"73 Editor 'of Canadian Satesman Enjoys a _ Dutch Wedding Ever since . the little Dutch girl told the Editor she wanted to be called a8 "new Canadian", and not a "little Dutch girl", our admiration for: these new citizens in our midst has aroused considerable interest. We, therefore, gladly accepted an invitation to a Dutch wedding on Saturday in the Christian Reformed Church to learn more about their native customs. It was an experience we shall long remember; for the ceremony was with- out the usual fanfare and fashion- show-display of so many Canadian weddings. Yet the bride and her two attendants looked charming in white lace gowns and veils. ~The service was impressive with its strictly religious appeal in which the young couple "to trust in the Lord and in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths", In other words he said always put Christ as head .of the household. : The service throughout was in Dutch 'as the bride had recently come to Canada from the Netherlands. However, for the benefit of the few English speaking guests present the minister at the close of his sermon very thoughtfully gave a' brief sum- ~ mary of his address in English. The wedding vows followed the sermon, After the church service the guests were invited to the Lions Community Centre where afternoon tea was serv- ed, Later in the evéning the guests repaired to the large banquet: hall , | where they were joined by well on to two hundred young Dutch folks most of whom are living in the immediate vicinity. The bountiful and appetizing menu |- served was entirely Dutch cooking made by a Dutch baker in Brighton. There seemed to be no end to the variety of bread, buns, pastry and - cookies which were served at the ban- quet and throughout the'evening: by attentive waitresses, but no wedding "cake. Native wines, fruit dishes and "even Dutch cigars were included. As guests arrived, mostly in couples they would first present themselves to the bride and groom who were sitting at the head table, shake hands and offer congratulations and give them a wedding gift. - At the conclusion" of the banquet 'proper a young master of ceremonies mounted the platform and after offer- "ing a prayer which was reverently ob- served by the large gathering he presented an interesting variety pro- gram of recitations, vocal and instru- mental numbers, dramatic readings, humorous sketches - and community singing, The entire program of near- ly three hours was put on by members in the audience who were called to the platform to contribute their selection. As is customery on all such occasions the program concluded with prayer, To a native born Canadian one could. not help but be favorably im- pressed with the genuine 'willingness in which each did his or her part, the abundant display of latent talent, and the enthusiasm 'with which they sang their Dutch folk songs. They are evidently a music loving people and revel in clean wholesome entertain- ment, judging from 'the fine demon- stration they gave on this occasion. After this delightful experience we can .well understand now, in talking -several years ago with Col T. L. Ken- nedy, then Ontario Minister of Agri- culture, after he had made a survey of some European countries in search of suitable immigrants for Ontario, he said he would give the people of The Netherlands preference, From this new experience on Satur- day another thought came to our'mind. In assimilating these new Canadians to our. way. of life we might to ad- vantage also adopt some of their-culs ture and customs, for we must re- .| member that' theis country is much older than our beloved Qapada.

LET'S TAKE 2 FACTS . 1. THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY when in office brought in almost every progressive piece of labour legislation - on our statute books--including recognition of trade unions, fair wages and reasonable work. hours, workmen's compensation, minimum wages, legal holidays with pay, unemployment insurance and collective bargaining. 2. THEPRESENT GOVERNMENT at Ottawa denied the right of labour to collective bargaining and substituted compulsory arbitration in the railway strike. The P.( .. opposition fought long and hard to uphold the principle of collective bargaining in all labour-management disputes. nd This is one good reason why I am a P.C. Candidate in this election.
