} Last evening at the regular
semi-monthly meeting of the Charlottetown Junior Chamber of Commerce. Heath Macquar- . rle, MP for Queen's. spoke on ‘separatism‘ and told the Jaycees. “I am convinced we‘ve got the wisdom. the restraint and the strength to see this thing through".
Mr. Macquarrie flew Charlottetown f r o in Ottawa yesterday to deliver this talk and he left this morning to re-
rn to the Commons and the Flag Debate.

not Quebecois should find out muc as we can,“ so that we
can completely understand the question 'of separatism. Mr. Macquarrie professed to be no expert on the subject. but it was a problem that interested him and that he felt must in- terest every Canadian.
He pointed out that this is I not the first time the question has risen, nor is Quebec the only province to consider "Some 70 or 80 years ago Brit- ish Columbia not only decided they were going out. but where they were going. To the United States."

He felt that this was a re- markable feat on the part of the French. _

He said that Quebec has .changed. it is no longer the 'country where the habitants sit and dream of the past. It now a community where ur- banization has come in very quickly. They are making new demands. they are using mod- ern techniques and their polit- icians are different, some of them are former television per- sonalities. He cited Levesque and Caouette as examples.
He said that the church too has changed, it has become very dynamic and aware of the urbanization.
He felt that the French are becoming prouder of their language as its usage becomes more wide spread. He pointed out that there are now 20 coun- tries who use it at the United Nations.

He felt that General DeGaulle of France and all his talk of the grandeur of France has influenced the French in Ca-

He told the gathering that he had heard reports that American firms located in Que- bec show less concern for the language of their employees than they do in other countries of the world. He mentioned Donald Gordon who gave as the reason there weren't any French Canadians on the execu- tive of the CNR because there weren’t any qualified and yet Mr. Macquarrie said that when one was appointed the trains still ran.
He pointed out that the Bell Telephone Co. has a Frenc Canadian president and the phone calls still go through and the bills still come in. ‘
. acquarrie didn't feel that the language question was the most important aspect of the French revolution in Ca- nada, he thought the economic aspects were more important.
He said right now there is a committee of the uebec Legislature investigating the economic aspects of separatism.
HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT He pointed out that the aver- age income was below the Canadian aver- age and that in Quebec 5.1 per cent of its workers are un- employed. one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. “They feel they can

The following was written especially for The Guardian by the director of music for P.E.I.
By CHRISTOPHER GLEDHILL A disappointingly small audi- ence last n' t enjoyed a rare treat in the lecture room of the Confederation Centre when Sister Mary Theresa of Halifax gave a vital and exciting re- cital The solo recital is the \most exacting possible test of tech- nique and musicianship: the soloist is out there on his own.
e can make his instrument obey his every whim. He may in fact give a completely dif- ferent reading of the same work at different recitals. The res- ponsibility is corresplondingly greater. For this reason a solo recital has an excitement that cannot be found in any other type of music-making.
Sister Mary Theresa has all the attributes necessary for a solo pianist of the front rank. Her technique is fluent and assured, she has a vital and aggressive approach to the key-
board. and she has obviously my deal abo
thought a good ut music. Her defects are of the type that can be remedied by experience. study and above all by the fellowing process of time.
FIRST DISCOVERY
rom the very first chord of the Italian Concerto we were taken firmly in hand by the re. citalist and swet impulsively through the first movement wi all the excitement, as it were, of first discovery. This was a vivid and exciting performance.
I
ion was quite consistent with itself. though it was not quite in keeping with the stylLstic conventions of the period. which were conditioned by the more delicately voiced instruments of the time.
Sister Mary Theresa was thoroughly at home in the warm romantic music of Chopin. and the Etudes and the Ballade in g-minor received just the right ‘ treatment
The Valses Nobles ct Senti- mentales are vintage Ravel — dry and sparkling, and the uer- l formance was just that. save in one or two instances where a clearer. less "atmospheric" reading would have been closer to the composer's intentions.

The recital was enlivened by a few off-the-cuff remarks in between the items, which the audience found illuminating and spiced with a sly humor.
The andante. With Its reminis- cences of certain ‘chorale pre- ludes. was taken at just the right speed for the right hand to sing its exquisite cantilena without running the risk of a too torpid rhythm. The finale. marked presto. was too fast. Bach‘s presti are not the same thing as the presti of later
ages. The Haydn Andante con var- iazioni was given a thoughtful nd very emotional perform- ance. In this work Haydn seems to foreshadow the romantics. At the same time, the climaxes and the “dying falls" were a little over-emphatic, with the whole tonal range of the mod-

Mr. Macquarrie thought that perhaps English Canada would have to shed some of its pro- vincialism and find a common voice to take part in the dia- Iogue with Quebec.
He said that in Canada. “we have taken the most difficult problems and 3 them work.
“I don’t want to say we don’t have problems. but we can cope with them by using the comer- stones of Canadian life. moder- ation and tolerance." acquarrie was intro- duced thanked by Steve Rush.
