The [.bp_.iD.e.ss "a[is_ng from the. meetin_ ,was devoted to a report from OeorgePowell and Roger Paquette.on pertinent efforts in the Branch and in the

Provincial Department towards subjects which were under consideration at thetime of the last meeting, • ..... .,

Resolution No..i'. .Noved by Bill Beckett, seconded by.Ron Birch that .__'mereas.....'. i:.

the Work Shop type of meeting had oroven very informative along wffth a Kone

meeting: That every effort be made through-our Regional Consultant, GeorgePowell to continue the Work Shops in future, and to hold a Zone meetin_ whilethe inspectors were gathered for-this session .......... Carried

Resolution No. 2. Moved by Peter Serkovmey, seconded by Norm Giguere that "

Whereas the new .in-service training courses now available through Ryerson

Institute,of Technology are orovided under grants and maylbe,taken either byattendance at, the Institute or by correspondence courses towards further ' "

administrative certification. ;

Carried

Resolution No. 6 Moved by Peter Serkowney , seconded by Ron Furlani that themeeting do adjourn. Carried•

Since the next meeting is planned for the Timmins area, that _erry Tkachukact as chairman and appoint a secretary•from his staff.

In discussion both formal and informal of Institute business arising.from .Roger Paouette's report, the me_ers were encouraged to attend the Sudburz •Conference in Septe_ber.

There is an urgent,need for insoectors to become members ofthe Inst,itnte,: .In requesting permission from Boards of Health to attend Zone meetings, ...Annual Branch Meetings, or the various in-service training ventures, it,should be noted that it is hardly fair t o expect the senior personnel todelegate,persons to.attend these functions who are not even members of thesponsoring organization.

All insneetors owe the Canadian Public Health Association for their license

to hold their professional positions. The,Certificate granted through thisNational Body is the means by which they received ema!oyment.

All inspectors owe the Canadian Institute of Public Healtb Inspector.s_a "..debt because it is only through t,be Institute that the Certificate materialized,that courses and recognition have been promoted and tbe inspector able toexpress himself in a joint presentation to all outside organizations.

It is hoped that the insnectors in this Zone wil! a!l become members use ....their proxy rights, and attend:Zone studBranch meetings as often .as.)ossi$ie.

• .'' MOBILEHONE ,__<[DTRAILERPARKS ',,'. : ..:'>. ...

There is &heavy dem.andbeing put towards the establishmentof _ermanentandtemporarytrailercamps as a result of the presenthousing situationand theenthusiasmfor the campertrailer.

Sales being reportedby Companiesmarketing_{[obileHomes and.Camper Trailersare increasing at a fsmtastic rate.

The following is a comprehensive review of this subject, which'was prepared

by the Official Plan Section of the Community Planning Branch, Deoartment of.j_ • .hunlczpal Affairs.

"Trailer csm_ps are often considered by many as undesirable development and "therefore ,arenot accepted as a general residential use. With nrooer controls

they need not be. unattractive develooment. If such uses are to 'be nermitted,policies covering their, location and development should be outlined in the

Official Plan. The--pol&cies and regulations governiny the c_mm.pswill denendon whether the camps are for permanent or temporary residential use.

The main t_es of trailer camps include: (i) those that.are for permanentresidential use_. amd. (2) those that, are for temporary residential use,

(I) Permanent. Trailer Camps '

Permanent trailer camps usually increase the demand within a mrm.iciDality for

police, fire, water, sanitation mnd health service in addition to reouirin_

such essential services as municipal water and-sewege disposal fhcilites.Sometimes. there is an additionsl demand for-welfare services associated.with

....... I! children herunemp!oyment. Furthermore, since there are, on the avers__e, 2unit, ±£..trai]_erc_.ps are permanent or serving transient workers .for any

lenth of time_ these .c_os will require school, facilities. Consecuent_:y,

there is an increased financial burden on the municipality !<h._.tis not bali_

anced by the licensing fees for t railer csmps.

If the _:railer parks are for permanent use the?? should, be mentioned, in the

0fficial: Plan,_as .oermitted uses in the residential area. The Officia! Plan

should state.,_however,..that they will be permitted only by soecific rezoningof the land involved and only after all p_inent factors (which shou]_d be

outlined in the-.0fficial P!an) have been considered to assess the suitability:

6f the ]..andfor.that ourpose." The factors to be considered,'which should be

outlined in the Official Plan, should include the tooogra_hy," soil and drain-

age characteristics of the .si_, the accessabilityof the sile, the future

effects of such a use on the adjoining prooerties , the availability and

adequacy of municipal water and sewage disoosal faci_]iiJes, school facilities

and police, fire s,nd or,her essential services. The 0ffic.i..=a.l.plan sh0u!d .t. .also include oo!icies regarding the orovision of bufferin_ for the protection

of surrounding properties.

