The presentation of the school bud-
get inevitably causes some anxiety by
hard pressed focal taxpayers.

This yeer’s budget, while markedly
higher than last year's figure, offers at
least some hope of relief.

The enlarged school district has a
broader tax base from which to draw
its revenues, instead of the hard pressed
tax payers of Terrace who have fong
looked enviously at neighboring, indus-
try-rich Prince Rupert and Kitimat.

The further announcement by edu-
cation minister L, R, Peterson of a more
equitable distribution of taxes is welcome
news to this area, While Mr. Petersan’s
statement is necessarily vague before
changes in the Public Schools Act, there

The problem of course is that a shoe-

It is an unfortunate quirk that the in-

future growth and financial stability is
notoriously reluctant to establish itself
in an area where the education of em-
ployee’s children suffers in comparison.

Certainly, we can expect no educa-
tional bonanza in the year 1968 and it
is reasonably safe to predict no sudden

I have always had a great deal
of difficulty in agreeing that a per-
50n of French speaking descent,
especially from Quebec, should
be designated as a French-Cana-

ans

All my life I have been one of
those who believes that we shoul-
dn’t have adulterated, or bifur-
cated or hyphenated Canadians,

Also I felt that the use of the
phrase French Canadian always
made the person.to whom the
name applied a little bit less
of a Canadian than the person
who was applying the name —
in another instance it could make
that person a little bit more of
a Canadian,

Speech given by M, Gerard Pel-

to the Minister of External Af-

a certain high position in the

In that speech M, Pelletier
said: “To my mind, being a hyph-

However M, Pelletier went on
to say that when others, polit-

there should be no hyphenated

In other words M, Feiletier is
