To commemorate the first conference, an imposing Fathers of Confederation Memorial Building has been erected in’ Charlottetown at a cost of five and one-half million dollars. It includes . _& modern 1,200-seat theatre, are ‘gallery, archives and meeting halls: It sits next to the old Provincial Build- ings, ‘where the + deeply- Tutted concrete steps lead- ing into the building and the original conference room bear testimony to the thou- sands of feet which have trod in the footsteps of the Fathers of Confederation in

tival at which amateur play groups from all parts of the country, performed.

Because’ Prince Edward Island has a population of only 105,000 with little. in- dustry other than farming and: fishing, the cost was shared by all. ten

pro- vircicl governments and Ottawa. As a result, every Canadian has a 30 cent share in the structure.

CBC-TV's “Quest” and other: shows, is now in Hollywood producing the syndicated nightly Steve Allen show. Duke thinks there are fewer restrictions. in tele- vision in the-U.S. than Canada, especially on the Allen show. ..“Here is tele-

‘yision as it should be,” he

said. . “‘No restrictions.”

why building should be erected in isolated Prince Edward Island. To me, it is a siga of Canada’s coming of age — that we at. last feel strongly enough about our heritage and our cultural values to sink hard cash into this kind of a project.

The {sland draws thou- sands of tourists each year, and I predict it will draw many more in the future. For those who haven't been there, I can only say it’s an emerald island, mainly pastoral, but with beautiful beaches, warm ocean water, rich red soil, striking green meadows and interesting towns. Charlottetown, the capital, has. only 18,000.people and the other main town, Sum- merside,. has less ‘than

,000.

Politically, the Island is worrled about the tendency:, of the richer provinces to assert greater autonomy in fiscal affairs. Its Conserya- tive premier, the vigorous ‘T-year-old Walter. Shaw; is worried that the Island

will Iose out on federal as- >", sistance. This is a fear:

shared by many provincial premiers who are unsure of where the path of Ot-

tawa’s new ‘co-operative ..

federalism” will lead Canada.

The bookjacket blurb to this effort warns it is a “first novel.” The hero, Grigsby, super-gueritta_ in World War I, is sent single- handed to Malaya to stop Communism. Sex, jungle violence, but not much ad- venture.

.. Yesterday, Today and To- morrow, is a three-story Italian comedy | starring Sophia Loren and Mar- cello Mastroianni, The dia- logue is in Italian, but the English sub-titles are easy to read. The film tells three separate . stories. In the opener Miss L. appears as a married woman in postwar Naples who .is caught for helping her husband to seli black market cigarettes.

Have a problem? Write to Canadian: social worker * Doris Clark in care of this newspaper.

DEAR DORIS—I ‘am a middle-aged divorcee, A friend ‘of mine once told me you should kiss a man for. driving you home.

What are you supposed to - | do?

. J met’ a bachelor at a dance who drove me home. He approached me with sex. He thinks that’s the only way you can find the right mate. However, 1 don’t agree.

PRIM AND PROPER

DEAR PRIM—That js a good line, but that’s all it is, Unscrupulous males often usa the excuse that they can't find the right mate without experlment- ing.

It just isn’t so, Human love can be a far superior emotion to physical attrac-

in. Two people who find themselves drawn to each, other companionably, be- cause they have-similar in- terests and feel the same way about things, can de- velop a physical interest in each other which is far more ‘satisfying and perm- anent than anything which comes of mere physical at- traction.

Re kissing as a pay-off for a happy’ evening: the answer is NO.

DEAR DORIS—I am the most mixed up 13-yeat-old around, I think. 1 have one brother and one’ sister. They have.so many nick- names for me I don’t know if they are talking to me or not. Most of the time they treat me like an animal. They pick on me and if they don't feel like doing any work they make me do

My Mom and Dad are just as_bad, I lay in bed

and cry to. myself thinking about it, It makes me so mad I think I could some- times take an overdose’ of sleeping pills.

DEAR UNWANTED—Be- .

lieve ‘it’ or not, nicknames

you ‘and it’s my’ guess they would put up a fight!

Life can be rough on us at 18. But things improve. Next time you feel like cry- ing, find a shoulder to cry on — either Mother's or Dad's. They have‘no idea how badly you feel.

DEAR DORIS — Could you help me with my prob- lem? I would like a job keeping house in a mother- less home, or for an elderly couple—in short, where I wouldn't be working for. another woman. I'am 42 years of age, and I have a 15-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son with me,

I wrote to the employ- ment office and got a form to fll out. I don’t want forms; I need a place to work,
