CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER What inspires me most, of all Centennial plans and pro- jects, is the fresh enthusiastic approach of many individual Canadians to our 100th anni- versary of Confederation. At the Centennial Commis- sion we receive hundreds of letters from individuals or fa- milies, asking for no praise or assistance, merely telling us about their plans to celebrate the Centennial and offering genuine expressions of their own pride in being Canadians. It. is unfortunate that we cannot do much about the pes- simists -- the knockers and the moaners. In Canada they seem to get far too much publicity. I think we should try to turn our attention away from them as much as possible and join with those who have positive ideas about Canada's future & for that matter, the welfare of all mankind. It gives one a warm, happy feeling to think about the Gui- gnard family from Callandar, Ontario, for example, starting off on a world trip in a Model T Ford all decked out with Centennial crests and = flags. Their motivation was simply a desire to advertise Canada's Centennial. Mr. Guignard, who is travelling with his wife and daughter, says, "I spent six years fighting for Canada. Why not spend one year advertising it?" : We received a straightfor- ward announcement in a letter from J. Ward Loveys of Dor- val, Quebec, describing his plan to travel from 'coast to coast during this and next summer. This summer Mr, Loveys is motoring to Prince Rupert, B.C., sailing to Skagway, Alas- ka, then driving down the Alas- ka Highway and MacKenzie Highway south - east through the Yukon and Northwest Ter- ritories. Next summer he'll complete his Centennial trip with a tour of the Atlantic provinces. Then there are the two young Canadians, one a native, the other an immigrant, who together are crossing Canada on a- 20,000 mile back-roads trip and writing about their experiences, impressions and what they hear from other Canadians who are planning to celebrate Centennial, One is Paul Page, 26, a for ester and painter who was born in Orillia and lives in Toronto. The other is Marc Chaumard, 27, who wos born in Algeria and has been living in Montreal and Toronto since coming to Canada three years ago. They first discussed the idea of a Centennial trip in Toronto where Paul, a graduate of the Ontario College of Art, has an art studio and where Marc has been working as a French in- structor. They started out with a car and a tent and up to mid- summer, have covered New- foundland, P.E.I., Nova Scotia and most of New Brunswick.

What pleases me most of all, of course, is that they are stir- ring interest in the Centennial among all the people they meet, Without prodding by govern- ment agencies and without subsidies, many Canadians are making a great contribution to the Centennial celebrations al- ready. It is their kind of en- thusiasm that will make 1967 a success. It is people like 'them who will make the future of Confederation a success too..
