How many times have you
heard, ‘‘Things ain’t what
they used to be"? Well, the

world is certainly changing, .

but have people’s manners
changed? Is everybody lock-
ed into thelr own little Selfish
world? This week the Inquir-
ing Reporter asks: Is chivalry
dead?

1 am just astounded by our _

MP’s latest ‘Report from
‘Ottawa,’ (July 76) in which
he seeks to blame the
Catholic Church and Quebec
education system for isola-
ting French: speaking Cana-

dians from the mainstream of

Canadian life.

Perhaps at one time this
could be held to be true, but
certainly no longer. In the
early .1950s our present
Prime Minister became. act-
ive in a monthly publication
called ‘Cité Libre.’ It was
instrumental-in turning lib-
eral and progressive forces in
Quebec against the Union
Nationale regime of Maurice
Duplesis. It maintained an
avante garde position in
saying things others dared
not say about politics and
society in Quebec.

In 1952 after Trudeau
returned from an _Inter-
national: Economic Confer-

Doris Orr
North Vanceuver

No, I don’t think chivalry is,
dead. I think that most of the
people I meet are well-man-
nered and nice to me.

The Church no_ longer
‘holds a position of social
influence ‘over Quebecers
any more than the Church
across -Canada does. over
other Canadians. The
Québec education. systern is
one of: the best and most
advanced in the country, (the
B.C. education system
somewhere . ahead of: New. |
foundlands).

‘It. seems incredible that
‘Mr. ‘Huntington .and his
Consetvative. Party’ have .
failed to keep pace with the
realities of our present
‘society. If this-is his party
line, then it ‘is over twenty.
years behind the times. This
is the party that wants to
govern all of Canada? Do we
.,want to progress into the
‘future or: egress into the
past?

ence, he helped put together .

a book of. essays | entitled La

de l’Amiante, in which —

he proceéded' to. show how

social and economic.thought.
in Quebec: had failed to keep.
pace with the realities of |

modern, society. In the.

epilogue, he suggested that:

and patriotism with imm-

obility, we will lose by |
_ default that which {ts at.
play between all cultures...

An entire generation is
hesitating at the brink of
commitment.

The book appeared in the

provincial election year, of
1936, tho last year Duplessis |
won a term of office. As the

term drew to-a close, . Me.

Trudeau issued an a al to
the readers of ‘Cite Libre’ to
support the Liberals in the

that our fast pace of living
tends to alienate people from

It would seem to be a bad
move by West Vancouver

even approval in principle for .
