Of the things we think, say or do. Is it the TRUTH? Is it fair to all concerned? The impossi By Stanley E. McCaffrey Remember the song “The Impossible Dream" from the famous Broadway musical, ‘‘Man of La Mancha?"’ Its haunting melody and magnificent words? To me they are always challenging and inspiring ... To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe, To bear with unbearable sorrow, To run where the brave dare not go. To right the unrightable wrong, To love pure and chaste from afar, To try when your arms are loo weary, To reach the unreachable star! This is my quest, to follow thal slar, No matter how hopeless, no matter how far; To fight for the right without question or pause, To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause! And I know, if I'll only be true to this glorious quest, That my heart will lie peaceful and clam, When I'm laid to my rest, And the world will be better for this; That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable stars. This song represents the thoughts and words of Don Quixote in his quest for what he saw as “the impossible dream.’ Don Quixote was a semitragic figure, who was laughable while being sad ‘and whose quest was never- ending. Yet I believe that every man has ‘‘an impossible dream,” that every community has dreams which somehow never reach fulfillment. And we all know that mankind has had an impossible dream which has continued through the ages to be elusive and which we have not been successful in achieving — the dream of peace among men, peace among nations, peace in the world. q. What does this. “impossible dream" ‘have..to.do with i#Rotary? | think it has everything lo do with rotary! Rotary z,has many objectives, ideals, and programs, and ‘they all ‘add up to the fact that Rotary, of all the institutions and ' organizations in the world, at this particular time in the . course of human events, is uniquely qualified and prepared , to help achieve “the impossible dream” — to make that : dream come true in the lives of individuals, in communities, - and indeed throughout the world. » How do we go about it, we in Rotary, to achieve the * fulfillment of “the impossible dream’? a " 4 | We begin, of course, with the individual Rotary elub and » the men who make up the membership of that club. Men are 4 invited to become members of Rotary because of qualities : they have, potential they may have indicated, and a spirit i they have demonstrated. Rotarians are leaders — out- ¢ standing men in their professions and in their communities. + Ef ever there is a potential for a group of men to perform “ miracles, thal potential resides in a Rotary club! « £ . ~ [firmly believe that every person who joins Rotary can « be helped to grow by having his life enriched by the friend- t ship of his fellow Rotarians, by having the opportunity to % serve his fellow man, and by becoming imbued with the : spirit of service. { We know also that bringing good men into Rotary *. requires planned effort, and we must continue in every ‘4 Rotary club in the worid to seek out those men.in the , community who we feel can benefit from Rotary and who * Can serve Rotary; We all know we need more fine Rotarians 2 — that in every communily there are younger men, and }. men of minority groups who we should seek to bring in to x enrich their lives and to help strengthen Rotary, * x With these leaders, hopefully representative of ever t aspect of the community and imbued with the Rotary ideal, » we begin then with an instrument prepared to accomplish . the realization of the otherwise “impossible dream.” * Building a strong club, with strong members dedicated to 3 Rotary, dedicated to service — this is where it all begins. : : If there is one thing that stands out in society today — in * the United States and throughout the world — ° itis lack of g, confidence, trust and faith in government, in business, in ® eslablished institutions.

Now isn’t this an absolutely perfect, ‘tailor-made’ op- portunity for Rotary? ‘ *. Rolary from its beginnings has exemplitied the finest of ethics and the highest of standards in businesses, vocations, and professions. The Object of Rotary and The Four-Way Test have become an integral part of Rotary and.of the lives 4 of Rotarians. Here is a rare opportunity for Rotarians to # take the lead in the establishment of the moral fiber and strength of people throughout the world. In what field is Rotary better qualified than in this one of ethics, integrity, and standards? If every Rotarian set about to once again be a symbol as a leader in business, a profession, or in whatever his work may be — one who is immediately recognized as having the finest of ethics, the highest of ‘ business practices, and being of unquestioned integrity _ would this not set a tone for every community in which Rotary exists? Would it not have a very significant impact upon fhe moral fiber and character of society throughout the world? =, ; such vital importance to the very fabric of our society. Let us as Rotarians and through Rotary, by our example and by aur programs, exemplify these ethics and high standards 4 t b > It surely appears to be ‘an impossible dream" to. - reestablish confidence ... to rebuild faith ... fo restore: The world cries oul for leadership in this area, which ts of ADVERTISING MANAGER Will it build GOOD RALPH KERMAN WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

Here indeed is a great and unique opportunity for Rotary. Let us in Rotary make this “impossible dream’ come true and restore faith, confidence, and trust in human af- ‘airs! : “The impossible dream” exists in every communily throughout the world, You and I know thal every com- munity has goals, ambitions, yes, dreams — which despite the best efforts of generations of leaders of that community, remain unfulfilled. These dreams consist of many things: the affording of equal opportunities to all citizens regar- diess of race, religion, color or creed — for equal op- portunities in education, in employment, in housing and in all aspects of life. They include the creation and establish- ment of an educational, cullural, and recreational en- vironment that provides the good life for all citizens of the community. This dream includes a vibrant, healthy, and growing economy — and strong backbone for comraunity growth and development. Certainly it includes a spiritual atmosphere, encouraging us to live as brothers, as men and women of good will, working together for a better life for ail. Now how can Rotary help achieve this “impossible dream” for a community? Well, you and I know that Rolary - throughout its 71 years has indeed been accomplishing impossible dreams in communities wherever it has existed. But have we done all we can toward the fulfillment of today's impossible dreams in our communities? No, much remains to be done that we are qualified to do. 1 always have the gnawing fear that we in Rolary may to some degree rest on past laurels. Dowe in Rotary share enough of ourselves? Are we