It all began with. Mieszko, the Duke of Poland in the, year 966 j when, by his baptism, the Polish state accepted Christi- . anity. * ' .' One of Clinton citizens of - Polish descent, Frank Klosko- wicz, of 224 Townsend Street, made available to the News- Record, a speech by Chester Smith. B.Com., which he deiiv- < pred at the Millennium, dinner in London, Ont., on October 10 this year. The speech was printed in English in the Polish ’ semi­ weekly newspaper Zwiazkowiec, in the Saturday- October 15 is­ sue: This was the only English story- in the Polish language paper. ■ The story was in Mir. Smith’s' regular column, "Half and Half" and was .headed “Future of Our ■Heritage”. • * , . Mr. Smith compares Poland's 1000 years and Canada’s 100th anniversary < coming up next year, We reprint excerpts from’ the speech here, for all Can­ adians to consider and digest. “Much has been said about the accomplishments of the Po­ lish nation throughout these past 1000 years. “Since 966 and to this day, Poland has remained steadfast and true to the principals of Chrlfet despite the sinister and insidious opposition of an Athe­ istic government. The religious struggle that presently exists in Poland is known to you.' The , fact that ’ the Polish people still practice their religion, openly indicates the depth of their .Christian faith and their .love of God. “On many varied occasions, both large and small, before people of high position and those of more humble circum­ stances, acknowledgments have be'en given to the great accom­ plishment of Poland from the; year 966,, to this year, 1966. ''"In London this Social event marks the end of the celebrat­ ion, “The end of the celebration .. "In Poland,, the people will now begin the second Millen­ nium with a confidence inspired by the achievements of .the first 1000 years. "In Canada, we shall continue with our everyday living, try­ ing to find ourselves as a nation Jessie Stelck returned home from Windsor where she had been visiting her . brother George Foster Who is seriously ill in Grace Hospital* Mr. arid Mrs. Charles Reid, Douglas ahd Charlene spent the weekend in Flint, Mich., and On their return wore accompanied by JVtrs.

Rich though we are in material things, we still seem to lack that truly patriotic spirit, that real love of country, that gives' strength to ,the weak a.nd makes heroes out of cowards, ' . ■“Our Canadian lidentity is only beginning • to emerge. As young as we are, we cannot afford to ignore the experience of the Polish people of the past 1000 years. We cannot ignore the facts of 'their living and dy­ ing, fox- the, honour of their country, their glories and de­ feats, tlhelir achievements in the fields of literature and music. “To me it is somewhat of a tragedy that the benefits of 1000 years of a country’s ex- istance should be so casually pu''aside. We have heard much of the issue of bi-culturalism and bi-lingualism. Much has been said about the contribu­ tions made by the immigrants from England and France. “BUt we forget, ’that a sig­ nificant third ’group' exists in this country which has no' real connection with the English or French way of life. We forget that in this third group' are peoples from lands with refined Ways of living and great cul­ tural achievements. We falil to recognize that Canadians of English and French ancestry are not the only ones' -who ‘Wish to contribute to the evolution of a distinct Canadian culture. There are large numbers of people, immigrants from Europe who ■ can enrich, this country by giving to Canada the benefit of their,, evolution and development. “Surely the accomplishments and the suffering of tire Polish peoples during their Millennium could benefit Canada in the growth of its own culture. But no, 1000 years of experience may be shut out.. "Before Canada was discov­ ered, the only culture Was that of the Indians.t When the first French’explorers stepped on to these shores, they brought with them the French way of life. Canada received its first inject­ ion of . culture from France. Then came the English and thereafter the two people made their mark and i affected the future of this country. We adopted the British parliament­ ary system for example, an in­ stitution which has proved it­ self to be the best so devised in the governing of the affairs of man. The immigrants to this nation brought with them the culture achievements of their mother court try. This has con­ tinued, "Later, peqple came from various parts of Europe 'and they came in large numbers. They brought with them the Ways of their forefathers. Un­ fortunately they also found .this to be a hostile land with no national unity. They found that the ties to England shut the door to ahy activity in the creation of an 4 independent Canada, Accordingly, they formed their own groups for their own comfort and protect­ ion. They maintained their own old country traditions. “Clusters of ethnic communi­ ties were shattered throughout Canada. We became a nation Of parts. Of late, there has been an awakening. The giant is stirring, Surely it is time 4 to brihg into current activity, those ethnic groups so that a distinctive Canadian identity may emerge."It is distressing that our Governments, both on the Pro­ vincial and Fedeital level . have hot recognized the necessity of making a positive1 effort, not Tmassimilate these pQoplea but "ion in the building of the' nation while preseaving the traditions and the values' -thait they hold dear. “In other words, because we lack a distinctive Canadian culture, because we lack a dis­ tinctive Canadian personality, it is incumbent on our govern­ ments to maintain the values brought by these 'immigrants from their homelands to pro­ vide a springboard for an original Canadian development. “Ethnic peoples havq much to offer and our -governments by involving themselves with, the preservation of their culture Will break down barrier’s to the growth of a positive Canadian purpose. These .ethnic groups Will come to know one another and the value of each, others contributions. Canada will be richer for it. “Primo Minister Pearson in a speech commemorating the Millennium of Poland, recogniz­ ed that Canadians of Polish descent can make significant contributions to this country. He -said ‘the qualities of the Polish people add something of great value to our. O'wn national character; those qualities of courage, and strength, and tolerance and high ’ spirit that have enabled them to over­ come misfortune and refuse to. accept defeat: never to admit that a cause is lost or a loyalty, is impossible; steadfast in be­ lief and indomitable against oppression; above all, the quali­ ty of determination to- keep burning the unquenchable flame of freedom without which there can be no enduring peace that has a meaning for men’. “Next year we shall celebrate, our Centennial, 100 years since Confederation. We are consci­ ous of ourselves as a nation. But we are also troubled by the great and powerful neighbour to the south. We are warned of the encrouchment of foreign capital' and influence. Any­ thing therefore which ■ will strengthen our national fibre, is much to our advantage. "Poland has celebrated' her Millennium this year. Nine hundred years from now. Can­ ada will celebrate- her Milleni­ um,' What kind of country Will this be in the year 2867. Will we be one of the states of the American Union or Will we be a land thriving and Strong, free apd independent. "It- Whs G. Hamilton South­ ham, the first Canadian Am­ bassador to Poland who said, When speaking of Canadians and Poles. T wish we could, learn to feel that marvellous love of country Which came to distinguish the Poles through the 19th century. How was it done? Do we have to los’e our country as they did, before We love her well enough to win her back? Must wo see Canada partitioned as Poland was, economically and socially if not politically, With the Americans in control fitom Tonftato West­ wards, the rulers of France the arbiters in, Quebec, and the Merchant-Bankers of London Welcoming home the Maritimes and Newfoundland?
