CLII4TON ,' NLrWS-RECORD PAGE THREE t's Chat 4 AWrJamansViewpoint ' s p on This and That 3 4Y IiIHA ALTHOUGH we haven't had too much time for reading lately, there are three magazines we like to read with considerable thor- oughness to keep; us abreast of the Canadian and. American scene and world affairs . . They are two Canadian magazines—Mac- Lean's and Saturday Night.; and one American — the Saturday Evening Post . N .0* WHILE reading the latest edi- tion of MacLean's over the week- end, the leading article -a report on the people next door, "USA 1951"—emphasizedseveral points which, Canadians are slowly be- coming cognizant of, and . should understand and appreciate if Can- ada is to forge ahead as' a great "Canadian nation" . . The thief point brought out by the Mac- Lean article was that' Canadians and Americans are not "just the same", in spite of the fact there are, few Canadians living who have not both relatives and friends south of the border , . . 4: * IN spite of our common idiom, these differences show up -- as they should—in the above-men- tioned magazines . These three better class magazines are doing a similar job, i.e. interpreting Try the Thrifty MARCHAND! ECONOMIZE IN YOUR HEATING PROBLEMS WITH AN EFFICIENT OIL HEATER 2 — Models — 2 3,500 CU. FT.

And with MacLeen's and thePost there is a similarity of method„ but the similarity ends there . Com- munist agents need do little un- dercover work to find, out about the state of the Union if they. read the "Post" ... For the past few years, there has been a series of articles by former politicilans, General's and Admirals, telling the world what is wrong with the U.S. and many details of its mili- •tary preparation or lack of them Now, our government tomes in for a lot of criticism too •both on political and military grounds —but here is the essential dif- ference between the American and:. Canadian method . . We "do not listen to a • lot of military or political "has-beens" ... Written criticism in Canada is by trained political writers, whose life aild training have been devoted to such work and never to our knowledge have there been the excesses in damning the powers - that -be that you find in Ameri- can journalistic or radio report- ing . . • P a Y• THIS one example shows that the Canadian way of life is on a quieter and more dignified scale You would never see "a Gen- eral MacArthur" stampeding_the Canadian political scene.. . We are a calmer people, and al- though there is a large propor- tion of the population who wage born "grits" or "tories" and will die as such, we have never yet 'seen a Conservative who would turn purple with rage at the mention of the name "St. Laurent" . . • But of the many Americans we know, we have yet to meet a Republican, who can even discuss Truman or Roose-• velt, except in such terms of damnation that their Canadian cousins wonder if they are not a bit daft , The same dif- ferences between excess and moderation are reflected through- out the two ways of life and by the magazines that interpret them . . . e: 5s OR maybe we Canadians are just backward, as one well-to-do Midwestern American doctor and his wife informed us we were when on our holidays (the Am- ericans say "vacation?') . . That was an interesting. experience and certainly given the viewpoint of that powerful group of Mid- westerners who support Taft . .

Bulteel officiat- ed.at the funeral service for the late James` Edmund ("Riley':') Johnston on Friday afternoon, August 24, 1951. Funeral was held at the Beattie Funeral Horde to Clinton Cemetery. Pallbearers were W. M. Aiken, Murray Mc- Ewan, Harry Corey; George Walker, George Roberton and Thomas Churchill, The late Mr. 'Johnston, who died in ,Clinton, August 21, in his 73rd year, after being in poor health for the past two years, was born and spent most of his life in Clinton. For a few years, he resided in Listowel, where he learned, the trade of harness sense of humor to discuss any- thing even half intelligently with such: people , .'In one breath, they say they hate England and blame her for causing both World Wars, but they like Canadians, even if we ere 'backward, and we should really be A part of the great USA to amount to any- thing . .

Of such stuff• is dictatorship made .. a: ,: a. ALL this would be funny if it were not for the fact that large segments of the Asneric.in public feel and act the same way . . The USA is the dominant world power today and Canada must needs, as does all the Western world, play along with them .. But let us do it as the strong and individualistic nation we ale. not a satellite or the 49th state ... Let us emphasize those characteristics that make us dif- ferent — our calmness, our slow- er pace ' of living, our rule -by parliament, our justice, which is conducted in the law courts, and not by press and radio—and our "backwardness" which is helping us to develop slowly but surely a great nation, without melting too many of• the mistakes that have been made in the past by other nations ... Our periodicals are helping us see the meaning of our Canadian way of life .