doing all we Can? I don’t think there is a- Rotarian who would say that we. are, No? We can.all do. more ... and we mustdo more... os parece Het Me heteg Today as never before, we in Rotary should be at the cutling edge. We should be fighting that “unbeatable [oe,"’ we should help people reach that ‘‘unreachable star” in every community where Rotary exists. We should be tackling the toughest jobs, making sure that our efforts, as well as the money we contribule, are directed toward those most crucial needs which confront every community where Rotary is established. Here indeed is a great and ‘urgent cpportunity for us in Rotary to rejuvenate ourselves, to rededicate ourselves to making better communities. We do itnot only by ‘purse service,” important as is our financial support, but also by active personal and group. par- licipation, Build better communities, achieve impossible dreams and make the lives of citizens of our communities richer and better by our efforts through Rotary! The most elusive dream of all, one shared by mankind throughout the world and through the centuries, is the achievement of understanding among peoples, of nations, and peace in the world. Armies have fought for it, govern- . ments have negotiated for it, international organizations have been established to achieve it, and yet this ideal remains a dream — one for which we pray but one which surely has not yet been permanently realized. Tam convinced that in Rotary we have an organization, a mechanism, which can achieve more ... which can make a greater contribution towards the realization of the ideal than perhaps any other movement known to man! We en- courage negotialions among nations, we support the efforts of the United Nations, we hail the achievements which bring us at this moment a measure of peace, unsteady though it may be. But for longlasting understanding among men, leading toward a per eanent peace among nations in the world, Rotary, with its nearly 17,000 clubs in 151 countries, can be a mighty force for the fulfillment of this dream so precious to people everywhere. Through our international programs, through The Rotary Foundation, through contacts among the 151 nations who are a part of this greal international organization — in all these ways, hundreds and thousands of programs and contacts, each building one upon the other, Rotary can . become a mighty force for the achievement of thal long sought, constantly elusive ideal of peace among men and nations of the world. This is Rotary’s greatest opportunity, Rotary's greatest challenge. We must do all we can to constantly stress the importance to every Rotarian, to ‘every club, in all we do, that we each have‘a role in making’ a contribution to the fulfillment of this ideal, peace in the world. . There are stil] many impossible dreams held by in- dividual men and women, impossible dreams in every community still unfulfilled. That greatest impossible dream of all, stil] unrealized, is peace in our world. In all these, Iam firmly convinced that through our organization, Rotary International, we can help. bring into reality that otherwise has: rededicate ourselves with a new sense of purpose that we will help to imbue all those around us in Rotary to set forth on a crusade — nol the elusive quest of a Don Quixote — but a determined crusade of men capable of accomplishment, to enable ‘the impossible dream" to come true for in- dividuals, for communities, for the world. Through Rotary we can help men, communities, and the world make, the impossible dream come true. . “And the world will be better fer this” —that men -— not one, but nearly-800,000 men in 151 countries — were truc to — “their quest, and strove with their last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable star. _ +The author, a Rotarian of Stockton, California, is president of the University of the Pacific and a past vice president of From the Rotarian en an “impossible dream."

And yet mest stories that [ have read - about the issue, reduce the whole sad mess into a strictly English versus French affair. The present arrogance of the Canadian Air Line Pilot’s Association, that only English should be used at airports in Canada, is caused by the unjust and privileged position which English assumed abroad, as a result of British and American domination of the aircraft industry. Britain and America led the way in aviation lechnology. It was therefore inevitable that they would assume that English should be the “international language of aviation’. Recent bumper stickers have proclaimed this facl — proof positive that the issue involves a large portion of English arrogance imported from the international scene, The International Civil Aviation Organization deserves full blame for giving English a privileged and. lotally intolerable supremacy in the air. In the early stages of aviation expansion, the British and Americans imported their own controllers into foreign airports where landing rights were obtained in non- English areas. It was just an extension of this defacto situation, when English was named as the language to be used between foreigners, during landing procedures. The wrath and anger against the unjust use of English has been mitigated by the fact, that to elevate French or some other national language to take the place already held by English, instead of solving .. :the problem, would: -only = lve unequal advantage ‘to*, a other national language. The only just and workable solution to the problem is to strip English of its privileged. position and replace it with a language equally acceptable to ali, the = worl auxiliary longues racedures. A Pole speaks in Polish when tanding in Warsaw, and a German, in German, when landing in Berlin — certainly not in English. To extend the right to French Canadians to speak in French when landing in Quebec, is simp lo extend the right, recognized internationally, to speak one's own official language when landing on home territory. That has been considered safe for decades, so why pretend that safely is at stake now. John Condit wrote in the July issue of MacLeans, “Beneath all the pious talk of ‘keeping the airways safe" is a simple case of racism.” The real danger at large airports, exists precisely because English is used between foreign pilots and controllers. Tragedies have already occurred because of a variety of pigeon English sylables mispronounced by dapanese, Portugeuse and other pilots while landing. English is not suited for international use at airports and creates hazards, It is nal phonetic and is difficult lo learn. The world, as well as the Canadian problem could be solved and safety achieved, only by adopting Esperanto as the language of aviation. Dr. Margaret Mead, in an article for the “Mainliner”’ of Los Angeles wrote, “A second language would have to be introduced simultaneously all over the world — perhaps by satellite — but especially in airports, on planes, and in all in- lernational com- munications." ” Ed Watt Whitehorse Minor hockey.

