A stronger backbone is required to lift this nation where it belongs, a leading country a-mong the peoples of the world. Everyone dreams of Utopia, but the wishbone will never achieve it. The backbone may. So 'straighten the backbone' and 'put your back into it' are slogans well worth practising. They could help us re-vitalize the spirit that laid the foundation of this nation. The Scots - Whc are they? Jam .is landed in Ireland with the hope of raising Irishmen to join with the Scots and drive out William but William's supporters (Who now had the complete control of the king and of the Government) were too cunning for James. Let us look at Ireland now. Cromwell to raise funds, had invaded that unfortunate country,sacked Drogheda and sold off the people, Catholic and Protestant alike, as slaves to the American plantations where they turned out to be extremely unsatisfactory slaves, always eager to point out that the white slave-owners were just men trying to bully black men and making a poor job of it. The slaw owners were glad to get rid of the white slaves indeed it was said that in many cases, they paid them to go away and not come back, but have you ever thought what a mighty influence these men had om the American State? How many Irish and Scotsmen had a hand in shaping the destiny o* the U.S.A?

An attempt to set up homes for disturbed children elsewhere created a furore which may severely impair the effort. A projected old folks home in another suburban community was torpedoed by local , home owners, Is there some divine . right that comes with own ing a house and a plot of land, that permits men to ope»ate lightening machines with Which to cast boilts at local politicians threatening defeat if they don't get their own way? The homeowner may self • righteously assert that he has nothing against the disturbed kids or criminals making an effort to rehabilitate -but- not on his street. This same person may read newspaper stories about the wall dividing Berlin and never realize that he is building his own Berlin wall right here. That wall, that invisible wall, is the o^n V/hich go-p* around settled suburban areas. On one side of the wall are +he nice, respectable people. On the other side - and the homeowners are determined to keep them all on the other side are the disturbed, the unwanted and the elderly. The idea behind having disturbed children in a settled suburban area is simply this: that through their association with normal children, they may be made aware of another life, a life of normalcy to which they may aspire and tlntegrate. It's a similar story with criminals in half way houses In the downtown areas where the nice people don't live, the man or woman trying to reform is exposed to an underworld element which will quickly exert to a gravitational pull towards the old life of crime AH of us will pay dearly for not integrating our misfits into society, The unclaimed prostitute will go on to other methods such as drug peddling The disturbed child, who remains disturbed, may crack into one of those nice respectable homes some day. It is evil to put any person old or disturbed into ghettos, even if they have invisible walls The United Church, of Canada
