ticularly concerned about
lack of job opportunities for
the young people who will be
coming on at a rate of
about 200,000 a year for the
next few years. Crime and
violence are increasing,
particularly in our cities. The
very future of our country, in
its present form, is in
question.
Little wonder that many
people talk about the "gold
old days" and bemoan the
fact that times have changed
- and not for the better.
It is, perhaps, some
comfort to remember that,
throughout history, there has
never been a time or a people
which did not applaud the
past, and worry about the
present. The Papyrus of
Prisse, which is about 6,000
years old - possibly the oldest
piece of writing known to man
- begins with the words,
"Alas, times are not what
they used to be". One way or
another, people have been
saying that ever since.
We think of the Refor-
mation as having been a
glorious age, but Erasmus,
who lived in those '" days,
described it as "the ex-
crement of the ages".
The 17th century, which we
consider a period of ad-
venture, of exploration and
discovery, which opened up
an entire new world, was said
by Bossuet, in the middle of
events, to be "a wicked and
wretched age".
Many people look upon the
18th century as a period of
political liberation, which
witnessed the French and
American Revolutions, yet
Rousseau, in a moment of
disillusionment, described
the times as "a great state of
rottenness in the midst of
which we are living",
One thing is clear, we all of
us must accept some
responsibility for what is
happening today, and for
what the future will bring.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once
said "This age, like other
ages, is very good if only we
knew what to do about it".
That is as true today as it has
ever been. We know many of
the problems. Somehow we
must find the answers.
Many people feel helpless
to cope with today's dif-
ficulties. There is a tendency,
sometimes, to feel there is
nothing one can do that
someone, somewhere - the
government, the leaders, the
politicians, someone with
more Knowledge, more skill,
more power - will have to take
over. There seems to be little
incentive. to make an in-
dividual effort to improve or
change the situation.
If a student in school
believes that, whether or not
he works, he will go into the
next grade, then it is un-
derstandable that many
young people succumb to the
temptation to drift through
school.
If a worker comes'" -'to
believe that how he works -
how hard, how well - makes
no difference to his job
security or his pay, then there
is little encouragement to do
one's best, except a sense of
personal pride.
If Canadians. come to
believe that nothing can be
done about, our serious
problems - rising unem-
ployment, the situation with
respect to Quebec, etc. - there
is a tendency to let things
slide, until they do indeed get
out of control,.
Some of you may feel you
have little to contribute. This
is not so. We all have a part to
play. Perhaps, now that we
are faced with quite serious
difficulties, this is the time to
remember the old motto
"United we stand, divided we
oohing forward
to clear skies and
happy days as we
start the snow -fresh
year. Thanks to all.

fall".
Winston Churchill once
described socialism as :."a
philosophy of failure,- the
creed of ignorance and the
gospel of envy. Its inherent
merit is the equal sharing of
misery." Perhaps the time
has come to preach a
philosophy of success, the
creed of knowledge, the
gospel of work, not forgetting
the inherent merit of en-
thusiasm and dedication.
Whatever happens in the
New Year, I'm sure we can,
together, meet every
chn.11enge; overcome every
obstacle, The pioneers who
came to this country many
years ago must have faced
problems and difficulties
which seemed to them in-
superable. Because of their
efforts and determination,
Canada has become the great
country which it is today. 1
believe we owe it to them to
ourselves and to future
,Canadians to do whatever we
can to protect and preserve
our inheritance' and the way
of life which we value so
highly.
My best wishes to you all
for the coming year; May you
all find peace, prosperity and
happiness.
