"'another holiday" for . many, so: it would
seem , is the trend toward July :1 st.—. our
nation's birthday,''
Locally, year in in and. year out, July
1 st passes • without' :fanfare : of any kind and.
even flags are. conspicuous ,by their ,absence.
It -is little wonder that the rising genera-
tions scarcely know the nation41 meaning

her place . with the; other nations of 'the
world and her ascendency' without• 'moti-
vation for power ` or exploitation ' has won'
her respect and :admiration.
Canada's' love of ' peace, ` her concern
for the ': orld and ;its people, and her'",'wil-

benevolent' nation.
We have good reason. to celebrate our ,:
birthday. Let us give it more': thought in'
the future.
