SINGLE COPIES — 10 CENTS EACH Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, June 23, 1966 Seaforth Area Students dol Good Job Young people today, like young people of every era in the past, are subjected to criticism for what they do and equally often for what they don't do. Their elders, taking refuge behind what frequently are failing memories, suggest ° that never before .were the. youth so Lacking in concern. Perhaps all that the youth of today or of any day requires is a little en- couragement and guidance. That this is the case is indicated by the results of the recent cancer campaign in Sea - forth. For several year now the campaign has been carried out by pupils of the Seaforth District High School. True the overall mechanics . of the carnpaign are spelled out by the experienced members of the area campaign com- mittee but the students themselves de- termine the details. They decide the hreas to be allotted to each, canvasser dnd the way the returns will be hand- led. They set the deadline for comple- tion and provide the impetus that en- courages the odd laggard. All this added up to a successful campaign that produced $2,366 to aid in the fight against cancer. In the face of such results who says the youth of today can't do a job? • Lions Carnival Deser ves Support There is no doubt the Seaforth Lions Park is appreciated by the people of the district. The • children and adults who singly and in the • hundreds are daily visitors during the summer sea- son are sufficient proof. It is true the public by its use of the park facilities indicates the park is ap- preciated. But there is a special time during these months when this apprec- iation can be shown in a more tangible fashion. This time—annual Summer Carnival time—is now at hand. Again this year the dates of the car- nival have been advanced to. over the July 1st holiday—Wednesday, and Thursday, June 29th an 30th, and Friday, July 1st, with special_ emphasis being placed on the July 1st holiday, with both afternoon and evening pro- grams. It is during these three days and in the days between now and the carnival that the public has the opportunity of co-operating . with the Lions Club in the work it is doing. During recent years increasing cosh; of everything that goes into the main- tenance and operation of Seaforth Lions Park have made more difficult the task of the Lions 'C,Iub. So • it becomes in- creasingly important that there be a large measure of support by . the pub- lic. Only in this way can the standard of maintenance, which has been a fea- ture of the Park for so many years, be maintained. -- It is true there may be those who for one reason or another will be un- able to attend the carnival. But this doesn't mean these people can't play a part: Everybody can participate byT'taking advantage of the advance sale of ad- mission tickets. The admission tickets —three for $1—are available in ad- vance at most Seaforth and area stores. CANADA'S CENTURY A news background special on the Centennial of Confederation Nationhood First, Independence Later (Fifth Of A Series) By WALT McDAYTER • Canada achieved nationhood in 1867, but it was many years before she achieved complete independence. With Confederation, Canada gained almost total control over her own internal development, but Britain allowed her almost no independence in external af- fairs. • Canada's relations with for- eign countries, in trade and di- plomacy, remahrd entirely de- pendent on policy framed in England. Further, Britain re- tained the right to disallow any legislation passed in the new na- ' tion, and without Canada's, con- sent, could pass laws that would be binding on her people. But the growth of Canada into a totally sovereige state, with the right to control her own des- tiny in all spheres, was inevita- ble. The first step toward freedom in foreign affairs was taken by John A. Macdonald in 187i. He It was .wider Wilfrid Laur'fer that that* Canadian Eitternal Affattrti ,de artttient Witt esita'b.' ,r.. r11►itdwho doted telniiilott bf the ititertist. tislaal Jaint 'Coiai f s1orin, tb .bet»' dor, .. was appointed as one £ of the British delegates to Washington, to discuss grievances Caused by the Civil War. For the first time, a Canadian was allowed to present the Canadian case at an international conference. Un- fortunately, though it .was pre- sented, it was pretty much ig- nored.' It was in 1897 that Canada for the first time proved_ die had a will of her own, and that the youthful offspring had grown in- dependent enough to resist the pressure of even her imperial motherland. At the Colonial. Conference in London, Colonial Secretary Joseph. Chamberlain proposed that the entire Empire be unified under a -tingle central government. Prime Minister Wilfrid' Laurier would have none of it. Realizing this would spell an end to Canadian political au- tonomy, he led a revolt against this idea, and the proposal died stillborn. - During the Boer War, Laurier" shocked the usually unshockable British by . declaring that al- though Canada • was automati- cally at war at the same time as the mother country, It was up -to the Dominion to decide how much she would contribute. Robert Borden in World War I went one step further, contend- ing -that since banada was •con- tributing to the war, her govern- ment must be kept informed on war policy, it turned out that Canada was not only kept in- formed, but by being represent.. ed on the imperial War Cabinet, actually played a pti t in form- ing the policy, • After the war, our stature crew greater in the eyes of the World when one own delegattdit signed the peace treaty at Ver. b 111E1r, t Cio(ada'>e' fntilotenee. rd initial ond• ;� addition, � %d• �, *Wanda Si'an .lndlviitgal Mon, y bat to the League of Nations,' 'Ben Canada, AM the Wed Symbol of Canada's independ- ence. States signed the Halibut Treaty of 1923, the British Ambassador to Washington was peeved to learn that he would not be al- lowed to sign this treaty on be- half of the British government. Canada maintained this was purely of Canadian concern. The 'greatest landmark of all on the road to independence came in 1931, with the passing of the Statute of Westminster. By this act, Britain lost the power to disallow Canadian leg= islation, and could no longer enact laws •which would be bind!. ing .on Canada. There were additional gains: in 1947. for the first time we were able to call ourselves "Canadian Citizens", and tot just British -subjects; in 1949, our federal parliament gained the power to amend our consti- tution over federal matters; and -that same year the Supreme Court of Canada became the fi- nal court of appeal, 'replacing the British Privy' Council. Todav, Canada stands tali with the other free nations of die world.

