There are articles in papers and magazines and m abund- ance of books expressing com cam on the subject. They curse the government, bewail the. geographical limit. ations of the country, state that Canada is a puppet of the Unit. ed States, and assail the eduea. tional system. Having much to say about pol- itieal and social problems has al- ways been the privilege of wri. ters, but 'the thing which has been "getting to me" is the com stant barrage of articles about the Canadian himself. They say: His color is gray; his personality is blah; he is the unfortunate product of a Pom- bination of German and Scot; the men prefer booze to girls; the women prefer bridge to men; the college students have no enthusiasm; and art shows no emotion __ because there is none to show. 'Q _ T" ". -_ Can you imagine ‘a French- man in speaking about his coun- trymen, saying, "THEY are hot tempered, impulsive and tem. peremental"? Indeed not.

When will we get off this kick of criticizing and anlyzing and psycho-analyzing the Canadian. Does telling me I have; bad case of acne help me get over it? Our concern reminds me of the three grandmothers and eight aunts fussing over an adolescent girl. Let's stop worrying about the Canadian, quit giving her her. mane pills; don't make her wear a brassiere until she needs it; let her wear socks and sneakers instead of heels, and chew gum instead of metracal cookies. She'lt grow up quickly enough into a full-fledged woman it shes no? gmothered "ity. con- cern. Then the Canadian male can walk happily down the street and ignore the pretty girls and whistle at buxomy beer bottles and shapely decanters, and tho Canadian woman can produly say, "Long live the King and the queen.
