Whitby, ~~ » . * British. - ship-for what-he maintains-are good rea- THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE -- -- Notes and Comments The French Canadian is interested in Canada as a wholesonly in so far as it accepts his French and Catholic culture. They are not the least bit interested in a unity of the two main cultures, English and French; they're solely interested in the propagation of their own language and their own faith. Most French Canadians have not the slightest concept of what English Canada means. They show more interest in North African French culture than they do in English Canadian culture. They assume, without having investi- gated or studied it, that our culture is without value. That is why they have always opposed anything to do with the Ever since 1896, they have worked, largely through the Liberal party to wipe out the British tradition in Cana- dian culture. Just as they consider any non-French as a foreigner in this country so they have considered any Anglo-saxon tradition as foreign, too. They were largely responsible for the abolition of titles, the Imperial dream, the Common- wealth. The French Canadians have been helped by two typical British attitudes. = The first of these is a British sense of fair The Price of a Job Martin Einhower, an unemployed Am- erican veteran out of work for the past two years, has applied for passports for his wife and himself to go to Russia or any other country that will have them. He is throwing up his American citizen- sons. He believes that the pension board has_treated him unfairly, his wife is par- tially 'blind and inadequately provided for, and finally, he can't get work. He be- - lieves, quite mistakenly, of course, that he will have a better chance in some other country if" he can only get there. ~~ How differently some people look at 'things. In the United States and in our "own country we have some people who don't care whether they ever get work as long -as their unemployment insurance holds out. They figure out that they are much better off than if they were in Rus- sia or some other communist: country; there, they would have to work. Unem- ployment insurance provides no dodge be- , Lhe French Canadian Point of View play and respect for the minority group. This' the French Canadian has exploited to the full. The second is British apathy which so 'often disguises itself as a kind of tolerance. Furthermore, the Catholic Church has tended to support the provincialism of the French because they were such staunch supporters of the Roman Catholic Heir- archy. L © Many English Catholics have lent un- willing support to the French in their unjustifiable claims and demands simply because of. their religion. ..The English-speaking Canadians should be pushing English traditions and kKng- lish culture in French-speaking Canada just as assiduously as the French do in our. section. ~ bring. A new ministry has just been formed by the Quebec government for the pur- pose of propagating French Canadian cul- ture outside the province of Quebec. Ima- gine! if the Frost government were to. form a new ministry to propagate English culture in French speaking Canada! cause there is no unemployment insurance. _ In fact, their is no unemployment. The Government hesitates to get too tough with those taking advantage of the present administration of the Unemploy- ment Insurance Fund. To do so might stir up'a lot more trouble about the amount of unemployment in-Canada and it would. . prove unpopular with those people who be- lieve that they have a right to take ad- vantage of the loopholes in the act. The abuse of unemployment insurance is a racket just as any other dishonest practice is a racket and the people of this country should make it clear that they will not be satisfied-until the-government. _ takes a firm stand and makes a real ef- fort to clean up the petty racketeering that preys on the unemployment insur- ance fund. But it's easier just to let things go on as they are; a whole lot easier than find- ing new jobs for the unemployed. So our Martin Einhowers will grow more numer- ous and more bitter.

DENTIST REPLACES ; BOY'S TEETH MARKHAM--An 11 year-old boy injured in a hockey game about eight weeks ago parted with his two front teeth for about an hour. Bruce Raymer ran home but re- turned to the frozen farm pond with 'teeth, Both were found unbroken in permitted an operation to re-insert the two teeth, The operation must be. performed within an hour before a permanent blood clot forms over the wound, the dentist said. The operation was a success--the teeth were held by braces, but are becoming firmly rooted again. + PROPOSE BUYING PORTION OF HYDRO SYSTEM IN.

