There Also is. Hate in Canada
As Canadians we have watched the
tragic happenings of recent weeks. in
the United States rather smug in our
self assurance that such -likings couldn't
or wouldn't happen in Canada.
We have, perhaps, less violence in
Canada. At the same time we have in-
dicated a capacity to generate a degree
of hero worship for certain of our pub-
lic figures comparable to anything seen
in the States. Such passion is all very
good but sometimes it developes or is
encouraged as hatred and when this
happens, as was the case in the death
of Senator Kennedy, then it becomes
something a tormented mind can no
longer carry. Murder too often is the
result.
' The Toronto Globe and Mail in an
editorial titled "Canada, too, has hate-
ful seedbed of violence" finds a pare-
lell to what is happening in the current
election campaign with the recent tra-
gic happenings in the United States and
puts it in these words:
• "Yet we are not without the hates
that power the U.S. violence; and in
this election campaign it is evident that
we are not.
"The mails in this -campaign are be-
ing flooded—to an extent they have
' not been flooded in other campaigns—
with pamphlets attacking the leader of
the Liberal Party. Whispering cam-
paigns of a particularly organized and,,
odious nature are being mounted in
parts of the nation. The Newfie jokes
have been i•eplaced by political jokes of
a vicious sort.
"Such manifestations, generally be-
fore directed against particular reg-
ions, racial or ethnic groups, have been
nastily with us for a long time. But the
scale of the present efforts seems larg-
er. Distribution is heaviest in Nova
Scotia and the Western provinces, but
is substantial across the whole country.
A good bit of money is being,spent.
"The techniques employed by the pam-
phleteers are insidious. Mixed in most
of them is some truth, some actual quo-
tation from a reputable source, so that
the gullible or the ignorant may be per-
suaded, may at least have their doubts
raised. The truth, however, is either so
partial as to be, in fact, untruth, or
given its point by adjoining lie; the quo-
tations are out of Context, as related
either to material or to time."
Huron riding has not escaped this
hate campaign and there are people
here as in other ridings across Ontario.
who in 'their ignorance slyly peddle
their malicious , material, blind to the
possibility that the words they circu-
late may give some disturbed persons
with a grievance the spark that could
lead to tragedy. It can and already has
happened here in the mail_ boxes in
Quebec and in the House of Commons.
The Globe and Mail concludes in• this
manner :
"Canada is not, in ,fact, in a position
to draw back distastefully from the Un-
ited States and say that it could not
happen here. The flood of whispers,
vicious 'jokes and pamphlets are irri-
gating a bed from which violence'could
grow.
"Decent Canadians ' will rebuke—as
the Opposition parties have rebuked—
the whisperers and the jokesters, and
remove the pamphlets—with tongs—
to the waste baskets."

ME AND CHARLIE
How would you like to be
17, spring -time, and sick? Well,
my daughter doesn't like if
much, either. She's been coop-
ed up in the house for about
six weeks, while the sun grows •
warmer, the grass greener, the
leaves leafier, and the juices of
17-year-olds course through
their blood -stream.
Mononucleosis. Never heard
of it? Neither had I, until it
entered our domain. It was as
remote as malaria, hepatitis and
jungle mouth. But it seems
that everybody I meet has a
niece or granddaughter who has
had it. These people almost in-
variably tell you that it takes
about a year to get over it.
Then there are the others,
who don't know anything about
it, except, and they chortle, it's
known as The Kissing Disease.
I have been told this at least
eight times a day since Kim
came down the scourge, and the
next person 'Who uses the term,
even if it's .a sweet, little, old
gray-h'aired lady, is going to get
a punch rightinthe nose. I'm
absolutely, • certain that my
daughter has never kissed any-
body in her life except ,her
dear old Mum and Dad. Well,
fairly certain.
Picture a caged tigress, eyes
'burning with yearning- for a
good bite out of some of that
life walking by the cage, and
you have Kim. Then picture
the same tigress toppling over
on her side and rolling up her
eyes until only the whites are
showing, and you also have
Kim.
• It's a most peculiar business.
It seems to occur to those who
become run down, physically
and emotionally. A lot of col-
lege students incur the thing
in the Spring, when the pres-
sures are heavy, exams are
looming, and they are general-
ly pooped.
Some of my best friends have
suggested that Kim was in a
weakened condition from eat-
ing my cooking all winter. This
is a dirty lie. She put on weight.
One of the frustrating things
about it is that there's no medi-
cation or cure for it, except
time and the body's natural re-
silience. 11 would suggest that,
if your body has no natural
resilience, if you can't touch
your toes, you're .a candidate.
Put that in your throat ' and
lump it.
Perhaps the worst thing
about Kim's condition is that
her sleeping schedule is all out
of whack. She can sleep until 2
p.m., and about nine o'clock at
night begins to come alive and
pads around the cage until the
'tiny hours, switching lights on
and off, flushing things, and
playing records. • Gets to sleep
at five a.m. and is dead for 12
hours.