/

..k.

It should be pointed out that tourist c_mps (t.emnorar_T),which usual!3T do notdemand as many servicesas permanentcamps, frecuentlybecome occupied by per-manent trailerresidentsand therefore,regulationsshouldbe passed to pre-vent this. "

_2_TemDorar.yTrailer Camps

Trailer campswhich are for temporary,residenceonly are usually of a d_fferentcharacterthan those which are for oermanentresidenceand as mentioned abovethe reouireme_tsare usuall_rdifferent.

There are two t3aTesof temporaryresidentialtrailerparks: Job-orien_,edandTourists.

(i) Job-oriented-where',because of a specificconstructionDrogect.,thereis the need for adeouatepolicies in the nlan to direct the establishmentof trai]:ersfor a tem_orar3_._eried.

(_) Commercial Trailer Park

There is a third t,_e of trailer park and it includes th.ose for commercial

(sale or displa,v)purposes.,._ These are normo -15'_cons__o.ered"I as a commercialuse

and, therefore, are dealt with under the "commercial" land use cate_or_r of theOfficial Plan (preferably Highwa_r Commercial). We only mention it here to

indicate that, if it is your intent to permit. "tr.._.filers"to be disolasTed for

commercial purposes along main roads, the._rshould be included in the Official Plan.

Zon.inV,By-law

Although the _unlclpal &ct gives a municipality the authority to license .and

regulate tourist c..mmosand trailer camps, we are of the opinion that re_!at_ons

_or trailer ._arks should be included in :the Zoning By-law under Secti0n 30 of thePlanning Act. ".

In our opinion, the most desirable method of permittin.ff tr_,i!er ca_.os in themunicipality is having a separate trailer park zooe. !n this manner the ]_ocation

and develo_mpnt of such parks .can Bore easily be con±.rolled. _e areas _._._onldnot be nre-zoned and, in this manner, as each applJ:c_.ti_fifor. such a hark .was .made, Council coulc_ satisfy itself that the area. was suitable for such a use ].n

accord_ce _dth the policies outlined in tbe Officia! ?]._n, before amendJn_ theBy-law to permit it.

_ssumin_ that _rour municipalit_r wishes to ests.blish a separate zone for trailer

camps, we would recomm.end that such a zone include re_u]_stions for minimum

parcel area reouirements _nd minimum parcel frontage, minimum individual lotsizes or a maz_imum density specification, adeou_.te buffering o_ all sides where

necessary; setback re_uirements_ pogiti6n-of open space for recreation where

necessary, _inimum lot frontage,"minLmum front, side and rear ._ards, provisionof a fire :Break and provision of off-street parking.

The Department of Health recommends tbs.t J.fseptic tank s_sf.ems are used, subject

to the approval of the local hes_Ith agency, two adjoining trailer spaces wouldbe served by one sen%ic tank S_rstem..,Thev._..recommend that the Sentic t._n]."shou].d

have a capacity of 500 gallons, and the field should be sized in accord.ance withthe soil's absorptive ca_3acity as determined by the st_qdard percolation test,

or alternativel.v, the .amount of dis_3osal tile should be that specified b_-themedical officer of health. The?._ further state tbat where such septic t.__nksyistems

are used for trailer spaces, piped communal water supply _.s a basic re_u_.rement

for this type of development.• ...,:

Where ±.he soil percol_tion rate is not in excess of 60 minutes per inch drop

and surface slopes do not exceed 5_, the Department of Health recommeDdS +.bateach trailer space size should, be a min_mum of l._ feet b_r 135 feet (5.e..6,075

square foot a_ea). You wil!, of co_rse, want to confirm this _d.th that denartment.

It is desirable to reouire the a..oolicantto provide plans _nd soecificia+ions be-

obtained regarding" (i) the availabi]..it.vof _ater add sewers and'other community

Apologies for absence from S. Cowan.

