ATICEY - - - - - - - Editor and Publisher Ontario -Quebec Division, MYNA THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1947 EIGHTY YEARS OLD BUT STILL A YOUNG NATION Cl omfeder'artion of (tile Canadian Provinces was achieved by the British North America Act, which came into effect just 80 years ago,,on Judy 1, 1867. This union was brought about only fter . a long 'straggle in which the genius of compromise played an important part. Canada its Still a young nation—as nations go—with much on Which to look back but even more to which to look forward. . Eighty years sago, our problem was to wrest from the untamed Wilderness, suffi'ci'ent food, clothing .and shelter to keep us ,alive in a rough life !arid hard circum- stances, it is pointed out in the Monthly Letter of the Royal Bank of Canada, the current issue of which deals rather 'exhaustively with the history and future of the nation. Today's great problem is to find uses at home :for the abundance of goods produced in factories formerly busy with war goods, or to find markets abroad in Which to dispose of them. These things are necessary if our :living standard is not to be reduced. They also are ::necessary if other nations, once they have 'settle'd down, `.are not to (become jealous of our natural wealth. We are 'seelcihng a way to make economical use of our resources, spz'eadnng them around the world where they are needed. Canada stands between the grealt and the small .powers --too limited in population to forma menace to 'any nation, even if she were belligerently minded, but too .]highly developed as an Industrial ,and trading nation to rank with the ,small powers. Our ananpower weight is :sight, but our economic weight—not alone because of our natural resources but because of our ability to process them efficiently—entitles us oto a 'seat near the top in world pllaamnling. Canada has made wonderful progress in her 80 years of federation, and has (ah least as good prospects of an equal share of advancement in the next 80 years. She has broken through frontiers of geography and clilinalte and philosophy and custom to reach her present position: today she is leading attempts to breach old- time prejudice 'and selfishness and insularity, so that world economic reconstruction and stability may march Side-by-side with .political eai peace. This country, of ,all in the world, has a good chance to make good in ilts constructive efforts, and in this .Country, if anywhere on the globe, is opportunity: not alone because of the natural resources of which we are so prone to boast, but because here, of all places, there is a sane, balanced wary of l4fe in which to develop nalture's—and our individual—gifts. As the Monthly Letter states, we cannon Took back, this 80th birthday, on the padt as as pageant which calls merely for 'applause and graitifioa>aoun. As the procession of the years passes in review on our National Birthday, each year decked with laurel leaves for achievement and its chaplet Of rosemary for memories, we must not forget that 1947 will take its place in the cavalcade. This year and years :to came must not he unworthy. EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today — It is much easier to be critical than to be correct. Twenty-five years ago. the Town Council passed - a bylaw restricting the Sunday hours of the local cafe to 7 'a.m. to 9 a.m,, 12 noon to 2 p.m., and 5.30 to 7.30 p.m. Today, the (attitude of the townspeople seems to be just the reverse.
