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.

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
A Bruce County paper brings
the news of drunkenness at dances.
It is so bad that the editor writes,
/ about it. He wants the young
people to have a good time but
points out that drinking ruins the
party, There isn't 'much fun in
seeing' young inen sprawled out
on the dance floor dead drunk.
The writer of'this paragraph
would point out that this happen-
ed in Bruce County where the
Oiliario liquor control act is in
force. With its authorized out-
lets and with its;'advanta;ges for
low enforcement it has not soly-
ed the problem of alcohol..- 'We
still maintain that the Canada
Temperance Act is a better temp-
erance measure. We join with the
BrasceCounty editor in pleading
with our 'young men not to let
+r liquor .turn their dances tntoo
brawls.---Advt.