Operating expen- ses, $68; market recejpts, $188. Pro- fit for 1960, $120. Brian is 14 years bers and are prominent leaders in parents are both former club mem- bers and are prominent leaders in their community. Their herd of Jer- sey cattle has won exhibition cham- pionships and ROP awards time and again, Reading the. weekly papers, I have been impressed with the wonderful work of the 4-H clubs for a long, long time. To my shame, however, I was- n't certain of what the H's stood for. My brother, who is a weekly news- paper editor and very sold on 4-H work, suggested that I find out at once and write it up in my column so that others who never knew or have forgotten will be informed. The H's come from the 4-H pledge which reads: "Ipledge my Head to clear thinking, My Heart to greater loyalty, - My Hands to larger service, My Health to better living, For my club, my community, my country." To my mind that would be a pledge know from personel "knowledge that boys and girls who take that pledge really mean it and pay a good deal more than lip service to it. Loyalty and service are never in surplus sup- ply in this world, so in dedicating themselves in this manner, thousands of young Canadians are insuring a better future for this country. Men and women who had the ad- {vantage of 4-H membership in their youth may now be found in many important positions of leadership. In _| future years, more and more 4-H members, pledged to clear thinking, service, loyalty and so forth, will be- come leaders. That's a re-assuring thought for anyone inclined to be pe- ssimistic about our country's future. ~~ Electrically! your electric dothes dryer CLIPPED COMMENTS-- Their shoes sparkled with a Sunday shine. There were adults in attendance in the auditorium but from our vantage point, it was strictly a teen-age show, organized by adiilts but operated by teen-agers. The conduct of the par- ticipants was above reproach and we sincerely hope that this trend may continue. The very lifeblood of any Teen Town is dependent on the mem- bers' strict adherence to the club's written rules and regulations. If Saturday evening's opener is an hon- est indication of future dance events, then we feel that the management has little to fear. --Stouffville Tribune WHAT IS A TOWN? My town is the place where my home is found, where my. business is situated and where my vote is cast. It is where my children are educated, where my neighbors dwell, and where my life is chiefly lived. It is the home spot for me. My town has the right to my civic loyalty. It supports me and I should support it. yg \ My town wants my citizenship, not my partisanship; my friendliness, not my dissension; my constructive sug- gestions, but not my destructive cri- ticism, my intelligence; not my indif- ference. My town supplies me with protec- tion, trade, friends, education, church- es, schools, and the right to free mor- al citizenship. It has some things that are better than others; the best things I should seek to make better; the worst things I should help to im- prove. . Take it all-in-all, it is my town and it is entitled to the best there is in me, worth taking by every Canadian. 1! j through talk and letters to their pro- Anglican Notes By Mary Beeker A The Church of thé Ascension is the scene of 'a number of activities this week.

Meetings of our various Women's Associations will be held, and the work and duties of the New Organization will be fully outlined. It is hoped -that this will enlist the support of all the women of the Church. All during the Winter months, we have been studying the Life of Jesus as told by St. Mark. Now we turn for awhile to what Jesus continued to do in the lives of the Apostles, after His resurrection. The Minister's text on Sunday was: "Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and prea- ched Christ unto them". Nothing will explain the wonderful work of the Apostles except the presence of the Indwelling Spirit of the Risen Christ. © The Minister said: "The coming of God's Holy Spirit to the Apostles made them realise the pre- sence of Jesus, even though they could not see Him. No doubt it was easier for them to be conscious of God's Holy Spirit, because they had known the "earthly Jesus. To the Apostles when God's Holy Spirit came to dwell with them, it gave the feel- ing of confidence and joy that they had when they walked with the earthly Jesus. In a way, it was something pew that was happening, and another way, it was just the old companionship of the past three and a half years they had enjoyed.

Over and over it is recorded that in the presence of Christ, the unclean spirits left men. Isn't it re- markable that the Samaritans Te: ceived the greatest news, and had perfect release from sorrow and pain through the media of those whom they had accounted enemies? How much unhappiness and suffering we have built up over the years by har- bouring enmity in our hearts," In conclusion -he said:- "We must - seek Christ just for the joy of finding Him, and being in His presence. Only in His presence can there be joy. Only at His right hand are there pleasures for evermore". On Sunday, April 23rd we shall have at Manchester the ordination of our two elected Elders, namely Mr, Wright Crozier and Mr. William Me- Cartney. After the holidays our Brownies and Guides and Cubs and Scouts were out in full force. The Minister is enjoying the fellowship of the six Guides who are taking religious in- structions, We hope to be through with the Course about the end of May June Crozier and George Freeman arq doing a fine work with the Cubs. The Minister hopes to be able to visit the Manchester Pack-and 'Troop after he has completed the course of religious instruction, He would like to see pro- vision made in the near future for a combined meeting of Cubs and Scouts, Today, April 11th, is Mrs. George Sweetman's 90th birthday, and we do wish her many happy returns.
