A quar- Centennia Report 1867 u 1967 Report No. 1 When I took over the job of organizing Canada's biggest cel- ebration in history I ran into a number of pessimists, even a few cynics. This is the sort of line they gave me: "Canadians aren't noisy patriots. You'll have a tough job stirring up much flag waving for 1987." Well, some of their facts were correct but the spirit in which those few pessimists presented their views to me .was not what I accept as -Canadian. Ihave travelled long and 'far enough in this country to know that Canadians really have strong positive feelings about their country. I could agree with some of the statements by my pessimis- tic friends if they were in a different context. Canadians are not given to wild denionstra- tions of patriotism in their own country. Sneh things can em- barrass us. I believe our kind of nationalism is more thought- ful than emotional 'and that is why I believe so fervently that our Centennial will be a'But;- cessful and meaningful event in our history. Yes, we may have difficulty at times in deciding what we are, what we are for and what we are against in the world. But we know what home is and though we may be embar- rassed to express it, we love our land. Perhaps I discovered this through travel abroad when I met Canadians far from home. When we are world travelling we are more apt to open up and reveal to other people our in, ner thoughts about our coun- try. 'O'ne particular instance comes to my mind. I was break- fasting at a small hotel in Lon- don, England, a few years ago and became engaged in . converr satlon with a young marl across tette composed of Joyce Flynn, Ann Mickle, Robert ,jVlcNaugh- ton and Ted .Mock, sang, and Joyce Flynn sang "In the Gar- den." Miss Greta Lammie pre- sided at the organ for the Sun- rise service. Thankoffering Meeting The Easter thankoffering meeting of Unit 4, UCW was held in Fellowship Hall 'Thurs- day. Mrs. E. Rowe, who pre- sided, opened the meeting by reading an Easter poem by Ed- gar Guest, and called upon Mrs. H. McMurtrie; who read scrip- ture passages which contained the Easter message, followed by prayer. Mrs. Laird Mickle gave a splendid talk on the Resurrec- tion of Our Saviour, and Miss Greta Lammie favored with a violin 'selection, "The Old Rug- ged Cross." Mrs. T. J. Sherritt was accompanist.' N Mrs. R. J. Paterson was hos- tess and Mrs, A. B. Rowcliffe was in charge of the offering. Roll call was answered by 22 znenibers.' • An invitation to the meeting of the UCW at St. An- drew's United Church, Kippen, was accepted. Mrs. J. McAllis- ter gave a report of the Pres-. byterial meeting at Clinton, and the meeting closed with a hymn by JOHN W. FISHER CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER the table from me. He • was a Canadian working, at an airline office in London. With no prod- ding from me he poured out all his thoughts about home and about Canada. "I'm not" •• nationalist"' he said. "In facct '1'm against na- tionalism. ' ,auses a lot of trduble in thte world. That's. why I like my cguiftry. We're not aggressive nationalists. B u t really, mister_,". he. said, "it's hard, to dUcribe my feelings about•. my country." He thought his feeling for his homeland was not just the house he was born in back in Ontario,' nor was it necessarily his home town. It was the lake country where he used to go on canoe trips in the summer, the big rushing rivers and the roads that go forever. "I always felt if I couldn't find a job in Canada ,I could always go to the north country and trap and hunt—something one couldn't do over here—and at least make a living," he said. He admitted it was -just a "fan - y of the mind"—probably he'd starve -but Canada always gave him a feeling of security, he said. "I always felt that the Rockies or the Gaspe wilder- nesses were mine, even though I didnit go there every week- end. (I only saw the Rockies once.)" The young man went on, ex- posing his mind and being Very sentimental and patriotic. I thought to myself he probably would be far too inhibited and embarrassed to talk like that back home. From now to 1967 Canadians, as individuals., and in groups, large and sall, are finding tvays to express their true feel- ings about Canada. I'll tell you more about these in future re- ports. and waver by Mrs. Rowe. An accident occurred Friday evening a quarter mile south of Hensall on' Highway 4, involv- ing a transport and a car. Ray- mond Horne, of Windhelsea, south -bound, and Lockridge Transport from Wingham, driv en by Arthur Fischer, of RR 2, Mildmay, was north -bound.