Moved by G. Anderson, seconded by R. Paquette, that the minutes of April 25, 1970 beaccepted as circularized. CARRIED.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT: It was an honour for me to represent the Ontario Branch at the 36thAnnual Conference in St. John, New Brunswick, from July 12th to 15th. The total numberof proxy votes for Ontario was 105. This represents less than 50% of the membership,therefore a new scheme will be implemented next year in order to obtain a majority ofthe available proxies. If the Ontario Branch Council sees fit to propose changes to theNational By-Laws next year, we should inform all Branch Presidents of our proposed changes,and our reasons for them.

Our invitation to host the 1972 National Conference in Windsor met with favourableresPonse, and was accepted in principle. . .

Copies of the minutes from the National Conference have been received by the membership,and I trust all have studies them. A complete report of the activities of the OntarioBranch for 1969-70 was submitted as required, t.....

The total expenditure to the Ontario Branch to send a delegate was _350.00.

_jI.n:all,the Coherence was an outstanding success, and the Atlantic Branch is to be?rcdngratulated.

I met with Jim Sandul and Roger Paquett e in Sudbury.on September 1st and reviewed allaspects of our Branch Conference. Jim and Roger have everything well organized andready to go.

A great number of Inspectors!ar_ concermed about the[ontario Department of Health-empl6ying personnel other than Public Health Inspectors to carry out the duties of-•Public Healt_ Inspectors. Recommendations are expected from this annual conference forfi'%heincoming Executive to study and act upon.

:.',.In,:June we were requested to complete a questionnaire for "Systems Research Group"on pollution, who would then report to the Federal Government. A letter to them askingif they had beefilrequestedby the Federal Goverzm_entto carry out the survey:did notreceive a repI_il]thereforeno further action was taken;by this Branch.

i__::¢_;'i,! . !!,_i,:",...,_!I>have enrolled in the Environmental Health Administration day course at Ryerson, andalthough there are only six ef us at present, the:course is :well organized and veryencouraging. I am confident it will grow very rapidly in the coming years, andInspectors without a degree in public health will not be in a position to move up toadministrative positions.

REPORT OF CO_WITTEE - ASPECTS OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING: Since our last annual meeting_

I have attempted to keep the membership informed on this Co_tteels fSndings._,Thiswas being done due to the popularity of this topic and the urgent need for collectivebargaining for our membership. At this point I will thereforet!set.out,_in summary_what findings have been made.

., _ {. • - .. , . : • . " . .[.'_; ;'<....:. • ,; [,. .........,. {," _"<"i .!_" "i:..i[, ['Y:-.'

a) The Ontario Branch of this Institute cannot become a certified bargaining agentfor Public Health Inspectors in Ontario. This is available only to the employeeof one employer. - . . _

b) The economics of forming a trade union ruled this.method.of bargaining out forthe Branch but it is feasible on an individual health unit basis. This will be

discussed later in this report .

....c)....The prospect of Provincial takeover of the health unit staff would appear to be

j]_< -unlikely, at this time, but it can change overnight° If it should take place,the bargaining agent for the Ontario Government bargaining unit at the time oftakeover would hecome our bargaining agent. At the present it is the C.SoA.O.• it/ ....

d) A poll of our membership received a poor response. However the majority replyingdesired collective bargaining v_th their boards of health. It was noted that of those

members replying who had a recognized bargaining agent, they all had C.U.P.E.representation and felt that they 'hadto be better off than the previoussituation.Information available to this office_reports that there °are_pproximately l& healthunits in Ontario represented by C.UoP.E.

Following the committee's efforts to ascertain the above, we arrive at the conclusionthat there are only four directions in which to go. These are: do nothing and allow

....this'Situation to worsen, encourage individual units to form employee association and

....Seek certification, the Branch affiliate with a recognized union thus encouragingindividual health units to also affiliate, let eachunit jointhe union of i_schgice.

I fee! positive that our first conclusion will be discarded so that leaves Us withemployee associations or unions. Therefore l would like to:present-_thebasic rules<equired tQ fo<m_Ehch an association° I am indebtedto Mr. D. Birnstihl, fellow...._ci6_tZee member, for his assistance, particularly in this respect.

The first consideration in regard to this matter is to Prepare.reasons :toisatis£y theLabour Relations Board that the correct procedure in regard to the forming of anassociation has been followed. It is essential to the procedure that the steps be

takenas follows: .,._,._._,.

•,l...<Meeting of the founding b(_ttee and.signing of membership card plus $1.00 charge.

_._2.<vProposal & drafting of constitution and by-laws.

