The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 26, 1976 15 At Rotary BHS Student 'Reports On Canadian Studies Courtice Secondary School's Musicians Perform on "Music Night '76" According to Bowmanville High School student Don Childs, Vancouver is a nice place to visit but he wouldn't want to live there. He was speaking at Rotary on Thurs- day. Don was one of 250 delegates chosen from high schools across Canada to attend a forum on Canadian Studies held in the west coast city during the last week in April. Despite the beautiful scenery, Don learned that Vancouver has the highest suicide rate in the country and also has the greatest number of heroin addicts in Canada. In comparison, Bowmanville rates top marks. One 15-year-'old boy told Don that eight out of 10 of his friends smoked, drank and took dope. "It seems that the kids in Vancouver are being led astray," Don told the members of the Bowmanville Rotary Club last week. "I wouldn't want to bring up a family there." Aside from the less appeal- ing aspects of Vancouver life, Don appreciated the opportun- ity to take part in the conference because it broad- ened his educational horizons. Stanley Burke, a former CTV newscaster and author of the book "Frogs, Fables and Beaver Tales", led off the week's activities by attacking Canada's bilingual policy, which he described as phony and useless. I. Mr. Burke stated that the French and English have hated each other for 1,000 years, and thatFrancophones are not fooled by the govern- ment's language policy. Since our national identity has not crystallized, Mr. Burke is in favor of a decentralized Canada with greater emphasis on regional pride. Most of the delegates to the conference disagreed with Mr. Burke's opinion about the hatred between the French and English, but Don felt that he made some valid points, and supported the theory that a decentralized Canada was more honest. Following Mr. Burke's ad- dress, the students heard a panel discussion on multicul- turalism entitled "Melting Pot or Mosaic" presented by four speakers of various cultural backgrounds. Though some argued that multiculturalism was too expensive, the con- sensus seemed to be that our society should allow many sub-cultures to exist, with emphasis on the need for all Canadians to share the same political, social and economic values. The following day, the delegates heard several views about "Choices For The North." Mrs. Hilda Watson, a long- time resident of the Yukon, and the Minister of Education, Health and Welfare urged that On Thursday night at Bowmanville High School's their numbers.

He suggested that Imperial Oil's statistics may be unreliable, and that native claims and cultural heritages must be accommodated in the North. Mr. Kirkham claimed that the enormous project would drain Canadian capital for many years to come, and the effects would cause reper- cussions in the world market for Canada's economy by forcing the value of the dollar up. The result would price Canadian products out of range for foreign consump- tion. In the question period that. followed the panel discussion, Don reported that the students were overwhelmingly in favor of Mr. Kirkham's viewpoint, and expressed a violently anti- American sentiment. The rest of the week was devoted to a discussion about regional problems in Canada and several keynote address- es, including one by Van- couver South M.P. John Fraser, an unsuccessful can- didate in the recent Progres- sive Conservative leadership race. Though Don said that the week's activities helped him to formulate his own opinions, he didn't like the emotionally charged atmosphere that pre- vailed throughout the confer- ence. He found that prejudicial opinions generally took prece- dence over rational state- ments, and he was disillusion- ed by the fact that many of the delegates thought "more with their hearts than with their heads."

Raymond Wilkinson, man- ager of frontier development for Imperial Ol, and Barry Kirkham, representing the Committee for an Independent Canada, presented opinions that were diametrically op- posed, according to Don. Mr. Wilkinson emphasized the great need for a pipeline to the Mackenzie Delta by 1980 in order to make low cost gasoline available in the future. He claimed that the scheme would not cause any ecological setbacks, and that the entire venture would be a positive econonric advantage. Mr. Wilkinson stated that Imperial Oil's presence in the North would raise the stand- ard of living and encourage cultural pursuits. On the other hand, Mr. Kirkham tried to convince his audience that the gas reserves in the Mackenzie Delta were too small to warrant the massive expenditure needed Annette Taylor played Nightfall on the alto saxophone. fail to give a breath sample, and another charge of driving while disqualified was read out.
