on Earrirfxominrr Publlahad by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 anflold Strut Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher McPherson William Teller Managing Editor IIIBDAY MAY 11 cElfllt Jan VIIIVictoria Day Has such ImpOrtance iTo Us Yesterday tbejirst long weekend hol iday of the years was officially observed as Victoria Day HoweVei the great Queen Victoria for whose birthday the holiday is named was born on May 24 1819 If we in Canada were following the custom of many years the holiday would be held on Friday of this week This was the custom followed in Can ada for years but in 1952 due to the influence of the motor age the trend to long weekends and other factors the ob servance was moved by government eta tute to the Monday before May 25 About every seven years it actually does fall on the Queens birthday But nowadays this particular holiday does not have the same outward inipact aséit did in earlier years Then almost every community had real often parade the Union Jack flying over stores and houses but usually in some form of sports Over the years in Barrie the sports often took the form of aqua tics the opening of the boatin season on the bay and nearly always all tour nament in which visiting teams participat These days the holiday is observed by getting away to the cottage motoring out in thecountry visiting somewhere The district golf courses are packed If the weather is warm enough the lawn bowl ers usually open their season The dis trict softballers planned their annual all star game for yesterday althoughtho celebration weather seemed more suitable for skiing But Victoria Day does assume consid erable importance even if the patriotic aspect has been largely lost The actual birthday became so traditional during the long reign of Victoria that it has con tinued with little loss of momentum since then Not only that but Edward Vll who followed Queen Victoria on the throne had birthday in November and our present Queens birthday is on April 21 Both of theseditea are unseasonable for outdoor celebrations for which May 24 was so admirably suited and with which it was associated right from the beginn lng of Victorias reign There is another reason why Victoria Day is fittineg perpetuated Through the Queens 84 years on the throne Bri tain and her empire was at the height of its power and because of this the world lived in an era of comparative peace There was trouble in many arts of the world fromtime to time but or the most part Britain kept her hand tightly on the reins and with few exceptions anyhos tilities were quickly put down This is part of the heritage which gave stimulus to Lester Pearson at the Unitlt ed Nations several years ago to suggest and get the first peace eepingfilforce under United Nations auspices is is part of the heritage which has given us so manyof our free institutions from universal manhood sufferage to selfgov ernment for most of Britains former colonial empire Theseare matters which we in Can ada should be thinking about more and more It is becoming increasingly clear that somewhere along the line We have forgotten many of the pertinentdevelop ments soclosely related to our past and to some measure have not placed the same em basis on them in our schools The res has been that muchof Can adas greatness which took shape during Victorias reign much of her potential has escaped our children We who have been born in this country owe it to ourselves but even more we owe it to the people who have come here from other lands and who have not had the same opportunity to know how Can ada has developed to her present stature in the society of nations OTHER EDITORSIVIEWS DIPLOMATIC PRESSURE Peterborough Examiner The federal Government must come up with formula that is at once dignified and firm
