana. The minorities have also, benefitted in aid froni Otta- wa, but this has neyer been systematic nor as massive as the aid froni Quebec City. About $50,000 went to Fcench-language grnups last year from the $400,000 com- munity development pro- gram. The Officiai Languages ill will put lnto effect the irecommendationq ta the Federal Govecnment made last year by the Royal Com- mission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism In iLs report on language cights. IL wili: --pcovide foc the appoint- nment of an Officiai Languag- es Conimissioner, a $30,000- a-year ombudsman with the task of investigating coni- plaints that the rights set out in the Bill ace being In- fcinged.

Trudeau is al- readl\ looking acotind foc a nominee and said lie xvould have ta be bilingual and "pretty taugh". -sets up a mechanism for establishing biling4al dist- ricts where ail fedecal serv- Ices wiii be availabie in bath English and French. The central administration in Ottawa wauld also he oblig- ed to be able ta deal wIth the public In either language. -clearm the way for crum- Inai proceedings to be held In either language nt the discretion of the court on the application of the accus- ed. This Bill and the minori- ties pahicy, however, are Tar from being the whole pack- age. As Opposition Leader Robert Stanfield warned the Government when the Bill was introduced, this Is the easy part, because Ottawa can act unilaterally. The schools, municipal af- feins and a host of Qther areas where language rights are Important are under the juriadliction of the provinces. The test, as Mr. Stanfield said, will be whether the Government can reach a concensus with themn for joint action. Mr. Trudeau admits it Is a nisk. but he calîs It a risk that must be taken If Canada lm ta survive. And he wiIl lie trying at the December conference ta geL the prov- Inces to match the federai action with efforts in their Cry from the Heart 1 7e frustrations of the long-suffer- Ing, too often-unheard "littie man" are bath rnany and vexatiaus, but it is rare ta find themn expressed with the kînd of eloquent indignation and stinging sarcasmn empioyed by the small busi- nessman reader of one magazine, as follows : IDear Editor: I regret that the condition of my bank account has delayed payment of ray subscription. My shattered financial situation is due to the effect of federal laws, pro- 'vincial Iaws, municipal laws, corpora- tion laws, liquor laws, traffic laws, by- Iaws, outlaws and inlaws. These laws compel me to pay excise taxes, municipal taxes, business taxes, custom taxeS, sales, and federal and provincial income taxes. In addition, I arn forced by the strong arm of the law to pay for a business licence, dog licence, hunting licence, fishing licence and marriage licence. For my own protection, I carry life Insurance, hospital insurance, liability insurance, burglary insurance, prop- erty insurance, f ire insurance, rent in- surance, compensation insurance, mort- gage insurance, accident insurance and old age insurance. My business je so governed that I arn regulated, inspected, disrespected, suspected, rejected, dejected, examined, re-examined, sumrnoned and fined, un- tiI I have no time left to devote to the business itself. I can tell in all honesty sir, that but for a miracle which has occurred 1 would not be i any position to for- ward the enciosed cheque. The wolf that cornes to so many doors these days has just had pups in my kitchen. I sold thern, and you get the money. Yours etc. Messages receivèd and understood, by us anyway. It would be nice to think that Mr. Benson (in Ottawa), Mr. Dozious (in Quebec City) and mayors, reeves and municipalities ev- erywhere would be receptive to such a strong and representative hint. Nice, but alas, probably naive, too ...And yet, you neyer know. A few more such communications delivered fn the proper quarters just might get results -"Industry" Report from Ottawa By Russell '.Many programs which Canadians take for granted operate an a shared- çost basis. The liospital Ipsurance Plan, post-secondary educatian costs, medi- qare (in those Provinces which have 3pined the federai plan) and other prFograms are operated by the Provin- qýes but the federal government makes 9xbstantial (usually 50% conrbtos The Student Loan Plan is an ex- Ù~erne example of a plan administered 4.y the Provinces but ahl of the money fivolved is paid by the federal govern- 4ent. Under this plan the student must ypake the application to the Province àd the Province alone can decide *hetber the application is granted. The *deral authority bas no say, but if the *pplication is granted it foots the bill. 1ý For many years there has been a ïestlessness at the federal level because 4ften the Ottawa government receives #o credit for its contributions. To do *rnething good and flot get credît for fl fromn the Voters is a matter of pretty werous concern ta a politician. SA further worrisome thing at this Svel is the tax-sharing arrangements tith the Provinces. If there is anything a-: politician hiates worse than doing sornething and not gyetting credit it is to collect taxes and hand the money over ta another politician for him ta spend. This is the situation now where Canadians pay both federal and provin- C. Honey, M.P. cial income tax. Every time he pays bis incarne tax bill the Canadian gets a great dislike for the federal govern- ment because that is where his cheque goes . . . il isn't fair . . . the Province gets a slice of the cheque . . . but this is not generally realized sa the province is not included in the hate bit. This week Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Benson indicated that the federal gov- ernrnent will try ta get the constitution- aI and taxing areas of the federal-pro- vincial relationship back into perspec- tive. Most of the shared-cost programs are within the constitutional authority af the Provinces and the Prime Min- ister indicated that the federal govern- ment should move back ta its own legis- lation f ield once il has been successful in establishing a uniform programn across the country. When this happened the federal government would, of course, transfer to the Provinces suffi- dient tax points to enable them ta con- tinue ta operate the programs them- selves. In these circumstances Canadians would na doubt still file onlv one tax return. I thînk that ini the v'erv near future the collection of inc(>me tax may be donc by a joint federal-provincial authority and if tbis happens the tax return wiil clearly indicate that you are paying a "federal-provincial" tax. 1?br i~rntabi4n ~Me~imuz Durham Countys Great Family journal Estabished 114 yearsa«go in 1854 Aima Incorporaitinq The Bowmnanville News The Newcastle Indep.ndsnt* 's The Orono News £othorised a» second ceme Matil by the Peut Office Depi., Otlawe.i, ndfer pymnn ci postage in cash Produc.d .very Wednesday by THE JANUS PUELISH!NG COMPANY LIMITED PO.

