The CBC answer: “Yes (its Lattention had been drawn). The persons referred to are free- lance performers engaged on a per program basis. Performers are employed on the basis of artistic merit. Their political beliefs cannot be made a factor of employment where freedom ‘of belief is assured by the law .of the land." "It’s the best argument for a swim-' ming pool I’ve heard yet,” was the comment of 3 Richmond Hill citizen when told last Week of the heroic action of 15-year-old Lois Stanley who plunged into the Mill Pond to rescue Zl/fg-year-old Jimmy Ross. “If Lois hadn’t had swimming lessons and life saving instruction she might not have reacted so quickly to the emergency and we could have had a fatality.

Theme of the campaign is “Prevention Is Our Aim”. Mental illness is widespread; in some form it affects one out of every 10 persons, or 10% of the population. But, of every 10 citizens affected by it, seven can recover and lead useful, normal lives. A few years ago mental illness was talked of only in em- barrassed whispers, but is increas- ingly being regarded with the mature attitude it deserves.

Pond area. The average citizen can help in various ways. He can study the in- formation which the Canadian Men- tal Health Association provides, so that mental illness will be something he understands rather than fears. He can contribute financially to the association’s work, which ranges from research to rehabilitation. And he can do work in the field himself, if he wishes as a volunteer. If you are interested in volunteer work or more information about the work of the association, drop a note to Mrs. Faye O’Cal‘laghan, secretary, at Box 492, Stouffville. The field of mental health today is a hopeful one. It is a field marked by discovery and progress. It is one which needs the understanding and moral and financial support of the whole community. YOU can play your part in helping it achieve its goals.

If “freedom of belief," as the iCBC expresses it, is a right guaranteed to separatists by the “law of the land," is there not another law dealing speci- fically with people who endan- ger the safety of the state? MR. LEBOE’S pointed ques- tion was answered by State Secretary Maurice Lamomagne as the member of the cabinet “responsible.” as they like to phrase it in Parliament, for CBC accounting to the Com- mons. But what kind of accounting is it? Nothing remotely like the ac-‘ connting most federal agencies. and certainly all government department: must make, in sub- mitting to close, careful scrut- tiny by Parliament of their actions in general and their tax spending in particular.

THE ACTUAL paymem by the CBC of supporters of septu- atism seems to go one step fur: ther than merely massively pub- licizing separatists. a broad- casting practice that increas- ingly has concerned those Cana- dians who persist in believing Quebec’s place is still in Con- federation. There is at least one highly- placed aide in Prime Minister‘ Pearson's office who makes no secret of his belief that the CBC is one of the mot causes of the not-:o-quiet revolution in Quebec.

To, each Canadian these words hold a different significance, but to all they denote an ambition, a purpose which each will help to fulfill. Canada, the country' for tomorrow, is also the coun~ try of yesterday, for it is in; the past that Canada’s future was formed. Thinking to an immigrant once meant a life of hope and promise in a new land: a land of youth and beauty, a land that held in its hand a future.
