Clinton News-Record, 1977-12-29, Page 13Jack's jottings ••• • from page 3 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.

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.
