To the editor:
Players say thanks
Sir:
The Guelph Holody Platers wish to
extend their sincere thanks and
appreciation to the Brussels OptiMist Club
for the hospitality shown them during the
Brussels Optimist Atom Hockey
Tournament held recently.
The Tournament organizers, officials,
ladies auxiliary and numerous other
volunteers did a tremendous job in
accommodating all of the participating
teams.
Your Mr. Frank Stretton deserves
special mention for his untiring efforts.
Our congratulations to the "Brussels"
Novice "C" Champs.
Needless to say, we are just as thrilled
over our success at the Tournament.
Sincerely,
Vince MCCafferty

Grade 5 & 6 Our national
ignorance
(Continued from Page 2)
in regular classes and in extension and night classes
for adults.
In our universities, the majority of teachers on
many faculties are Americans who teach American
theory and practise, at best only trying to adapt it to
Canadian situtions. Canadian studies programs are
now springing up at our universities but in most
sociology, literature, political science and history are
taught from an American point of view.
In short, is it any wonder that we are so blissfully
ignorant about our country, its issues, its important
people and even its geography? „
Given that we don't want to give up completely
and become the 51st state, what are we going to do
about our collective ignorance?
A crash program in our schools, including night
school courses on Canada and Canadians might be a
good place to start. More Canadian emphasis on our
radio and TV stations, something that the Canadian
Radio and Television Commission is pushing for, will
also help.
Here at the Expositor we try to do our bit by
searching for Canadian jokes and features and by
commenting occasionally on the important national
issues.
If we want to really know our country and be able
to make informed jUdgments about its future as
voters and citizens its going to take a lot of work from
all of us, But the only alternative in sight is
countdown Canada and "My Country 'tis of thee" in
a very few years.
