Our last day of school in 1986 had a special visitor. Santa visited Kindergarten to Gr. 3, while Grades 4 to 8 had a Christmas party in the gym. When no less than two people guess the exact right weight of the Brussels merchants taking part in the Christmas promotion, Brussels Clerk-treasurer Hugh Hanly was called on to make the draw of the one lucky winner of a trip to either Las Vegas or Nashville. The winning guess belonged to Margaret Van Nes of Ethel. Here Beverley Brown, advertising manager of The Citizen, helps with the draw. - photo by Pat Langlois. The International Scene There's nothing quite like living there BY RAYMOND CANON It sometimes takes me a bit of time to take a look at the newspapers that carry my column but I generally do. I have just been reading an article by Don Bork of Watford who spent a year in Finland as part of the Rotary Club ’ s Student Exchange program and I was extremely fascinated with his comments. Having been to Finland myself, I can vouch for much that he says and, if he was able to get his tongue around the Finnish langu­ age, he was more successful than I. This language does not resemble any that I know and it created no end of problems for me. At any rate I am delighted that the Rotary Club, being internation­ al in nature, has seen fit to maintain such an exchange program since it gets young people at the age when they are most flexible and ships them off to learn the ways and language of other countries; at the same time people of the same age are able to come here and see that Canada is not a country of ice and snow although at times it might seem like that. Don discovered what many people before him have done; namely that each country has a variety of fascinating things which are generally not to be found in Canada. If, for example, he discovered the ‘sauna’ in Finland, so did land it is something that 1 retain to this day. I recommend it highly and while there is no place where I can run out sans clothes in my neighbourhood, 1 have manag­ ed to adjust to this part - a cold shower seems to do the trick. 1 have also noticed in my many travels that a goodly number of communities have paired them­ selves off with cities or towns in other countries; this, too. is an admirable step and I only wonder just how active the pairings are. It is no good if they are in name only; there has to be active exchanges so that as many people as possible can get to know the other side. In this context I have often wondered why nobody has got around to pairing off with a city in the Soviet Union. Admittedly we are not exactly enamoured with communism but during my stay in Russia I discovered that most of the people 1 talked with were extremely curious about Canada, they were not members of the communist party and they did not believe everything they were told by their government about Canada (1 certainly hope that you don’t believe everything you are told about Russia.) If we really want to do something to make the cold war a thing of the past, pairing with the Soviet Union might be worth looking into. I say this not knowing whether the Russian embassy in Ottaw a auto­ matically sidetracks any such enquiries or whether any commun­ ity in Ontario has actually asked about such a move. It would certainly, to my way of thinking, be a step in the right direction. Another suggestion that I have while on the topic is for the various service clubs or other similar organizations to have ethnic speak­ ers who are fluent enough in English to be able to explain their native country to Canadians who have never been there and who know nothing about it. How much do you really know about the Palestinian Liberation Organiza­ tion or Sri Lanka or even Portugal for that matter? It isn’t a question of you having to take as ultimate truth everything that the speaker says;heorshe is. after all, just givingapoint ofview butone which is admittedly closer to the subject than yours. I recall going to Kitchener one time to make a speech there to a groupofbusinessmen. Having just returned from the Soviet Union. I naturally spoke on mv impressions of Russia and the Russian people and in the course of the speech said some nice things about them, things which I honestly still believe. Ican’tsay thatl was totally surprised a few days later to receive a letter from the editor of the Kitchener paper in which I was attacked vehemently by somebody who had heard my speech as a lackey of the Kremlin no less. The Russian leaders will sleep more soundly tonight knowing that they have such friends in Canada as Mr. Ray Canon, concluded the letter. No kidding, that is exactly what he said! Frankly 1 don’t care how Mr. Gorbachev sleeps. In short you are going to have somebody disagree with you no matter how hard you try. So stick your neck out. Go visit a foreign country, have a foreign speaker talk to your club, find a pen pal from another country, adopt a child through the Foster Parents Plan or any number of other things that you can do to bring this world a little closer together. 1 have been writing thiscolumn forwellon to20 years and I certainly hope thatl have been able to bring the outside world to many of your doorsteps.
