sure to be well received by the public. Whether it be the death of a sinner or the birth of a saint that is to be commemorated, only give the people a holiday, and the enthusiasm is cer- tain to be forthcoming. It is well for rulers and statesmen that the masses are so easily pleased. It is well for those in authority that holidays are accepted without any questions con- cerning the cause or reason of the proposed jubilation. The results would often be far from pleasant. The answers to be given would often be far from satisfactory. For example, what special cause of festivity and rejoicing had the people of Ontario last Monday? Did they celebrate a compact homogen- ous Confederation of Provinces bound up together by natural and enduring interests, or is it a thing of shreds and patches kept together by plundering their own treasury? Were they exulting in the possession of a form of government that renders great abuses impossible, that secures the lives and property of all, that ex- alts society by practical recognition of virtue and morality, that encour- ages thrift, economy and ability by founding all its appointments on these noble qualities? Or were the people of Ontario hysterically moved by the thoughts of the bench filled to reward disreputable party services, ‘whole constituency or of a Perhaps, however, we were glad because our national debt is rapidly decreasing, because the business of the country is in such aprosperous state, because our trade relations with other countries are so satisfac- tory? Or it may be that we are in- fluenced in our joy by the sure con- viction that the N. P. had made us all rich. had caused our North West to be flooded with a tide of immigra- tion, had fastened firmly every Canâ€" adian to his native land? Or was it because bribery of individual by indi- vidual is forever banished, and in its place the government has elegantly and efficaciously put bribery of a whole province by delicate presents of railroads, bridges. post offices, &c, &c.

At night we sang at Bandshell “E”.” In between concerts they visited as many pavil- ions as possible. Sunday they visited the Belgium and Tunisian Pavilions. The girls were impressed with the paintings and the rugs and other crafts. There was a film going on in the Tunisian Pavilion but they couldn’t stop to see it. On Monday both afternoon and evening per- formances were at this bandshell. Two hundred and fifty children dressed in red blazers, grey skirts, grey trousers and grey knee hose (girls) must have made an impressive sight. The fresh young voices made a real impact singing songs like “Proudly We Praise". “Canada”. “The Music Makers”. “Ships of Arkadv”, “Glory To Thee My God This Night.” They spent, Monday’s free time at the Swiss Pavilion, admired the clocks and watches and saw a science movie. They rode the minirail around twice, After supper they crossed the cosmos walk to the island and looked at the beautiful sculpture and mod- ern art. “Expo was really crowded on Tuesday, said Judy, “and the buses took longer to get into the grounds.

On Dominion Day of this year we celebrated the twenty-first annivers- ary of Confederation. Any holiday is sure to be well received by the public.

One of the pressing needs as we enter our second century is for strong central government under the capable direction of a prime minister who has the ability to lead and lead vigorously â€"â€" a man who can really meet the challenges of the day in a positive way and give our people a sense of direction and purpose. We are often told how reserved we are as a people and, as a direct re- sult, we seem to get colorless, unin- spiring leaders at every level of gov- ernment. If we often seem cold it is because of the type of leadership we are getting. During the present era of rapid change, and in many cases outright upheaval, let us not lose sight of those cherished traditions and ideals that helped to make this nation great. Dominion Day this year has a very special significance for Canadians everywhere as it marks our 100th birthday as a nation. Amid all the pomp and celebrations that are tak. ing' place in our Centennial Year it is only right that each of us should stop and pay tribute to our fore- fathers. Through their drive, dedi- cation and vision Canada has been able to fulfil its promise as a nation.

John Diefenbaker’s smashing elecâ€" tion victory in 1958 when he captured a record 208 seats in the House of Commons proves how Canadians wel- come an emotional, dynamic appeal. Unfortunately, Mr. Diefenbaker was unable to carry out the mandate and soon many people became disenchant- ed with his daily fumbling on the Ottawa scene. However this subse- quent performance did not detract from the massive majority given him by the voters. People want a leader who appears to be on the move, who is tireless and who has a strong sense of our nation- al destiny. The nation needs to be inspired with a grasp of the present and an historical pride in past and future accomplishments. The Can- adian people want to know where they are going and the kind of leader- ship they can expect in the demand- ing years ahead. The whole dimension of govern- ment needs a complete review and the place of the individual in modern society needs to be redefined.

Sims Judy Hughes and Barb Bush at Expo With The Vaughan Festival Choir Judy added. “The pavilions were beautiful. Time went so fast. I wish we could have stayed longer.” So two 12-year-old grade 7 students from Thornhill Public School had the time of their lives at. Expo as members of the much heralded Vaughan Festival Choir. The girls gave much praise to the wonderful “Music Man” of Vaughan, Hugh Martin. The trip to Expo was his dream and his realization. He under- took the tremendous task of organizing and training this choir and sending a recording to Expo. He was ably assisted by Assistant-Conductor Robert Rich- ardson and aided still further by Martin Van Bemel and Mrs. Erna Fynbo. “It took us six hours to get to Montreal,” said Barb. “We gabbed. We ate. We played cards and sang to people on the train. We received a collection of ten dollars for singing “Canada.” Barb and Judy left Union Station on the 9 am Rapido. They arrived in Montreal at 3.30 pm. Judy said that they rode Langdon buses to To- ronto Union Station. Besides the directors were the chaperones and other personnel who helped to keep everything running smoothly. There were about 300 people. Just how did these two young girls feel about their exciting trip with the Vaughan Festival Choir. “Great”, exclaimed Barb Bush. “Simply great”, echoed Judy Hughes. Barb was impressed with the clean and tidy appearance of Expo grounds. “Hardly any paper about,” she said. “It was all very inter- esting and a lot of fun.” “We went to Les Residences du Champlain,” said Barb, “and were informed that we couldn’t get any supper until 9 o’clock because our company had to be divided into three shifts. Boy, were we hun- “It made the meal more enjoyable when it did come. Half a chicken, french fried potatoes and ice cream was worth it,” said Judy. “After we ate, we went back to the residences and tried to sleep, but we were too excited. I think we spent half the night talking.” Barb said that Sunday morning they had break- fast at the apartment. After that they went out and practised singinrr while waiting for the buses to take them to Expo. This nrocedure was followed ev- ery morning“ of their stay. Throughout, the choir sing- ers were given two dollars a day for breakfast and supper. They were given box lunches at noon. In addition, the parents provided two dollars a day for spending money. “We saved most of our spending money for the rides at La Ronde”, said Judy. “There were nine concerts altogether,” Barb said. Sunday morning we went to, sing at St. James United Church. From there we went to Expo and sang at Place des Nations in the afternoon. At night we sang at Bandshell “E”.” In between concerts they visited as many pavil- ions as possible. Sunday they visited the Belgium and Tunisian Pavilions.