All the above must be kept secret from employer and meetings should not be held onemployers premises°

Minutes should be recorded at ever?jmeeting, and to prepare.a proper Setof b_-laws _and_bnstitution a lawyer should be engaged..It is also best if the lawyer tike stepsdealing with the LaboUr.Relations Board. It.is also adviSable if a labour relationssolicitor be located at the first step for guidance, etc.

The two remaining directions in which we may go are, and will be, the subject of much_ .<._.discussion.However %his committee has considered, I feel_ all the ramifica_tions.__.__The_cost.of f_brmingyour own employee's association is, I understand, quite considerable,...and<itse.lectedexecutive still must do all the bargaining with the board of health.If_..each.:unitwere-tochoose its own union it is quite possible that there would be :_many sandvaried with no common thread of interest. Due to the interest exhibited Sy a

..,..particularunion in .this Branch and its problems and the fact that it now representlsin bargaining the bargaining unit staff of at least l& health units,. we would lik__torecommend that:

i) this Ontario Branch establish a twoman Con_nitteeto discuss with the CanadianUnion of Public Employees (CoU_P.E.] the steps to be taken for direct affiliationand report to membership through_the newsletter their findings and final recommend-ationo .....

2) The entire membership be given Voice via written ballot, prior to affiliation beingtaken _th any union by the Ontario Branch_ Canadian Institute of Public HealthImspectors and that the Executive have power to deal with the decision of themembership and follow the majority decision.

At this point I would ]ike to read an August 6_ 1970 letter received by the writerfrom Mr. A. Riseley_ Director_ Ontario Region_ C_UoP.E_

i F _,

Respectfully submitted, C.Lo Young_ C.PoHoI.(C), Chairman.

August 6, 1970.

Dear Mr. young!

Further to our recent telephone conversation_ I wish to advise I have had the opportunityof discussing the question of direct affiliation of your organization with CUPE with.ourNationai Officers inDttawa_ ..........

They wish to ensure when anyone, either individuals or g_oups, affiliate to CUPE, allthe services we provide to our members are availableto such persons° They do not wantany member of CUPE unabled or prevented from enjoying the full benefits our organizationcan give and they see such difficulties for you_ group under the present legislat%onin Ontario.

As you are already aware, trade unions can only become the certified bargaining agentfor groups of employeesthrough the Ontario Labour Relations Board. By this procedurethe laws 0fthe p_'0vincethen _a_e efYectand employers are compelled to bargain withthe trade union acting on behalf of their employees°

These same laws_ unfortaunate!y] prevent a certification being issued to CUPE for all thepublic inspectors within your Institute because the Ontario Labour Relations Board willonly issue certificates for individual eln_loyergroups° Basically_ this means CUPEmust apply for cerbification for each group of health inspectors employed by a munici-pality or board of hea]th within the m_uicipality, and I might add, the Labour Boardwould insist-we als6 ±nc!ude _he other employees of such bodies, e°go, office andclerical, registered nursing assistants° etc.

You will see_ therefore_ the concern of our National Officers is for the concern of your.... '_T •iii members because we would not want either you_or your Institute to be misled, his does

._not mean we are abandoning the hope of all your members becoming members of CUPE_butbecause of the legislation we both £ace_ we m_st examine ether means to eventual!y

accomp!ish this desireo I think we have to approach this problem in the waythe ....;_ilegislationforces us to do so and that is by individual employer groups and_where theinfluence ofyour.Institute could be most e£fective. ..... .... ' - .? :

Our experience has shown that therever we have organized health departments inmunicipalities_or counties, thepublic health inspectors have always,b_en the spear-head bybeing the first ones to think of trade un!on_organiZations. /This fact I amsure, would be apparent throughout the rest of the'province and with a speciai programof publicity from your Institute and our field organizers, we could together accomplishwhat the labour laws require us to do to gain certification° :

I am sure our Public Relations Department would be _leased to discuss :thekin@ ofpublicity required, and would readily assist in its development.

I hope you can _ive these matters some thought and if you feel they have merit I wouldbe pleased to arrange a meeting with you,our Director of Public Relations and'myself,at your convenience.

i : "..

Yours very truly, A. Riseley, Director - Ontario Region, •: CANAD!AN UNION OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES.

