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.

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

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.

1/2 a pint for the little old lady liv-

two kinds of Milk—called "silver

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-

tpp, and was- a little cheaper.
There were two deliveries a
day,—the early, one so dad Could

and the later one • about 11 a.m.
when the milkman would firs..

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.
