Clinton News-Record, 1966-11-03, Page 9r I I Centennial Report 1867II1967 by JOHN W. FISHER CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER Report No. 26 Don’t pndprastipMte' the 'good effect the Centennial celebra tions are going to have on Can- .ada. The Centennial is coming just .at the right time — a time ’When many Canadians1 are be ginning to feel they have too long been subjected to the cry ing and the beefers, the whiners and the knockers. You know the lcind I mean — the ones who do nothing but wring their hands and predict that the country is about to come apart at the provincial seams, that, alas, there is naught to do ibut woefully sit and watch the dis integration, , The idea of Canada disinte grating, I imagine, was merely a novelty of the mind thought up by the doom-criers , as a pub licity aid, .but to use, the lan guage of the television age, it -has "been “over-exposed”. It has been exhausted in the public sound waves to the point where most' Canadians are yawning. I think we are all eager, and ready for a. refreshing change. We want to4'consider the bright future for Canada, which we know, down-, deep, to be prob- • able’ as well as possible. During 1967 we will hear and see plenty about the kind of Canada be picture .for the fut ure. Just ‘as an example, con sider “Second Century Week’’, a gathering of 1,100 stuclepts, .from all across Canada, on the • /two campuses of ite University ■ .of Alberta and the University of Calgary -next March. Grants from the Alberta and federal government are assisting the universities in this Centennial year project. It is the stu dents in our society who often spark the action' neces sary to put new ideas in motion and the theme of their ‘-‘Second . * Century Week” .. gathering is that the Centennial is a bridge '-to the future —■ a future in volving opportunities so great that they are bound to over shadow the temporarily unsol ved problems of Canada. * Throughout 1967 events and words also will help refresh the original, dream, of p great Canada which the Fathers of Confederation started on the way to reality when they met at Prince Edward Island 100 years ago. For example more books, poems, essays and plays on the story of Canada are be ing published than 'at any other, time in the country’s history. We estimate 'that seveuial hun dreds will find a place-on the Oanadiana shelves. More than 100 are being produced with the ■help of Centennial Commission grants alone. In addition com mercial publishers, churches, and other institutions are bringing out many more during Centennial. ,. , Through books and plays the glamor, the drama and the. ex citement in. the story of Can ada, so often missed in history books, and so long neglected by the majority of publishers, will stir new pride in our ‘country. More writers and publishers will be challenging the whole of bur country to, show it can live up to its potential great ness, in the 20th century. I believe the Centennial cele brations Will be for Canada what a good spring cleaning does for a house that’s been too long closed up for the win ter months. The year 1967 will be a time for a new, fresh outlook, a time when we open the doors and windows of oiur minds, let in the fresh air and clean out the cobwebs. A country with such a potential has no place for cobwebs. Two Canadian Plowmen At Irish Match Two Canadian farmers' left Malton this week, on a special, three-week tour of the British Isles, Charles Bonney of Prince ton, Ont., the 1965 Caiiadlilan Plowing Champion, and Tom Hickman of Cultus Lake, B.C., have accepted an invitation to participate in the annual Nor thern Ireland Plowing Match.
