if the barrio Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited id Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher swarm General tissue MONDAY JANUARY 10 PI HUS Newspaper Comments On The Cabinet Changes The cabinet changes just announced in Ottawa by Prime Minister lester Pearson should be viewed partly against the background of recent strains be tween Canadas two linguistic groups Mr Pearson has made some of his most important new appointments with an eye on FrenchCanadian sensitivities Of these probably the mostsignificant is the promotion of Guy Favreau Frenchspeaking lawyer from Montreal from the Ministry of Citizenshi and Immigration to that of justice will also take over leadership of the House of Commons All federal cabinets in Canada must preserve some balance between English and Frenchspeaking members Mr Pearsons original cabinet formed last April seemed outwardly to do so But its senior Frenchvspcaking members Paul Martin External Affairs and Lionel Chevrier Justice had been so long on the federal scene that many FrenchCan adlans no longer thought of them as be longing to them Such is not the case with Mr Favreau who nofv takes over from Mr Chevrier The able Mr Mar ln remains in charge of External Af airs In further move which must be seen in the same context Mr Chevrier has been appointed Canadian High Commis sioner in London the first French speaking Canadian to hold the post To balance this Mr Pearson is expected to send an Englishspeaking Canadian to head his countrys embassy in Paris job hitherto reserved for Frenchspeak tog Canadians It is in the interest of the entire west ern world that the division between the two communities in Canada should be submerged in sense of calm construc tive unity and nationhood Federal and provincial leaders dedicated to this end should know that they have the support of friends of Canada everywhere com mented The Christian Science Monitor But This Is Not For Usl Many Canadians seemto regard pub lic housing in curiously divided way they are not against it in principle but they dont want it in their neighbor hood strong answer to these people has been given by Dr Joseph Lay cook man with great deal of exper ience in welfare work in the publication Canadian Welfare He says Wework every day with people from eyery income class mingle with themon our streets and buses We welcome them as producers and consum ers We want and need their taxes dir ect and indirect we solicit Community Chest dollars from them share hospital rooms with them Children of low in come families attend the same schools the same churches at least in principle we do not want them as neighbors We accept them when it is in our interest to do so and reject them when theyap poor as threat to the alleged

forbears who had migrated from the British Isles to Canada By strange coincidence just after writing that article came upon man who is making business of dig ging deeply into the past and compiling records going back for hundreds of years This man is Cecil Humphery Smith director of the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Soldier of Canterbury tie Archbishop of Canterbury Rooney is one of the patrons of this institute Through HumphrrySmlth has begun the task of collecting and indexing what might run up to 250 mili ioo names of British people of bygone days PUBDATES SOMERSET HOUSE The vital

more people will take part in the searches COULD BE USEFUL Asked what useful purports would he achieved by this gigan tlc task of research Mr Huml phery Smith said It could he of great bone fit for

There will also be benefits for the parish clergy It is hoped that where definite family con nection can he found with par ticular parish that familyas sociations might be formed so that funds can be