Moved by C. Young, seconded by D. Birnstihl_ that the report on "Aspects of Collective

Bargaining" be acceptedby the Branch Committee to be presented to the Annual Meeting.CARRIED. .... '_"

T °_

REPORT OF THE AREA _gETINGSCOMM_TT_: This _eport must of necessity be brief for thesimple reason that 0nly a fewarea meetings were_held and reported. I have in my "'possession_ minutes of six meetings held: two in Area i, two in Area 3, one in Area 6,one in Area 7 and one in Area 8. If meetings were held in other areas, the mihuteswere not forwarded to me and therefore, no credit can be given.

It is rather interesting and at the same time encouraging to note that in some areas,meetings were held on Wednesday. Obviously_ the Boards of Health concerned are suffic-iently interested in their inspectors to permit meetings during normal working hours°Other regions are not so fortunate and must hold their meetings on Saturdays. It wouldseem that those who must give up their own time to attend these meetings are dedicatedmen.

I feel rather like the minister in church_ haranguing his flock for the sins of thosewho are absent. Never before in the history of this Institute has the need forcommunication been so imperative. Co_nunication can only be achieved by gettingtogether in s_ll groups to discuss and resolve problems of mutual interest, then tocarry these resolutions to the Branch executive which in turn is obliged to forwardthem to higher authority° Not every thought engendered in the field will become policy,but at least those in the Ivo_r Tower will become aware that you are alive and concernedwith the many changes that have come about or that are planned for the future. We haveheard or will hear reports on fragmentation_ collective bargaining and many other thingsthat will affect the future of this Institute and eventually our careers and abilityto make a living. Let us not stand idly by and be steam-rollered into oblivion.

To those areas which have held meetings and reported them, I congratulate you; tothose areas which have held meetings and not reported them_ I apologize, and tothose areas which have done neither, what's holding you back.

SECRETARY-TREASURER'S REPORT: It was the intention of the undersigned to :as_sumetheSecretary-Treasurer Ts position and be the best one this Branch has ever had.

< Apparently I have been just that° The •latter statement is of course based onthepresumption •thatthese offices were never combined in the past.

' Permit me to give a left handed apology to the Branch. As the winner of two ••airlinetickets, the office was vacant for about two mcnths while the Secretary-Treasurerenjoyed the Splendors of some eleven European cotmtries., Efforts were made to keepthe _c!or_espondenceflo_n[ngduring my absence_ however_ this did n6%:mat_erialize as

i had been visuallzedo Apologles to anyone who dld not recemve a promp_--ir_p!y/duringL < this"time, particularly some new member applicants. Similarly witCh'the'litter',I am

advised by the National Secretary-Treasurer that the newly elected National<'Presidenthas de_eloped •writer's cr_p, and has to date not endorsed any new member-_certi.ficates_

_i__!The volume of correspondence Continues to mount with 497 items received and<i_9._items'_ _sentifor all purposes. All c0rrespondence is on file and _hasbeen discussed with the

BrafiChCommittee _,,he_eaction has been indicated. Five meetings0f the Branch Committeehave been he!d_ including that one just prior to this Conference. The Minutes ofthese meetings are on file. ,. ,

a

Ballots were sent to all eligible Branch members during the latter past of August,and I was pleased to receive over 120 by return mail to _he BranchTs Postal Box.Said Postal Box, known as C°I.P.H°I., Ontario Branch, Box 2_i, Bright's Grove , hasbeen secured for a full ye&r. Members wishing to correspond with the Branch areencouraged to use it at all times. It will be cleared.not less than thre_ timesweekly,%nd on a daily basis during the heaw/ return of future Bal16%S. :_''_

Our membership as of this writing stands at a total of 283, This included .tw0iHonorarymembers and six Life members_ There are currently 33 members who have not paid their_1970 dues and if unpaid by December 31j 1970 they will have to be dropped from our roles°Presentlywe are 22 members higher at this time than we were at tNe 1969.Conference.

