BLUE A XI) WHITE I 4 7 l.i 64 Citizens In A Greater Canada Written by the Honourable Paul Martin, Minister of National Health and Welfare, for “The Blue and White. Year Book of Walkerville Collegiate, Windsor, Ontario. This year many of the students of Walkerville Collegiate will graduate from the school to enter University or to take their places with the other Canadian men and women in the offices, factories and farms of our great country. In graduating from Walkerville Collegi¬ ate you will leave behind the pleasant associations of your high school years to take up the serious business of becoming mature citizens of Canada. As citizens you assume a partnership in the future and destiny of Canada. As citi..ens you will take an active part in the affairs of your community, your city and your country. It is no light responsibility. It meins much for you and in turn you mean much to your country. Becoming a citizen of Canada means accepting a solemn obligation that is made up of both duties and responsibilities. The fact that you are ready to assume the responsi¬ bilities of citizenship should bring to you a feeling of comradeship, of common unity and common purpose. For the broad meaning of citizenship implies both unity and working together for the common good. We. who have the proud name of Canadian, know that is is a great privilege to bear it. Canada is a fortunate country. It has been endowed by Cod with great result rets. hu citizens have shown themselves to he gifted with energy, intelligence and a high standard of civic responsibility. In the troubled world of to-day Canada is a land blessed with peace and plenty. These advantages and all that flow from them are the heritage of all Canadian citizens. You become equal partners in that heritage. The Canada of the future will be what you and the men and women of your generation make of her. Never in our history has there been a greater opportunity for youth than exists today. My the same token, never were the challenges for youth greater than they are t i-dav. Canada needs vour youth and your strength, and what our country will become depends upon how you serve Canada. One of the hardest tasks is to measure up to the traditions of courage, enterprise and devotion set by the men who have served Canada in the past. I do not mean only the names which you have read and studied in your history books—Champlain. Frontenac; Wolfe and Montcalm: I’apineau and Mackenzie: MacDonald and l.aurier. The list of great Canadians would include the humble men and women whose names are not recorded in any his ' ory hook hut who have made the country that you inherit. They are the men and women who built farms and homes in this great country. They conquered the wilderness and founded our cities. They founded our schools and colleges, built our roads and mapped the wide expanses of our country. The honour roll includes the men who work o ur mines and till the soil and in a hundred different occupations make our country a better place in which to live and work. It is not wealth that makes a country great. It is not physical size nor the number of its population which excel a nation. The real strength of a nation is in the character of its people. That is one of the principal virtues of proper appreciation of the values of citizen¬ ship—that it builds character. Citizenship imposes a duty on each and all of us to be tolerant, understanding and patient. But citizenship is a thing we all have in common, which binds us together and makes us a people. In that common fact — in the pride and the duty of which it is the symbol, lies our unity and our strength. You are about to become partners in your Canadian heritage. I welcome you to your new estate. Me uorthv of it. cherish it. and the future of Canada will be secure.
