affl TWO S -- * ,ff, 5 Ca à%IUCZ Ikill JIORJ4LSý Recipe for Citizenship Take one New Canadian, add ielementary knowledge of Canada, rnix wlth existing Canadian stock - that's the. recipe for citizenship. But it's flot always that easy. New Canadians are prone to stick together in their ethnie groups. Old Canadians (we fourth and fifth generation types) are prome to think that we, like the Iridians, are "original stock" and so turn our backs on the problem as though it did flot exist. Who's to'take the responsibillty of Integrating the new Canadian with the old? You? Me? Who? Characteristically,, because it believes that "as goes aur community, so go we ail,"I the. Ontario Chamber of Commerce has aecepted the challenge. Thfrough its public relations committee it has brought together ethnie group leaders and discuused the matter. Now, it is busy encouraging individi9 Chamn- bers of Commerce and Boards of Trade (the terms are interchangeable) -across Ontario to take a special interest ip the integration of our new citizens. In doing so, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce is going back to the oriSinal "«grass roots" philosophy of our pioneers - help each other to -nelp the wvhole com- munity. Comprised of 190 member Boards and Chambers in Ontario - 80% of which are in communities of 5,000 souls or less, the Chamber in this work is cemonstrating the leadership in citizenship which is its keystone.

Coyne predicted that Canadians will amass more and more qavings and will gradually buy back the domestic enterprises now owned abroad. Along with'this will go, he says, a lesser dependence 'on foreign trade and a greater development of secondary industry in Canada. This, as he said, will mean "a greater measure 'of autonomy and inde- pendence on the part of Canadian manage- ment, the continued development of com- niunications in Canada, and *. growing national .strength." Mr'. Coyne has dared to prophesy the kind of national development which the overwhglniing majorîty of Canadi ans want. Antidote for Delinquency* ta d"h devil finds work for idie hands "This old truism has been buried in the heap of nonsense on which has been buit the bélief that idleness Is the most desir- able condition of man. .Those who work almost incessantly to bring the curse of compulsory idleness to their fellow-men, b'elieve that ail persons instinctively find constructive,. rewarding activities for their idie time. Men, women and children whose energies are largely expended in useful work, find relaxcation and contentment in the real joys of home, friendship and growth. They are not seeking harmful excitement. The crime calendar which overflows ]aw enforcement, is filled by delinquent juvenfles and aduits who do less, work than is good for thein. The devil cannot entice them until he finds them with time on their hands.

Bis Are Critical' 1 There is considerable ci-iti- cism because of fhis Jack ao action. Two Liberals, one in thie House of Commons and onc in the Senafe, have present- ed private bis for discussion. The Cammons Bill suggesfs that Senafors should be retired at age 75. The Senate Bill would make if mandatai-y for the Prime MiTister ta make new appointments w if hin six months after any vacancy oc- curs. If is doubtful if either bill will pass. but if does show .tIe genuine concern of memn- bei-s over the unhappy situa- tion. In Awkward Spot Frank1ý, I have the gi-eatest sympathy for fhe Pi-ime Mini- ister in bis pi-edicament. Sen- ate seats are very definitely allocated by provinces. Ontario lias 24, Saskatchewan six, No- va Scotia 10 and ýso an. But thaf isn'f ail. Tiraditionally, there are Protestant, Irish Ca- thalie and French, Catholic ap- painfmenfs, and fthei-e would be bitter crificism if this bal- ance were upset.