Notices of Motion pertaining to membership were duly sent to the National Secretary-Treasurer in accordance with the National Constitution and By-Laws. It is the feelingof the writer thatthe action of the 1970National Convention in tabling, lifting fromthe table, amending and finally shelvingfor one year, is a violation of the mentioned

° Constitution and By-Lawso OneNotice of Motion dealt with the often debated matter ofpast members being required to pay for their "delinquent" year_s dues, together with thecurrent year's dues_ This of course was the main item laid over for the Year by National.This particular Section of the Constitution has been a constant frustration to thisBranch to achieve a larger membership° _:

I therefore urge this Conference to empower this year_s Branch Committee to seek theseprior members, perhaps through a reduced assessment as was done pre_iously,_At tha@time prior members were accepted back on payment of the NATIONAL share of dues.0nly fortheir delinquent year, and current year_ l,_nilethe National Secretary-Treasurer, AubreyBall, who was then National President, took issue with that particular Branch Committee

.: for this action, it was interesting that our chequekfor these members was.not rejected.-_-tha_also, been brought to my attention that thenthi s Branch gave "free''membershipsto Ryerson Course Graduates, it developed that some of these persons were as alwayscarried by the Branch the follo_ng year, v_thout requesting to be, and then were de-clared to be "delinquent" members. As such_ they would have to pay theback year andthe current yearts dues. Any such person who is so assessed for a year he did not re-

. quest_ has a valid squawk when be balks at_guch a.payment.

After serving as Newsletter Ed±tor for a year & a half the job was given over to Mr.

i: Gerry Skipwith of Col!ingwood in April°

The members are requested to assist Larry Lychowyd, BranchHistorian_ by submittingany information in their possession regarding past activities of this Branch..

: This year we see Phase 2 of the _wo year term of office for Branch_Committee positions.! am:_pleasedat the aforementioned return of ballots as this would tend to reject theSuggestion by some that when a Presidential e!ection is not held there would be totalapathy for an election of councillors positions only.

•:, Your Branch Committee efforts and achievements havebeen the result of a team effort.

.This team is well coached by President Bill Straughan and where gains have not.been,.._madepossibly they are the result of the writer who in this situation tries to apply

:: Finally_ I would like the Branch Committee to consider the:acquisitionii0£a photo¢ppying machine, as the need to refer many items of correspondence to the Committee,c0ntinues to growmore urgent. Handling the Secretary-Treasurerrs post on a part time

The CHiLL_GES OF YOUTH IN THE 70'S. - by Elmer Sopha, M.P.P.

Recently I received a brochure in the mail sent out by a nationa! organizationwhich proclaimedon.the cover this: "_L_nypeople are discouraFedabout,oreven disgustedwith, the youth of today. _Y?. The documentdid not attemptto answerthe euestion. In my view the cues%ion has a good de_ of imperti-nence to it and indeed some youth organizationmight very well send out abrochure suggestinga similarinnuendoabout the older generation. One wonderswhy "the_'the youth are held to be unioue by this Question. It assumesthatthey are our moral and intellectualinferiors. Be that as it may, the mereassertionthat is implicitin the ouestionis sFmftomaticof the timesandwhere else can it be found to be better expressedthan in the hauntingrefrainof that great idol of the young, Bob Dylan,wherein he mocks us

"Somthingis happeninghere./But .youdon't know what it is./Do you _r. Jones?"

Those wor_s are calculatedto send shiversof appreciationdown the backs ofthe young and chills of fear down the soinesof the old. SomethinFis hawoening.And it is happeningon a world ?,_idebasis. There is no ouestionbut thereis an internationalempathy among %.heyoung. Tens of thousandsof them havewithdrawnfrom the adult world _nd in their "cop-out"they find commonbondsof revulsiona_ainst the societyin which they live. And be it noted that inmany cases these are the childrenof the well to do; indeedthey are of.imesthe scionsof the best homes in the nation. Proba.bl}r%.hereis not a nersonhere who does not know some familywhere rapportbetweenoarents and childrenhas w_nished. In my view, to attemptto underst-?m.dthe dimensionof the problemit is essentialto :keenin mind that the oldest of the cost war generationisnow 25 3"earsold. That fact alonecreatesa wide .gulf. I can well understandthat the 25 year old coldwar which followedWorld War I! _nd which _isnow atintenseheat in the NiddleLsst, and which incide_tall_rhas cost America aloneone trilliondollarsin arms -whose chief articleof _aith is that it is

better to be dead than Red, seems incomorehensibleto youth. [t is he,fondbelief to me - for I am unable to come to terms with the notion that it isbetter to put a Browningrifle in the bends of an Urdu tribesmen.in'Anatoliathen it is to providebetter health care for our Indians. In short,the salientfact which we ought to acceptis that in cultural,mor_.la__dethical mattersyoungpeople have sharplydiverged from the adult genera%fon. M..%n.vof %.hemfind the militarizationof life 8ridwar itselfobscene, absurd and ethicallyouttrageous. In the last 50 years, we human bein_ have slaughteredby ourown hands somethingapproachingI00 millionof the snecies. In the fac_ ofthat fact, is it any wonder that many of the youn_ resent the.irelders voicingthe past and inheritedtraditionsas automatictouch-stonesfor contemoorarythought. To talk to the young about the difficulties,the indecenciesand theinhumanityof the Great Depressionis %bout the eou._%lof talkin_ to that wall.How can it make sense when a young man of today must needs take the old man'swheels and at least a double sawbuckbefore he wo_.lddare go to cal! on hisbird - that is to say unless she is going to ride shotinmon the motorcycle.

