Stanfield, national Pro- gressive Conservative leader, has adopt- ed a child . in Brazil. He and his wife, Mary are sponsoring a nine-year-old girl, Maria Regina Silva. As foster parents, Jr. and Mrs. Stanfield will pay $1.6 a month. Maria's family will receive $8 of this in cash, plus warm clothing, dental and medical care and "other aid", according to a four-page publicity blurb issued by the Foster Parents' Plan. Such generosity by the new P.C. leader is commendable. Children in want should be helped wherever they are discovered. It is difficult to argue against Mr. Stanfield's action. Under the Foster Parents' Plan, a U.S. organization founded in 1937, it is possible to sponsor children in Greece, Hong Kong, Korea, The Philli- pines, Viet Nam, Columbia, Ecuador and Peru. Undoubtedly, in these countries there is great need. But there is no men- tion of Canada. There is great need here, too. Mr. Stanfield is not alone. Canada's - partial list of foster parents, printed on the Foster Parents' Plan letterhead, al- ready reads like a political Who's-Who: Lester Pearson, John Diefenbaker, Paul Martin, George Hees . . . And the U.S. list reads like a show-business 'Blue Book: Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, Art Linklettei-, Eve Arden . . . Perhaps the juxtaposition of Cana- dian politicians and U.S. show-business personalities has some significance. General George Vanier, the late gover- nor general, and Mrs. Vanier, both justly renowned for their sympathetic work with children — and far above the scramble for publicity — are missing from the list of Canadian foster parents. Foster Parents' Plan described the Stanfield-sponsored child's plight this way: "Maria is one of six children. They live, 'with their father and mother in a hut made of packed mud on the out- skirts of Niterbi, across the bay from Rio de Janeiro. All around them are similar shacks, The family has been struggling to survive on an income, equivalent to $9.25'a week, which the' father earns as a truck driver's helper . . ." • Change the locale to Canada. "Maria is one of six children. They live with their father and mother in a tarpaper shack on an Indian reserve not far from a typical Canadian town. All around them are similar shacks. The family has been struggling to survive on welfare payments, which the father earns through chronic unemploy- ment . • ." Slum children beg daily in the streets of every large Canadian city. A recent editorial printed in the Goderich Signal-Star supported French- English bilingualism and berated "petty Anglo-Saxon conceit" that allegedly prevented national acceptance of .two official languages. "As our once-big world shrinks into the McLuhanesque 'global village'," the editorial sums up, "we in Canada are in an excellent position to grow to meet the demands of that shrinkage." May it be suggested here that the "global village" exists only in the edi- torial writer's head — which is certainly no global metropolis. What difference does it make whether Canadians have one official language, or two languages, or nine? Of course, with just one language, the horde of translators now on the public payrolls would be redundant. Millions of tax dollars have al- ready been squandered by a handful EDITORIAL PAGE Some do it for extra spending money; most are hungry. . If a well-meaning Canadian took one of these children into a restaurant for a meal, he would be suspect. If he took the child home, even with parental consent, he would risk shrieks of pro- test from the two children's aid socie- ties. These societies, both Catholic and Protestant, are responsible for child welfare in Canada. Neither of them are federal government agencies in the sense that their employees are civil servants, although they are monstrous bureaucratic boondoggles.. They are private charitable organizations. Only religious differences separate them. Too often, these differences work to the detriment of their wards. At best, it takes six months of in- tensive investigation by children's aid workers before a Canadian family can reasonably expect to adopt a child. This seems incongruous when,the workers claim they are forced fo seridch'ildrem overseas because they cannot find Canadian homes for them. Surely, before fostering a foreign child, worthy though the' idea might be, Mr. Stanfield and his fellow politicians might offer their philan- thropy to Canadian waifs. An alternative would be to adver- tise for persons in overprivileged coun- tries, say West Germany or Scandinavia, willing to sponsor Canadian children who are underprivileged. of nitwits examining this question of bilingualism. What they came up with as a final answer was, basically, that some Canadians speak English, some speak French, and some (cheers) even speak both languages. It might be mentioned for the benefit of those public servants wishing to spend more money on the language problem that in Toronto, Canada's most populous city (2,000,000), ;about 250,- 000 persons speak Italian, 80,000 speak German, and 20,000 speak Greek. But if there is an argument pro or con two languages on official docu- ments as well as cereal boxes, an irritat- ed Signal-Star reader made this point: "In Canada„ the French fought the English and the French lost. If he (the editorial writer) can't follow this line of thinking, he should join the Brown- ies." Now, as Anglo-Saxon conceit, that is hardly petty! Martyrdom of Brebeuf and Lalemant, 1649. The Jesuit missionaries came to New France to establish schools and hospitals, ensure the spiritual development of the settlers and carry Christianity to the Indians. But only a fraction of the tribes lived at settlements on the St. ' Lawrence, so the Jesuits went out to seek the natives. The most famous mission was to the Huron villages in the stretch of land between Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay. Here the missionaires worked while the fiery Iroquois Planned genocide - the annihilation of the Hurons The Iroquois had been raiding the flotillas of Huron canoes on the way down the Ottawa to Montreal since about 1640.
