Edtor v Standing Tail One. of the greater accomplishments in Canada of recent years lias to be the patriation of the Constitu- tion over the wee k-end in Ottawa. It could be nothing more than electrifying with the Queen and the Prime Minister of Canada signing the final document putting Canadians in the position of being masters in their own house after some 115 years. SCanadians can now stand tail in their own nation and with guaranteed constitutional riglits. Sureiy most Canadians took the timne to watch the ceremonies over television and even seasoned reporters report a strong emotional feeling arising during the ceremony which could flot be detoured by a downpour of ramn. In, speaking Witli Diane, Hamre, who with lier family left Orono Saturday morning at 5:00 a.m. to be part of the activities on the iawns at capital hili, Ottawa, said it wus a most moving experience and one of whiicli lier whole family are now glad tliey did not miss. She spoke of the emotion and the tears that poured down everyone's face with the signing of 0 Canada following the signing of the document by the Queen and the Prime Minister. Although there was a lot of haggiing and aithougli the constitution may be determined flot perfect ià las brouglit Canada to a position that ail Canadians can now stand tali. Tommy Douglas in an interview paid higli tribute to Prime Minister Trudeau who through his determina- tion and dedîcation to patriation of the constitution lias been the driving force for the accomplishments which were completed on Sunday. Yes there were others and one could certainly makenoble mention of Chretien and those primniers who initialiy lield out against the tide of opposition. The future lies in the hands of Canadians and- may they well protect the riglit and the heritage they have been given. A right to be lield dear and sacred. Canadians do owe a lot to this country and may tliey in the future be prepared to return that delit on to future generations of people living across this great ex- panse from sea to sea. HYDRO PLANTING TREES THIS YEAR' According to Jim Tedford of the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority the proposai for Ontario Hydro to plant some 75,000l trees in the Town of Newcastle will be un- taken this spring on Authority proprty in the north-east sector. of the Town. The propertiy has become known as the Parker property and lies north of the eighth line of Clarke Township. The property will also be used by the Kendal HuIs Gamne Farmn Dog Trails followîng approval of this use by the executive of the Authority. Over the past year the Dog Trails group and the Authority and Ministry of Natural Resources have been negotiating this use with the club opposing the comn- plete foresting of the property. During 1982 the club must ask the Ganaraska for per- mission for each event and mnust flot uise cars, trucks or motor- cycles on the course. The Authority also refused removal of a fence separating Authority property with that, of a prîvate land owner in the area. The Dog club has used the area for a number of years to run their dogs which -use was setup during the time Parker owned the property.

" When a group of chiidren were asked to name a symbol of Easter. They answered the Easter Bunny. We have a lot of Christmas symbols like Christmas tree liglits, tinsel, etc. A poppy that we wear symbolizes a war hero. A symbol reaches beyond. After the Easter the "Hosan- nas" and the "Hailltelujahs" are past but the greatest sym- bol is the cross. It reaches beyond itself, It remîinds us of the crueityv of man. The cross stili stands "Towering o'er the wrecks of time." The Group Home by-Iaw repeal (Continued from page 1)' soicitor for an opinion on the matter. Edwvards did say that thie Children's Aid did have somne concern over the report and the repeal of the by-law and had asked that the matter be tabled.

It began with the Queen and Prince Philip coming in the Royal Coach to the Parliament. After they were seated, the choir sang "0 God our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come." That was a good beginning but there was no prayer for God's guidance in the troubl- ed times ahead. The Bible says, "Where there is no vi- sion a people perish."1 Have we no poets in Canada to br- ing us a vision of the future of this great land? The Queen did lier part beautifully as always. History repeats itself. In the year 15,88 whefin Queen Elizabeth the first rul- ed England King Philip of Spain sent the Great Spanish Armada to conquer England. The big ships took shelter in a Frenchi harbour. Sir Francis *Drake's men lit little boats filled wîth tar. The wind blew themn into the harbour and the big Spanish ships had to corne out or be burned. They fled north to the North Sea where a great storm struck them and most of themn went clown. Today a Spanish speaking nation Argentine has cap- tured the Falkland Islands and placed and armny there. A British Armada is on its way there. When 1 was on the R.C.A.F. station at Defoe, Saskatchewan on the way' from dinner we passed airmen planting trees. "How,ý foolish," one girl said. "When the war is over th, will be a sheep pasture.-ý Another said, "When those trees are grown our sons will bc drilling liere for the next war." This is 38 years later wiil there be war again?
