I don't think it has yet grown to uncontrollable proportions in the corpus Canadiensis, and I hope it can be cut out with some rigorous surgery in the right places.

Many hottest natipnalists are taken in, and eventually find that their pride In things Canadian has been warped ,into ° Anti- Ainericanisnl. •Let there be no mistake. There is no real.,eonnec- tion. The former is healthy. The latter is sick. This has always beena country loaded with prejudice, whatever you may think. A couple tif generations back, the Angle - Saxons of this fine free country of ours looked doyen their noses, even' though their own back- ground wds an English slum, a Scottish croft or an Irish shanty j They spoke bluntly and dis- paragingly of lesser breeds. Germans and Scandinavians were Squareheads. Italians were Wops or Dagoes. French were neither Canadian- nor Candies. They were Frogs or Peasoupers. Everybody from Eastern Europe to tie Ukraine was a Runkle. A black person was a Nigger. And a Jew? Well, a Jew certainly wasn't Jewish. He was "just a Jew". The only thing lower than any of these categories was a woman. Think I'm romancing? It sounds pretty 'ugly, doesn't it? But- I was, there, gentle reader, and so were many of you. With education, enlightenment, and a fine performance by most of those lowly immigrants, came a change in atomosphere. Iti became fashionable to be "toler- ant," a word That • has always made me squirm. . But not before the private. schools, and the law societies and the medical schools and the golf clubs had had their Wasps -only barricades knocked down. It was ugly in this country. , The grandchildren of those earlier prejudiced people showed a remarkable lack of that narrowness. Canada was becom- ing an oasis of freedom for the individual, People were leaning over backward to prove they were liberal arld "tolerant". And now all that narrowness and secret hatred seems to be channeling itself into Anti - Americanism. • People in this country talked endlessly about Watergate, as though web asewer of irruption were ,peculiar to Americans. They sihi'ggered'about the antics of American leaders. There was a particularly nasty type of something near gloating when the Americans pulled out of Vietnam. ° There was and is a proliferat- ing of popular articles about the Americans owning Canadian industry, buying up Canadian property. • Let's put an end to this slimy business. Let's look at our own dredging scandals and lawless unions. Let's stop secretly cheering when the Yanks get a bloody nose somewhere. It's not their fault that they're rich` and powerful. They didn't seize our industry. We sold it to them. France and Britain virtually ignored Canada when this coun- try was abuilding. We owe them nothing. We could have a lot worse neighbors than the Americans; in fact almost anyone I can think of. Anti -Americanism is cheifly petty envy, and is found only among those who are petty and envious. We're too big for that. Brave lad halts a runaway bus SUTTON,' England — Christopher Davis, 19 years old, boarded a bus the other day and sat down in the back seat. The bus stinted moving without either the conductor or driver aboard and as wom- en passengers began scream- ing, David dashed from the back of the bus, pulled on the emergency brake and stopped the runaway bus. Swimming can make you itch Swimmer's itch, a skin rash accompanied by severe itching, can be confused with poison ivy, chigger or mos- quito bites, and , contact dermatitis, according to a report in Dermatology News. Cercarial dermatitis is the medical name for the infec- tion, caused by a tiny worm spread by snails living in the water, and most commonly found in the„Great Lakes.

Green's Article bout the homogenized tastele milk in cartons and plastic bags remits me of just another of the good thim seemingly gone for- ever in the Mme"progress". In myyouth y , th in good°n►1d England . the first thingyou heard °at six o'clock in the morning was the' whistling of themilkman and the clink of the bottles, as he cheerily, made his way along, delivering three pints here, two pipits there, 1/2 a pint for the little old lady liv- ing on her own, together with a pound of butter anda little neat carton of cream. Yes, he carried two kinds of Milk—called "silver top" and "gold top", the 'shiny gold top of the latter signifying the deep rich cream ;At the top ° third of the bottle; it was really thick and ideal for fruit, coffee or cereals. And the taste! The "sil- ver. top" also had cream at the tpp, and was- a little cheaper. There were two deliveries a day,—the early, one so dad Could have fresh milk for breakfast, and the later one • about 11 a.m. when the milkman would firs.. call to ask if you wanted any eggs, cream and jam sponges, bread or any of,the other items he carried with him. Nothing was ever pilferedfrom one's . door- step—even in the• early morning with no one else about exceptthe occasional early worker. Another of the good things gone for ever is the delivery 'madman in the red van. The loud "rat -tat" on the doer Cliriistmas morning (one delivery only . on Xmas LET'S TALK Being bapp,Y, is a choice By REV. W. LEE TRUMAN Alice had been very care - hilly schooled by her mother in the philosophy of: "Be rood and you will be happy." Her life had been one of moral uprightness, and 1 am convinced that she had tried to live her life by the highest moral standards- But Alice had known a great deal of un- happiness- . She could only ask: "Why is life so unfair?" Two months of counseling later, Alice could see that only she was responsible for her own happiness, not circumstances or things beyond her control. Being happy is as much a choice as was Alice's ,choice for being good. This is not a chore, or liability,' but a de- lightful experience in living. People who generate their own inner sunshine make life bright for everyone who comes close to them. Such persons can trust their im- pulses, enjoy their spon- taneity and creativity be- cause, invariably, they have their roots down in a deep, alive faith, and they like and trust the person they are. No one can be up, bright, and all smiles when bad luck is coming their way. But a deep happiness is not the re- sult of good fortune; rather it is a virtue and, in the greater sense, a very brave one. Happiness comes with the grace to accept life gratefully and make the most and best of it — thorns, roses and all. This is what Alice's mother had never told her, and. what Robert Louis Stevenson meant when he spoke of his "great task of happiness," choosing to be of a positive frame of mind, even as he knew he was dying of tuberculosis. We meet men and women we know who have sickness, disappointments, crisis and you marvel at the persons they are. Not only are they brave, they are basically joy- ful, life -filled persons. Such, persons I think not only im- prove the climate of our world, they put heart in the rest of us to choose to be posi- tive persons. The payoff is that we real- ize we have lifted someone else's spirits, we get through our own times of trouble much more easily. In short, after 20 years of all kinds of counseling, I am convinced that the deeply happy persons are hot the fortunate ones, or the blessed ones, but the ones who have made up their minds to be happy.
