IIMIE To the Editor After reading your editorial ;;That ulturalismProbe lem", I feel I must present to you, and to your readers, another •opinion on the question. I shall, however, avoid comment on the Montreal taxi driver's statements. First, j must state that I feel you are very much off-base (but not entirely) in believing that the teaching of French in E nglish elementary schools is the root of the problem. I am referr tug tp comprehensive teaching of French not "light" teaching, like conversational French. Such a measure, the teach- ing of French in English ele- mentary schools and the teach- ing of English in French ele- mentary schools (comprehen- sive teaching that is) would hardly get approval from either group, and rightly so. No one can deny if would most certainly increase good will, comprehension and re- spect to a certain degree. But at what price for the children Centralia cars receive another safety check However, there is In Quebec a minority, unfortunately grow- ing stronger every dey, which believes that French Cerieda is doomed as a nation unless it becomes totally independent,. This danger cannot be mini- mized. A "seperatiet" three years ago was considered "Kw:lee" in Quebec. Today, the atmosphere is such that no one dares to utter en outright con- demnation of "eeparatism", Certainly no public figure would, SOUND BEEFS To French Canada, the fed- eral government is and has always been the government of English Canada. It follows that it is being held responsible for the present status of French Group Captain L. H. Randall, DGC, CD, commanding officer of RCAF Station Centralia, receives his safety check sticker from Fred Cronkrite, clep't of transport inspector. All vehicles belonging to station personnel are being checked between October 7-18, This is a mandatory check for all cars. Those vehicle owners whose cars are considered dangerous, or unroadworthy by the safety lane people, will have their station privileges withdrawn. Air Force Police are also checking all vehicle registrations, operator's permits and insurance. Nu person without full car insurance coverage is allowed use of the station, Help yourself happily to good health! concerned; According to a great number of specialists, the corn- Prehenelve teaching of e sewed (not secondary) language., in the early stages of schooling, could seriously affect one's power of expression for life, because a firm, basic knowledge of one's natural language appears to be a pre-requisite for adequate expression, Furthermore, within the scope of the ',bicultural" ques- tion, I'm afraid it would merely be "a drop in the becket" to- wards its solution, even the long range solution. THE REAL PROBLEM As I see it, the real bicul- tural problem is: French Ca- nadians do not feel at home in their own country because their language and culture, which are official, do riotenloY the respect and status of an official Ian- guage. The majority of French Cana- dians believe that a different and more proper cultural and linguistic atmosphere can be achieved within the actual framework of Confederation but not without some modifications, The cost of funerals Nothing else that tastes so good is so good for you es something from the dairy?' result in a loss of prestige for Canada as a whole, EXTERNAL AFFAIRS Even the most nationalistic, even the most separatist French Canadian would deny the neces- sity of some language rejuvena- tion, in our spoken language especially. A sound policy of economic, cultural and even military relations would be greatly beneficial. However our external relations are geared nearly exclusively to the Eng- lish speaking world. FRENCH CANADA WANTS: 1, A genuinely bilingual cen- tral government, a government for all Canadians. 2. The same respect for French minorities in English Canada as they give to their own English minority. 3. They want to distinguish themselves as they are, in in- dustry, in government and in Midnight snack-time or any time around the clock is a good time to enjoy the zestful health lift that wholesome dairy products give you.

H. We Moyer, service bureau officer from London, will be at their everyday life. What other feelings could be expected of a proud nation. I hope these few facts and opinions can indicate the mag- nitude and seriousness of the problem of biculturalism and show that the main complaint is not the lack of French in the elementary school curriculum. To give more substance to these opinions, I wish. I could, for the time being, identify my- self as a native of "La Belle Province". However, like the Montreal taxi-driver, I must identify myself just as another pea-souper from North B a y (area), Guy Lafreniere Phone Hensal I 27 82 Sanders, Exeter dren, and for the pnrposes of the survey, included welfare cases. Of adult services 1.9 per cent cost less than $200; lie& per cent cost between $200 and $399; 37.5 per cent between $400 and $599.; 36,5 per cent between $600 and $799; 9.7 per cent between $800 and 4:999; 2.6 per cent cost $1,000 or more, These figures include the cost of caskets but do not cover cemetery costs, flowers, extra transportation or an hono- rarium for the clergyman. Salaries are the largest funeral expense. Other major items include maintenance of buildings, furnishings and sup- plies, automotive equipment and taxes. Of funeral homes surveyed 60.3 per cent conducted less than 75 services annually; 17,1 per cent between '75 and 125; 10.1 per cent between 126 and 200; 7.5 per cent between 201 and 350 and 5 per cent more than 350. The average investment ran from $33,695 for funeral homes conducting an average of 50 services per year, to $169,625 for those conducting 125 or more.

Legion officials Harvey Pfaff and Bert Ostland are arranging appointments. There is the story about the farmer who was an incurable grumbler. One fall he had the best apple crop for miles a- round. One of his neighbors stopped by to congratulate him, and said, "Well Hiram, you sure ought to be happy now. This is the finest crop of apples ever raised around the se parts." But the grumbler didn't even smile, as he growled, "Well, s'pose they'll do--butwhere's the rotten ones for the hogs?" where compared to the status of English In our country. Even a general view on some aspects of federal adminietra- lion may indicate that the cur- rent complaints of culturaldis- crimination may be more rea- sonable and logical than anyone cares to admit. LINGUISTIC POLICY Linguistically, thefactualpoe Hey of the government since 1867 has been "bilingualism for French Canadians, ism for English Canadians". The natural result was inevit- ably a unilingeal English ad- ministration. Nearly all political leaders admit loudly the bicultural na- ture of our country, especially at election time. However, in actual fact, the French language in government circles has al- ways enjoyed a low status. CIVIL SERVICE In the federal civil service, in all departments, there is no place, no room for one non- English speaking employee. Are English civil servants required to speak French? Not in the least. However, constitutional- ly, both languages enjoy equal status in government. This explains the low repre- sentation of the French element in government service, lowboth in quantity and in quality. French Canadians want to re- main French and want to live and progress according to their own natural culture and spirit. Joining government service means that they have to re- nounce their very nature or re- main strangers, often both. Their progress will naturally depend on their performance as English speaking individuals. PRESTIGE ABROAD The lack of recognition is not only evident in the country but abroad.

IBRANASEt PARADOL To the editor, In view of some recent maga- eine articles which have been critical of the cost of funeral services, we feel the following information will be both inter- esting and enlightening. Average cost of a funeral in Ontario in 1962 was $529 of which $'?4 represented the aver- age profit to the funeral home. Sixty per cent of funeral homes conducted less than 75 services annually. These figures were revealed at the Ontario FuneralServices Association Congress in Lon— don, and are contained in the 1962 Statistical Survey of Funeral Service Facts and Fi- gures. Compiled for the association by Gruneau Research Com- panies Ltd., the survey is the most comprehensive yet made in Ontario. It covered 25,919 funerals in all parts of the pro- vince. The OFSA comprises some 450 of the province's 600 licensed funeral directors. The survey showed 79 percent of all funeral services were conducted for adults and these produced 95 per cent of income to funeral homes. Average cost of an adult's funeral was $595. The remaining 21 per cent of funerals were of infants, chile TI GUWIAW I toottitibee; "I'm going across to the bank for a minute" Children have a way with words.
