The Wingham Advance-Times, 1967-01-12, Page 17PASSEPORT POUR LA TERRE DES HOMMES AM* exp067 BELL LINES by K. R. Witherden your telephone manager Announcement was made a couple of weeks ago of Bell Canada's Centennial Fellowship Program. For years our Company has been interested in education projects, from the High School Science Programs to those at uni- versity level. And now, as a Centennial Year project, the Fellowship program has been established to support the further development of post-graduate education—one of the urgent needs of the Canadian educational system. I was most interested to note that the fellowships will be truly a Canadian program. They are for exceptional Ca- nadian students %Vtio plan to do graduate work in a Ca- nadian university or college. Beginning this year, 1967, this program will be administered by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada and will provide four new fellowships eadh year to assist students to achieve their educational objectives at a post-graduate level. And. there will be no restrictions as to the nature of the studies the successful candidate may pursue. Preference, how- ever, will he given to those subject aretv: which appear most directly relevant to the scientific, political, social or economic needs of Canada. We at Bell Canada hope that by commemorating the past 100 years in this way. we are also assisting some of the young Canadians who are the future of our country. I've decided to make an addition to my list of resolu- tions for 1967 After hearing a brief run-down on the bewildering variety of projects which will help celebrate 'Canada's Centennial, I think I'd better take a deep breath and "go in training" for the busiest, most exhilarating and interesting year most of us will ever experience. From the sound of things no one should he able to say "I've nothing to do" during 1967. The difficulty will come in trying to select the most interesting of the nation-wide projects in addition to our own local celebrations. Already the Confederation Train has begun its coast-to-coast tour to bring Canada's story to 63 cities and the Confederation Caravans, which tell the same story will visit 657 more communities, Ten teams of hardy Voyageurs will follow the treacherous, 3,500 cross-country route of the original Voyageurs between Alberta and Montreal. In the summer 13 teams of mountaineers will climb 13 of the highest unclimbed. unnamed peaks in the Rockies and name one for each province and the Northern Territories with the highest peak designated Centennial Peak. For snort enthusiasts, the Pan-American games will be held in Can- ada for the first time—in Winnipeg, July 22 to August 7. The RCMP will stage special performances of their famous Musical Ride. And, of course, there is Expo 67 —the fantastic spectacle of Man c1 'MS World being held in Montreal from April 28 to October 27. Expo people feel that all roads will lead to Montreal this year as mil- lions of Canadians and their guests make a visit to Expo 67 part of their Centennial Year plans, While von are there, I hope you will also visit the Telephone Association of Canada pavilion, which, I understand, is even now quickly nearing completion. There you will see an ex- citing film "Canada 67." I'll tell you more about that in another column, Sounds like a fascinating year to be a Canadian, doesn't it? I hope you enjoy just as many of the celebrations as you possibly can. WINGHANI PHONE 357-2262 ''''''V;;Wiy;001*P10'00.:',",:*')V ..;.•,,$,r, 7 t :•., •414,r.• .... •,•$..:i • L HURRY DOWN!
