EDITORIAL If Quebec separates, what will happen to Canada? If Quebec separates, the Maritimes will also separate because it will be divided by Quebec. The Mari- times are poor anyway; the pros- perous provinces pay for their support in the winterinonths. As a country of their • own they will have difficulties making a go of it. Their probable fate will be to join up with the United States. Quebec will try to make it on their own as a country. They will no longer have Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia to help sup- port them. They have few re- sources. However, they do have a good political leader who is inter- ested in them and willing to work for them. He has passed laws which provide French for the French speaking Canadians in Quebec. The French speaking Quebecers are encouraged to stay ; the others, have no en- couragement to stay. Quebec is like a separate coun- try now. Their official language is French. Students are forced to attend a French-speaking school. Eighty per cent of the people that live:. in Quebec speak French. Why shouldn't they be a separate country? Eventually, if they do not separate into another coun- try, they will be socially separate from Canada anyway. Unless people want to speak French, why would anyone want to go to Quebec to live? The rest of Canada will have difficulties because other coun- tries will begin to wonder about Canada if its people stick to- gether for even one hundred and ten years., The standard of, living may .pyo up because of the loss of LAYAWAY NOV...

CAMPBELL Mrs. Campbell, head of the his- tory department at F. E. Madill, was born on a farm near London, Ontario. She returns often to the farm to visit her mother. These visits are important to her as they not only renew family ties but, also give her a break from school and a sense of revival, Mrs. Campbell went to a rural public school. Later she attended a high school in London and then in Arva. After high school graduation she became a student of the University of Western On- tario. Unlike most students she did not have the problem of find- ing a place to live, as the univer- sity was only eight miles from her home. She graduated with an honors B.A. in history and ob- tained her first job here at F. E. Madill. Even at the early age of four Mrs. Campbell was at work as a budding historian. Archaeologi- cal digs were being done on her farm by U.W.O. summer stu- dents under Wilfrid Jury. Mr. Jury, a neighbour of Mrs. Camp- bell who never completed hi school, has now become a tura at U.W.O. and was recen awarded the Alumni Award Merit. He is also known as originator of Ville St. Marie Midland. Mrs. Campbell wor along with him on her farm a today they are still good frien Mrs. Campbell feels history important for students. She sa "Young people should kn where they come from." Th need roots . and some idea 'where they fit into the scheme things, in world terms 'as well Canadian and local terms. Mrs. Campbell appreciates news around her; wheth American or English or Russian Revolution celebratio She says she enjoys life more b cause of the little bit of histo she knows. Still, she believes gh tor by of The Wingham Advance -Times, November 16, 1977 Page ,S Remembrance Day theme for F.E. Madill service While some people can remem- ber the events Remembrance Day commemorates others can only imagine them, Rev. John Swan of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Wingham, told students at Madill Secondary School last Thursday. Speaking during a Remem- nterview subjects are valuable whether they are of a business, language or social nature; as all subjects give a different outlook and inter- pretation of the world ,we live in. Mrs. Campbell has a great in- terest in books, especially bio- graphies and those on domestic architecture in Upper Canada'. Something she really enjoys is travelling. She has taken several trips ' to the British Isles and France and two trips to India. She would like to go to Moscow and North Africa. Besides going overseas, she has travelled ex- tensively across Canada and en- courages all students to do the same. In the past, she says, she was never sure if she taught to travel or travelled to teach. When I asked Mrs. Campbell if she had any other hobbies she re- plied, "Oh yes; cooking and eating!" Mrs. Campbell's endless knowledge never fails to amaze her students. We all wish Mrs. Campbell continued success in her teaching. —Marnie Walsh 12H brance Day service at the school, Mr. Swan said the freedom we live in was purchased through the sacrifices made by others. The prize we owe is to assume the responsibility of being good citiz- ens, he said. "The freedom for which they died is in danger," he added. "It is up to us to uphold it by acting as responsible citizens." He emphasized the importance of thought. "Conflict begins in the area of thought," he said. He also told the students the prime pur- pose of education is "to teach us to think clearly and responsibly." The service featured the ad- vancing of the colors by repre- sentatives from the Royal Canad- ian Legion . Branch 180. Dade Crothers was sergeant -at -arms, while David Hynes and Jack Blackwell carried the flags and Mac Armstong was the piper. Mr. Blackwell and Mr. Armstrong are from Teeswater. Student council president Mary Eadie and Lt -Col. George Howson MM, a veteran of World War I, laid ceremonial' wreaths and Pat Murray a Madill stu- dent, played Last Post and Reveille. Sylvia Beard, also a student at Madill, read a , poem entitled Voices in The Silence; written by her father, Edmund C. Beard. The Madill choir sang Canticle of Praise and Exodus and led the assembly in singing Land of Our Birth and 0' Canada.

Mr. Hunter, the coach, drove the van to our destination. We stayed in the Manitou Motel in North Bay. Before we left, the cheerleaders greeted the girls outside room 246 with carnation corsages as tokens of good luck. The race was held at Auberge de Poinners, a conservation area 35 miles east of North ••,Bay. The cow -se was rocky, middy with such dangerous hazards as cut off stumps, and sticks and roots hidden by fallen leaves. 'So rugged was the trail that a few broken legs and sprained ankles did occur, but fortunately there were no injuries on our team. A total of 1,300 runners com- peted for the tit -Ontario Cham- pionship, with as many as 200 or more runners in each race. Our team, consisting of Janet Wood, Freda Reinink, Anita Rienink, Chris Orien, and Ann- ette Dorsch did well considering the tough competition. They placed llth out of 25 teams in 17 athletic associations. Individual results of our team are Janet Wood, 17th place; Freda Rienink, 42nd; and Anita Rienink 79th place. The girls would like thank all the cheerleaders for their kind support and the school for their best wishes. —Annette Dorsch 13A won't let it. Ann Balser 12A— It's getting to mean less arld less because our generation hasn't experienced war. Evelyn During.9C — It's' not ob- solete. The men that died will be remembered always. • . Kay Morrison 9F --It is not outdated. I think the men who died will always be remembered as long as. Remembrance ,Day goes on. Anne Colwell 11B — No, I don't think it is obsolete or obscure. I think it means different things to different people. East Wawanosh Newsletter The grade 4, 5 Remembrance Day service at East Wawanosh PS Was announced by Heather Hedley.
