Then there are always those television stations from across the border â€" the ones where you can actually see people drinking beer.

There is no alternate rapid transit route that can serve the large number of people that was possible with the Spadina route. The need of both rapid transit and expressways cannot be dismissed, they can only be postponed at exorbitant costs financially and in inconvenience to the majority of the people. The decision to stop the construction of the Spadina Expressway will go down in history as one of the greatest disasters to befall the people of Toronto. It is a fact of life that the automobile is here to stay and that people will use the automobile to get to downtown with or without the expressway. They will, however, have to continue to use Weston Road, Jane, Keele, Dufferin and Bathurst Streets and spill over into the residential streets in the daily scramble to get downtown _ and back. Pollution will not be diminished by the elimination of a fast direct route but will be increased by the congestion of stop and go traffic on streets that are incapable _ of â€" handling present volume. Letters to the editor Dear Sir, the past few years. The position of the Ontario government, as presented by the former Minister of Trade & Development, the Hon. Stanley Randall, was a complete dismissal of all the warnings with regard to the relentless takeâ€"over of the Canadian economy . by foreign, chiefly American, capital. The New Democratic Party was pressing the case most vigourously; and in the latter _ months of his premiership, John Robarts joined forces with Mr. Randall in dismissing the whole matter as a "phoney issue"‘. Interestingly _ enough, when the Conservative leadership race got unâ€" derway, every candidate, with varying emphasis, repudiated _ what _ had presumably â€" been _ the government position to which they had been comâ€" mitted as members of the cabinet. At least, the ‘new wave‘ of Conservative leadership, including Bill Davis, acknowledged that there is a problem and something must be done to protect Canada‘s economic independence. However, once Mr. Davis had assumed office, he didn‘t introduce any policies to deal The stage is set for a most interesting confrontation of conferences in Toronto, June 23â€"25, on the issue of its impact on Canada, and particularly, Ontario. First, a bit of background. The issue of economic nationalism has been one of growing public concern over Greatest disaster A conference on economic nationalism Ryime 70 eer myo Te ACr There is little doubt that the Cabinet was aware that its decision was against the best interests of the majority of the people of Metro. The decision was made in the best interest of the leaderâ€" ship of the Progressive Conservative Party. With a provincial election anâ€" ticipated this fall, it was expedient to protect the seats of three cabinet ministers whose ridings are in the area of the lower end of the Spadina Expressway. There appears to be yet The widening of present northâ€"south roads certainly is not the answer. There are only two alternatives â€" either another route will have to be found for an exâ€" pressway to serve the people of northâ€"west Metro or the Spadina route will be revived. The present cost of about 80 million dollars of the uncompleted Spadina Expressway is far from the true cost to the taxpayers. To this amount must be added the millions in interest charges, the millions in lost assessments already sufâ€" fered and the millions that are still being paid in in terest and lost assessments. The victory of the anti Spadina faction has caused this financial havoc and yet has guaranteed no less automobile _ traffic _ or pollution. Is this a victory? We in the New Democratic Party were greatly disturbed by this developâ€" ment. In our view it was a A few weeks ago Premier Davis called his conference on Economic Nationalism for June 23â€"25, to be an open invitation to a selected audience of the business, labour, educational and artistic community. But the lineâ€"up of speakers anâ€" nounced by Mr. Davis in dicated clearly that the conference was â€" being ‘loaded‘ in favour of the continentalist approach and against those who shared the growing concern about Canada‘s future. Even wellâ€" known Conservatives who accept that view, such as Eddie Goodman, were exâ€" cluded from any prominent place in the conference. from the federal cabinet and politics because the federal Report on foreign ownership, ference to have it discussed further.

He was given credit for bravery and guts. Mr. Davis had finally gained the What you didn‘t realize is that these things are not decided on logic, on facts, or by the democratic process.

The first evening of the conference will be devoted to the theme ‘"Foreign Control of Our Resources and Its Impact on the Economy‘". It will feature a debate between Eric Kierens who has just resigned from the Trudeau cabinet to arouse public opinion against federal Liberal policies in this connection, and James Laxer, one of the contestants for the federal NDP leadership, acknowledged as a wellâ€"informed Canadian on the resources question. Even more interesting, the keyâ€"note speaker on the final evening, June 25, will be Dr. Stephen Hymer, professor of economics at the New School of Social Research, New York City, a wellâ€"known expert on multiâ€"national corporations. Dr. Hymer is a Canadian who was a member of the Watkins Task Just because you need it, just because industries are dying, and traffic zigs and zags through residential streets in search of a conâ€" venient way downtown, or uptown.

