ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8th, 1968 feAuthorized as Seýon.d Class mili, Post Office Depuainent, Oltawa) Published eveýry Thýýursday at the office el publicatior Main Streez, Plione 109, urono, Ontario Established in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester -- Ediftor and Manager EL,-ffeects Everyone Interest this week has been directed to Ottawa where Federal and Provincial Leaders have been in conference over the c onstitution of Canada and equality of rights. The outeomne of such a conference affects everyone in the nation as an individual as weli, as collectiveiy. Its import- ance cannot be overestimated. Finally specifics are coming to the front rather than general.statements and demands. This has given a grea1-ter understanding for the general public as well as givinig a basis for some minor accomplishments. At least three Provinces have made their intentions known to extend the French language in education giving citizens of Frenchi origin the same rights that English speaking citizens enjoy in Quebec. This is a, break- through and could stem agitation from the Frenchi quarters in Quebec to a degree. It is however only a beginning. In remembering that the Bi-Bi Committee has yet two more reports tomake to the Canadian Goverament, we can expect further pronouncements and demands. Looking into the future the victory of extending French language education is rather shallow if it is not carried beyond this point into industry and the field of commerce. What have we really accompished by giving equality of rights to the age eighteen if it is not carried beyond this era in a person's life. The next report by the Bi-Bi Committee is to include findings in industry and basing their outlook on their recent'report they must rec- ommend an extension of the French language into this field. The next few years will be most interesting and of great importance to Canada as a nation and Canadians as individuals. The pace, no doubt, will quicken and debate, demands, rebukes wiil bc a constant news item for our news media.
