pleasure to me, when Americans
.decry British "colonialism" to
remind them of Cuba, Puerto
Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines,
Panama and Texas. They have
conveniently forgotten, in most
cases, that many of these
"acquisitions" were a result of
direct and violent conquest.)
Thoreau spoke openly of
revolution. "When a sixth of the
population of a nation which has
undertaken to be the refuge of
liberty are slaves, and a whole
country (Texas) is unjustly
overrun and conquered by a
foreign army (U.S.), I think it is
not too soon for honest men to
rebel and revolutionize."
Isn't the situation almost
exactly the same today? Blacks
are not legal slaves, but they are
economic ones. North Viet Nam
was not exactly overrun, but not
for want of trying.
And what would happen to
Thoreau if he expressed such
sentiments today? Probably not
much, because there is a
growing, swelling anger against
the stupid war among Americans
of all walks of life,
But if he'd said it ten years
ago? Or in the era of Joe
McCarthy? He'd likely have lost
his job, been harassed by the CIA
and or FBI, attacked by some
segments of the press, and
generally driven like a fox before
hounds.
It speaks much for the growing
lack of freedom in the U.S. (and
elsewhere) that nothing serious
happened to Thoreau at all, when
he uttered these inflammatory
remarks.
He did spend one night in jail,
when he refused to pay his poll
tax, on the basis that his dollar
might buy either a man or a
musket to shoot one with. But
somebody paid his fine, and he
was released.
Today we have the prospect of
men spending years in jail
because they refuse to go against
their consciences. We have
thousands of U.S. draft-dodgers
in Canada, forsaking their home
and native land for reasons of
common sense (who wants to be
killed?) or conscience,
Joan Baez, the folk-singer and
anti-war individual, tried to take
a similar stand by refusing to pay
her income tax. The government
merely deducted it at source,
from the record companies who
paid her royalties.
Thoreau advocated that, if
there were an unjust law, we
should break it,
What would happen to an or-
dinary Canadian who said, "I will

One of the highlights will be 95

McNaughton reported that
finances for the fair are "in good

pay to have my garbage collected
and the streets repaired., But I
will not pay one penny for
"national defence", I don't want
welfare, unemployment in-
surance rmedicare so I won'tpay a
nickel toward them,"?
The answer is obvious. That
bold Canadian would spend the
rest of his life in the law courts,
being punished by "his"
government, instead of being
allowed the simple, sensible
alternative of opting out.
Life is too short. But are we
being governed to death? Oh, for
a few Thoreaus in these timid
days!
Pair surprised
at family party
A surprise party, planned by
members of their family was held
January 12 for Mr. and Mrs. Joe
McLellan, Hensall on the oc-
casion of their 45th wedding
anniversary. Forty friends and
relatives were entertained to
dinner and a social evening of
progressive euchre was enjoyed.
The tables were decorated with
sapphire candles and an an-
niversary cake, decorated with
sapphire trimmings adorned the
centre. Many beautiful gifts were
received for which Joe and Edna
thanked everyone. Guests were
present from Kitchener, Strat-
ford, Mitchell, Seaforth and the
Kippen area.
