THE COLBORNE CHRONICLE, Thursday, December 6th, 1962 HUMAN RIGHTS DAY decembft 10th, the 14th Anniversary Jofthe Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- we can note with some satisfaction, that in the past year our Province has taken another substantial step toward implementing its principles by the enactment of the Ontario Human Rights Code. By bringing together into a single statute all of the various human rights legislation passed since 1944, by enlarging the scope of the Ontario Human Rights Commission and by appointing a full-time Director with additional staff, we are now in a much better position to proceed with a greatly expanded educational program designed to make the aims of the Code better known and understood by our people. It is a matter for gratification too, that in the development of its program of education and enlightenment the Commission is receiving the active and wholehearted co-operation of our churches, schools, industry, trade unions, and a wide variety of community organizations. This is surely the best proof that our citizens,, individually and collectively, look upon our Human Rights Code as a reflection of the community conscience; that they are prepared to play their full part in applying its principles in their daily relationships, not just because the law requires it, but because truly enlightened social behaviour demands it. While we deplore and condemn violations of human rights elsewhere in the world and stand aghast before such ugly manifestations as the Berlin Wall, we must never cease to concern ourselves with those walls of prejudice which still exist in our own community--and sometimes in our own minds -- and which deny to our fellow citizens that justice and equality of opportunity which is their inalienable right. Justice, like charity, should begin at home. Let Human Rights Day be, among other things, a time for self examination in order to make certain that we are faithfully adhering to those lofty principles of the Universal Declaration on which the Parliament of Canada and the Legislature of Ontario have placed their seal.
