Education Board Karinees The Future of Confederation was the most recent topic in the series of lectures on "Liberal Democracy in the Twentieth Century" sponsored by the Un- iversity Women's Club of Wes- ton. Five men were nominated for the four-man Public Utilities Commission at the Weston Town Council meeting Monday night. Weston people will vote for the four they want on December 7. Nominated were James W. Amos, Harry J. Foy, George A, Jeffs, William H. Loose and B Pollard. Dr. John Saywell, Dean of Arts and Sciences at York Un.. iversity, pointed out that to look into the future one must first look back to the past, to the reasons why Confederation was created. The purpose of Conied- eration was primarily to protect the regional and cultural loyal- ties of the country, which in 1867 was composed of four pro- vinces .. Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. There was at the time a strong sense of local and cultural unity in the individual regions, rather than the national unity which was yet to develop. The only doctor of the total of 22 nominations for public " fiee and the only woman were among the nominees for the six- member Weston Board of Edu- cation. Seven nominations for the Board of Education were recei- ved on Monday night. They are Howard G. Ashbourne, William E. Bayes, Dr. Ronald J. Christie, James F. Gilmour, Harvey D, Higgins, Mrs. Norma M. Lynes and Edward o. Schade. For some years following Con- federation there was a tendency to alternate between the powers of the federal and provincial governments. But during the Depression, with four provinces virtually bankrupt, it was found that there was a limit to what the provinces themselves could do. The federal government thus began to assume more and more, responsibilities until by the end of World War II a highly cen- tralized system was in effect. A natural reaction to this central- ization was the gradual emer- gence of strong proponents of provincialism, as evinced by Maurice Duplessis of Quebec and Leslie Frost of Ontario. There was a constant eotdliet on the national level between French and English interests, which culminated in 1942 in Prime Minister Mackenzie King's decision to call a national plebiscite on the subject of con- scription despite his previous Lectures 0n Democracy At Weston Women's thh The people of Weston will have a choice of three nominees for Mayor when they go to the polls December 7 to vote for the men they want to run the affairs of this town. At the Town Council meeting Monday night Carl W. Caskey withdrew his nomination for Council and declared he is in the running for Mayor, joining the two previously declared can- didates, C. W. Boddington and M. Lindsay Cott. The three nominations for Mayor were officially received at the meeting which drew a total of 22 nominations for pub.. lic office in Weston for the next at the meeting which drew a total of 22 nominations for pub.. lic office in Weston (or the next two-year term. Up for election this year - in addition to the Mayoral post - are seven no- minees for Council, five for the Public Utilities Commission and seven for the Board of Educa- tion. Before the packed-house meet. ing in the municipal building each nominee briefly outlined his history and platform for the coming term. First candidate for Mayor, C. W. Boddington, who regards total amalgamation with Metro as a retrograde step, has had "No Conscription" pledge to Quebec. This, according to Dr. Saywell, proved a denial of cul- tural equality by showing that when the majority are united the minority cannot fight them. The li'reneh-Canadians are a very self-conscious minority ob- sessed by the fear that they can- not survive. They want a greater share of responsibility and indi. vidual and cultural freedom. If all' these demands cannot be ao- commodated, Quebec's logical step is to get out. This, Dr. Say- well pointed out, is how separ- atism grew. There are two matters coming to a head in federal politics: on is the reconstruction of the fed- eral system which will tend to equate and decentralize federal powers. The other is an amend- ment to the Constitution allow- ing for a greater degree of flex- ibility in transferring responsi- bility from the federal to the provincial governments. What will the future bring in terms of the two cultures? Not true biculturalism, claims Dr. Saywell, but at least a right for all minorities to speak their own language. Here in Ontario we will have to learn to under- stand French, but not necessar- ily to speak it. We are going to have to accept the French-speak- ing minority as members of a separate culture, and not try to destroy this culture, as has been attempted in Manitoba and New Brunswick. 22 To Contest Seats At Local Polls Dec. 7 A lively discussion on the Constitution, the problems of separatism, and education for minority groups was ably i1at1d- led by Dr. Saywell during the question period. There will be a temporary recess in the lecture series at Central United Church until January 13, when the topic will be "Prospects for the Com- monwealth - a British View." C. w. Boddington two terms as councillor from 1961 to 1964. Heading the polls at the last election he had the opportunity as deputy mayor to sit in for Mayor George Bull and to chair the council meet- ings. Councillor Boddington headed the finance committee this past year and at a recent council meeting he reported that by the end of the year figures would show a surplus of $15,000 to $30,000 over the 1964 budget. A graduate from Weston Col- legiate, Mr. Boddington has lived all his life in Weston. He joined the R.C.A.F. in 1941, and went overseas. After 15 missions over Europe he was shot down over enemy territory and held as prisoner of war until 1945. Returning to Weston, Mr. Bod. dington entered the business field in Weston as manager of the Ontario Department of Transport Motor Vehicle Licence Branch. He also managed a Gem eral Insurance Business from 1946 to 1960.
