* Readers‘ letters to the editor Merchants in mall In a recent speech on Internaâ€" tional â€" Education â€" Year, W.S. Stevens, minister of education and health for Dominica, West Indies, said the Project Schoolâ€" toâ€"School is bringing about closâ€" er human understanding beâ€" tween the two peoples. He callâ€" .ed on the United Nations to adopt the program as a means of esâ€" tablishing _ useful _ friendships throughout the entire world, reâ€" gardless of color, class or creed. 1 was shocked to read of the political bickering that plagued the recent meeting of the World Youth Assembly of the United Nations. The accounts reaffirmed my faith in the need for programs such as the Ontario department of education‘s Project Schoolâ€" to School. As coâ€"ordinator of this program since its incepâ€" tion in January 1968, it has given me great satisfaction to see it establish a growing bond of friendship apd understanding between our people and those of the developing countries of the Commonwealth Caribbean. Through the exchange of letâ€" ters and personal mementoes and classroom projects reflectâ€" ing their dayâ€"toâ€"day life and their cultural heritage, over 300,000 students from _ many ethnic backgrounds, share their lives and express very positive views regarding their aspirations for world peace, understanding and mutual respect. *‘*Without communication there can be no understanding. Withâ€" out understanding there can be no respect. Without respect there can be no peace." _ Recently, the Project Schoolâ€" toâ€"School coâ€"ordinators from 17 Commonwealth Caribbean states attended a seminar in Toronto sponsored by the department of education. At that time, Eduâ€" cation Minister William G. Davis, summed up the expressed views of thousands of Canadian and West Indian youth when he statâ€" To many this statement will be an oversimplification of the world‘s ills But, where better to begin? Special projects section, Ontario departmentof education. GEORGE J. MASON It is time we pointed out that the majority of Canadians do not label our neighbors to the south a Fascist aggressor; that we do not put out a red carpet for US. draft dodgers and deserters or condone the actions of those who picket the US. consuls carrying the flag of the Viet Cong. Our American cousins are to be admired for protecting their conâ€" stitution of freedom and rights â€" even when it results in the desâ€" truction of their flag and the murder of their president: for answering the call of nations under attack; for continuing to give foreign aid even when their hand is bitten and motives imâ€" pugned; for keeping their cool in the face of envy, ungraciousness and treason; for keeping alive the concept of individual liberty and faith in God in a world wallowing in humanistic collectivism. I believe I speak for the Silent Majority of Canadians when I say Thank You America for some 200 years of contributing to the betterâ€" ment of mankind. No other nation has, in so brief a history, conâ€" tributed so much and asked so little â€" only that mankind live toâ€" gether in peace and freedom ; that he be free to aspire to the extent of his own capabilities, willingâ€" ness to work and build a better mousetrap â€" with commensurate rewards. For these reasons and so much more, I say: ‘"Thank you America and God bless you."‘ The viscous minority involved in conducting a hate America campaign across Canada compels me to express a long overdue Thank You to our American couâ€" sIns.

Drums fill the ears of Satan, who claims to represent savagery, madness and ignorance himself, yet fails to mention his predecesâ€" sor, that scoundrel called human, who by far surpasses him in these deeds. All the reasoning of past and present times would not be sufâ€" ficient to keep humanity from prejudice nor repression. Delinquents of democracy, that condemn _ discrimination, _ yet practice racism. Should one merely blame, Hash and Mari, the twinâ€"maniacs, ravâ€" aging the countryside?
