Mr. Jim Gibson claims to have seen a monkey in the swamp near his home. This is within the range of possibility since not all the monkeys were recaptured by the cir- cus owner whose truck upset here.

One of the committee journalist Chaput-Rolland, Quebec representative on the Task Force said '"To me its a complete failure'"'. Not only that but she concluded that the -hearings across Canada "convinced her that "the federal language policy is divisive!" Instead of uniting the people of Canada it is divid- ing them into two camps. English speaking Canadians have been driven out of Quebec including many eth- nic groups including the Italian community. Quebec City, once 37 per cent anglo- phone is now just 3 per cent English speaking.

As 'long ago as 1973 the Treasury Board reported that bilingualization was "artificial" and horrendous- ly wasteful. Prime Minister Trudeau buried that still confidential report while pouring billions more of we the taxpayers money into his personal "P.E.T." plan for more and more French, knowing full well that Lan- Senior citizens by Marion King Our Senior Citizens held a pot-luck supper and Pro- gramme on October 18 at 5:30 with about one hundred in attendance. After supper Roy Grierson welcomed: 'Fern and Sandy Williamson, Velma Stainton and Albert Terry who were to be mar- ried Saturday, Novemver 21. Mildred Thompson had made a lovely cake in their honour and Marion King read a little poem after which Roy presented them each with an envelope of money. Each man made a suitable reply. Our Senior Citizen's Choir with Win Philp directing sang two numbers. Del Bentley recited 'The Crema- tion of Sam McGee' which we thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. Butt and Mrs. McCombe put on a real good skit which was really comical. The Old barber was sure back in style. We played cards after which we had a cup of tea and squares. : On October 25 at 2 o'clock we had our regular meeting with a very large attendance and four new members. We opened the meeting with O Canada with Alita Leask at the piano. The minutes were read and adopted. We had several committee reports and bus trips were men- tioned. Concordia Pops Orchestra will be present Sunday November 5. Ladies please bring squares to serve with tea. Group leadérs to be in charge of lunch. The Stouffville Kitchen Band with Mrs. Pearce as Mistress of Ceremonies put on a real good programme with original instruments to say the least. Roy thanked them for coming and a lovely lunch of cherry bread, cheese and Mildred Thomp- son's cake was served and a lovely social time enjoyed. mY VIS Et des IRIAN T'e¥ he r ao xr. \ ++ 4 FINEST RYE RAR RE ER TN © Ashiya nA AY Ny . nis av Net Sl = a RES guage Training was never recommended by the B and B Commission! More than 40,000 civil - servants were given free language training - the top level mandarins sent off to the south of France for a holiday for 6 weeks at the public expense. The esti- mated cost in 1975 was $1,000 Million. Costs since have been placed at $1! Billion a year, enough to build 75,000 housing units for needy fami- lies each year, creating thou- sands upon thousands of much needed jobs. Apart from the painful waste in dollars and time it has caused great division jn areas where there was none before. We have a Quebec that is virtually solid French speaking and other pro- WET YONI guistic ground. In New Brunswick - the only bilin- gual province - among the "Acadians is a growing move- ment for the creation of a new Acadian province, separate from the English speaking part. Finally, what I have been saying for years -- Trudeau's language policies are most divisive and grossly wasteful of the taxpayers money, have been confirmed. The recent defeat of his candi- dates in the by-elections and the wipe out of the party i# Saskatchewan bear out my statements. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink! Dean J.

And the second part of his message was also right: the Royal Canadian Legion must look to the young people of today, men-and women, if it is going to survive. Mr. Rittersporn mentioned certain values such as service, loyalty and remembrance; values which are admirable in all Canadians, young or old, Legion members or not - values which seem to be passing out of fashion these days. And yet, the Legion seems the least likely of any organization that would attract new and young members into its rafiks. It is a fact of life that despite all the positive community work the Legion carries on, the image that it carries for the vast majority of people under 30 is a negative one. What Mr. Rittersporn did not mention in his address to vets on Saturday night is how the Legion should go about attracting new young members who will carry on the organization and its tradition. Maybe that's the question that needs to be answered, and soon. oo plan op [ap [an [an [ap [an an [ae [apn [aps [apn [og [og Tce [apn [ayn [an [ag [opm Fm | « ICCC!