You know the sort of place: per- haps 83 veer -round residents, and once the weather warms, about 10,000 par -boiled foreign- ers every weekend and all through July and August. not my cup of tea, but such • a resort has something. There's a carnival exeitment for the teenager. And for fam- ley groups and the middle-aged, it means getting away from the city, • yet not having to cope with wild, frightening silence of the real country. - Sun and sand and sky at theseplaces are magnificent. So are some of the bronzed, bikini - clad' goddesses wriggling past the penny arcades and shooting galleries. Blit it isn't these things that give the beach village its atmos- phere. No, it's a compound of other things that make them fasinating. There are the wonderful smells: hamburgers frying; stale beer; gasoline fumes; fish; faul- ty septic tanks. There are the fresh -air sounds:'-- eight thousand gulls fighting over garbage; the squeal of tires and vroom of ex- hausts as the 'punks scatter kids like quail; the whine of power boats beheading swimmers. ' And of course there are the sights. Here the pen falters. Words alone cannot convey the impression of that pink, pot-bel- Iied man in the purple sport shirt, that lavish lady whose slacks match exactly her orange hair. Nor do the beach villages• neglect the sense of touch: There's the stove -hot, sticky as - halt underfoot. There's the ool thrill of bare feet on some id's dropped popsicle. There's he satisfying crunch underfoot f a half -eaten bag of potato hips. I'm not knocking ,these places. hey have their own charm, ike zgos. At any rate, there we ere, heading for this beach vil- age, which lies across • our route to Granny's. And sudd'n- y they., started, to batter ,past us, in pairs, in threes, in gaggles of five or six: the motorcycle angs. There were at least three different ones, with Stich names Mr. Andrew Govenlock, Win- throp, W. M. Govenlock and Mrs. William Finlayson of Eg- mondville left for Manitoba. Mr: Andrew Govenlock intends going as far west as the coast. Mr. Alexander Barrow .• of McKillop left on a visit to King- ston' and Osinego, where: he has friends. This, is rylr. Barrow's first trip on the cess, although he has been a resident 'of Mc- Killop for forty years.

He has brought • us a sample of two varieties, Rhode Island Greenings and Northern Spies of, last • year's growth, which have been kept in his cellar all winter •and they are still nearly as firm, juicy and well flavoured as when taken from the trees. • - Mr. • William Prendergast, mathematics teacher in the Collegiate Institute intends spending his holidays in• the, old• country. He will sail by one of the Allan steamers from Montreal. Mr. Robert Winter's horse broke• loose from its moorings at .

My family was enthralled, just watching them fly by, black jackets, cowboy boots, dark glasses. We stopped in the village to iluy something. The invasion was -on. They were everywhere. The storekeeper groaned when ,I mentioned it, " f sure hope they don't start nothin a" We got a closer 'look. My wife was appaled, She'd never seen such a collection of females in her life. Greasy hair, dirty clothes and a built-ui chip on the shoulder. I guess it's `diffi- cult -to stay dainty' on the . back of a motorbike, but they did look like a jam of tails. from a Glasgow slum. • . The rnen were equally inter- esting. You could : tell them from the girls because„ they hadn't taken. •off their leather jackets to expose every 'melt of legal flesh. They were obviously iate the beer already, but they weren't having any fun. They weren't relaxed; they were tense, They didn't walk; they swaggered. They didn't laugh; they sneered. Big, burly brutes, dirty, long- haired. Iemust admit they gave i me a small, cold chill down the back. • Nothing happened. We were- n't beaten up -or-- insulted: We drove off, glad we weren't stay- ing there. Next day, I heard there'd been quite a rumble at that village. • Ori the way home, over the same route, we were wondering whether they had left. There didn't seem to be any sign of them. Then we turned a corner. There • was a big crowd in the middle of the road. A policeman waved us by. On the pavement were two bodies, covered with blankets. But you could see the cowboy boots sticking out. A greasy -haired girl creiiched, stroking the face of one of the young men lying there. I don't know whether they were dead.
