JO'S: JOURNAL BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times Coming from a briefing session with chairman of the twenty sub-committees that are now going into action for this year's Folk Festival, it was tremendously encouraging to chat with Dr. Frank MacKinnon and to discover that what Oshawa is doing is what he sees Canada needs. Something to be proud of; something to sing about. Dr. MacKinnon who addressed the Canadian Club on Wednesday night is the president of the foundation which erected the Fathers of Confederation Centre for the Arts at Charlottetown and chairman of Prince Edward Island's Cen- tennial committee which guided last year's "successful, his- torical hootenany"'. : "It's something of a miracle," he said, "that such an il- logical system as our Canadian Confederation has survived as well as it has for one hundred years and we must "Stand _on Guard" vigilantly to see that it doesn't become weaken- ed by petty bickering. "We're the only people to wait one hundred years before building a memorial to the men who started Canada and not until last year did anyone think to celebrate the birthday of \ Sir John A, Macdonald, the Father of Confederation. We, Canadians, take our heritage and our traditions too much for granted. Dull And Dusty "For many years Canadian history has been one of the worst taught and least popular subjects in the school curri- culum, What is exciting about a group of men sitting around a table quietly and democratically discussing the formation of a nation? They have always been pictured as be-whiskered old men who were terribly nice and terribly dull when, in fact, they were mostly in their 30's and 40's and the Charlottetown conference was as lively as any pres- ent-day convention. They even took up the red carpet in the legislative chamber so that they could hold a dance, complete with bar. "With no preconceived ideas and very little previous contact with one another, these men, some unwillingly, set about the business of bringing together political units of vastly different character. "These 'partners' had to play together in the same lea- gue' by pooling their resources and giving handicaps to even up differences in size; resources, money and industrial potential. This 'marriage' based on a combination of the old British Parliamentary system and American federalism 'was never expected to last and yet it has, for one hundred years. "Ours is the biggest political system, per capita, in the world and our troubles are petty compared with many other countries. The strength of a family depends on the mem- bers rising above petty quarrels and natural differencs. Bi-lingualism and bi-culturalism are ridiculous in the light of Canada's mixed population, now and more so in the near future. "Strong nations are those that have different languages, religions, customs and ideas from which to draw the best of each. Weak nations are those where uniformity is re- quired, resulting in monopolistic, cultural inbreeding. Something For The Soul "Economically, politically and socially, we're doing all right, but we are lagging in culture and tradition upon which a nation's strength and happiness depends. These things deal with the emotions, minds and sensibilities and are the intangibles which build the character of Canadians, The most enduring personalities of any country or locality are the poets, painters, authors, composers, actors, singers and dancers. Cultural people have done more to promote un- derstanding than anyone in politics or industry. They are the pioneers of Canada's next: frontier. "Young people are beginning to realize that something is going on in Canada and they have good reason to stay. Emigration has been heavy in the past because of lack of cultural opportunity and national pride. "Flags and anthems are symbols that represent some- thing emotional. We need to have pride in Canada; not the kind of pride that goes before a fall, but the feeling of be- longing to something important. Let's be sure to 'Stand on Guard' to preserve not just land but a way of life." Everyone who heard Dr. MacKinnon was stirred by his positive approach and particularly happy to be in his com- pany was Mr. D. K. Stiles who told me that they had been in the same residence in Knox College, University of Tor- onto, and had not met in twenty years. Not only was Dr. MacKinnon sincerely encouraging about Oshawa's Dominion Day Festival but highly compli- mentary in his praise of Prince Edward Island's Centen- nial symbol which was used on pennants, posters and every form of publicity during last year's celebrations. The monogrammed letters, P.E.I., in red, blue and gold was a design created by Eric Aldwinckle, Toronto artist, who also designed the Great Seal of Canada on the. accession of Queen Elizabeth II. There's nothing like a bit of family pride to warm yo through and through on a wild and peli night. oe Filtering Star Dust If you didn't see the film, "The Americanization of Emily" in town recently, you missed a pleasant treat. It starred the engaging Miss Julie Andrews whose parents were close friends of Mr. McIntyre Hood during World War II days while he was overseas. Julie was then about five or six years old and he met her with her parents. The star of "My Fair Lady" and "Mary Poppins" has a family tie which gives her a close association with Can- ada. Her step-father, whose name she was given when quite a child is Ted Andrews, formerly of Toronto and now living at Walton-on-Thames, near London. He was born and brought up in the Danforth district of Toronto and after winning recognition as a banjoist and entertainer in that city, he went to England and there followed his Stage career. There he took as his partner and wife, Barbara Wells, an accomplished pianist, who was the mother of Julie An- drews by a previous marriage. During World War II, Ted Andrews and Barbara Wells were members of an ENSA company which regularly entertained the Canadian troops in their camps in England. Being a Canadian, Ted was ex- tremely popular with the men from this country. Five-year-old Julie frequently travelled with her mother and step-father to the Canadian camps where they were en- tertaining. Ted Andrews has retired from the entertainment field now and he and his wife live quietly in their Walton-on- ~ Thames home from which they watch with interest the meteor- #244 * PPS SPO OD Slim coats, some of them double-breasted, are among spring's most distinctive styles.

At right, the black and white John Montreal Widow Knows Her Furs VANCOUVER (CP) -- Male competition doesn't bother Reah Bank, a woman buyer at fur auctions. The Montreal widow says she has two advantages over the men--woman's. intuition and a style sense that enables her to know how a pelt will dress up into a luxury garment. "Many men buying furs have no idea how the pelts will look when made into coats or stoles,"" she said in an interview during a trip here for the West- ern Canadian Raw Fur Auc- tion. "Consequently, some of them are easy to compete against." Mrs. Bank had to support two daughters when her husband died 18 years ago, so she took over the Bank Fur Company he had founded after the couple escaped Poland in 1940. She buys about $1,500,000 worth of pelts a year and has regular customers in Montreal, New York, Seattle, Paris and London, with occasional busi- ness in Germany and Italy. Color is the most important factor in buying, she says. If a buyer doesn't know what the latest styles and shades are, "he's in trouble." Mrs. Bank said, for example, that long-haired furs such as fox and lynx are bringing the best prices this year. High shades of every kind of mink are much in demand for Eu- rope.
