facturing expansion.
The Kitimats, Leducs, Beaverlodges, Lynn Lakes, Burnt
Creeks and Bathhursts get the glitter. But Canada's
development is not just an iron or uraniuum or oil or
electric power. There's solid development in manufactur-
ing. But a good part of that manufacturing is in and
around our big cities and the bigger the city, the more the
growth,
If you keep putting 2,000 cars into every street where
there were 1,000 before, and five new factories where there
were three before, the complications of living become that
much more entangled.
Investment figures describe a healthy Canada econ-
omically. But it would be a happier country, with fewer
ulcers, trampled toes, dented fenders—and more smiles

DDY.A.P NAPOLEON
To most of us July 1st will be just another holiday*
A day off from work, a chance to go to the lake, the open- •
ing of the bass season. Pity it doesn't come on Monday
so we could have the long week-end.
Actually it means a lot more to us than that, even if
we don't realize it, For 86 years ago this July 1st Canada
became a nation.
True, it wasn't much of a nation to start with, Just
a string of sprawling pioneer settlements stretching from .
the Atlantic coast to undetermined points west, In 1867
we couldn't even boast of being a nation "from sea to sea",
But on that base was built the great nation we know to-
day—the country we think of as the finest place to lire on
God's green earth.
Birthdays, especially national birthdays, are usually
celebrated with festivities of some sort. We in Canada
aren't a particularly festive race most of the time. So we
just declare a public holiday and leave it at that, And we
save our fireworks for a day which has actually very little
significance for us.
There is another aspect of birthdays which seems to
have been neglected on national days. And that is where
Canadians might sublimate their seeming distaste for fes-
tivities.
In the case of private birthdays, the custom is for
friends to bring gifts. Why not observe a National Birth-
day in the same way?
Let each Canadian present his country with a small
token of his esteem on July lst. A gift, a little job of work,
a donation of some sort----anything he thinks would be
of use to the common weal and to Canada.
There are millions of little jobs which could be done
for the good of the country. If 14,000,000 people each
undertook to do one, however' small, Canada would- in-
deed have a happy birthday.

Its probably true that politics aren't as partisan! as helpers and pinned them under the
they used to be. A good many people nowadays follow
the dictates of their conscience rather than those of a
party line.
Another thing that has confused the issue these days
is the fact that differences between the main parties—
apart from personalities—is so unpronounced as to be al-
most unrecognizable. If you doubt that, try explaining to
a child the sk. principles of Liberalism or Conservatism
in a few simple words. Try explaining present-day poli-
cies of the two parties and you'll probably get into even
greater difficulties.
While an interest in politics is desirable in every citi-
zen, it is doubtful if the passing of the one-party man Construction Service, Co,. has a force
