' 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

utilitarian. The laws are
merely regulations which im
pose upon everyone the-actions
preferred by the ma

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. Nor are they

This utilitarian use of law
'severely limits the possibility
for - variety of activity 'in
Canadian life.
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.

IN ATLANTA, Leo Aikman noted that for a time the

as "go to the movies." They preferred to call it "hit the

soxer pleaded to be al-

her mother was ready for
her. "Certainly, my

not until you've scrubbed
the tub, scoured the
shower, spread the bed,
and swished the dish."
Two Cornell! ans met

years. "Well, - you old
