WORTH V: MILESTONES
One type Of story which always
receives tive very best of our atten-
tion in this newspaper is the report
of a wedding anniversary. When-
ever it is possible we carry a picture
of the c'elelirants, and as much in-
formatio'n as possible about the
couple, their lives and their families.
There is a time -worn reference to
"flowers :for the living" — tributes
to those ,about us. while they are
here to appreciate them, which
we feel is a worthy thought. Many
of us live out our lives -without any
opportunity to accomplish spectacu-
lar things. In all. 'truth, few of us
"get into the news" until the final
act, when some enterprising writer
can pen the last words as we enter
the great beyond,
. Despite the apparent dullness of
the lies around. us, it is in the quiet
and unspectacular neighborhoods of
our smaller corn munities that the
great destinies of our nation are
continually taking shape. G2nada
is a respected and envied land, not
.merely because of its natural re-
sources, but equally because of its
hard-working a n d unassuming
people. Evert the comparative value
Of our Qcurrency is based. in large
"Tart upon the known fact that the
Canadian citizen, on the average; is
dependable. .
When one of our older married
couples reach a fiftieth or sixtieth
wedding anniiversary, we feel it is
an opportune occasion, to pay them
the, tribute which their devotion,
thrift and decent living deserve,
TWO=BARRELED
CANADIAN WISDOM
Canadian foreign policy has es-
tablished itself in the.eye $ of the
East, West, and neutral Worlds a8
One of refreshing sanity. „
In the long era of Liberal gay-
ernment8 and now in the new Con-
servative administration a wise pol-
icy of inflexible devotion to Western
unity has been' paired with a' flex-
ible attitude toward Communist
moves.
The last 'fortnight witnessed a
further -buttressing of this d'oub1
' barreled policy.
,External Affairs Minister Sidney
Smith, testifying before a parlia-
mentary committee, stated: 'It is
-not the view of the Canadian Gov-
ernment that we should always say
'n6' or `nYet) to a'Russian proposal."
He professed distress at Washing-
ton's seemingly automatic rejection
of a recent Soviet proposal for a top-
level meeting of the big powers. He
believed, he said, that friction be-
tween the Soviet Union and the
West could be lessened by patient
negotiation.
Now, this attitude by itself
would be classified in some qiihrters
as dealing from weakness — admit-
, ting that since the Soviets have
proved their technological strength
the West must sue for terms.
Ent there Can be no question Of
this when Mi-, Smith says at the
same time: J`No one should think
of letting down his guard ; no
prudent man can deny the need. for
defense. insurance . Coexistence
cannot be 'used as a cover -for sub-
version on the part of the U.S.S.R,",
rurther assurance of this deter-
mination to in Canadian
strength came from Defense Minis-
ter George Pearkes just two days
later, T -Te told the House of Com-
mons that it was absolutely :pssential,
to .maintain current 'defense spend-
ing as a precaution against it sudden „
and, devastating World war,
Mr, Smith said he was urging
Canadians to "keep prir powder dry
and put the hand out." Mr. Pea rk e s
