EDITORS NOTE:.This, the third week of February is a nn ually set aside for BROTHERHOOD WEEK. Brotherhood Week comes and goes each year, and living in a community s'u ch a s ours, relatively remote from t he prejudice experienced today in the Southern United States and elsewhere, Brotherhood, or the full implication of it, can sometimes too easily be forgot- ten. T o b r i n g t h e true significance of B r otherhood Week closer to home, we of fer the simple yet beautiful thoughts of Chief Dan George, National Brother- hood Chairman BROTHERHOOD My friends, how desperately DO we need to be loved and to love. Love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. We m u s t have it because without it we becomeweak and faint. Without love our self esteem weakens. Without it our courage fails. Without love we can no longer look out confidently at the worl d. I n s t ead we turn inwardly and begin to feed upon our own personal ities and lit- tle by little we destroy ourselves. Soon it w i Il| be too late to know my c u l t ure for integration is upon us and soon we (the Indian race) will have no va I u es but your s. Already so many of ouryoung people have forgotten the old w a ys. And many have been ashamed of their Indian ways by scorn and derision. My culture is like a wounded stag that has crawled away into the forest to bleed and die alone. Theonly thing that can truly help us isgenuine love. Youmust truly love us, This pv day . . . remember Chief Dan George be patient with us and share with us. And we must love you with a genuine love that forgives and forgets. .. a love that forgives the t e r r i b le sufferings your culture brought ours when it swept o v e r u s 1ike a wave crashing along a beach... w i th a love that forgets and lifts up its head and sees in your eyes an answering look of trust and accept- ance. This i s Brotherhood, anything less is not worthy of the name!

" The original target date, April 3rd has been changed because of the heavier than usual mail flow anticipated between the Thursday before Good Friday and Easter Monday. Although postal authoritieswould fnot committ themselves to a definite number of w or kers to be affected through the change until meeting with the unions in- v o 1 ved, R. B. Chessum, Eastern Mgr. for the Central Ontario Postal District estimates,"no more than two or three. " When asked if he felt that postal auth- oritieshadled Whitby up the proverbial garden path in meetings leading to the final decision, Mr. Chessum refused to comment. Aletter from J. G. Cunningham, Cen- t r a 1 D irector, giving 90 day notice in advance of the day of implementation, was referred to Council's administra- tive on Monday night.
