Toronto columnist Bruce West found that most Canadians were pro-Johnson possibly, he said, because "Canadians traditionally 'vote democratic' during U. S. elections." Tendency Distressing He added: "If you are a strong Canadian nationalist, this tendency among Canadians can be quite distressing. Just when you think that we have the Canadian beaver smacking his tail disdainfully in the direction of the American eagle, something like a presidential election comes along to reveal that the fascinating pull of the great magnet south of the border is still as great as ever." Swanson wrote a column In the Calgary Herald deploring what he said was the lack of understanding of Canada in the United States. He illustrated his point with a story about a little girl crossing the border from the United States for her first visit to Canada.

She stuck her head out of the train window and said: "Good-by. God. I'm going to Canada." When the Toronto board of trade heard about this it decided to investigate. It found that she had uttered these words aH right, but that the meaning had been altered in the telling. It was clear, the investigators concluded, that what the little girl really said was: CLEVER GIFT CLOCKS GENERAL ELECTRIC mate thrht on!

Looking Backwards 25 YEARS AGO Dec. 2, 1939 Without naming countries, President Roosevelt says in a formal statement today the government hopes American manufacturers and exporters of airplanes, aeronautical equipment and materials would bear in mind the government's policy of condemning "unprovoked bombing" of civilians.

And in English-Canada they speak the same language even witt) a similar accent. This led one Canadian to ask sarcastically whether English Canadians really exist or whether they are "just Americans who play hockey." A U. S.

official remarked: "It is a popular notion that Canadians and Americans beam so warmly at each other across the boundary line that the Great Lakes never quite freeze solid. The truth is that these smiles sometimes resemble the twitching from gas pains." Canadians are generally friendly with visiting Americans and thousands cross into the United States daily. But they don't like to be told that Canadians and Americans are just alike, or that we don't consider them as foreigners. Article Cited This feeling was expressed with some warmth in an article by Ian Sclanders, former Washington correspondent of Maclean's Magazine. Americans expect Canadians to feel flattered, he said, when you tell them they are just like Americans; and having convinced themselves that the United States and Canada are one, they feel they can take Canada for granted.

He added: "What I am positive of after four years in Washington is that Canada is not a northerly extension of the United States, that Canadians are not just like Americans and don't wish to be, and that we should do more to impress, the Americans that we do have a national character, a national identity, a national destiny." But you find it hard, nevertheless, to separate Canadians from Americans when you mingle with them at airports and in hotels. Millions of Canadians have lived in the United States or have relatives there. And there are tens of thousands of American citizens, or former American citizens, living in Canada In Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island alone there are an estimated 30,000 who were either American-born or born of American parents. Premier Robert Stanfield himself attended Harvard Law School before embarking on a political career in Nova Scotia. Huge American Colony In Calgary, Alberta, there Is another huge American colony.

The lieutenant governor of Alberta and the head of the Calgary Rotary Club were born in the United States. The publisher of the' Calgary Herald, Frank Swanson, attended the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. This interchange is natural, since 90 per cent of Canada's population and all its largest cities are within 200 miles of the U. S. border.

One thing is apparent when you've spent some time in Canada and that is that the two countries are, perhaps, more closely linked through common interests and economic ties than any two countries in the world.

"We're not just Americans, who play hockey," Canadians declare. The following third of five ar ticles explores just where American influence is greatest in Canada and the areas of irritation.) By MAX HARRELSON Associated Press Writer OTTAWA, (AP) The border between the United States and Canada often has been described as the longest undefended frontier in the world.

It also has been called "the unequal border." Some Canadians think the, latter is more meaningful, since it calls attention to the disparity in the size and influence of the two neighbors a factor which has an important bearing on their relations. It is not fear of a military attack that bothers Canadians; it is the constantly growing shadow of the giant south of the borr der. There is a serious concern that Canada's identity may be blurred or even destroyed by a gradual and unconscious extension of U. S. influence and culture.

There undoubtedly is a bit of national pride involved. Evidence Everywhere Everywhere Canadians see evidence of creeping U. S. penetration: Magazines, books, mo- One Charge Is Dismissed, Another Amended David Stacy of 407 Otter Oshkosh, appeared in Winnebago County Court Branch 3 this morning on two rio charges, one of which was dismissed, the other amended to disorderly conduct. It was charged that he (1) verbally threatened to do injury to a girl Oct.

24 in the City of Oshkosh, and (2) threatened the same girl in a letter Oct 28. Winnebago County Dist. Atty. Jack Steinhilber explained to Judge James V. Sitter that investigation warranted dismissal of the charge involving the letter.

Stacy's attorney told the court his client had been drinking and it was his opinion that drink was responsible for the verbal threat. After Stacy pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct, the district attorney recommended a fine. Judge Sitter imposed a fine of $30 and costs or 10 days in jail. Robert D. Humphrey, 28, of Racine, charged with vagrancy today in the City of Oshkosh, pleaded innocent.

The matter was adjourned for 24 hours. Workshop For Volunteers Held At State Hospital Winnebago State Hospital marshaled staff members from the children's unit for a workshop this week as training for members of the Fox River Valley Council of Red Cross Volunteers. The RC volunteers were greeted by Dr. Darold Treffert, hospital administrator, in the Gordon Hall classroom when the workshop opened Monday. Discussing the adolescent patient, volunteers heard an introduction by Dr.

Stanley Mcizio, unit chief, and an explanation of activities planned for the education of young people, presented by Paul Driefuerst, hospital school principal, and Reza Ghannad, recreation therapist. A showing of the film, "Angry Boy," was accompanied by commentary by Gerald Stein, children's unit social worker. The workshop was one of four held to orient Red Cross volunteers to duty at the hospital.
