The ational ballets,' Sir Ernest. 'llan's symphony orchestra, groups, amateur poets, and nner of authors and dancing s are pleased to tell people Canadian media as this. -- But culture is more' thanjust these things? and'the cultul pat- tern of this nation comes not only from those who have read Plato's "Republic and Emily Post's book of etiquette, who walk about In crowded rooms, sipping cocktails and talking of Michelangelo. It comes from us all. The clever man who writes the Royal Bank of Canada's "Monthly Letter" says; that part of a gen- 'uine culture is what we borrow from other countries,that all the past of humanity enters into it. Culture is a constant state of be- coming, Perhaps the best recipe for a culture for Canada, he says, is just to have the courage to be what we are. And what are we? ' We must be, for many reasons, ' a remark- able people. To say the least. The citizens of France are • Jim's Machine Shop H EN S A L L" _.

The Russians are famous for chess and ballet, if not for hockey. The Italians are- famous for opera and spaghetti, the. Welsh for their singing,' and the women of Japan for their arrangement of flowers. Negros are usually Bap- tists, And Indians Are Catholic, There are certain things peculiar to all people, and that is their culture, whether it is good or bad. * * * Canada is a country where men go to get their unemployment cheques in taxis, where sailors and floosies make love in telephone booths. Canadian sheep on the. east coast eat dulse, and Canadian advertisers "spend $3,000,000 an- nually for space in American magazines having "Canadian edi- tions". Ottawa is to build a $6,000,000 library. On a train, I overheard a man trying to amuse a little 'girl. "What would you do if I bit your finger off?" he said suddenly, "I'd throw it in the garbage!" was the quick and decisive reply. I took myown little girl into a restaur- ant that served. Chinsese dishes, and she complained that the dishes weren't Chinese at all, but just like the ones we had at home. So you see, culture is the way people think, and the way they act, * * * Oscar Wilde, the aesthetic who once said that the United States was just one long expectoration, thought that, those who find. beautiful meanings., in beautiful things are cultivated.. But Mat- thew Arnold did not think it en- ough jutt to see beauty. He thought that one should create it, that "culture is a study of per- fection", that culture is to know the best that has been said and thought in the world. But that is perhaps an order too profound for all of us. In this regard, however, George Obituaries. Mrs. W. 'J. Elliott Mrs. William 3.

Relatives attended from Toron- to, Woodstock, Stratford and Sar- nia Santayana lamented that so many of us are content with the com- monest, and that the longing with- in man to be primitive is a desease of culture. Emerson had still an- other lament when he wrote: "Cul- ture is one thing and varnish an- other", n-other, which brings us back to the original, premise—you cannot get specially fixed up for culture.
