Police Dept. Changes Io Be Discussed Today

Changes impending in the po- lice department following the resignation of Police Chief Char- les MacArthur will be announc- ed at a special meeting of City Council scheduled for this after-

The police committee. under chairman William R. MacNeill. met Saturday to prepare recom- mendations for proposed chang- es and will bring a report be- fore Council at today's session.

Also to be heard is the mat- ter of the notice of motion made by Councillor H. E. Hyndman at the January Council meeting last Monday. During a discus- sion on an application by the Hennessey Funeral Home for permission to move its place of

business from the present Kent Street location to the Aitken

property on Longworth Avenue. Councillor Hyndman gave notice he intended to ask that funeral homes be removed from the commercial class.

The proposed new location of the home is in a restricted zone and various efforts to get per-

mission to move there have been in progress for several months. Recently Counci

amended the zoning by-law re- lating to the territory to remove a clause which barred entry of commercial enterprises unless agreement of landowners along a stretch of 300 feet frontage was obtained.

It was found this particular clause applied only to the Long- worth Avenue area and was applicable to any other zoned district.

Quebec Leaders Make Plea For Return To Old Spirit

By JOHN YORKSTON QUEBEC (CPI — Premier Jean Lesage and Opposition Leader Daniel Johnson say the "spirit" of Confederation has been dissipated since 1867. They are not sure how it should be revived.

In the throne speech debate Thursday. they discussed the spirit which animated Confed- eretion.

To Mr. Lesage and Mr. John- son—as with most other Que-

ers — Confederation was a pact between two nations. in the sense that the French- and English - speaking segments of Canada are nations.

Spirit in which Confederation was achieved was designed to permit both nations to develop. in the words of Mr. Johnson. “according to its own aspira- ." Both main groups. he added. must be equal partners.

“Because it has not been ob- served. neither in the letter nor in the spirit. the pact 1887 has become outmoded." Mr. Johnson declared.

Mr. Lesage' did not go quite that far. He repeated his con- tention that Confederation has not been fully lived. The spirit behind Confederation must be reborn or "created if it never really existed."

He said from his experience outside Quebec “people have forgotten or do want to rec- ogniz the basis of Confedera- WOULD CALL ASSEMBLY

Mr. Johnson said a "constitu- ent assembly" must be called in which the "delegated repre- sentatives of the two nations" could seek a new constitution.

Mr. Lesage said the practical difficulties in setting up such a gathering would be great. e favor royal commission on Canada's bicultural status. The resulting publicity could awaken “in the minds of the English - speaking residents of the other provinces and of new Canadians the spirit that existed in the majority the Fathers of Confederation."

Their debate was another chapter in a continuing discus- sion in the province on erstion. Canada's constitution and the place of French-speak- ing Canadians within it is be ing discussed as never before in Quebec's history.

Any number of reasons can ven for debate. One s

ed a federal - provincial,

They consider Canada. not just Quebec. as their country yet many leaders see

the top of the federal civil ser- vice or of industry. These same leaders feel that French-Cana- ians. as never before, can be come qualified to take on these positions.

But not at the expense of be- coming “assimilated.” or losing their identity as French-Cana- dians.

The rise of the separatist movement is considered by many as the extremist point of view. But many Quebecers share some of the points being made. by the separatists. ex- cept for demands for complete separation.

The principal argument of Dr. Marcel Chaput. leader of the first separatist political party. is that French-speaking ana- dians will always be minority in Canada. To become a ma- jority and direct their own af- fairs. they must form their own

tate.

Most other leaders feel that if confederation could go back to its original spirit—that of equality between the two groups n—problems could be settled.
