obstacle to the secessionists of
Quebec.
Second, our French-Canadian
friends, bomb-planting to the
contrary, simply are not Wild-
eyed Latins, forever cherishing
cobblestones to hurl at auth-
ority. They are a little more
volatile than our British ele-
ments, perhaps, but don't for-
get that they're descended from
the shrewd, tough, logical,
phlegmatic folk of northern
France, for the most part.
They are practically stoics
compared to some of the exotic
strains in our population. The
Irish, for example.
Third, they already have as
much independence as they can
possibly use. Don't tell me that
a fellow in Riviere du Loup, for
example, has any less freedom
than I have. Especially if he's
married. And I'll never forget
a Canadienne I took out in
Montreal one night. Boy, was
she independent!
Fourth, the people of Quebec,
should they pull out of confed-
eration, would have to give up
one of their primary pleasures
in life: blaming everything from
the last two wars to the low
pensions on the sacred Anglais.

As for my other_opinion, that
the twentieth century belongs
to Canada, this too is based on
a bedrock of hope, not a lot of
silly facts and figures. The
main redson for my hope is that
the twentieth century is becom-
ing more and more expensive.
Pretty soon, nobody will want
it, at any price. But Canadians
will buy anything, if the down
payment is low enough.
Leaving you with these com-
forting predictions, I wish you

There are a nUmber of good
reasons for my opinions. They
are not just a lot of off-the-
cuff ideas based on a pile of
statistical evidence. NoSsir,
they have a solid base of pure
emotion and prejudice.
First of all, our politicians,
while comparatively green com-
pared to those older nations,
'are internationally recognized
as Masters Of compromise.
Canada, as a nation, has a
reputation for horse-trading',
She is not one to let any foolish
ideals stand in the Way of an
honest buck. And this, I fear,
will present the greatest
Dorriinion Day is on the way;
Let's have a celebration.
It may be our last chance ,they
say,
To mark it as a nation.
Yep, according to the gloom-
pots, this may be our last op-
portunity to celebrate with our
customary fervour that glorious
national holiday revered by all
Canadians: The' First of July.
Such eminent hysterians as
Pierre Berton are sounding the
tocsin, raising the storm sig-
nals and making like. Casandra.
Quebec, they sob, is gonna pull
outa the confederation. All will
be lost. Canada will become a
banana republic.
It is rather a paradox that
the groans of anguish emerge,
for the most part, from the
very people who devote a great
deal of time, and a vast num-
ber of words, towards convinc-
ing everybody that Canada is
already little, more than a
banana republic.
They are the people who
have unselfishly volunteered to
act as the conscience of this
country. They are the people
who blat endlessly that we are
the people who hang, with em-
barrassing obsequiousness, on
every word of every foreigner
who speaks of this country, its
habits and its people.
They are the people who, via
Dawson City or Glace Bay or
Hayfork Centre, descend upon
our cities and set themselves up
as arbiters of our taste, our
opinions. our morals, our man-
ners. Armed with incredible
gall and a facility with words,
they are happiest when they
are revealing their ineffable
scorn for Canadian custom,
cooking and culture.
A plague upon them all. In
the face of their insults and
insinuations, their sneers and
their Sniping, I remain a cool,
happy reactionary. I still be-
lieve that the twentieth cen-
tury belongs to Canada, even
with an 11 percent sales tax
on building materials. And fur-
thermore, I fearlessly predict
that Quebec will never leave
the confederation..

