Time For Calm, Objective Approach
4
,,At a time when the topic of Canadian
unity is receiving wide attention the
words -of a leading Canadian business-
man merit more than passing attention.
Addressing the annual meeting of
the Bank of Montreal G. Arnold Hart,
swim is chairman and chief executive
officer turned to the problems facing
Canadian unity. He called for "a calm
and objective approach", and support
for "a united Canada where we can
• continue to live and work together in
harmonious accord." As the world be-
comes more and more interdependent,
• "it seems incredible . • • that Canadians
should even consider adopting within
their own country. a diametrically op-'•
posed course."
While there have been "faults on
both sides", we -should `,`bend every ef-
fort to develop a better understanding
through continuing dialogue", between
English- and French-speaking Cana-
deans, which should .pot be confined to .
..politicians, bureaucrats and academics.
"It is high time that more people de-.
'voted more of their efforts to clear
thinking on this natter and also to
c
making public their views."
"By and large, we Canadians have.
• not fully recognized theiesirability of
learning two languages, not for the purer
pose of . appeasing one group or 'anoth-
er, but rather to broaden our culture,
to give us a better understanding and
fit mus more properly for the environ-
ment in which we live," Mr. Hart stat-
ed.
While complete bilingualism is neith-
er practical nor necessary, "facilities
should be available for all Canadians to
learn the other language if they wish,
and for Canadians living in any com-
munity in Canada where both language
groulis are significantly represented to
he able to send their children, without
penalty, to schools where the language
of -instruction is the language of their
choice, whether that be French. or Eng-
lish," Mr. Hart said.
It is very true as Mr. Hart points
out that Canadian. unity is not some-
thing that ebncerns only governments
and those in governments. It is somel
thing about which, each of us 'should be
concerned and informed. '

TO THE EDITOR
Discuss Closing
Of Turners Church T
Sir:
As our centennial ye4rdraws
ndar to a close we look back on
it with some happiness and sad-
ness,but the important question
in ori community at this time
is what is going to become of
our church and why?
Turner's United Church is sit-,.
uated on Part of Lot 29, Con. 3,
H.R.S., Tuckersinith, two miles
east of 'the Canadian Forces
Base Clinton. This -church with
faithful members and loyal sup-
porters for 105 years has serv-
ed.the community well.
The total membership at the
present time . is 68, the number
of Householders is 18.
At a special congregational
meeting last week after a strong
arguement to keep the church
open .was advanced by a few
of the members, a motion to
make a special effort to im-
prove the church and not to
take a vote to close the church
before December 1, 1968, was.
defeated by 89 per of the
members present. It was heart-
breaking to me that a vote has
to be taken to close the church
without a special effort being
made to keep it open. •

In a few dap' all members
will be requested to vote on
whether you ivantR to close" the
church or not. If two-thirds of
the members that' vote are in
,favour of closing: the church,
Turner's Church 'will' closed
because of misunderstanding and
lack of faith in the future of
small country churches.
I think if a large percentage
of the members would be wil-
ling
i -ling to work together and for-
get about closing the church,
we still could- serve the com-
munity
omemunity well. We hate, no mon
ey' 4lroblems and to the beet of
my knowledge we never had an
overdraft at the bank at any
time. The only problem we have
is the small attendance due to
our small membership. I hope
every member will study the
situation well before you, mark
your. ballot.
'To all readers that are men%
bers of small churches I say
cherish and support them well
because you never know when
the faithful 'members that' at-
tend church every Sunday with
you will work behind ' your
back to shut the church door in
your face. Remember the words
of the late John Kennedy when
he said it is not what your
country can do for you, it is
what you can do for your coun-
try.
