Ontario Chamber President
Urges More Responsibility
(continued from page 1)
and management avoid strong
government intervention at an
early date."
"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
