-V -3 St'. ST-.-- rr 'Freedom Seen Canadian, U.S. (Editor's note: The writer of the following article is former Medford resident, and a former reporter for the Mail Tribune. He' is now a reporter on the Leader - Post of Regina. Saskatchewan. He is a 1959 graduate of the school of journalism of the Univer sity of Oregon.) ' By DON ROBINSON Regina, Sask.-Canada has preserved much that the Unit ed States has thrown away. ' And the United States has built much that could never be conceived of in Canada. ' Why the difference? The cause is an inherent Canadian provincialism. That p r o v i n cialism,' a tenacious hold on old-fashioned ideas, is , strongest in the middle- western areas of both coun tries. But it is more evident in the Canadian than the American prairie, and it ex tends more to either coast in Canada. . , It could be argued, If' not finally proved, that the rea son for Canadian provincial- .ism is Canada's different out- . look on the uses of law. .Treedom vs. Utilitarianism In the United States, society theoretically is founded upon concept of hard, wide and natural freedom for all. Laws . are imposed to limit freedom . only by preventing any man from injuring another man -,.. This broad base of freedom is not apparent in Canada. Canadian society seems to have begun with no definite theory of organization, and has made up its rules as it has gone along. The result is an absence of something, anything, to -cling to each time a new law THE L 0 f G ; AMD OF IT .Whether jenk five feet six or six feet five makes no difference.

They are imposed upon the tenants to suit the prefer ences of the people living there who have the power is . made. Law has become utilitarian. The laws are merely regulations which im pose upon everyone the-actions preferred by the ma jority. . ..... For instance, a: majority of people in Canada Jiave felt that. Sunday should be open for church worship or for relaxation. The law, there fore, says that no business shall be done on Sunday, that no commercial sport shall be played. - '' - It goes further than! this. In Regina, some (and obvious ly enough) people have felt that businesses should take two days off. Therefore, there is a city by-law which i pro hibits any store from opening on Monday. ' --'. "Boarding House Rules'" A visitor to Canada from the United States, if he stays a month or two, will be struck by the resemblance be tween Canadian laws and boarding house rules. The rules are not there to prevent injury.

Traditions Preserved It enables Canada to pre serve many traditions which would be, and have -been in the United States, overthrown by th pressure of commerce. and industry. This aspect of Canadian life is attractive to one who dislikes the hustle and bustle of a businessman's country such as the United States. At the same time, this use of law destroys many oppor tunities for the taking of big steps-the type of steps which have led to the enterprise for which the United States is famous throughout the world, including Canada.

They preferred to call it "hit the flicks. "When one bobby- . soxer pleaded to be al- lowed to "bit the flicks," her mother was ready for her. "Certainly, my dear," she agreed, "but not until you've scrubbed the tub, scoured the shower, spread the bed, and swished the dish." Two Cornell! ans met after a lapse of several . years.