Mahe-Believe With Make-Up
Every little girl likes to be
an actress. A box of "play"
theatrical make-up collected by
mother offers a bright dream
world on a rainy day.
The box should include cold
cream, pancake make-up, eye-
brow pencil, and grease sticks
in white, blue, green, red and
black, Boys will love this game
too, if there is theatrical putty
to make silly noses and chins.
From Our Early Files 411
Although it may be considered
jumping to .4 hasty eenclusim, it would
appear that the recent meeting held into
informing area municipal officers of the.
value of -forming .a conservation Ruth-
ority for the BaYfield, River has fallen
on deaf ears.
T.Q. the best of our knowledge,' no
further discussion has been held on the
subject by any of the municipalities in
attendance and there would appear to
be little interest in forming such a
group.. ,
The unfortunate aspect of this topic
is not so much the fact that no group
has been formed, but rather that the
elected officials have not even had the
foresight to discuss the possibilities of
forming a conservation authority for
the watershed.
There can be no doubt as to the
value of conservation and it is indeed
unfortunate that our forefathers lacked
enough insight into the problems they
were creating with their often thought-
less clearing of timber land from our
rivers and streams.
However, thistloes not excuse those
in the present generation from taking
up the challenge to correct the situa-
tion without leaving future generations
to contend with the problems which we
are certainly aggrevating every day
with our poor conservation practices.
Those municipal officials in the
Bayfield watershed may point out that
our nearness to the recreation and fish-
ing facilities of Lake Huron would ex-
cuse us from developing and preserving
the . beauty spots, recreation -facilities
and fish and plant life in our own
stream.
However, ,conservation is a project
that depends upon the co-operation of
all those concerned and the good work
of many can be dealt a deadly blow by
even a very small minority who fail
The constant bickering and cries for
the resignation of Finance Minister
Walter Gordon over his recent budget
point up once again that the majority of
our elected representatives in Ottawa
are more concerned with personal greed
and "playing politics" than they are in
improving the well-being of our country.
This is not a charge that can be
levelled only against the present opposi-
tion in the House of Commons, as it
was also quite noticeable in the last
sitting when many in the present gov-
ernment were on the other side of the
House.
Unfortunately this smacks of child-
ish "tit for tat" and is certainly not
the type of attitude that should be held
by those who have been given the trust
and important task of running the coun-
try's business by their fellow Canadians.
It ' could perhaps be termed "un-
usual" that Mr. Gordon sought the
advice of three special assistants outside
the regular civil service advisory staff
available, but this is no reason to sug-
gest that it is "irregular" as members
of the opposition are debating.
Commenting on the situation, the
Financial Post states: "It is shortsighted
and contemptible to smear government
advisors and to assume that they are
guilty of wrongdoing. Most certainly
there are specialists among our citizenry
who can be trusted with budget secrets;
men who have just as much personal
probity as any full-time civil servant—
and many civil servants are also privy
to budget secrets."
"What politicians may not recog-
nize is that the ethical standard in busi-
ness is so much higher than it is in
many areas of politics. The businessman
who goes slippery , soon finds others
don't do business with him. Members
of the financial community are above
all professionals in secret-keeping. They
have to be or they get no business,"

to accept their rosponsibilities.
While Lake Huron has managed to
escape the wide-scale pollution that is
plaguing many lakes• and rivers, it will,
not always enjoy its present status as
long as those who live along its contri-
buting streams continue to allow soil,
sewerage and other forms of pollution
to flow into it.
If area officials do not feel war-
ranted in preserving the many benefits
of the Bayfield River for future genera-
tions they surely must have enough
foresight to take the appropriate steps
to ensure that as a contributing stream
to Lake Huron we are not responsible
for undoing the important and often
costly work that other conservation
authorities are doing in an effort to
protect the lake from pollution,
As residents who can so easily
enjoy the benefits of such a beautiful
lake, it is almost hypocrisy that we
should sit _on the golden sands and
enjoy the cooling waters and at the same
time knowingly add each day to its pol-
lution that will, as surely as night fol-
lows day, spoil it for future generations.
The governing officials of the muni-
cipalities in the watershed should not
be expected to do. the work in operating
a conservation authority, but it does
fall as their responsibility to take the
appropriate steps to form such a group.
The sooner this is done the better,
because every day we delay the ravages
of uncontrolled nature and our own in-
consideration puts us in a much more
precarious position and may even leave
us in a place where we will be too late.
A very sobering thought!
As we suggested before, each of
the municipalities should put this on
their agenda as soon as possible and
institute the necessary action to pro-
tect the heritage with which we have
been entrusted to both enjoy and pro-
tect.
"So deep is the penetration of
modern government into all aspects of
our lives, and so complex the effect of
government policy on economic pro-
gress, that the 'advice of the objective
professional is wholly to be welcomed.
To charge that this is somehow improp-
er is to display a discouraging distrust
of brainpower and a contemptibly low
view of the character of scholars."
While the editorial writers of a
financial paper may be considered
biased in their opinions in regard to the
worth of seeking the advice of others
in their field in preparing a budget, the
comments are certainly worth consider-
ing.
Perhaps the problem is that our
politicians at Ottawa have sunk so deep-
ly into the rut of trying to find fault
with each other that they have reach-
ed a point where they can not discern
between those aspects of their business
that are worthy of debate and criticism
and those that should be backed whole-
heartedly for the well-being and growth
of this country.
Argument for the sake of argument
can be excused periodically in the fact
that it stimulates men's minds, but
when it becomes the underlying theme
in all discussions it thwarts progressive
thinking and action and is hardly
worthy of our elected officials.
With moral scandals rocking Eng-
land and racial riots disgracing the
United States, Canada's leaders should
be able to see that an avenue is open
for them to improve their standing
among the nations of the world with
concrete and important leadership, but
as yet they have failed to see this
opportunity to bolster the idea of
democracy and freedom to the world
and the Communist leaders must surely
be chuckling to themselves as the world
looks on at the situations of their
"enemies".