Before I get too far, I had betterdefine who are the _oun_. Genera.1_lyspeaking,youth is the period l_ to 25. ,_RutI want to talk about a broaderspectrumthan that. I'll make a wa_er of 25¢ with anyone that as soon as wereduce the _oting to l_, then the 17 year olds will start to yell that theyare underprivileged. Let's say the broad spectrumof the youn_ _s from 3years to 25. We must keep in mind that in the age of television,the educationprocess starts in earnestabout 2 years before the child sets foot in kimbr-garden. The point is well made in the story toldby Northron Fr_e about thetwo little5 year olds at recess in the school yard. An a_rcraft_assed over-head and one said: "Look at the .jetand the other said "It's not a jetstupid,its a turbo-prop." _ereupon the first one rejoined:"Aw, you _noweverything,let's go in, the •teacherwants us to ol_y with our _odd_nbeads."

In my humble opinion,there never was a _enerationof _rou_ O_ooleas bright,as healthy, as keen, as beautifulas the one with which the world aboundstoday. To which I add, there never was 8.gener,q.tionof youth as committedtomatters of deep principleas they are. And the evidence for that is over-whelming. Many of them has sloughedoff _otivat.ionfor mere m_,terS_alrewardand are willing to lao_Ttheir careersand their futureon the line for thefurtheranceof ethicalprinciple. But tO be.reasonable,about this and to main-t_,_inan historicalperspective,one can find sup-portfor the pro.positionthathas alwaI,_s been that wa_r. Disraelisaid.acentury ago "Almost ever_thin_thatis gre_.th_s been done b_ryouth." Burke said tv,,ocenturies9._o"Tellme whatare theore:vai-lin__sentiments.t'h:_tkeep_th@_mind's_of7tour3totingmen a_.dT._will tell you what is to be the characterof the next _eneration." Perhapsthe youth of toda_rare our destiny- would to God that this co_ntrTr-_nditspeople had a sense of destiny,which it he,s not _ot,which it once had, whichit must recapture_f Jt Js to play a worthwbi]_erold in the fam_l_of nations.The furture of this nation must.be a reflectionof the opinionsheld b_._ouryoung people.

I suggestto you that many of our youth are able to see with clearerperceptionthat is vouchedsafedto those of us who are older, The problemis one thatappliesto the total societ)rsnd tb_t is how we ceD.return to the rule ofreason, The taming of men cannotbe separatedfrom the tnming of nations.The state•c.annotitself be immoral,mendacous,brutal an4 irrationa!whiledemandingthat its citizensadhereto a code of reso0nsibilityand reason,Yo_mg people see this dichotom__nd they have turoed inwardby the tens OfthousaDdsin the search for v_l_esby which to live, The escapemechanism toooften tragicallyinvolve_sthe use of mind-cb_n_io,__dru_s. But the self in-duces "trip" I sug_,estis nothingmore %h3iua s,vmotomof a deeoer.m_]_aisel_anyyearn for somethingmeaningfulto do _nd in response for examp!e,theyreceive a kick in the,teeth b,_a cowardly_!qdscurrileusattgckon the Companyof Young Cangodians.!t is truth to tell that.inmansrsectorsthere:is an _.ctivemilitant Wi_ragainstthe young° At the Sud.burvCity Counci__.,_ _Iderm_m forwhom my enthusiasmis _[ellunder controlwants to stop the use of a school asa place of recreationand resort for,teenagersdnring the summerVacation Be-cause he says they make too much noise. For reasonsun_1o_m to me except that

l

be evidence of some psychooa_ic disorder, many peop].eget terribly upset be-cause young people hitchhike to Vancouver. _ pleas is simply for a morebalanced approach to our young. I come here frankly, unabashedly, innocentlyas a propagandist - for everyman who tries to think about the worl_ inwhichhe lives is a propagandist for his own vie_,. Hipo__esare not,_.new anoar_.tionon the human scene. St. Francis, a saint much he_iledby our Catholic brethrenwas the son of a prosperous merch_antin the century. He divested himselfof all material thin_s and w0rshipoed _.llthat lived - birds and Sexists and