The worst deer hunter in the whoie entire world has corne out i print charging that I arn the worst deer hunter in the worid. l go for second worst, but M'I fot be slandered like that. AUl 1 can say is that "Skinny Wyn- och must have the gout again." As I've pointed out before, this was the great- est one-line filler ever used in the news- paper business. A filier is a littie item used In newspapers to plug a hole. They can run up to ten lines, but they can't be any shorter than one. When we were desperate for a one-liner to f iii a hole on the front page one time, we stuck it in. "Skinny Wynoch has the gout." And he did. lie couldn't even sue us. Next time we were frantic for a one- liner, we inserted, "Skin Wynoch has the gout. Again." And he did. Now, probably suffering from gout, he has written a scurrilous article in which he beats around every conceiv- able bush, including the mulberry, (and I wouldn't be surprised if he'd been into the muiberry, which wouid give him the gout) trying to suggest that I amn a worse deer hunter than he. This is not only like the pot calling the kettie black. It is like one politician claiming that his opponent is a bigger liar than he is. Skinny now sits in my old editoriai chair, once occupied by the second worst deer hunter in the world, now by the worst. In a recent article, gout- inspired obviously, he recailed the time we'd gone hunting together. As far as it was in his nature, he to]d the truth about me. lie said I had no sense of direction in the bush. WeIl, any damn fool can get lost in the bush, and thousands do every year. That proves nothing. *He said I didn't know how to chop wood. So what? I didn't hire on as a wood-chopper. lie said I fell in the lake every time we ciimbed into the skiff to cross the bight to the lsland. Some of those pansies along were afraid to get their feet wet, just be- cause it was November. And he suggested that I put 3.55 rifle shelis in John Desjardins 32 rifle. That's a lie. It was Teemy Wright'a 30.30. But It's incredibie how feeble his memory has become (possibly gout-in- duced) about the important things. He didn't mention that he neyer once fired bis gun at a moving target. lie shot at a tree once and very nearly hit it. But I actuaIly fired twice at a deer, about 40 seconds after he had disappeared into the cedars. I think it was a deer. It has not seeped back into his consciousness how I solved the foocj problem. We were stormbound for four extra days on a desert island. The others, eating like hogs, wanted to cook that last roast of beef. But I was ini charge of food rationing. When I f in- ally decided to unwrap it, it turned out to be f ive pounds of cheese rather than beef, but nobody starved. Some of us have foresight; some hindsight. And he's cornpietely forgotten that trip home from the island, after ten days of 40-mile-an-hour wind -and snow. "My wife'il kîli me," was the plaintive whimper. 1 knew it was. too late for that. I knew mine would boil me in oi]. But at their urging, these mianly hunters, we took off into the pitch- dark, in a snowstorm, i2-foot waves, a leaking boat, f ive deer on the top deck, and the eiectric ptimp on the bummer. They lay in their bunks, green and groaning, while the old fighter-pilot, the weIl-driller and the niddle-aged guide saved their skins. No sense of direction indeed.' You should have seen me steering through that black snowstorm, while John got up ofl the pee-deck (no poop-deck on this boat) to take a look into the noth- ing, and Teemy nianned the pumps. I don't mind hirn, gout-oppressed, trving to boister his ego. But I resent it when he shows no gratitude for the people who savedi his if e. (Frorn The Cobourg Sentinel-Star) A new post office came to Ponty- pool, Durham County, this month. Il was erected in ahl its fabulous brick decor beside a lowly Pontypool privy. The privy is attached to the Ponty- pool Public School building which was abandoned last year for a niew central school five miles fromn the village. The new post office in Pontypool is up-to-the-minute bilingually with "Bureau De Poste" displayed below the English words. The con trast is startling. For many years the post office was housed in a frame building down the street. The structure seemed adequate for the 81 box holders and in keeping with the local architecture.

The man said that when bis grand- father labored bard and saved bis pen- nies ta go to college, he did flot ask any favors of anyone and sought not to have the rules changed in bis favor. In bis day there was no beip frorn out- side, although there was some private beip from certain places when he need- ed it most. The ruies were made by the univecsity authorities and no one thought of anybody's right ta inter- fere with theni, let aione ta run the university. This man's information, which goes back to Trinity College, Dublin, was that in those days it was a pr'ivilege for students ta be in college and ta learn. Any lack aI discipline on the part of the students was nat tb be tolerated for one moment. University presidents, vice-presidents, chancellors, boards af governors and other such did not ex- pect to be mobbed, derîded, scorned, flauted or shot at oraily or with bullets. If* anyone didn't like the way the school was run, he could qtay away from school, if he was a14 enough.

Entrance int a college did not automnatically qualify any person for a student boan, nor was there travel to Europe on the proceeds of a student loan. Even today student loans, honestly obtained, are supposed ta help a student ta get tbrough school. Il would be interesting ta knaw how many students, with or wîthout boans frorn the government, are really students. Will mast of themn drap out on their studies and drop out on their boans ? Can a red convertible student loan help a persan become a student ? Is there any effort in the universities, bhe colleges and other schools ta estab- lish a systern of discipline? Are uni- versity authorities fearful politically, morally or physically ta enforce the discipline that rnight reasonably be ex- pected by the people who provide the schools, the schooling, the taxes ? The main, perhaps the only, point of criticism caming from students that is valid is critîcism af the people who, teach thern or lecture tn themn.
