ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, TJ*URSDAY, APRIL llth, 1968 ORONO WEEKLY TIMES fAutharized as Second Class mail, Poet Office Department, PubOislied every Tliursday at the office of publicaioe Main Street,, Phone 109, urono, Onrario Established in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Editor and Manager ANew à,Ma1JilnNew Era To Challenge Canadians The party of Laurier and Mackenzie King lias be- corne the party of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, and for Canadian politics there lies the most exciting watershed of the cen~- tury. The majority given to Mr. Trudeau on the fourth ballot at the Liberal convention Saturday ushers in a new era of excitement in this country's affairs.< The choice of Mackenzie Kinag by Liberals in 1919 brought spectacular changes. It opened the way for the developmehnt of the welfare state. Yet f ew at the time re- alized the radical turn the country liad taken» Today, there is an immediate realization that a new era lias been launcli- ed.' There may be doubts, even apprehension, about the particular courses Mr. Trudeau will take but there is also a'r-i interest and anticipatio;n unparalleied in the past. Most of, ail frankness in political 'discussion lias em- erged. The new Liberal leader lias already sliown a dedi- cation to directness and an aversion ta dealihgin l generai- izations. This is certainly entirely new. At a time when Canadians have tired of indecision and double talk ipol- ities, the T'rudeau approach has a strong and refreshing ap- peal. The man and his style have captured the Canadian imnaginatio'n. t does not foilow that the actions lis gov-' ernment takes will also be welcomed with such warm ap- proval. However in his early interviews in his new role Mr. Trudeau lias shown a deep awareness of his awesome responsibiities. His wariness of the adulation thatlias been bestowed upoli hlm, for instance, Ws significant. Hie spoke out against the danger in sudh mass lysteria ini a manner foreigu to Canadian politics to date. In no way does lie cast himself lp the role of a messiah. Instead lielias aierted Canadians to the rigorous, times ahead. He lias called for toughýiess in approaching the problems of Canada's future and warned against timidity. His endeavor appears to be ta bring a new excellence ta things Canadia'n, an excellence Canada iilustrated I its Centennial Year that it is capable -of achieving. In bis words and actions, Mr. Trudeau lias indicated he will be lis own mn. He is neyer likely to represent himself as al things toail men. He'll have problems and lie'll have critics, But at the outset of lis career Pierre Elliott Trudeau represents botli catalyst and a chýallenge wý,hich can bring the very best from Canada. -The Osliawa Times, Interim Committee, The statemenat that the 'Interim Committee for the changeover of education in Durham and Northumberland lad actually dane nothing so far is not surprising. In many ways it can be cconsidered'tlie same type of Committee as the Consultative Committee whîch was set up followî'ng the placing of ail sclooi unif s into Township areas. Very few of these Committees warranted tlieir existance and we suspect that their formation was more political than really useful. Sucli committees give the impression that the cliangeover is really being laid îhi the hands of tlie local represe'ntatives. This, of course, is not so forleiato bauds everything down eut and dried. Further, there is no power given the Lterim Coin- mittee and tley are designed chiefly as a fact findîng in- strumient Any informnatiocin that can be obtained is now practically in the bauds of the area superintendents atid it is these? representatives that now lead the various comn- mnittees composing tlie nterim Committee. Action wiil no doubt rest in tlie main wvith the election of the new board. The existig individual scliool 1boards ean however do mucli ta make sure the cliangceover takes place witli a mainimnum of disruption.

Durh'am ,Lonservatives HoId Annual etn History will remember the lead- ershipî given by)ý Premier John Ro- barts lu solvinrg the problems of Canadian Confederation, Miister witliout Portfolio, Fernanid Guin- don, said Friday niglit at tlie Uni- ted Churcli hall in Maple Grove. Mr. Guindon Was addressing the anhual diniuer of the Durhiam County ProgressÎve-Conservative Association. Lashîng out strongly agai'nst the idea of separatism for Quebec, the minister outlined the Robarts stand as being for a single nation- ai ýeconomy gavenetand for national governmetit, and for more sensativity ta regional needs with frequent consultation between provincial and federal goverument. Lu addition lie stres- sed the fact that the guarantees of ianguage and other rîglits are inviolable and belong not to gov- ernments, but to people. The government of Quebec does not represeart Frenchi speaking Canadians in other provicees, Mr. Guindon said. Hie pointed out that the steps toward 'bilingualism taken lu On- tario by the Roabarts goverument were not as drastie as sometimes reported. The recognitio'n of the speaking of Frendch in the legisla- ture merely legaiizes a long-stand ing tradition. Mr. Guindon, Who represents Glengarry riding often addresses the legislature ln fre'nch for a few minutes. The challenge of Canadian Con- federation can be met by moder- ates on both sides, he said, and the Robarts goverument was tak- ing the lead. "'Most of the trouble ste ms from the inabiiity of the federal gov- ernmeat to corne to grips with the problem,"- the miniÎster said. Hie found ît unfortunate that the Pearson goverument lad beeù unwilling to participate lu the Confederatiýn of Tomorrow Con- fere'nce called by Premier Robarts There are 700,00 French-speak- iug people lu Ontario Mr. Guin- don said, land theý Robarts goveru- ment plans to provide education, for them lu fren~ch whérever their numbers make it practicai.
