St. Columban
BY CECILIA RYAN
345-2023
The December meeting of the St.
Columban Catholic Women's
ui�gtie was held on December 10
the parish hall in conjunction
with the annual Christmas dinner.
Convenors for this event were
Maria Volgels and Ann (Ken)
Murray. On arrival the ladies en-
joyed a glass of hot apple cider.
Maria Volgels, president, wel-
comed everyone and following
grace led by Sister Rita Coyne,
everyone enjoyed a hot turkey and
beef dinner, Christmas pudding,
pies with all the trimmings, catered
by Greco Campbell.
The hall and stage were beautiful-
ly decorated including a Christmas
tree with homemade decorations
and a ceramic nativity scene with
Gatt

Christmas music playing m the
background.
Following the dinner three ladies,
Carol Ryan, Eleanor Maloney and
Claire Murray were presented with
25 year pins by Mary Coyne and
three ladies, Mildred Cronin, Mary
Diegel and Colleen 'Cronin, who
have moved to other areas were
presented with a mass offering.
Diane Elston made the presentation.
In lieu of the gift exchange the
ladies gave a donation to the
Children's Aid Society.
Father Hardy, unable to be
present, and Sister Rita Coyne were
each given a gift of money on
behalf of the C.W.L. for their
spiritual guidance.
With the holiday season here, 1
would appreciate anyone with
guests or if you are doing some
travelling, give me a call or drop
me a note. Your friends and
relatives enjoy reading about the
things going on in their home sur-
rounding.
Best wishes to everyone for a
happy, healthy and safe holiday.

HONORED FOR SERVICE - Chief Petty Officer Jon. C. Fraiser,

unemployed in the
industrial cities.
France alone spends 2/. of its
gross national revenue to support
their farmers. Because of this high
level of government subsidization,
the farmers overproduce and dump
their surpluses on the world market
at ridiculously low prices. This
situation seems unlikely to change,
even with extension of the GATT
talks until March, 1991.
Quebec is mainly into supply
management as compared with the
western Canadian provinces. Its
dairy and poultry producers ap-
parently want the level of sub-
sidization to stay as it is, and they
have no thought for the dilemma of
the western grain farmer. In On-
tario we have both kinds of
farmers, and that is why we want
the level of subsidization to be
lowered to a point where the grain
industry can make a fair profit by
selling product on a "real" world
market, where the prices are not
distorted by the killing subsidies
that other countries use to capture
the buyers. At the same time, we
seek protection for Article 11 of the
agreement - protection for supply
management commodities so that
they can continue to make a fair
profit and supply these perishable
products to the Canadian domestic
market.
It shows disloyalty to one's fel-
low fanner kind of an "I'm all
right. Jack, and to hell with you"
attitude for one part of the farm
sector to campaign selfishly for the
opposition, ignoring the plight of
their fellow farmers and the total
effect on the whole country.
Canada can't afford to match sub-
sidies with Europe and USA. These
are the same Quebec farmers that
benefitted from government sub-
sidized CN rates to import cheap
USA corn several months ago, by -
Ontario corn that we would
ve dearly loved to sell. Who's on
whose side in this country anyway?
Last week CBC's Journal inter-
viewed Jean Parizeau, leader of
Quebec's Separation Party, fol-
lowing a speech that he gave to
business leaders in Tomtit°. It was
chilling. Mr. Parizeau spoke of the
minimum requirements that Quebec
would keep after separation from
the rest of Canada. He didn't say
"ir or "why he just assumed that
it was a done deal, and that after a
period of national breast -beating
and patriotic emotion the
negotiators would begin to carve up
the pie. He didn't know who would
sre!ak far the rest of Canada: that
was our problem, nes his.
Right now the tide of separation
is sweeping through Quebec. In-
dustries, including agriculture's
UPA have spoken out in favour of
breaking up the country. Premier
Bourassa is ill, Claude Ryan is old,
Pierre Trudeau is not talking, and
Jean Chretien has a lot of ground to
cover before he can defend
federalism in "la belle Province".
We're not sure where P.M. Mul-
roney stands since his Meech Lake
fiasco, and so the separatists Lucien
Bouchard and Jean Parizeau have
free rein to push their province and
the country toward an outcome that
we do not want. What is the
definition of "treason" in these
modern times?
Why are there walls between the
provinces? Why do we seem so
distant from Quebec? Why do we
only talk to these Quebec
Canadians (ordinary people like you
and me) through politicians whom
we no longer like or trust?
Opportunities to share our com-
mon ground have been lost by
government decisions to separate
our direction and experience. For
example, why have CBC services
been divided into French and
English? Music has no language
and by alternately hearing another
tongue, we could increase our bilin-
gualism. We have paid dearly to
have French in our schools, but
then find no chance to use it except
to read the back of cereal boxed:
Somehow, tourism and cultural
exchange of music, ideas and per-
sonalities between the two provin-
ces has not been encouraged.
And it is not all our fault. We are
mostly well-meaning folk and we
have tried to think of Canada as a
country of ten equal provinces
representing many ethnic cultures.
Quebec does not want to be a part
of the mosaic. It wants to preserve
and refine the French culture
exclusively and be separate as
Quebecois, rather than Canadians. It
really doesn't want to be an equal
