|PRIME MINISTER PEARSON SENDS CENTENNIAL EDITION GREETINGS By The Rt. Hon. L. B. Pearson Prime Minister of Canada We are celebrating this year a century of national independence and we have many reasons to be proud of and thankful for our achieve- ments. We are also observing the beginning of a new century. Canadianism -- in a world so different from what it was at the beginning of our inde. pendence that much of what is commonplace today would have seemed to the Fathers of Confederation like the wildest of Utopian dreams. During the last few years we have discovered that while we were busy mar- shalling the vast economic __resources of our country, we were also, though not so con- sciously, accumulating in- valuable resources of our country, we were also, though not so consciously, accumula- ting invaluable resources of the mind, the heart and the spirit. A national and a_ noble purpose has been evolving during our first hundred years of Confederation which is uniquely Canadian: the de- liberate and willing choice of social and cultural diversity over social and cultural con- formity, It is on this purpose that I believe the highest hopes for the future of Can- ada must rest. It is one of the intangibies of our. nation- hood, but it is also the force that promises the greatest and most rewarding achieve- ments for the Canada of to- morrow. As we move toward our second century, I dream of a Canada where the individual is never forced to shape him- self inflexibly to. economic and political systems, but where he can enjoy a maxi- mum of freedom and oppor- tunity to fulfil his most cher- ished personal aspirations; and to develop his full poten- tial as a human being. The challenge is to make our freedom more secure and our unity stronger in the diversity of our racial, lin- guistic and cultural origins. By our success in building a nation on the foundation of variety and diversity we will achieve a triumph not only for Canada but for all man- kind. The fundamental test fac- ing mankind in this age is to build a world where individ- ual and national freedom is secure among all the diver- sity of nations and cultures and political systems, but where interdependence is rec- ognized as even more com- pelling than independence, Surely this is a dream wor- thy of the devotion of every Canadian -- a dream to in- spire every imagination and seize the support of every spirit. We must, therefore, en- sure that the national pur- pose we pursue, as we em- bark upon our second hun- dred years, are founded upon human principles that have universal. and permanent value. Then .we can be as certain as any people that our nation will endure be- cause it will deserve to en- dure.

He said investigators "had have been asked to partici- pate in this Centennial Edi- tion of The Oshawa Times.
