It grieves me to think that men can hate so bitterly that they can cast out justice and charitv and resort to violence. even to Hm nm'nr nF nun-Am- Violence, even to the point of murder. This senseless act seems so much at variance with the spirit of love and hope that is symbol- ized by the Easter feast that is almost upon us. With all the personal resources I have. I pray that Mr. King’s death will, in the end. prove a catalyst that will bring peace and racial justice to a land he loved well enough to die for. (Cathy Wilson is a secondary school student reSIding in Richmond Hill! Yes, there is promise. I think. of a new dawn in federal politics. Some commentators have suggested that with Mr. Trudeau. we will be taking a .risk in departing from the old and estab- lished managerial style of governing. Well. Canada is a hundred years old, and the world today is light years different from the world of Confederation. It is my feeling that (‘anadian government today needs a new shaping spirit. Mr. Trudeau. I think. represents that spirit. That's why I'm delighted that he will be our new Prime Minister. Without in any way disparaging Mr. Pear- son’s achievements â€"-â€" they were many and disâ€" tinguished -â€" I think it true to say that Joey Smallwood was right when he said Mr. Trudeau would attract many young people into politics. We find it easy to identify with this new young leader. His zest for living we understand and respond to. And we admire his reluctance to be swept along by popular currents of opinion and feeling, his resistance to pressures that threaten the detachment necessary for objective judgment. We applaud, too. his stand against reg‘imentation. against structures that, in supplying human needs, threaten to take over human lives in ways unacceptable to individual freedom. Yet. amiable as he appears to be, he is obâ€" viously his own man. Unlike other candidates. he made no deals. It seemed to me that he was determined to pursue his course on his own terms so that. should he win, he would have no blatant political obligations to pay off. He was obviously going to be master of his own destiny. He makes this point in his book, “Federalism and the French Canadians”, where he says: “I have never been able to accept any discipline ex- cept that which I have imposed on myself . . . for. in the art of living. as in that of. loving or of gov- erning â€"â€" it is all the same â€"â€" I found it unacceptâ€" able that others should claim to know better than I what was good for me.” Obviously, Mr. Trudeau is a self-disciplined man. This does not mean, however. that he will reject all help in solving the problems that lie ahead of him. He made this quite clear in his acceptance speech when he said he would be turning to Mr. Pearson for guidance and aid, and when he thanked not only his campaign advisers and workers, but also those fellow cab- inet ministers who had done so much to initiate him into the intricacies of cabinet management. Another aspect of Mr. 'l‘rudeau’s character that really struck me was his never speaking directly or indirectly in ’terms disparaging to his opponents or to other parties. On a number of past occasions and again during the convention, I have been impressed by Mr. Trudeau’s low-keyed, unruffled manner. In the McLuhan sense of the word, I think Mr. Trudeau is ‘cool’. He’s not at all the typical stump-type politician who tries to emotionally stampede people into supporting him. Thoughtful and self-possessed, he appeared to me to solicit our reason rather than our emotions. Not that he is without emotional appeal. I found him an attractive man. and I much enjoyed the play of his quiet, sparkling wit. His charm, tact, warmth and seemingly bashful smile made him very appealing in a very human way. The gift? What else but the Liberal Lead- ership Convention! And the pleasure? The fourth ballot that gave Pierre Elliott Trudeau the leadership of the Liberal Party. In the re- marks that follow. I’ll try to explain some of the Ways in which I find Mr. Trudeau an impressive man, and Why I think his political future promises so much. Not an easy decision because it‘s so difficult to know whether your choice can be successful. Even so, I wish to report that this past weekend brought me a gift that not. only gave me the most blissful pleasure, but actually transported me out of my hospital environment for hours! Both Reeve Stewart Rumble and Deputy-reeve S. J. Gadsby were in favor of continuing the use of en- gineering and planning consultants rather than hiring a full-time director. Mr. Rumble noted that the township had difficulty in How often have you been in the position of wondering what to give a hospitalized friend to relieve the tedium of a long stay in bed 1’ Should it be something that will brighten walls made dreary because they’re so confining"?
