With the richness of her re- sources and the strength of her people of many origins, Canada should be an example for less favorably situated countries to follow. Hon. J. T. Thorson, for- mer Chief Justice of the Ex- chequer Court of Cnada, the guest speaker, said. The establishment of Canada as such an example ought to be our national purpose, he added. Canada has two important qualifications for the fullfilment of this purpose, the speaker added: "We have shown that people of different racial origins and religious beliefs can live to- gether in a state of amity on the basis of equality with one an- other and mutual respect. We have learned better than any other country, except perhaps the United States, the value and the importance of leaving one another alone with each individ- ual in our society free to develop the talents with which he or she has been endowed." INTO LINE Mr. Thorson, a Manitoba bar- rister and solicitor, said that Canada must bring her constitu- tion into line with reality so it can be better equipped to fulfill her purpose. "'We must also clarify our con- cept of Canadian nationhood," he added. 'The latter task pre- sents difficult problems. If Can- ada is to be an example worth following we must solve them.} We must show that our society| is built on the foundation of re-! gard for the individual, that our people are dealt with the basis of equality, regardless of racial/ and religious differences." The speaker said he was con-|)) vinced that the terms '"'Can-/, adien" and 'Canadian' are not synonymous terms. The "Can-|, adien" is a French Canadian p: and the term is not applicable to anyone else, whereas the term "Canadian" is applicable to anyone, and could include a "Canadien." Mr. Thorson added that the), French Canadians do not con- stitute an ethnic group in the Same sense as that of Can- adians of foreign origins. They are not of foreign origin. "It may, therefore, not be possible for them to bridge the gap between themselves and the other components of the Can-|® adian nation as completely as}; the Canadians of foreign origins have been able to do. Indeed, |? the likelihood is that they will not wish to bridge the gap and that the French Canadian will sion who handle criminal cases recently by the Province by counsel, QC, director County branch of the new sys- tem. tically how working out, lawyer did make a few general observations on the reaction of the legal profession. matter," be of great value in this field. the family court.

He also suggested that the older citizens may benefit from the new scheme. "There are indications,' he said, "'that long-standing legal problems such as boundary dis- putes will become unhurried. Crown attorney Bruce Adfleck said of the scheme "'I think it's working out very well . an important factor how- ever is that the person assigned (duty counsel) be one of ex- perience." Mr. Drynan described the program, saying it was made up of a legal aid criminal and civil panel; duty counsel crim- inal and civil and a legal ad- vice panel.

Stage Protest Meeting | Spiralling Mill Rate BAY RIDGES (Staff) -- More than 700 angry Bay Ridges rate- payers refused to stay home for the hockey game Tuesday night and packed the Sir John A. Mac- school auditorium to} the spiralling Pickering Town- ship mill rate. Hundreds of taxpayers stood throughout the meeting and many were turned away when the auditorium, with its 500 seating capacity, became a sar- dine tin. The Ontario government and township council were the prime objects of criticism from the floor and platform. The main resolution was a motion to ask council not to permit any further residential development in the township until sufficient industry is pro- cured to offset the present im- balance of the residential to industrial ratio.

One angry taxpayer shouted at this point that there was only one defence and that was that the whole council should resign immediately and a new council voted in. He was reminded that only 28 per cent of the Bay Ridges voters turned out at the polls at the last election.

He said that the Robarts government had failed to act on its own Royal Commissions. Williams said that to close the door altogether on residential development was not the answer and proposed that council allow only developments on a 60-40 residential-industrial ratio.