course, to post-operative eases
and kids with mono. I'll be an
expert, and might as well cash
in, if I have to do the cooking
and hohsework anyway.
I guess I shouldn't kick. I
haven't the gut to keep a den-
tal appointment. I am turned
to stone at the sight of a hy-
podermic needle.

From My Window
By Shirley J. Kellar
On Sunday the nation will pay
tribute to the fathers of this
country and I would like, to
take this opportunity to give
public recognition to my hus-
band—the daddy of my three
children.
By some standards I, guess my
man is a bust. He's not six feet
tall or better. He isn't a foot-
ball great. He's far from a ro-
mantic lover. He's never
brought me flowers. In fact, of
all the men I know he is prob-
ably the least likely -to qualify
for a" "heart -breaker" award. '
But in my books my husband
is the greatest.
You gals are just going to eat
your hearts out. when I tell you
that my husband doesn't mind
scrubbing floors. It's true. My
husband is happiest when he's
down on -his knees with a pail
of soapy water and a scrub rag.
I seldom have to ask'him to do
it -- I certainly never need to
beg him. Most often he volun-
teers, especially if he knows
•I've had .a hard time with the
kids or some equal disaster has
struck.
You see my husband believes
that if • a woman works away
from home to help maintain a
balanced ,budget in the house-
hold she -should get some spe-
cial consideration from the man
' for whom she is slavjng. If a
wife holds down a job to make
her hubby appear more success-
ful in the eyes of the world at
large, my huSband agrees that
the least that man can do is to
pitch in with the dishes and the
window cleaning and whatever
„ other chores need doing.
Malay husband lets me han-
dle the household aceounts.
Many of you- fellows are go-
ing to scoff. Some may say
that!s a sign of weakness in a
man if he allows his wife to
hold the purse Strings. Broth-
er! Have you a lot to learn.
About five years ago now my
husband and I came to the real-
ization that my talents were
better suited to managing mon-
ey. That's. no Slight on my hus-
band. He has much more abili-
tigress.
This is not enough. My wife
is akout to undergo an opera-'
tion, and even though she
hasn't had it yet, she's an ex-
pert. She has talked to about
20 women who have had it,
and entertains me with gay
little details about overies and
uteruses and stuff daily. Usual-
ly `at meal hours.
Every time the phone rings
she breaks 'into a cold sweat
and palpitations. I called from
work at lunch.hour tho etber
day # to ask whether it was
warth•while coming home for a
One of the very niced thingS
about My man is that he wants
me to be happy. He under-
stands my need for shopping
trips and Shakespeare and a
new dress for the women's chtb
dinner and that crazy hat he
hates. Ile" doesn't expect me to
sit at home while he plays car&
with the boys every other night
of the week but he is content
to babysit occasionally when I
have an evening planned': with
the girls.
I've learned that boxes of
candy and aMorotts whispering
and fine manners do het nee.
essarily make a happy situation.
in a home where man and wife
must dwell togetherthrough
chicken pox and unemployment.
I've also come to the conclusion
that if a woman is lucky enough
to have snagged onto a depend-
able loving man she should
treat him as her most precious
gift.
On Sunday morning give dad
his due. Greet the guy with a
cheery smile and a special
breakfast. Remind your kids to
show their respect and love for
the fellow who pays the bills
and shoulders the responsibil-
ity. Listen to the ball game
with him if that's what he
wants. Get him a blanket when
he falls asleeep in.the chair af-
ter dinner. •
He's a wonderful man, that
husband of yours. And most
marvellous of all, he loves you,
too, That makes everything
roses.
