S. ATKEY, Editor � • A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant n THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1951 Fostering National Unity PRESIDENT SIDNEY SMITH of the . Uni- versity of Toronto has announced that the Chief Justice of Canada, Rt, Hon. Thibaut au Rinfret, will give this year's Duncan and Gray Memorial Lecture at the University on. Wednesday, January 24. Thus another of French Canada's illustrious'sons will help to fulfil the lectureship's purpose by "fostering, a clearer understanding of the contribution ' that the French Canadian element of out popula tion has made and is making in Canada in the hope that with wider knowledge a sounder Canadian citizenship May dewlap." In the words of Dr. Smith, "No lecture- ship in the University has been more finely tioneejved" It Was established by George L. Gray, School Inspector of the Ontario Depart - exit of Education, who has officiated at Clin- ton), District Collegiate Institute on a number of occasions, as a memorial to his two sons. Both died. during World War IT, one of them— John—on active service with the RCAF. It was John who. shortly before going overseas, spent a summer with a French Canadian farm family on the Ile d 1 ea dame fired with a determination to take part in some definitive effort to bring abopt better understanding' between French and English Canadians. And there he was joined for the:', the last part of the siunmer by his brother, both of whom wholeheartedly sup- ported his views. "To record the names of the lecturers under; this foundation," said Dr. Smith, "is in itself to provide cogent evidence of the distin- ctive aontribution that French Canada is mak- ing to the nation' The first lecturer was the Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent` He wes fol- lowed by L'Abbe Arthur Maheux, Madame Pierre -F. Casgrain, and the Most Reverend Maurice Roy. Archbishop of Quebec. The name of Canada's Chief Justice is truly. a worthy addition to this list' of French Can- ' ada's first citizens, And his address is being given at a moment when Canedians of all racial and religious backgrounds are aware, as perhaps never before, of the need for na- tional unity. Pheasants -.Survival During Winter ARE THERE SOME PHEASANTS in your for the asking. Now, we have the food, next area this winter? If there'are, why not help • them survive the blizzards of our typical On- tario winter? What the birds need most. at this time of year is food, according to the' Ontario De- partment of Lands and Forests. Their natural pickings are almost all covered with snow and Ike, and food is scarce fqr au game birds. With a small amount of effort and very little expense, you can insure a large survival of your local birds. Within a short distance of your home there is a chopping or grist mill. It is there that you can secure the necessary food. In the course of cheeping grain, a waste material i6s produced; this is called screenings, and consists of irregular grain kernels and weed seeds -just the kind of food that will keep a bird•in good shape to withstand cold weather. These screenings•can be had. at most mills, • comes the feeding area. lc t a near .your 'house which is shaded' from the wind and snow, possibly in your orchard or around a hedge where a few weed seeds would de little harm if they did happen to germinate in the spring. Next, form a very small wind- breaik, maybe an old door held off the ground borchardsprunps ing better It et, a is uahgood plan ile of our to have your shelter facing the south. Snow must be kept clear of your feeding station at all times. It should be remembered that, while small weed. seeds will keep snow buntings fed throughout the entire winter, a large bird like our ring=necked pheasant requires something more substantial such as grain or corn. Keep the shelter supplied with screenings and you'll get a great deel of. satisfaction seeing your birds enjoying life. Surprises Are Ahead Of Us SERIOUS WORK and grave decisions face Parliament • when it reassembles the end of January, comments The Financial Post, The world situation has changed greatly and for the worse since it met last fall. Plans made then for dealing with the Red challenge in Korea and for the defence of Western Europe and for meeting the resultant repercussions on our own economy will certainly have to be drastically changed. Not only is the peril more imminent, but the very magnitude of the U.S. effort will have sharp effects on our economy as well as theirs. • It's to be hoped that politics Will be pleyed down and •statesmanship played- tip. This is not the time for jockeying merely for party advantage. This is not the time for petty, 111 - informed wrangling. It is. a time for very sober examination of our national affairs, and problems. On the fundamentals of our foreign policy. let us hope we keep it strictly nonpartisan. Next door we have had some examples of what *e must try to avoid. We have heard powerful voices advocating sharply conflicting policies. We have seen something very close to the old fatal isolationism come to life. We have heard totally unjust accusations made against staunch allies of the United States and the only friends and supporters that country can hope to have if the world is called upon to fight another general war. In' a few months we have seen the U.S. Government swing from an economy wave in defence and replace it with expenditures un- paralleled even during the height of the last war. We have seen a hasty return to regi- mentation never before even suggested except in time of all-out war. Sweeping powers have been asked by the president. Some of the state governors, Dewey of New"'York, for ex- ample, have also been asking for emergency powers of extraordinary soope. The U.S. con- viction that an almost total effort is required— right now—is unmistakable. Canada cannot ignore that conviction, nor the program that backs it up. But if the aim of .defence is the sante for these two countries, the ways of going about it 'need not be similar. Just because Uncle Sam tackles his problems one way is not in itself a good reason why Canada need do 1t the same way. The countries and the people are different; so are some of the problems; so are some of the tools for dealing with them. Canada must carry her full share of re— sponsibility. But we shall do thet well only by adoption of those policies which promise best to produce the desired results, Parliament, too, must awaken this country to the magnitude of ,the task ahead, and to the impact which it will have on the now calm comfort of most Canadians. Parliament must be prepared to make some decisions whioh may not be pleasant or easy. Surprises are ahead for a lot of us in the • next few fateful months. 25 YEARS AGO The Clinton News -Record Thursday, January 2,J4 1926 - Officers of Jubilee RBP are: Wor. Peroeptor, G.
