‘Tis the season to be wary.

That’s right - wary not merry.

Christmas just isn’t what it used to
be - yule logs, electric lights on the
tree, holly, mistletoe, carols, Santa
Claus and ail that sort of seasonal stuff.
Joy, carols, Santa Claus and all that
sort of seasonal stuff. Joy, innocence, a
comfortable meal.

Take Christmas tree lights for
instance. They're a No-No! on all
artificial trees. The fire department
would rather you didn’t use them at all.
As for the trees, keep them out of the
house if possible’ - They’re a big enough
hazard out there in the woods.

The Yule log used to be so comfy and
cheery but today it only adds to the po-
llution problem. As for the unguided
mistletoe, it could have serious

If you drink, don’t drive, Better still, if
you drive - don’t drive,

That leaves us with the Christmas
dinner. Wait! Drop that fork! Don't
take a chance With all those additives,
cyclamates, calories and mercury the
good old Christmas dinner becomes a
meal of death. Besides somebody s-
omewhere has likely got a cranberry
boycott on the go. Well, you wouldn’t be
able to wash the dishes because
detergent is a dirty word.

Of course, you can always go to

check with your psychiatrist. See what

Wary

Some years ago the American writer
and wit, Don Marquis, theorized that
boredom with the welfare state and the
affluent society would soon drive
people back to barbarism.

Listen to any newscast today, scan
the papers, watch television or the
movies and it seems fairly obvious that
we are fast reaching that stage of
retrogression. We live with violence
every day and it’s doing something
dreadful to the psyche. We’ve
developed an immunity to shock, a
tortoise shell against compassion.

and massacre have left us numb. —_.

It is a matter of statistical record
that out of ten dramatic sequences in
television designed for children, three
are openly violent. In addition 71
percent of children’s programs have at
least one violent scene, many of them
involving the use of weapons. Even
more startling is the fact that little or
no serious damage ever results.

Famine in Pakista.is.too remote; war.

Xmas

The violence is part of the game. It is
condoned and becomes an acceptable
problem solver. Is it any wonder then
that it spills over into the nation’s
behaviour patterns in our streets and
parks and even our homes? Are we
bringing up a generation of insensitive,
brutalized human beings to whom
violence on TV and in the world at
large are mucn the same? The answer
is probably ‘yes’ and ‘no’. “Yes’ from -
those likely to be affected by watching
dramatized violence, ‘no’ from those
young people who sing peace songs and

-on defenceless people.

However, we cannot risk one child
being infected by the violence he or she
watches on television or movies. A
campaign against this type of mind
pollution is needed just as urgently as
the campaign against the pollution of
our environment,

census figures now out

-Even though Terrace and
Kitimat didn’t make the top ten

. in size, population wise, they did

do a little growing of their own.
Terrace grew from 8,639 in 1966
to an impressive 10,004 this
year. In the same period
Kitimat leaped from 9,792 to
11,813.

Montreal remains both the
largest city and the largest
metropolitan area in-Canada,
according to preliminary 1971
population figures released this
week by the Census Division of
Statistics Canada.

In second place is.the Census
metropolitan area of Toronto,
which has moved to within
110,000 ‘of Montreal's
population. Metrolpolitan
Vancouver joins the two older
centres in the “over-a-million’”’
population category.

The fifth and last bulletin of a
series covering some 4,700
cities, . towns, © villages,
townships ‘and other municipal
units, showed “metropolitan
Montreal with a preliminary’
population count of 2,720,418 --
an increase of six percent since
1966. . Toronto’s metro
Population stood at 2,609,638,
representing a growth of 16
percent, and Vancouver’s at
1,071,081, 15 percent over the.
last census,

Other metropolitan areas in
the top ten, with 1966-71 growth
rates shown in. brackets, are

Ottawa-Hull, 596,176 (13
percent); Winnipeg, 534,695 (5
percent); Hamilton, 495,864 (10
percent); Edmonton, 490,811 (16
percent); Quebec, 476,232 (9
percent); Calgary, 400,154 (21
percent); and Niagara-St.
Catherines, 301,108 (6 percent).

The preliminary figures
indicate that growth rates have
slowed down since 1966, due to
lower birth rates and
immigration, They also show
that most of the growth has
occurred in the fringe or

suburban parts of the larger
metropolitan centres, usually at
the expense of “eore”” cities and
smaller towns and_ rural
communities.

For: example, populations
within the city limits of
Montreal and Winnipeg actually
declined between 1966 and 1971,
and had it not been for boundary
changes in Halifax, Saint John
and Quebec, these three cities
would also have shown’ lower
populations, .
