'These include draft dodgers and deserters from its, armed services. . They have aroused deep resentment in the U.S., to ,which some cannot return under present laws without risking SIT St. A segment of public opinion in Canada likewise believes we erred i admittfng them. Some' encounter prejudice and unfriendly,uttitudes. North American history however reveals that U.S. to, Canada Population movements for political reasons are nothing new. A. very influential element among Canada's 'inhabitants, the United Empire Loyalists, came here in one such movement. Again, in the nineteenth century, tensions that culminated in the American Civil War caused many south to north border crossings. These included escaping •Negro slaves, also draft dodgers who "skedadled" to avoid service in the Northern Army. • Even when, free to do so, few of the recent crop of immigrants evidence much desire to recross the border. As did their pre- decessors of the past two centuries, they seem more likely to become permanent Canadians. But no one knows what the future will bring.

JOAN ARMSTRONd CLERK. 114TTERclt0, THE EDITOR:' Question Arena Secd.:Absence.And Arena .Operation 7 Sir-' — We are often quick to take of- fense at. what we like toAJ-iink At'goVernrnent inefficiency andr A 'red tape. We 'feel safe in doing ' this because the governments we • take the crack at are relatively inaccessible. However, there are many cases of this wasteful, time consuming inefficiency' more close at hand, where we can reach it and can do -sornething-aboUtit;-- - At the present time there are two' committees, with the possib- ility of a third, all working at various .aspectsOf,the same con- cern, an arena bOani, , a recrea- tion commtttee, a swimming pool committee. 'What's wrong : • with this? 'On The surface, not too much, although it makes . some rather sithple things diffi- cult. For 'instance, the recrea- tion committee pays the arena board for' ice time 'used by the minor spOrts teams in the arena. This in itself is not particularly , disastrous, although we doubt if the village auditors appreciate it. It is serious ,4however, when these committees, who should be winking closely together, cannot . get something done that needs to be done, because either they, feel their own individual author-b ity is.being threatened 'or they just don't see the need. . One notable instance 4 seats for the 'arena; the latest word is 'that temporary ones will be in- stalled. .,Despite two years of haggling we ate now going Ito get I temporary seats?" Where should the blame be Laid for- this?. Who knows? The probahility is that it lies with '• one °rail of the three municipal councils or two committees of council with whom this tespon- t"° sibility has been placed. Another sore spot is the manage- , ment of the arena, Apparently the arena board ,feels that one person can adequately fulfill the required responsibility: If this is the case, why has' not one arena manager , in recent years. stayed for, a second season? Obviously something is wrong. The solution is just' about' as. obVious. ,One man can not possib- ly be onihand for the sixty or so ihOuts per week that 'the ice is in use plus looking after-Other respon- sibilities:that must be attended to when the arena is not in use. Thertefore more than one man is necessary. osiovvvvvvvol4AA•vvv. vAAAA•vvvvy4AAA•sio, CUSHIONFLOR AND' LINOLEUM DRAPERIES voila comsat soms:bsoomma am"; LOCKNOW, .ONTARIO AY . • WALLPAPER.