We‘ll mail these letters to you â€" and we‘ll keep asking you to listen to the people of Toronto. Keep listening, as we the people who have already put money into this city, and into its future plans, into its experts, and backed them to the tune of $23,000,000, tell you that your decision was wrong. And if you listen some more, you might hear the sound of a future election going down the drain. Mr. Davis, listen to the people. And people â€" be heard. John H. Smith, Yorkminster Community Association. Among the many things to be considered during the convention will be practical information from the Holy Bible on how to cope with the problems of life, two fascinating Bible dramas, material to help one to get a clear understanding of the drug problem and how to view _ it, excellent inâ€" formation on the training of children, and other helpful information to improve family life. Over 16,000 are expected to attend at Montreal, prin cipally from Quebec and Ontario, but with a goodly number of delegates from The main address of the assembly to be delivered on Sunday _ afternoon â€" and particularly designed for the public is entitled: "When All Nations Collide, Head On, with God." Commenting on the theme ‘"Divine Name", Mr. Arthur Guest presiding minister of the Weston congregation of Jehovah‘s witnesses said, "It is in keeping with our belief that we are living at the time when God‘s kingdom will fulfill the Word of man‘s Creator, Jehovah, by destroying those who practice wickedness and then making this earth a paradise." Montreal‘s Blue Bonnets Raceway will be the site of a fiveâ€"day district assembly of Jehovah‘s witnesses, July 14 18, to be supported by local witnesses. It is one of eleven ‘"Divine Name" assemblies of the group to be held in Canada during July and August. Jesus loves me. This I see In the flowers that dance for me. And his love is like the sun, For it shines on everyone. In place of a sermon the minister wrote a series of poems. I have his permission to share them with you. The first one is a modern version of the wellâ€"known hymn "Jesus Loves Me", written especially for the children: Jesus loves me. This I know For the Bible tells me so. And I find love everywhere â€" Most of all in mother‘s care. The young people again led the singing. The younger children made their own contribution through song and dance, and by banging away in the appropriate spots with cymbals, triangles and an assortment of percussion instruments. and peace. The age range of the congregation covered a full are from babiesâ€" inarms to overâ€"eighties. The other serviceâ€"withâ€"aâ€"difference took place in the open air, in a pleasant grassy, treeâ€"encircled dell. It was the Sunday after Pentecost so the service was built around the three main gifts of the spirit, love, joy And likened it to tongues of fire, The third is about ‘"Peace": Because it swept them along What is Peace? And fired them up. Peace is not placidity: The peace of lassitude and apathy, Let us welcome the wind of God‘s Spirit Where nothing stirs and nothing moves Today! Lest motion should cause turbulence. Let us get fired up on the Windâ€"song of Love What is Peace? Now! Peare ie not nentrality The answer blows in the wind: The wind of God‘s Spirit. That wind of the Spirit of Love Blew in full force at Pentecost, They called it a rushing mighty wind, And likened it to tongues of fire, Because it swept them along And fired them up. The first was a service for Pentecost. Its theme was built around the idea of the Wind. Wind, as you know, is used frequently in the Bible as an image of the Holy Spirit. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about change in the Church at the conference level. Today I want to tell you about change in the Church at the congregational level. This change is not instantaneous. It has been developing over the past few years. It is not confined in any one congregation. It is happening, in one way or another, in all of them. But two recent services in a parâ€" ticular local congregation may be taken as typical. Of these two services, one was conducted in the Church building, the other took place in the open air. This theme was presented by some 35 young people. The main thrust of the message came through the spoken word. But these young people strongly reinforced the spoken message with their own kind of music, both instrumental and vocal. The result was a rare and enriching experience of the Holy Spirit for the whole congregation. After probing some searching universal and community questions the script ended with these words: Five day assembly The convention at Monâ€" treal will be held in two languages with French and English sessions running simultaneously at the same time in different sections of the Raceway. Sessions will Travellers should acquaint themselves with vaccination requirements and recomâ€" mendations of countries which they propose to visit by contacting their travel agent or transportation company. For reâ€"entry to Canada, the traveller will require a valid international many parts of Canada and the United States. Before leaving Canada you should make sure your passport is valid beyond the period of your trip. The Passport Office also strongly recommends that, before le a ving C a n a d a, arrangements be made for forwarding additional funds in case they are required. If you intend to work in the country being visited, a work permit should be obtained from the country prior to entry. Travel can be fun In addition to having a valid passport, you must be able to satisfy foreign authorities that you have sufficient funds for your stay, that you hold return or onward transportation tickets, and that you are in good health. A neat apâ€" pearance is also likely to facilitate entry to foreign countries. Travel abroad can be fun but these helpful hints from the Canadian Passport Office will help smooth the way: DON REED Rev. Reed is Minister of Westminster United Church in Weston. _ Shattered dreams These services were not solemn; they were joyful. They were not staid; they were exuberant. They were not conventional; they were extemporaneous. That does not mean to say they were not planned. They were very carefully planned. But they were planned in accordance with and appropriate to the times in which we live. They were celebration. They were rejoicings in the Holy Spirit and receivings of the Holy Spirit. Which is what worship is all about. What is Peace? Peace is the embattled heart Struggling to bind its rage In channels of joy and brotherhood Through the love that conquers all. What is Peace? Peace is not negation Peace comes through those who make peace; Who will accept and accommodate And take common action for the common good. What is Peace? Peace is not neutrality The peace of the craven soldier Who, fearing death, feigns death To find death within himself. What is Joy? Joy is a wellâ€"spring deep within Fed from the fountain of love. In its flood, sorrow and death are swallowed up And Imagination set free For rapturous creativity. What is Joy? Joy is not simply feeling good It does not come and go With the body‘s uncertain state. It does not begin and end With the powers of sight and sense. Jesus loves me. This I feel When in prayer at night I kneel. Then I know he‘s very near And He drives away my fear. Jesus loves me. This is true And I want to love him too. I can do it his own way Living love throughout each day. The second is on "Joy": What is joy? Joy is not just cheerfulness. It does not ebb and flow With the weather‘s fickle changes It does not flourish and fade Like the flower of a day. Jesus loves me. This I hear In the bird‘s song, sweet and clear In the whispering of the breeze Through the lovely lakeside trees. These conventions conâ€" tribute to the rapid growth of Jehovah‘s witnesses; for instance last year more than 164,000 were baptized as ordained ministers, one every three minutes. + If you are a Canadian citizen born abroad, or your parents were born abroad or were nationals of a foreign country, you are warned that you may be considered by the government of your birth or descent to be a national of that country although, by law of Canada, you are a Canadian citizen.
