What the prime minister has said
here is that if a province such as B,C.
acts in such a way that it appears to be
going its own way, at the expense of the
nation, then stop it. It matters not if the
provincial action actually isn’t weakening

MP. Proposes Student Exchange for 1967
Centennial Involving Over 10,000 Youths °

Ottawa Prescott
Journal

One of the most effective
centennial ‘plans for Canada,
designed to give Canadians a
better understanding of. their
own. .people. and their. own
country, has been advanced by
Gordon Aiken, MP MP for” Parry
Sound ‘Muskoka.

Aiken has aimed ‘his
plan MP “Canada’s 's young people,
high school ‘students in‘ p:
cular, and’ it should be adopted
by Parliament.

‘What he has proposed is

to unite
country. Mr. Aiken, ‘in giving
the background of his propos-
ed. legislation states: “Every-
one. who.has' studied Canada’s
problems, political, social and
economic, agrees that: they
arise from its immense size

and ‘diversity of intereat These
problems are magnified by la

lerstanding in each area

of the outlook of others and

Siick to Your Guns, Mr. Premier.

- "The Vancouver Province, in an editorial
recently, urged Mr. Bennett to stick to his
guns on the Stupich - Bennett formula,
which calls for two MLAs to each federal
riding, following federal redistribution.
The Province says the Premier ‘should
not listen, "to the Revelstoke MLA ‘atid the

and square miles to compare rural and ur-
ban representation.

and nature not previously un-

dertaken, and one which only
a central body would be able
to sponsor and ui ite.

He has pointed out to Par-
Yament ‘and to’the press that
several organizations are pre-
sently sponsoring student &

Considerable: thought has

already\ been put-into Mr. Al-

Ken's plan, ane Aye agree ue

be voluntary, open to all stu-
dents within the selected gra-
des, provided only. that the
student had passed his or her
previous year’s examination.

(e) The’ exchange would
be massive, geared to make a
noticeable impact on Canadian
life and its. youth, with a tar-
get of 100,000 students in 1967,
and a contin
thereafter.’ .

The "idea of the ‘exchange
is that parents of a student de-
siring .to exchange. would be
hosts: to another ‘student of
the same age, sex and school
grade for: one school. term,
while their child becomes the
guest.of the other home. The
students, in: short, would ‘be
exchanging homes, ‘The foster
parents would provide for the
visiting student as they would
for their own child and the
friends of the home and ab-
sent student’ would’ form a
circle into which the visiting
student could easily fit.

Such an exchange would
be available to all, and would
cost the student and his family
nothing. For one: school ter
he or she would become ‘part
of the life of the new family,
town, school and province.-

While this idea seems

possibility that, the interior could lose 50
per cent of its provincial representation if
the formula were implemented.

Of course the Vancouver Province,
which seldom .looks bey Van-
couver, wants more répresentation at the
expense of the great hinterland of this
province. As long‘as the interior, as it
has done for a generation, pours susten-
ance into Vancouver, all is well, but at
the same time it refuses to recognize a
fair basis of representation in the legis-
lature, formulated on both geographical
and population considerations.

The Province made a big case dur‘
ing the session of the legislature by a ser-
ies of “cartoons” depicting by use of dots,

d irrel population
in rural and urban ridings. A similar case
eould be made for fair rural represent-

Concern over CBC programming re-
minds one man of an occasion when a

ago was guilty of a lapse in good taste,

“Sir, you are out of order,” he said.

tion of it.

It is a strange formula which says
the lower mainland should have increas-
ed representation because of growth but
this ‘section of the interior, which is grow-
ing ‘faster than ever before, should lose
representation. Certainly that is not the
kind of formula which other provinces
adopt when redistribution takes place.

We don’t think the Premier is the
kind of person to adopt a formula, first