flowers as aspects of God. He pursued Oow-rty like a lover and preferredthe broken, the tormented, the simple .andthe foolish to the "straiFhts" ofhis world. A hippy saint if there ever was one. _nd beyond St. Francis ofAsis'!silooms a towering fiF,ure who amid the vast riches and stupendous Dowerof the Roman Empire h_d no use for it. And _ho in the final test preferred a

prostitute to a prude. I doubt that there ever was a generation of youngpeople which has engaged so earnestly on the side of principled action-valued people so dearly and possessions so little - wanted so desoeratelv tolead open and honest lives and to have institutions sm_da societ_rwbich would

make such possible. !t is a Fener%tion for which w_ should be immensely proudand immensely _rateful.

I try to keep a balanced view. There are m_ny things about which young,neoplethat I would rather they did not. Too many times theftare i_oatient with eldersand they deeply hurt by rudeness. M_nv of them refuse to accent that mosthum;_nproblems have been thought through by others. _Tehave the benefit ofthe legacy of the great tbinl-ersat least from Plato to _rx. As Paul Goodmanhas said:--Someyoung radicals 'seem'to-,-entertainthe _d4.sastious_il_.usion_that : ---'other people can be compelled by frighteninF,them. Thic c_ on]_.7_"lead tecrushin_ reaction,

If vi01ence increases, dissent becomes the first v_im as societ_rmoves toprotect itself. I for one deeply regret the dependence of many of our young _people upon hallucinatory agents but ones viev,rhere must be Pept in Chec_. !__:Drugs are not new. What would be your reaction if'alcohol had •been discovered•_.last week? Drugs date back to probably at least 7,000 B.C. when msn firstdiscovered wine and beer and almost the whole of humanity has been sodden at.one time or ,maotherwith alcohol. Even politicians do not.drink with the

ferocity of John A. _%cDon_._.ld,andhis cronies.

You see we have become terribly serious people in the nm_chinea_e surroundingourselves with the nultitude of products of t.henew technology. "In m,_ny

_"_ to whom theways, our behaviour has a machine-like quality. Herbert ::'arcuse,young turn for philosophical support, calls us "one-dimeDs_o_al.man."He says we have all but lost the spiritual plane of our lives. Cert_inl_rthere is much evidence to support the view that we have lost our m_hs _ndmost of our sense of humour. There is not _..Nencken, a Benchle_ or even aDamon Runyon on the horizon. I dare say it is difficult to h,ave,the capacityto laugh. _.tourselves in the a,_eof the computer ._ndNr, Trudeau's-re_ionaldesks. Do you note how terribly serSous is the national news bulletin andhow we eat it up just before going to bed. The pioneer spirit, the ethosof the frontier.that characterized rural Canada has been con_.n_crcializedbythe urb-.mnSociet_Tinto p___cka_edtours throuph the CrowsDest p_ss and aroundthe Cabot trail. Escane from it all h_.sbeen found b.vthe 3,_ounp,to be with-in themselves. Indeed there is nowhere else to _o. The opoortunit3Tfor youthto rebel against the norms inflicted upon them is me,de easier because societJzitself is no longer sure of either 5ts institutSons or _ts morality. Both

I knowthatwe live in _n age where there 5.sdisorder in the streets. I _nowthat there can be no civilization without order add there can be no order with-

out respect for law but I put it to _ou that even more terrif3__n_,than disorderin the states is the disorder in our heads, The rebellion of youth, far from

being the case of disorder is rather a reaction aFainst the disorder we callorder which results from our failure to make sense of the way we live nowand have lived since 1_,5. It is quite wrong though to _o overboard _andattribute all good impulses to those under 25 ard all the bad over to thoseover !O.

Finally in my humble opinion, what is hapnening to the youth of the worlddeserves the freest int_gination,the freest attention, that older oeoole arecapable of giving. There never _as been _n age in human history when theheroic had a wider ].attitudeof action. To ]_ouwho are'engaged in theprevention of disease _d the relief of humsn suffering, I say that.courageand foresight and wise resolution never hs_ such opoortunities to shade ourlives and prepare a good world for those who follows us. Good ._ndwise menin all parts of the world have seldom counted for more.