Could Be Termed Hypocrisy.
By the time this column
reaches your home or within a
few clays of that time, all the
children will be starting the
wonderful summer vacation
season. For a few days, at the
most one week, they will prob-
ably find lots to do to occupy
their time. Then the vacation
thrill will wear off. Days will
begin to drag. Every mother
knows the symptoms of the old
familiar kids-under-foot dis-
ease and the complaint, "But
there's nothing do do !!"
Before you start to tear your
hair out, I would like to pass
along a few suggestions. A
medicine to cure this disease.
Your kids will love some of
these ideas and I would sug-
gest you keep them in mind
for those difficult times ahead.
Garden in a Saucer
Winter's old Flying Saucer
is filled with dirt. Greenery in
the form of a small branch
from a •bush; a few flowers
from the garden; moss from
woods; a frond or two of ferns,
are transplanted into the mud.
Streets can be laid out with
pebbles, houses built from
blocks. Toy animals add inter-
est too. The variety is as limit-
less as the ,child's imagination
and the layout can be changed
any day during the summer.
Dream House
Cutouts are fun for girls, but
boys also will enjoy joining in
this project if told to paste up
a space station.
Sketch a paper house—or a
satellite—on a large piece of
paper or wall board and pin it
to the wall. Mark in the rooms
beforehand, as though the house
were cut in half to expose
each room. Your children then
fill in people and objects cut
from old magazines. Don't be
afraid if you find lions in the
basement, though.
Sculpture that Floats
Soap is relatively inexpen-
sive, and kids love to find more
pleasant uses for it than wash-
ing. Soft bars are an excellent
medium for easy carving. Ships,
made from floating soap and
equipped with paper sails, can
be sent on exciting cruises
across bathtubs or wading
pools, Boys also like to carve
cars, houses, complete with TV
antennas made from tooth-
picks.
Wonders From Junk
Odds and ends have great
possibilities, Most of us could
pick up a carton box full of un-
Used things around the house.
Tell your child to pick five
item from a "junk drawer"
and glue them together to
create an animal. After the
creature is finished, use some
poster paint on it and have
dad try to figure out what went
into it.
Paper Bag Monsters
Keep a few large-size paper
bags on hand and some time
set the children to mask-mak-
ing. This starts with 2 eyeholes;
Children add paper - funnel
hoses, paper-cup ears, perhaps
grocery tabs for curls of hair,
patches of coloured paper for
cheeks, You will probably be
able to suggest lots of gim-
micks for these.
Facial tissue twisted into
flowers can adorn lady dragons.
Male monsters look fearsome
when decorated with fallen
leaves, old wire paper Clips,
nuts and bolts. The neighbours
will enjoy the "Boo" trip when
the masks are finished and the
kids make a tour of the houseS.
