"In my discussions with today'si young people, it seems to me they put strong emphasis on these three constituents of a truly dem-' ocratic society - Humanity, Reason and Just Dealing, " he' explained. They determine how well we measure up in respect to these by what is taught in our institutions of education and by what is reported in our media. This, therefore, places a strong moral responsibility on our ed- ucators and those responsible for reporting events through the various media." "It is necessary, in view of the ever increasing impact of these key people in our lives, that they be persons of the high- est possible integrity and object- ivity. Accepting the fact that news has got to be digested in order to fill the space and time available, it is, (if not now, rapidly becoming so) a position of absolute public trust one holds when he or she is the decision maker - as to what will appear or not appear in that portion of the mass media over which he has editorial control, or as to what will be taught or not taught. The reporter himself and the camera man can influ- ence public opinion by his decis- ion on what he reports of what he sees, or decides just what part of an event will be recorded on film. And likewise, with a teacher or lecturer when he decides what will be covered and not covered in a course of study." Mr. Kellow went on to say, " In the final analysis, in terms of the freedoms we uphold, we must leave it to the media spoke men and the educators to remove the biases which are evident in the stance they take. This resp- onsibility cannot be legislated in a free society, and this is at once our greatest strength and our greatest weakness." "Your Ontario Chamber of Commerce has for several years been involved in a number of projects which try to meet these issues, " Mr. Kellow said. "Such programmes as the Generation Bridge, Operation Placement and our Report regarding the Decline of Respect for Law and Order - all of which are recent and current programmes. There are others." "I am sure that a dialogue with our youth today is one of the most important things with which; we can concern ourselves --and by dialogue, I dbmean for us to Tell and Sell, but for both part- icipants to try and Listen with ' Understanding, " he added. "I think we can do much to avoid future violence, by opening up such opportunities for dialogue on a continuing basis. Your Ontario Chamber of Commerce initiated a Generation Bridge Programme a year ago. Several Chambers throughout the province have since initiated similar projects in their own communities, but not nearly enough Chambers have addressed themselves to this great opportunity, and it's time they did so." Mr. Kellow concluded his re- marks by saying, "Youngsters now entering high school, will just be pasting middle age when the New Year of the year 2000 is rung in. Will they enter that year realizing the dream of which I spoke earlier? Will they enter it as members of a free society in which the Rule of Law prevails and is respected? -- Or will they enter it as members of the embattled herd, in the midst of violence, and anarchy, and enslavement? It will then be too late, for it is useless to Plan Dairy Day At H6ron Park In Early June Plans are well underway for the 1971 Dairy Day for Western Ontario dairy farmers. The program will be held on Tuesday, June 1, at Centralia College of Agricultural Technology, Huron Park.
