Members of the Federal District Commission learned this when visiting the park yesterday, on a tour thas carried them 36 miles north-eastward to Lac Lapeche to view a new site, 510 acres in extent, recently included as part of the For A True Self -Esteem Seek Reality In Life A true self-esteem is a wonderful thing. Not a distasteful egoism or conceit, but a true self-appraisal of oneself that reality in life where we say of ourselves that which wc actually think of ourselves.

Mr. Bronson felt that through the co-operation of the various departments of education a national essay contest, based on ths National could be created. Students winning honors would be given an expense paid trip to visit the capital. The members applauded the suggestions and approved the tentative plans for publicity.

D. P. Cruikshank, chairman of the Publicity Committee, told the members that plans were being laid to bring the development of the Capital to the attention of all Canadians. Con. L.

"primitively crude yet mystical, ecstatic medieval styles and the new, polishing. enlight- park system.

The FDC, embodying promin ent Canadians from all the provinces, who were recently appointed to the commission, ended its two day visit, yesterday after noon, to points of interest in relation to the development of Ot tawa and its environs as the national capital. Following a meeting with Jacques Greber. consultant for the National Capital Planning Committee, who explained the scope of the program, the FDC members visited integral points on the Ontario side, Thursday, and ended its work by a tour of the Gatlneau Park system. Visit Bureau Site In Hull, prior to going on to the park, the site of the nejf National Printing Bureau, on Sacred Heart Boulevard, was viewed. In traversing the Gatineau National Park the FDC members traversed the Chelsea, Mountain and Notch Roads.

At Kingsmere, the party climbed by way of one of the trails to the Wallsford Lookout and there viewed the panorama that takes in much of the area involved in the planning of the National Capital. They learned that from Memorial Terrace, to be erected on a high point at the south end of the Gatineau range, overlooking Fairy Lake, an even more impressive view of the terrain would be obtained. It is on this height it Is proposed a memorial to the men and women who served in the Second World War will be erected, but the whole broad scope of the plan is also a memorial to those who served. It was learned, passing along the present Meach Lake road, that a new parkway is planned on the opposite side to provide access from Chelsea along the valley of the Meach through to Harrington and Phillippe Lake. It is planned, also, to create a motor road from Quyon along the south shore of Lac Lapeche to St.

Cecille de Masham and the roadways connecting with that place. At Lac Lapeche, it was learned, the FDC has acquired 510 acres of land and a fine lodge with other buildings, which will be used to enhance the camping and park facilities of that area. Approximately $30,000 has been expended in this project. From Wakefield the party went on to Lac Phillippe to view the park development and learned that this area is steadily growing in popularity. At Wakefield At Wakefield, where the party lunched, there was an informal discussion on methods of publicly zing the development of the National Capital.

Frederick E. Bron-son, chairman of the FDC, led the discussion and urged the members not to lose sight of the fact that the program called for the de velopment of the National Capital that it was as important to all Canadians, as to those, who lived in the immediate area, to remember that the Capital was symbolic of that Canada stood for, in unity, in advancement, in relation to the community of nations in which Canada plays an ever-growing significant part. The capital of such a country must be imposing and of such a nature that all Canadians could point to it with pride riot only as the scat of government but as the heart, the capital of the nation, ho maintained. Mr. Bronson asked for suggestions to publicize the work of developing the capital so that all Canadians might understand the project.

Special Stamp Urged It was suggested that a special stamp be designed, and issued by the Postal Department, com-morating the development of the National Capital. It was thought, also, that a greater significance to the provinces could be secured by naming streets, boulevards, some of the public works, after the provinces so that visitors could indicate TORONTO GRADUATE W. S. Fancy, son of Mr. and Mrs.

J. M. Fancy. 15 Euclid avenue, who has obtained the degree of Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering and Business from the University of Toronto. By Russell Mctlillivray, BA, BD I remember the stir there was when a public man of strong opinions made a demand for "enlightened self-interest." I think the remark was first made in an address in Ottawa.

I could wish that a personality not quite so difficult had made the appeal. But it did provoke a lot of comment, most of it, that enlightened self-interest was a bad business. Of coures there would be no commotion if I suggest that a fine self-esteem would be a good thing. Just, probably, a raised eye brow, and a suggestion that a eared- for conceit was showing. On the defensive somebody says, "life will be at best for everyone when each remembers to keep his place." That is agreed.

But it must be the place that they have decided is theirs, and not the place which someone else decides. You see, thit is where we get live3 all twisted when we allow for 6o little self-esteem. The new minister is taken to see the church house. A kindly mtentioned board member says: "We decided that our ministers should live here. I'm sure you'll fit in very well." And something more of precious self-esteem is snipped in a life.

If there could be some quickening of life, and some flash of honesty by which we would find and recognize our. rightful place in life, then it would be Quite agreed that we work to keep in that place. There is a natural and praiseworthy timidity about our ability for the untried. There may be phases of the situation which will prove to be beyond us. But for this opportunity you have trained yourself.

You have thought about it. And now, the hour has You may be given no chance to do other than go right at it. But, if you are given the chance, and someone in authority asks, "do you think you can do this piece of work?" then lift your head, look him quietly in the eyes, and say just as quietly, "yes. I think that I can do this piece of work." At once, and probably on into the hours on the night, the little Imps of doubt and question will be at you from every angle, and you will be afraid. But remember, this is the place and part for which you trained.

