He, too, has cut the family ties, and is going it alone, but he is en- vious of his brother's big spread to the south, and he is resentful of his big brother's paternal attitude, and he is adamant that people recognize him as a person, not just a kid brother, * When somebody else picks a fight, the brothers find them- selves on the same side, slug- ging it out with all they've got. When it's peaceful, they squab- ble with each other, as brothers have since the beginning of time. And the older brother is as- tonished at the younger bro- ther's orneriness. And the younger brother is furious at the older brother's patronizing attitude. Whatever we are friends, neighbors, brothers we have a relationship that is unequalled in the world. We exchange visits, gifts and citizens. We even exchange epithets. But we never exchange blows and cruelties and treachery.

It's late to be commenting on the assassination of President Kennedy. Most of the words as- sociated with the act of violence —tragedy, aged y, shock, horror — have already been used. But as an average Canadian, I cannot refrain from remark- ing that the people of this coun- try seemed just as deeply af- fected by this moment in history as their friends across the bor- der, We learned of the shooting with horrified disbelief. Our reaction was that of a man who learns that the neighbor with whom he has argued over minor things, with whom he has visit- ed, with whom he has fought against brutality and tyranny, has been killed by a sneak thief. Poeple are a pretty callous lot, and Canadians are no better than the next in this respect, but there was genuine sym- pathy, real grief, in this ber- eavement and death, Across the nation, women wept and men looked sad and sober. I've said this to tell the many American readers, and remind the host of Canadian readers of this column, that we are neighbors, and we are friends. We have more things in com- mon, probably, than any two neighboring nations in the world. We have a common heri- tage of language, law and lit- erature. We have the same basic moral values. We are both young and brash. We are both inclined to be touchy. Think of us as brothers. The United States is the big brother, grown up, wealthy, powerful, past rebellious nature of his youth, but still containing the lurking violence which told the old man to go to blazes, and made it stick. The older bro- ther is ready to settle down, raise a family and enjoy what his strength and hard work have created for him.

During the lunch hour Mrs, Ross Smale demonstrated Christmas decorations and no- vel ways to wrap Christmas gifts.
