By Bill
CANADA IS AN ADOLESCENT
Well, give or take a day or two, and Canada is 102 years
old, A man of that age is an ancient, either wise or senile. digni•
fied or drooling. A country of that age is just a pup.
Question: Is Canada senile and drooling, at the age of a
pup? Some think so. I don't.
More than anything, our country is an adolescent,. It has
all the best and worst features of that peculiar breed.
It is easily fired to jealousy, self•doubting, suspicious.
lacking in self.condidence, shy one minute and bold as brass the
next, opinionated without knowing much, conformist and rebel-
lious, anxious for approval and deeply wounded when it is not un.
derstood, idealistic and materialistic. In short, a typical teenager,
all mixed up. Tremendous potential, but no clear idea of where it
is going.
Older brother, who used to seem content to work the farm
and go to church, has gone all weird. He gets sore now when you
call him the old nicknames like Peasoup or Froggy. He demands
a voice in management of the farm and threatens to leave and set
up on his own, if he doesn't get it.
It's ;probably because he has fallen in with bad company —
a gang interested in bombs and folk -singing and poetry and free•
dom and all that sort of disturbing stuff.
Little brother, who used to be content to sit in his playpen
and feed on scraps, and be happy if his diapers were changed
once in a while, has also become belligerent,.
Instead of smiling when you give him a morsel, he has ta-
ken to blowing on his Kahn•Tineta Horn and rattling the bars of
his ca•uh, playpen and scowling and hollering "Discrimination;"
if he doesn't get a share of the goodies — right now.
Second cousins out west, up to their ears In wheat and oil
and $1.69 steaks, are also deeply and vocally resentful because
Grandpa told their fathers, "Go West, young punks, go West," They
feel that they should still get a cut of the old family farm's income,
back East.
Down East, Uncle Hiram is fed up with fishing and rum,
and is sending his sons and daughters to visit, permanently, as soon
as they are old enough.
Even up North, those ex -Siberian cousins who were here
first. are beginning to bellow instead of grin happily. Not content
with having ruined the sleigh.dog industry, they want jam on their
blubber.
Right in the heart of the country, Uncle Charlie, smooth
and debonair as ever, is patting everyone on the back with one
hand and lifting his wallet'with the other.
In Ottawa, Daddy, who has taken to wearing his hair in a
peculiar way and being photographed with striking young ladies,
is saying things, as he always did, which sound very profound, until
you try to remember what he said,
No wonder Canada is an adolescent: uptight, bewildered,
belligerent. He's beginning to feel as though he comes from a bro-
ken home. And he feels pretty rotten when he thinks of the good
old days when the family was one big happy family ,
He's glad for his cousins out West, though he's switched
to fish and poultry. He's leery of his older brother, who's become
so hard to get along with, He's sorry for his Uncle Hiram's kids,
but wishes there weren't so many of them coining to visit,
He wishes the kid brother in the iplaypen would stop rat-
tling the bars and climb out and help feed the chickens, And that
Uncle Charlie wasn't so slick, and that Daddy, up in Ottawa, would
stop giving him an allowance and then borrowing most of it back,
without interest,
Perhaps most of all, he wishes Uncle Sam would stop be.
ing soavuncular and at the same time bellicose, Sometimes, he
wishes he still had a Momma.
Today, it's tough to be an adolescent,

THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE
By
Raymond Canon .
1VIiA'1 TO 1)0 WITH A
SURi'PLUS OF WHEAT?
Farmers seem to be in the news
i,iore these days than, they norm•
ally are, what with the rejection
of the General Farm Organiza-
''.on, and the price of beef in most
''anadian stores. •1 don't. have too
much to say about the G.F.O. at
..his moment, but 1 would like to
!hrow in a few words about the.
,'tither pathetic situation of wheat
fight now and its possible connec•
tions with the beef industry. •
Wheat is synonymous with Can.
ada and one of the reasons we
have enjoyed so much prosperity
these past few years is that we
have managed to sell so much
wheat and other grain products •—
egoecially to Communist count•
ries. Along with our traditional
customers, farmers have managed
to ship hundreds of millions of
dollars of wheat both to Red
China and the Moscow bloc
countries -- and the fact that they
both purchase Canadian wheat
must surely be one of the few
things they have in common.
In fact, it may he of interest to
note that it is cheaper for Rus•
is to buy wheat from Canada and
have it shipped by boat to Vladi•
vostock in Siberia than it is to
grow it in the Ukraine and ship
,by the Trans Siberian Railway
••11 the way to Eastern Siberia.
But then it's cheaper for the re -
idents of Vancouver to buy a lot
f things in the United States ra-
''icr than have them shipped all
the way across Canada.
Anyway the wheat famers of
'his country are now in trouble,
and the fact •is that they know it,
:lid have for some time. The
r'uestion is how long this trouble
i.; going to last and how much it
i3 going to affect our economy.
Ask a wheat farmer what is
':prong and he will reply that just
::bout everything is. He isn't far
wrong either. 'I'he industry has
1,een hit by just about everything
°'ort can imagine. Falling prices
?n the world market, rising costs
of production, higher interest
rates on loans increased macbin•
ery prices and no makings of a
market for grains other than
wheat. Our sales of wheat drop -
;ted about 11 % this past year, and
the total loss over a two year per-
iod will result in about a 250.500
million bushel drop, or a loss of
about $500,000,000 in sales. You
can't reduce sales by that much
and not have some people suffer.
The farmers in some areas are
not helping the situation much
either by seeding just about the
same acreage that they have in
the past. The fact that Canada Is
producing much more wheat than
we can sell has apparently not
sunk in, and especially in Alberta,
where seeding are just about the
same as in previous years. The

government hail hoped that a
campaign to reduce acreage plan•
led would have far better results
than it seems to have had. Per•
haps these same farmers believe
that good t.inies are just around
the corner, and by some miracle
the Communists are going to start
buying up large quantities of
wheat again. If they are, nobody
knows about it as yet.,
Perhaps some of the wheat
farmers can change over to live•
stock and cash in on all the in•
Elated beef prices that are the
rule these days. It wouldn't he
a bad idea if this were made in
the form of a positive suggestion
by the governnie.nt. It would eel•
thinly go a long way toward help•
ing to reduce the price of beef,
and would give the farmers some•
thing to do until the Wheat Board
can get rid of some of that sur-
plus grain that is piled up all ov.
or the country.

The Legislature is recessing
the end of this week and, so, this
will be my last report until the
fall. 1 will, therefore, try and
give 0 capsule summary of the
Legislative •highlights which took
place this week.
The Legislature this week gave
approval in principle, Committee
of the Whole House approval, and
third reading to a bill which will
bring Ontario into the federal
medicare scheme on October lst.

ted only 43.8 per cent in favour,
far short of the 60 per cent it
needed to pass.

The Ontario Ford Council tab!•
ed its report into beef prices and
indicated the high price was due
to a scarcity of beef on the North
American Continent.
The report. further said, "Our
research into the trade pricing of
beef does not show evidence of
exploitation although it is noted
that while the price of live and
carcass beef has eased in the last
two weeks, average retail prices
continued on an upward trend."
Major changes in Ontario's
assessment laws and procedures
were proposed this week in the
Legislature by .Municipal Affairs
Minister, Darcy McKeough.
IIe introduced a new Assess.
ment Act which, he says, is the
most significant revision in 65
years. The changes are designed
to create "the cornerstone • of .re.
form for our system and struct•
ures of local government."
