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",

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,

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

I hope these few facts and
opinions can indicate the mag-

problem of biculturalism and
show that the main complaint
is not the lack of French in the
elementary school curriculum.

these opinions, I wish. I could,
for the time being, identify my-
self as a native of "La Belle

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. A Canadian ambassa-

sented his credentials to the
head of a French country

and Housing Corporation".

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
