L.ICKNOW • $RNTI1IEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO p Hetheriiton NamedArbitratorinr` Huron County public School Dispute •GODERICH,,- With "prelimin7 try approval" already given by . Stanley council to a $69.$,,622 tender for construction of aTuck- ersmith-Stanley central', school in the Kippen:area, Huron County Council sent to arbitration a pet- . iton of certain Tuckersmith rate- payers who favor. Egmond'ville,; Harpurhey and the northeast sect- ion of Tuci ersmith forming a union school in Seaforth. Judge R.S.Hetherington was named arbitrator in a report of the public school consultative comiittee. ."Since the committee is aware, 'of'the fact that any delay w111 cause concern to the trustees of ' 'Huron County School. Area No.1," the report stated, "it is requested. that a decision be reached on or before April '12, " ' The consultative committee cornpr. f ses Reeve Carl Dalton, Sea - forth; 'Reeve Wilmer Hardy., Col- borne, and deputy reeve Everett ' McIlwain, •Goderich Township. In company .with Inspector. "James Kin- kead ," in-kead,: they had wrestled with the„ matter` on two days before county council meeting. Reeve Hardy: told council ":Until• the. question is Settled, the departments of educ- ation and municipal affairs will' not grant;Rpermission to build.", "Thereisonly one. way to 'hand- le this, declared. Reeve Clarence Boyle; Exeter. "We are going to. - 'have to have a board of education in the county. The sooner. council members get ddwn tothinking in broad terms, the sooner they. will ;. 1887111887 Report No. 1 Wlien I took over the job of. organizing Canada's biggest cele-' ' bration in history . I ran into • a number of, pessimists; even a few cynics. This is the: sort of Ifne. they gave me: "Canadians aren't-noity patriots.' You'll have a. tough job stirring up much flag waving for . 1967.." . Well,some of their facts were correct but . 'the . spirit in which those few. pessimists presented their views to me Was 'not. what I accept 'as Canadian. , I have tra- velled long . and far enough' in. this country to know . that Cana-' dian3'. really have ` strong positive feelings about their country. I could agree with some of the statements by my pessimistic friends if they were in a different context. Canadians are not given, to wild demonstrations of patriot- ism in their .own country. Such things'can embarrass us. I believe our kind! of nationalism is more • thoughtful than emotional and that is why I believe so fervently that our Centennial will be a suc- cessful and meaningful event in our 'history. Yes we may have difficulty at • 'times in deciding what weare, what we are for and what we are against in .the. world. But we know what home is and . though wemay be embarrassed to express it, we love Our land,` Perhaps I discov- ered". this through travel abroad whe",h I met Canadians far from home. When we areworld travel- ling we are 'more. apt to open up and.. reveal to' other people our in - tier thoughts about our country.' One, particular ' instance' • comes to my mind. I was breakfasting at a small hotel in London, England, few years ago and became en- • • byJOHN'W. FISHER CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER - gaged in 'conversation with a , young man_ across the ti table from me.; He was a Canadian worinng at an : airline office, in , London.., With no prodding • • f roni me . he poured out all his thoughts about home and about Canada.- :' • • "I'm not , a nationalist," he said. "In fact ' I'm .against nation- alism. ation-alism.. It causes a lot of trouble in the world._ ' • That's why 1, like , my country.. We're not aggressive nationalists. But' really, mister," he said, '"it's hard to describe my feelings about . 'my country.", , He thought his feeling.for his home- land was not just the house he was. born in back in Ontario, nor was it 'necessarily` his home town. 'It was the' lake country . where he used to go on canoe trips in the • summer, the big 'rushing rivers and the roads that go forever:. • "1 always 'felt if I couldi't. find a job in Canada 1 could al- ways go to the north country and trap and.' hunt -- something one couldn't do over here; -and• at least make a . living," he said, He' admitted it •• was just a "fancy of the mind" --probably he'd starve -- but Canada 'always gave • him a feeling of security, he said. "I -always felt that the Eocicies or the Gaspe wildernesses •were mine, even though I didn't go there every Weekend: (I only saw the Rockies once,) • • The, young man went on, ex- posing his mind and being very sentinriental and patriotic. I thought to myself he probably would b•9 far too inhibited and embarrassed to talk like that back home. From now to 1967 Canadians, as individuals and in groups, large • arid small, are finding ways to • ex- press their true. feelings about Canada. ' Pll tell you more about these in future report. • have all'such questions' resolved. "Some members,"' said, Reeve. Hardy, "appear to' think the collo). ittee. has 'pulled the rug from under their feet but we have had it _ rough 'and. heavy. This, is a, great in j ustice to the children, and those townships which already have the property and have spent a large amount. No matter who wins it is going to cost Tuckersmith: a great deal. Even the minority has rights and the judgment of the arbitrator is not final; it may go to a court case. ,This is only a. delaying action,, which May be. fought over again .next November.. In coming to the decision to app.- oint Judge Hetherington as 'arbitr- ator I feel it is the quickest way to settle this. "If a petition isnot acted.'.upon by (the local) council," said Mr. , Mcllwain; "a petition is sent to county council, which has power to appoint an arbitrator. With'the propaganda going on, it would.be a problem to get anyone unbiassed: 'Reeve Talbot, Stanley: "I should dike' tosay forpublication we have not , approved the debentures yet, . only preliminary approval." Warden. Stewart: "We realized we had.to bring in some report today.' This looked like a solution•that would be carried'. In letting a'' contract for the school there is a time factor, .and tenders might have .to be withdrawn, and the school board. or Stanley : would lose. a lot of money."': lvir: Berry saidhe would notify Judge Hetherington first thing Mon- day, "'and he can set up his own investigation."
