Open Monday to Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m Publisher: Paul Winkler Page 6 â€" Waterloo Chronicle, Ontario‘s Speaker of the House Jack Stokes may have raised some concerns about the preceâ€" dent he was setting, but his strong reprimand of MPP Ed Ziemba remains warranted. 7 The NDP member for High Parkâ€"Swansea, Ziemba refused to apologize for some unâ€" parliamentary remarks he made about fellow members of the House and how they allegedly bought their seats with patronage appointments. The remarks, made in the House, didn‘t go unâ€" noticed by Speaker Stokes, who advised the soâ€" metimes renegade MPP he had better give serious thought to retracting them. Ziemba would not and Stokes accordingly inâ€" voked a British parliamentary tradition of refusâ€" ing to "see‘‘ Ziemba until he does apologize. It‘s strong tonic, but as the Speaker told reâ€" porters later, he must maintain order and the authority of his office. â€" It‘s the Speaker‘s prerogative to uphold those traditions and ingrained principles of the House, with severe measures if necessary. We‘re glad to see that the affair isn‘t parâ€" ticularly partisan with Stokes being a fellow NDP member apd Ziemba‘s leader Michael Casâ€" sidy urging the member to coâ€"operate with the request to apologize.

The respect and affection which Canadians felt for the monarch across the seas and the mystique of constiâ€" tutional monarchy were among the sustaining forces during the early period. Author and historian Wilâ€" liam Kilbourn has written that ‘*By 1880 a new repreâ€" sentative of the Queen had arrived, her own sonâ€"inâ€"law, the Marquess of Lorne...His lady, Princess Louise, found the rough ways of Canadian society distasteful. But she managed to patronize chariâ€" ties, befriend artists, run a good household and generalâ€" ly admire the view â€" so well that the report of her was excellent...To give cultural leadership to the Dominion, Lord Lorne founded the Royal Ca@rdian Academy for its leading artists in 1880 and the Royal Society of Canada for the furthering of scholarship in 1882." In an age of constant change our Royal Family â€" admittedly a shared resourâ€" ce â€" gives Canada a sense of balance in a way that. a disâ€" tinguished, prime minis s subscriptions : $14 a year. in Canada $16 a year in United States and Foreign Countries terially appointed Goverâ€" norâ€"General can not do durâ€" ing a temporary term of office. + Sir Robert Borden aptly described the Governor as in effect a nominated preâ€" sident."" If some Canadians feel distant from their Maple Crown, the fault lies with the politicians who have prevented it from fulâ€" filling its potential. The results of the May 20 Quebec referendum signal the end of the status quo in the way our government is organized. Sound constituâ€" tional change can renew Canadian unity and cour sense of identity. Is there a way for Canada to have the benefits of hereâ€" ditary constitutional monâ€" archy while ending what an increasing number of Canaâ€" dians see as the anomaly of a nonâ€"resident head of state? % Nothing is perfect and the monarchy is no exception. Where it is deficient it can be improved. Before our constitutional heritage is eroded any further, I suggest that it be reinforced by asking one of Her Majesty the Queen of Canada‘s children other than the Prince of Wales (who is to succeed his mother as King of the Unitâ€" ed Kingdom and His Other Realms etc. and Head of the Commonwealth) to evenâ€" tually assume royal duties Editor: ° Phil Jalsevac June 4, 1980 established 1854 as Prince/Princess, Viâ€" ceroy /Vicereine or _ King /Queen of Canada. f An interesting variety of Canadianâ€"born governors could still be appointed periodically â€" hopefully by the monarch from alist subâ€" mitted by the prime minisâ€" ter â€" to represent the monâ€" arch and the federal presenâ€" ce at the regional level. We would have a fullâ€"time Canadian sovereign with a lifelong detachment from political commitments save to democracy and the rule of law. This could only give added: impetus to Samuel de Chamâ€" plain‘s dream, echoed by the Fathers of Confederaâ€" tion, of a great northern kingdom. High school athletes in Waterloo have one advanâ€" tage that no other high school students in the ‘‘*Nationalist" republicans could no longer make the tiresome comment that our Maple Crown is a colonial relic. Our hat‘s off to Rick Ronald Welker Dietz Ave. Waterloo county have. They have the Waterloo Chronicle. As a coach of W.C.1.‘s Vikâ€" ing Track & Field Team, my ‘hat is off" to Rick Campâ€" bell who has produced exâ€" tensive and very positive arâ€" ticles for these high school athletes, their families and friends. It‘s easy for me to state my approval because this year happens to be a very successful year for the W.C.1. team and a winning team always gets good coâ€" verage. ‘ What pleases me most, however, is the equally as extensive coverage of the other high schools in Waâ€" terloo who didn‘t come out on top but were there com; peting with every bit as much effort and enthuâ€" siasm. I know that some day our team may find itself lower on the totem pole of success andâ€"I‘m encouraged to know that we won‘t be forgotten. In any personal contact I have had with Rick, I have pleasing for all students in Waterloo‘s high s@®Rools beâ€" cause they are very positive and feature not only the winâ€" ning individuals but many other not so successful but just as important competiâ€" Rick‘s articles have to be found that he was always willing to speak with coaches and athletes and print their story perhaps more than his personal view. To me, this is what high school reporting is all about. Students are often quite impressionable and they will always remember that honest, straightforward and personal touch. I thank you Rick, on beâ€" half of myself and many other coaches, and we hope you continue. The elderly merit respect At one time, respect for the elderly was almost uniâ€" versal. But that is not the case today. In this regard, a college professor observed old age is (regarded as) a» disease in America. The aged person becomes a leper to be put away in some Our modern age has seen many rapid changes.

Read 2 Timothy 3:2â€"5. One of the most grievous problems of the aged is loneâ€" liness. All too many feel unâ€" loved and unwanted. Cerâ€" tainly the elderly need to feel wanted and loved. If they are not, many may just give up on life. I have found that younger persons who take an interest in older ones often find the experience enriching. Why? Older persons have lived longer, have usually exâ€" perienced many more things in life. Their views and reâ€" collections can be very vaâ€" luable. It is not only good counsel and information that older ones can give. f Many upset young people have found great peace of mind in the company of older ones, who often have a warmth, affection and unâ€" derstanding that is very apâ€" pealing. This does not mean every elderly person speaks words of wisdom. Nobody does Yet, not withstanding their imperfections, many of which are caused by old age, the elderly merit our consideration and respect. So don‘t pass us by. Just say "hello, Oldtimer." W.D.
