MAGOR ie . 7 Ro AYRES ste... Editor . R. BROCK CHISHOLM has a way of:yuffling complacency that an- noys people, even though what he says ‘generally makes “big” sense. - Probably that’s why he gets under our skins. We’d much rather concert: ourselves with simpler things than nu- clear ltinacy, and our prospects of ad- _ justing-successfully to a scientific age. Yet-the problems he poses won't go awayjust because most of us don’t like théir implications. When he tells us thatthe human race is in much. the same position now as prehistoric mon- sters were before they disappeared from the earth, our first inclination is to dismiss Dr. Chisholm as a profes- sional. bogeyman. : But we remain disturbed for we know there is a lot of truth in what he says. The number who do incline to childish evasion of larger problems is disconcertingly large. We are not as mature as our grandparents. They did not try to escape from their prob- lems. : touch. of magnanimity hasbeen ed to the courage displayed by the Springhill miners. In the Nova Seotia town a man’s color is not the criterion but instead the quality of his character, nowhere better exemplified than during the anxious days of the tragedy which struck there so recent- ly.

In our fright about the big things we have begun to cling rather desperately to small ones. We want the comfort. of the’ known and famil- iar. We want to believe that things may not be as bad as they seem. This [S-childish. It IS escape from realism. It IS an attempt to evade ad- justment to circumstances that are changing rapidly. Dr. Chisholm sums it up in an ‘acute sentence when he says: value over thinking, and nothing could be more absurd than that.” That idea is itself something to think about. Most of'us, if we care to, ean build the pattern from there, and open our own route back to indepen- dent thinking and judgment process. —The Province. they determined they. would not go if Maurice Ruddick could not go also, but they bow.'to his decision. He has never. lived apart from white ‘people. before but he will accept the ruling because “there is pressure in that part -of the world’ and I wouldn’t want to cause ‘any - international incident.” That sentiment indi¢ates a splendid generosity, matching the manner: in and. his.. friends came ment... .- ee This epilogue of the Springhill dis- | J eT eNpenise-tree holiday —in that state. It showed a nice neighbor- lind&s and it was a tribute to the spir- ited courage that always commands respect. Only when the governor dis- covered that one of the Springhill miners in question was a colored per- sonedid a note of anomaly creep in, Thé latter is still welcome in Georgia but’ he will have to be segregated and > uty in separate quarters from his CODAPIUETONS, Canadians would have understood had the miners objected in toto and decfined the invitation. They took the larger view, however. Rightly aster nevertheless reveals the distres- sing divisions that ensue .in “places where racial’ tensions rent and divide a community. One likes to think Mr. Ruddick will be no less honored than his fellows during his holiday stay in the Georgian resort. He has accepted the invitation with a dignity which does both him and Canada credit. One is reminded afresh, also, that the highest accolade of chivalry—the Vic- toria Cross—was awarded to a Negro seaman from Nova Scotia as long ago as 1857, —The Victoria Colonist. “By a queer reversal of values, be- - lieving has: been set out as a senior in’ the — 7 ort: eu * NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR “THIS PERIOD ) VANCOUVER 43 | Le EDMONTON |. 23 * REGINA 22.