I am writing this letter because | fee] it is time someone started to speak out against the people who _areconstantly running down the logging industry. I feel these people definitely do not represent the majority of the people working in this * province and that’ their views are very short-sighted and in many ways com- pletely unrealistic. The latest issue that comes to mind is their stand against any logging in the Seven Sisters area, Anyone who is involved in the logging industry knows that there is no way that logging would be allowed to das any environmental damage in this or any other area, The restrictions presently applied to logging y the B.C. Forest Service and the Fish and Wildlife Branches make logging in an improper manner ab- solutely impossible and in many cases economically impossible, as well. I am convineed that these groups that are making all the naise and getting all the press coverage must be informed of the feelings of the working majority of this province. The thing that upsets me the most is that these smaii groups that make ail the noise are generally made up of people who hold down good year round govern- ment jobs that are paid for with our tax dollars. [ wonder if they realize just how fast their jobs would disappear if it were not for the logging industry in B.C. This province is almost totally dependant on the forest industry and this industry must be controlled by the majority of the people of B.C, and not by a few short-sighted misinformed small action groups. The forests of B.C. are tike the grain erops are to the prairies. They are a crop that when mature must be harvested and a new crop started for Future generations. This is an economic fact of life in this province and itis time some people woke up and realized this faet. I would like to see people who agree with me write to their local newspapers and let their views be known. It is time that these small aclion groups found out the real feeling of the workin people of this province as am convinced that the majority of the werking population realizes that i we are ta — survive economically in this province that good common sense must prevail. . Yours truly Brian Mould . New Hazelton, B.C. = VIEWPOINT By Graham R,. Lea MLA. Prince Rupert Despite forecasts of early recovery, the economy of British Columbia remains sluggish and, only half way through the fiscal year, it appears certain that the Social Credit coalition government will fail in its goal to avoid a deficit by next March. . Finance Minister Evan Wolfe's first quarterly report on the state of the government's finances indicated that the deficit will probably be about $125 million. One reason for this growing deficit is the failure of the sales tax to bring in as much revenue as expected. It was Mr, Wolfe, of course, who raised the sales flax from five to seven percent last March over the protesls of Opposition members and the public. Cutting the spending power of the consumers of British Columbia was no way to balance a budget, the critics told him. But Mr. Wolfe was not about to listen. Applying hardware store economics he simply raised the prices and sat back waiting for more money to come in. It did not and will not because consumers were responding to other measures of the Social Credit government — increased aulo insurance premiums, personal income tax, ferry rates, etc. as well as the increase in sales tax _ — by cutting back on their personal spending. Within months of Social Credit financial pelicies being implemented, merchants throughout the province were complaining that purchasing was declining. The second most im- ‘reason why government revenues ‘are not what the government expected they would be, is the continued fow return from stumpage rates in the forestry industry. They: are remaining at about where they were last year, one of the most depressed years to forest industry has ex- perienced in modern times. Recovery is still expected in the forest industry and elsewhere in the economy, but even the most optimistic observers. now see ‘that recovery.as very slow: and very delicate. - _ The high hopes, backed by campaign dollars, of the corporate establishment of British Columbia have been dashed in a few. short months. This fading .op- timism is shown clearly: in the business trends survey released recently by. the Employers Council. : of British Columbia which is based on a poll of senior executives of 173 com- panies. The report shows that only nine percent of those polled would forecast business improvement within: the immediate future while 16 percent said things would gel worse. Compare this to the same canvass. six months ago when 54 percent expected economic con- ditions would improve .and only five percent saw things getting worse, No doubt these senior executives have the ear of the Secial Credit govern- ment. They should --be calling for more imaginative and productive financial policy in the near future. But, somehow, given - the temper and record of the Benneit government with its zealous adherence to an antique econom philosophy, 1 don't’ thin even this counsel ‘will change the course of things to come. ten Note to the Employers Council of B.C.; put me on the list with those who think things will get worse.
