Resentment To Quebec Is Uncovered In NtId.

By RON LEBEL

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld. (CF)— The royal commission on bilin- gualism and biculturalism un- c o v e r e d some resentment against Quebec on the issues of language and the control of ore- rich Labrador here Monday.

“We don‘t want to lose Lab- rador to Quebec." one woman eald bluntly as 70 community leaders met at Memorial Uni— versity for informal group dis. oussions sponsored by the com. mission.

Later. at a general meeting attended by 130. fears were ex- pressed that French Canadian. may form up to 70 per cent of the Labrador population in .1 few years and press for union with Quebec or status as the 11th province.

Most of the lines of comma- nlcations to Labrador orig- in in Quebec rather inau Newfoundland. Speakers called for new links to tie Labrador. more closely to this island. A participant in a group discus- sion commented:

"Newfoundlanders come back and say. 'the damn Frenchmen are getting all the good jobs in Labrador'."

' This was a new slant for hie commission. which was told by French-Canadians at prevxous meetings in Quebec that “Ies

A university professor said French - Canadians get more promotions in the Labrador projects simply because they stay there longer. Newfound- landers liked to return home after about six months to main- tain family and community tics and perhaps do some commei. cial fishing.

DlSLlKE MAINLANDERS

A woman who moved here re. candy from Montreal said. “Ne‘iivfoundlandershave no me for mainlanders in general. lt'sI not a question of language."

1961 census listed 5.300 bilingual Newfoundlanders and 522 residents who speak French only out of a population of 45': - 853. (Total population currently is estimated at more than 490,-

Of the» 36 presbyterles indicated they felt the Presbyterian Church should continue as a separate denomination. The submissions made by presbyterles during the last year will provide part of the future study material.

"This will enable us to clarify our own image of ourselves." said Dr. Johnston.

History teachers must take the

dullness out of Canadian his- tory and lift it from the bot- tom of the school boy‘s popu- larity scale. Dr. Frank Mac- Kinnon said Monday.

With rare exceptions. history textbooks are “dull and uninter- esting." and fail to "satisfy completely any lingering ambi- tion" the school boy might have had toward studying Canadian history.