Wise people, with a certain type of wisdom, will assure all and sundry, "we can all be done without; none of us Is indispensable; you'll never be missed and you might as well face that." I have sometimes thought that these suggestions come most easily from those who are, as we say, "sitting pretty" in life. Deep down I fear that they sometimes have that feeling of being indispensable. But accepting the wise as if intended kindly, it is not all as true as it sounds. All the making of human history does move on. But, if you make any contribution at all, you make one that is all your own.

You will be missed, it may be only a few, but with some, and with life as a whole, no one can ever take 5'our place. The realization of that should not add a silly swagger to life rather just a deeping of a fine self-esteem. We are informed that an Oriental practice is to express publicly the lowest possible value on one's ability. Evidently the expression is not taken too seriously. It Is a kind of bargaining point in the appreciation of ability.

Starting at zero, or below zero, seems like a safe proposition. Life would seem more wholesome and certainly more straightforward if we attempted no such de-valuation of personality. What a glorious shock would go through a meeting, if, having nominated a certain person to try for election to Parliament that person should rise and say," thank you: I feel that you have chosen wisely. If I thought that there was DENTIST J. Howard Young, son of Mr.

and Mrs. J. Howard Young, 16 Ossington avenue, and a graduate of Glebe Collegiate, who received the de gree of Doctor of Dental Sur- gery from McGill University recently. I Vv 4 i meet this responsibility I would be the first to nominate that person. In facing this opportunity, for which I feel fitted, I will be sure of your support." Oh no, no, you say.

That sounds dreadful. Much better the expres sion of unfitness and humility. Surely not, when in honesty the speaker is thinking something else. In suggesting a fine self-esteem for anyone think not that I am inviting the distasteful thing we call egoism, conceit. I am inviting above all else that reality in life where we say of ourselves that which we actually think of our selves.

If, for instance, you think that you are unworthy, incapable of any steadiness in the things which are fine, and feel that you must so label yourself, even in public utterance, by all means follow that line, if it brings reality to your. life. But if you think, even though it sounds queer, that you have done not too badly, that there are still unused tracts of fineness and loyalty in you, and though others be uncertain, you can say with assurance, "this I was worth to God" then if this be real to you, follow it. It is only honoring something as fine as human personality to have a fine self-esteem. Mr.

Pearson' Raps Campaign By The Canadian Press SAULT STE. MARIE External Affairs Minister Pearson last night attacked what he termed a "cheap revolting campaign" by opposition parties against Prime Minister St. Laurent and the Liberal party. Terming Prime Minister St. Laurent a great Canadian and leader, Mr.

Pearson said In an election address: "Mr. St. Laurent is being subjected to bitter attacks from men who should and do know better." He claimed that one result of attacks of Progressive Conservative speakers against Mr. St. Laurent was that people were swinging away from the Conservatives and towards the Liberal party.

"The Tories," he said, "are marching straight to their accustomed spot at the left of the speaker."

Wage Law For Quebec Sought By The- Canadian Presa GRANBY, Que. The provincial federation of Labor yesterday adopted a resolution requesting the provincial government to set a minimum wage law of 75 cents an hour and a five-day, 40-hour week for Quebec. Some 600 delegates from all parts of the province attending the federation's annual three-day meeting in this eastern townships city also agreed that a uniform minimum wage should be applied for all of Canada. Attention was directed to the fact that the cost-of-living in Quebec is as high as in any other province, yet wages paid in Quebec are the lowest of any province. This was particularly true in the construction trades.

Gazing at the new loan exhibition of German painting which will be on display until the end of July is like enjoying a rare, somewhat too short appetizer.

A "Descent from the Cross," is remarkable through the flow of its movement and the vivid inter-weaving of figures and contrasting colors. The third painting. "Descent of the Holy Ghost," has almost dramatic strength. The miracle is, naively depicted: tongues of flame appear on the heads of the apostles, and their faces reflect the wonder in differing expressions: surprise, bewilderment, pious adoration. up to the ecstasy of the kneeling figure in the foreground.

A fanciful portrayal of "St. George and the Dragon" in a medieval landscape of trees, hills and castle, is by Joerg Breu the Elder. Interesting Portraits Interesting portraits are the neatly executed "Young Man" and a "Young Woman" in a white shining headgear, by Bar-tel Bruyn the Younger and a very respectable looking member of the rich Augsburg merchant family Fugger, painted by "Hans Maler zu Schwaz" in 1512. Of the same period is the anonymous, carefully modelled portrait of "Bearded Man" belonging to the Swabiafi School.

The painting deals, most tenderly, with the mystic "Marriage of Catherine" set gainst a shining golden background. Conventional Grouping A large painting by Johann Koerbecke, "Presentation in the Temple," shows the conventional grouping of this religious subject but is sensitively executed and attractive in spite br perhaps even because of its Gothic disproportions between the too small body of the Child and the enlarged superhands of the adults. Of Lucas Cranach the Elder we see a strong painting, "Christ at Gethsemane," and the "Rhenish School" is represented through three noteworthy examples: "Virgin and Child" (painted about 1520) is despite its strict, academic composition a work ef delicate charm enhanced by the beautiful architectural frame, a mountainous landscape SURGERY DEGREE Franklin Bcrkman of fi5) Russell avenue graduated from Queen's University, receiving his Doctor of Medicine and Master of Surgery degree.
