Zurich Citizens News, 1966-03-31, Page 4CAGE FOUR ZURICH CITIZENS MEWS THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1966 Centennia Report 1961 clay SHER ENTTEN ALW. ICOMMISSIONER REPORT No. 1 When I took over the job of organizing Canada's biggest celebration in history I ran into a number of pessimists, even a few cynics. This •is the sort of line they gave me: "Canadians aren't noisy patriots. You'll have a tough job stirring up much flag waving for 1967". Well, some of their facts were correct but the spirit in which those few pessimists presented their views, to me was not what I accept as Canadian. I have travelled long and far enough in this country to know that Canadians really have strong positive feelings about their country. I could agree with some of the statements by my pessimis- tic friends if they were in a different context. Canadians are not given to wild demon- strations of patriotism in their own country. Such things can embarrass us. I believe our kind of nationalism is more thoughtful than emotional and that is why I believe so ferv- ently that our Centennial will be a successful and meaningful event in our history. Yes, we may have difficulty at times in deciding what we are, what we are for and what we are against in the world. But we know what home is and though we may be embarrassed to express it, we love our land. Perhaps I discovered this through travel abroad when I met Canadians far from home. When we are world travelling we are more apt to open up and reveal to other people our inner thoughts about our coun- try. One particular instance comes to my mind. I was breakfasting at a small hotel in London, England, a few years ago and became engaged in conversation with a young man across the table from me. He was a Canadian working at an airline office in London. With no prodding from me he poured out all his thoughts about home and about Canada. "I'm not a nationalist," he said. "In fact I'm against na- tionalism. It causes a lot of trouble in the world. That's why I like my country. We're not 'aggressive nationalists. But really, mister," he said, "It's hard to describe my feelings about my country." He thought .his feelings for his homeland was not just the house he was born in back in Ontario, nor was it necessarily his home town, It was the lake country where he used to go on canoe trips in the summer, the big rushing rivers and the roads that go forever. "I always felt if I couldn't find a job in Canada I could always go to the north country and trap and hunt—something one couldn't do over here—and at least make a living," he said. He admitted it was just a "fancy of the mind" — probably he'd starve—but Canada always gave him a feeling of security, he said. "I always felt that the Rockies or the Gaspe wilder- ness were mine, even though I didn't go there every week- end. (I only saw the Rockies once.)" The young man went on, ex- posing his mind and being very sentimental and patriotic. I thought to myself he probably would be far too •inhibited and embarrassed to talk like that back home. From now to 1967 Canadians, as individuals and in groups, large and small, are finding ways to express their true feel- ings about Canada. I'll tell you more about these in future reports. 0 SENIOR B MIXED LEAGUE Hi Hopes 2—Ivan Yungblut 497. Hawkeyes 5—Marie Gelinas 630.

She lives with my married daughter, who has offered to pay for the food. It seems there are quite a lot of hard feelings going on because my daughter and her boyfriend are only inviting me, my mar- ried daughters and their hus- bands, which makes seven; his mom and dad and five rela- tions, making seven. The rest are going to be their friends, with 30 guests in all. Now the trouble is, my broth- ers are all excited about going to the wedding, and they are not being asked. She wants one of us to tell them. Don't you think my daughter, who's paying for the food, should ask whom she wants to? Or the groom could put a little money into it, to see that the bride-to-be had her uncles there? His mom and dad offeredto give them a big wedding or the money, so he took the money, to furnish their home. Hard Feelings DEAR HARD FEELINGS — This is the bride's day and say, and you hold it in your own two hands to keep things grac- ious. If the three uncles and wives were invited, then the groom's uncles and aunts should be, shouldn't they? This be- gins to build up to quite a guest list. Hold your own family party for the uncles when the couple gets back from their honey- moon, and explain things to them ahead of time, making them welcome to see the cere- mony at the church. Just be glad your daughter has generous in-laws to furnish her house; and that another daughter is able to provide re- freshments to make things nice for her, on her "day of days". DEAR DORIS—I'm 15. I've been going steady with Bill for five months. But one day he had to move to California. Be- fore he left he asked me if I'd wait until he comes back in July. I told him I would, Haist left this past week -end on a two-week excursion to the west coast. Mr. and Mrs. Don O'Brien,• Jeff and Pam, and Mr. and Mrs. Leroy O'Brien spent Sun- day with Mr. and Mrs, Bill O'Brien and Jimmy in Simcoe. Zurich Mennonite JESUS CHRIST IS LORD JESUS CHRIST EST SEIGNEUR SUNDAY, APRIL 3 -- 10:00 a.m.--Sunday School. 11:00 a.m.--Worship Service. YOU ARE WELCOME! St. Peter's Lutheran Church Rev. A, C. Blackwell, B.A., B.D. Pastor SUNDAY, APRIL 3 -- 10:00 a.m.—Sunday School 11:00 a.m.--Worship Service You Are 'Welcome For the first couple of week- ends I stayed in. Then it start- ed getting to me, and I wanted to go out with other boys. So I wrote a ltter to Bill making an agreement that he go out with other girls and I go out with other boys until he re- turns. My mother told me not to send it because Bill has such strong feelings towards me. Doris, I like him very anuch but not "love", not the real, true love, IIe is 16, Anyway, my mother said if I wanted to go out with boys, do it without Bill knowing. The thing is, I'm scared to hurt his feelings, be- cause he gets emotional fast. He has phoned me eight times from California. Unsettled DEAR UNSETTLED — This time I disagree with mother. Honesty is the best policy, when it comes to anything as important as boy -girl relation- ships. Write hiin by all means with your suggestion; and make it clear that while you like him a lot you need much more time and experience before selecting someone to be true to. So does he. Th longer you ride under false colors, the worse the emo- tional storm is likely to be, DEAR DORIS — Is it right for a grandmother to have a shower for her daughter's baby? My daughter has no sisters or close relatives to give her a baby shower and I know she would be quite disappointed not to have one. Mother of One DEAR MOTHER — Not a shower. That would be just as improper as giving your girl a wedding shower, No relative should do this; it's too much like holding your own band out for gifts. But a good friend could do it, And you could very nicely have a reception or tea for your daughter and her baby, shortly after she brings him home.
