INDIANS ARE
AWAKENING
Vv9 or three recent instances of
'the clash between Indianrights and
.and Canadian law serve as a remind-
er that the original inhabitants of
this and are awakening to the fact
that they have been pvished aronnd
long enough.
A few Indians in the Montreal
Ostrict have delayed work on the
,St. Lawrence, Seaway project by
onths because they appealed in
•anada's highest tribunal before be -
ng evicted from their lands.At the
resent tinie• the Indians at the Six
Nations reserve near Brantford are
up in arms ,becaue the 'government
seeks, to interfere with the legality ,of
ge-oid marriage ,ceremonies in their
•-tribe.
Of course the India:I-mare defeat-
ed ,before they start — siinply be-
cause they are •outnumbered and
•out -financed, '13 -tit they are 'arousing
public opinion and white people all
f)y.erthe country are paying a little
tuOte°4tterition to the hopeless plight
of the people from Whom we wrested
this land of which we are so proud.
Not too many months ago some
9-1;1,41.1'r national figures were qpite
bpen in their 'dedaration that the
• British rand French shoold get out of
the:Viddie East territories and let
the native populations control the
areas which are rightfully their own.
Lo*oy, then, white. Interlopers in
• Canada shonfd pack, If up and
leave this 'etruntrv to the Indians.
PrePostercus Of course. Our
particular sacietv and civilization is
toofirinly established. The financial
logs:would be too, great. No sensible
white person would even consider
such a thing, and rightly so. But it
is high time that Canadians, Includ-
ing' those in high places, recognized
the,: fact that our, treatMent of -
Indians has been shabby, to say the
least. We simply:herded them oni6.
reservations (often the poorest and
Most unproductive land- .available)
paid them a pittance in utregty -Mon-
ey" and piomfitly forgot th'em,
• The Indians On some feserVa-
tions have made creditable progress
with; 'a minimum, of assistance, but:
on Many Other -reserves the con-
dition. whiCh exists • is- inexcusable.
Poverty and settalor prevail. The
• Indians can accept only such meagre
edueatiah ° as is provided in their
Own reservation schools because
they simply haven't the money to go
beyond their own land for further
learning. .
The Indians have been given a
few privileges, such as exemption
• from thenecessity to purchase hunt-
ing and fishing lieenses, but on the
other hand they have been bound by
special lvvs throughout the history
of the white man in Canada. They
Are rita by nature, any less intelli-
gent 'than the rest of us. It is about
time we accepted them as full Can•
.ditiuns and provided the ne-
tessary assistance to raise their
standards of education and living so
they will be able to face the world
with independence and courage.
• We certainly thought a lot of
thoSe Indian boys when they were
fighting in our army — but we still
think we can tell them how they •are
to go, about getting.martied.

News of our community is the

carries is certainly important if the
paper is- tb- continue its existenee and
the commercial printing which is
produced in its plant is equally vital
—,but the presentation of news is
still the mpst important part of our
,work.

Despite the fact that the contentg'
(if this. paper was retentln :termed-,
"old women's gossip" by one Of our
prominent residents, it „would seem
that it is a type of gossip which is
popular with the public. Circulation

all-time high, with a sharp increase
in the past eighteen months, despite
the attention which is -given to tele-

invite the participation of more
readers in the production of their

We are happy to get it, either at „the

of news we do feel is neglected in

HOW GOES THE PARKING
METER?
(St. Marys Journal -Argus):
• Reports concerning the revenue
brought in by parking meters in
°other centres 'are being read these
days as various municipalities look
back on their financial activities of
the past year. We notice that Lon-
don's 1,500 parking meters brought
the city a revenue of $10,715 in
1956, an increase of $7,625 more than
in the year before.
St. Marys we do not expect
-the parking meter revenue to be as
high as it A,VaS in 1955 sie the side-
walk improvements. tarried out in
the latter part of the year necessitat-
ed a prolonged removal of many of
the meter.s- However, iC is to be
hoped that the year's teventie wag
big enough to cover the payments
made to the firm whieh installed the
meters.. We believe these payments
are to continue for some years yet,
This newspaper was not in favor,
originally, of the installation of
parking meters in St, MaiTs. hit
when it was found the meters were
the solution to the local downtown
