Nevertheless, the greatest boom �,ost-war jewelry manufacture .Wiounded substantially on fish scales. In the past twenty years, the production of imitation pearls in North America has run into billions of pearls annually. One of the two main methods of making these is to dip glass beads in pearl essence. And, basis of pearl essence is the scales of certain fish. 1111111I IMIIIrlII111111r1I ISI111111111111■1111111Ir11M11INII I11II1Irl11/11I111I1IrlIIrlIlil lIil lIr oS"c.\\,a�GIM GIFT...

Parrish Suggests Memorial to Future in Celebration Of Confederation in Howick Township In a little over three years from now it will be the 100th birthday of Confederation. This is a very importent date for Canadian people. Confedera- tion meant the bringing togeth- er of the Provinces of Canada into a federal unit, made up of people of all races that had come to our shores. How is Howick Township go- ing to commemorate this im- portant occasion? Last year the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority took over the Gorrie Park and the old mill that was built in 18'16, the year ofCon- federation. The authority has undertaken to preserve this building, which is most com- mendable. It would be a fit- ting memorial if this mill were again fitted with equipment similar to what it was in 1876 when it served the people of this community in the manu- facture of flour, as well as chopping grain for the use of local citizens. If this was done and made ready for reopening in 1967, it would be a vivid reminder of pioneer days to all those who would visit the buil& ing in the future. What about a memorial to the future? This year a new WOINNalterg • "Export sales? We work through our local bank" Helping to move the goods that mean so much to so many Canadians is an every -day service of the chartered banks. Manufacturers, producers and ship- pers increasingly use the local bank—not only to help finance the movement of goods in and out of the country but for assistance in overcoming problems of distance, currency and regulation. Today the chartered banks are able, through their network of branches across Canada and their foreign branches, agents and representatives, to provide trad- ers and travellers with the facilities of one of the world's largest international banking systems. This world of service is available to customers of any branch in any town or city. It provides quick business com- munications, speeds delivery of goods, helps Canadian companies to compete in markets everywhere. THE CHARTERED BANKS SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY through full -range banking responsive to growing, changing needs central public school has been opened in the township. The Federal and Provincial Govern- ments are prepared to give grants to municipalities that submit plans which are a fitting and a permanent way of cele- brating the centennial of Con- federation. My suggestion is that we should build an addi- tional room with these grants, at the new school, in which the French language should be taught. The room could be known as Confederation Mem- orial Room. This may appear to many to be a radical view or suggestion, but let us view the facts. I am a civil servant in the em- ploy of the Dept. of Agricul- ture for the Federal Govern- ment. In the last few years I have seen a gradual swing in the forms we use being printed in both English and French un- til today all the forms we use are completely bilingual. Even our pay cheques are printed in both English and French. This change started taking place un- der the Government of John Diefenbaker and is continuing under the present Liberal Gov- ernment so it is not a partisan movement but a gradual swing in government policy that all Canadian Government forms are to be bilingual. Why should Howick Twp. be concerned? The Government of Canada is the largest em- ployer of labor in the country. Someday the prime minister of Canada might come' from How - ick. I believe I am safe in saying that no person in the fu- ture will be Prime Minister of Canada who cannot speak both English and French and it is pos- sible that in the future that all members of parliament may be required to be bilingual. Most of the better jobs today in the civil service require a biling- uist at the head of their depart- ment and the knowledge of both English and French may be a requirement in the future of all persons entering the employ of the federal government. For this reason alone, I believe the teaching of French in our public school would be a wonderful addition and would provide our future citizens with the ability to command the most impor- tant positions in Canada. Regardless of whether our children will be going into gov- ernment jobs or not it would be wonderful for them to know a second language. Little did I realize when going to school that someday I would visit Eur- ope, but it did happen and while in France, if it had not been for some of the French peo- ple being bilingual we would not have had a very pleasant trip. On conducted tours in Paris our guide was bilingual. The clerk in the hotel was bi- lingual. On a street car, when we got confused about the fare, a student in the car, who was bilingual, straightened this or- deal out for us. We had to leave the first cafe we entered because we could not get across our desires for a meal; at the second cafe we fared better be- cause of a bilingual waiter. About that time I wished that I had been taught at least a little French while at school. Today more and more people are travelling and a knowledge of a second language is a de- cided advantage to having an enjoyable vacation. It was also my privilege to address the R.O.P. inspectors from Quebec, in Quebec City a couple of years ago and only about a quarter of my audience understood English and my mes- sage had to be translated by an interpreter. Again I wished I had been taught French while in public school. Let us not deny these privileges to the pre- sent generation of public school children. We have three grand- children going to public school in France at present who are learning French as part of their education'and it can and should be done here. I believe our township coun- cil and school board would be well advised to explore thepos- sibilities of the grants avail- able for the construction of a new addition at the school for the teaching of French in our public school, this addition to be known as Confederation Memorial Room. If Confederation is to con- tinue in Canada, we, the Eng - Pictures Shown at Men's Fellowship The Men's Fellowship Group met on Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lou Hut- ton. There were 26 present. Mr. and Mrs. Elwell Web- ster were guests. Mr. Webster showed pictures of their trip to Alaska and Mrs. Webster gave the commentary. They were thanked by Bill Henderson. Lunch was served by Mrs. Hutton and a pleasant social time was spent. lish speaking people, are going to have to recognize the French Canadians as equal partners, in Canada and I believe the teach- ing of French would show that we are prepared to go half way in this country to achieve this end. However, I believe we should expect our French Can- adian people to do likewise and teach English in their pub- lic and high schools. You might say let them learn English. But put this question another way, "Why shouldn't we learn French?" Attend Banquet WROXETER—The Warden's Banquet for Huron County, in honour of Warden and Mrs. Walter J. Forbes, was held last Wednesday evening, in Knox Presbyterian Church, Goderich. The guest speaker was the Rt. Rev. W. A. Townshend, D.D., L.L.D. He and Warden Forbes attended school to- gether at Summerhill. Those attending from How - ick Township were Reeve and Mrs. Ivan Haskins, Deputy Reeve and Mrs. Robert Gibson, Mr. and Mrs. Art Gibson and Mr. and Mrs. Harvey McMich- ael.
