in harmony by a good tune. Anyway we all end up singing in unison, Dum dum dee dum . Let us look at the future of our constitution as a cooperative effort. In English Canada we must particularly guard against the assumption that any change is appeasement of the French. We are not in a contest with Quebec for control of the country, although we have interests which we have a right to maintain. It is false to believe that if one region or group is satisfied, the other necessarily loses. We must stop looking upon our two languages as a burden and think of them as an opportunity. Here I detect a notable difference between the views of young people and old, and you have to reform your parents - many of whom are compensating for their failure to learn French at school. You people have a wider vision of this country and the world. You also have audio-visual methods and tape recorders and Petula Clark and Monique Leyrac to teach you. Your parents only had Maurice Chevalier. It isn't so much real problems in this fabulous, rich country as fear and suspicion that cast shadows on our future. It bothers me that so many well- intentioned people concentrate all their attention on the hostilities between French and English Canadians. These do exist and we mustn't ignore them. But it is high time we spoke more of the deep bonds of unspoken affection which unite us. I lived long enough on the banks of the Ottawa to feel this in very personal terms. It is the message which I think we in Ontario need to bring to the rest of the country. We are of Old Canada, the people who have lived beside our French brothers for two hundred years. We have argued with them, got mad at them, and attended each other's funerals and weddings. We would feel as lonely and bereft without each other as would the Maple Leafs and the Canadiens if hockey were abolished. The long association has taught us both tolerance, and in spite of the shouts of angry men, it is tolerance which is the most blessed virtue of Canadian government and the Canadian way of life. That is why we are the freest people in the world. We have had during the past week a deeply moving example of the way in which we can be united in affection for one man - or a man and a woman. We have had also a reminder of the splendour of our traditions in the solemn and strangely joyous funeral of our Governor General. It was a very Canadian oc- casion, but in the ceremonial we were aware of what we have derived from our countries of origin - no less Canadian because our ancestors brought it across an ocean. Of all General Vanier's words the one which will stay longest in the memory of many of us will be those which he made when he summoned up the final reserves of his strength in a plea to Canadians last New Year's Day. He said, The way to unity is the way of love. It is a lesson twenty centuries old, but it has a special meaning for this country in its hundredth year of union. It has also a special meaning for those of us who have known the comradeship of this College and who through it have felt the quality of the Quaker tradition. Our Centennial project should be to make this great community of Canadians truly a Society of Friends. I NIQIZ 0106111
