Mrs. Smith first became int- erested in the problems of pre- serving the Canadian heritage when she began collecting Can- adiana. It began to appear to her that we were neglecting our heritage. "The difference between our Canada and the United States is that they defied law and or der to set up their own nation in 1776. In those daysrthe lead. ers of the US. were all rebels. “In Canada we are heirs to a civilization that was actually wrestled from the wilderness by our ancestors.

He reassured ‘ them. however that teachers and staff have a commitment to the schools and to the students. Although time is of the essence, he added, “As staff we would be very disap- pointed if there was dif- ferent treatment of schools in this area (south of the proposed Highway 407) be- cause we may loose them in two years or ten." Richmond Hill Trustee Robert Ross was not sure that the acâ€" tion suggested by the board was in the general best interest. Municipalities. he said. should be more concerned with land use. sewers. etc. than with schools. that a broader base for local government is necessary for future development. “In the past.” said Mr. Ross. “Small municipalities have failed to unite in an effort to get these things alone I don‘t know if education is as impor- tant as all that land that is lay- ing dormant.” Trustees from all areas of the county approved Mr. Jolliffe’s motion that a committee pre- pare a strongly worded brief to be submitted to provincial authorities.

This brought irate comments from other trustees. King Township Trustee Mar- vin Hunter also approved inde- pendent action on the part of the board. “We in the north would not like to lose our friends in the south.” "In Canada law and the Roy- al Mounted Police preceded settlement.

JEAN SMITH Dominion Day Defender Domik H urls One-Hitter 52 NUMBERS “Recent governments have done everything they can to el- iminate our traditional symbols. The main excuse for adopting our new flag was that Quebec couldn‘t respect the old sym- bols. “But Quebec doesn‘t respect the flag. The fleur-de-lis is still important to them because of its royal and religious symbol- ism. Mrs. Smith says the name Dominion was freely chosen by the Fathers of Confederation, and was taken out of the Bible. The name Dominion Day was also freely chosen at Confeder- ation, and has been used for over 100 years. “They have their problem be- cause their whole tradition is against law and order. and their heroes are revolutionaries." “Now in the 20th century people like President Richard Nixon are saying that people must respect law and order and are wondering why they can’t create this respect. had mob rule Tomatoes 39¢ Lb.

She sent her petition to Prime Minister Trudeau and to Barney Danson. MP York North. Mr. Danson sent it on to Secretary of State Gerard Pelletier. she says. “If we are going to legislate away all the old symbols of our heritage. where are we going ‘to pick it up again?" asks the Thornhill housewife. ‘ “The monarchy is a safe- guard. We are lucky to have it". she says. Mrs. Smith was disturbed when the matter of changing the name of Dominion Day was suggested by certain groups and given consideration in the Justice Committee of the House of Commons. “So we should preserve the rest of the important symbols of our heritage. Our heritage was dearly won and is of im- mense value. COst to Richmond Hill youngsters is $12 for one camp period. and $15 for out-of-town boys and girls. Call the “Y” 884-4811 for further information. “Most young people of this age feel there should be a lot of opportunity to do what they want.“ de- clares YWCA executive di- rector Verna Harries, “and the strength of the day camp program lies in the fact that campers in each age group enter into activi- ties ‘at the’ level suited to particular stages of de- velopment. Different activi- ties and methods of presen- tation give campers new ex- periences each year."
