This being Canada's Centennial Year, and with the crowds that are thronging through the St. Lawrence Valley on the way to the great world's fair, Montreal's Expo 67, we should have the biggest attendance ever. It is wonderful, of course, to have so many visitors from out of town, including many of our good neighbors from Canada, enjoying our hospitality and shopping for bargains in the downtown stores that will be taking part again wholeheartedly in the Festival But it is also up to the folks right hr.'e a1 home to turn out and take par! in ihe festivities. You will be glad you did! Tomorrow morning at 10, the Festival gets underway officially with the crowning of the two Queens — Miss Valerie Boyer of OFA and Miss Sharon Cholet of SMA —- on the steps of City Hall. This is the first time in the history of the Seaway Festival that two young ladies have been singled out to share this honor. Also tomorrow morning and continuing through the day, the Sidewalk Sale and Bazaar — always a popular feature—will be held throughout the downtown area. To add to the festive atmosphere, a Pipe Band Brockville will he playing up and i Ford St. during the day. aiurday, the Sidewalk Sale and Bazaar continue, and that afternoon brings \really big show\ — the Festival Pa- rade. General Chairman Richard Winter and all his many cohorts have worked hard to make this ihe best parade ever in Og- densburg. and certainly the presence of no less than 19 bands in the line of march- in their gay uniforms and with various pre- cision drills — almost guarantees this. In addition to bands from high schools fror dow the in Ogdensburg, Hammond, Morristown, Russe'l, Lisbon, Hermon-DeKalb and Ed- wards, there will be a glittering lineup of visiting bands — many of which are here for the Battle of the Drums — from as far away as Arnprior, Out.; Jacques Cartier, Que., and the Otto-Eldred Band from Pennsylvania. There will be five separate divisions in the parade — each with its quota oi colorful floats. Thai same evening, visitors and Og- densburg residents, alike, will be treated to the spectacle of the Battle of the Bands at the OFA Athletic Field. We don't need to tell anyone who has seen this event in past years, what a tremendous show it is. There is something about all these bright uni- forms under the lights — with their excit- ing music and precise maneuvers—that makes a summer night really come alive for young and old. A special feature of this year's Battle of the Drums will be the appearance at 7:45 Saturday evening, at the OFA Field, of the Ogdensburg Free Academy Band, who will be joined by 15 members of the St. Mary's Academy Band, in a special marching and musical presentation, preceding the formal Drum Pageant. And don't forget that on Sunday, the various service clubs of the city will be staging their mammoth Chicken Barbecue —rain or shine—from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Odd Fellows Hall on the Arterial High- way. Baseball games in the afternoon and evening will wind up the Seaway Festival festivities. So again we urge all our readers to bring their friends and relatives out to en- joy Ogdensburg's biggest weekend of the year. The Seaway Festival Committee has put in months of hard work, and the suc- cess of the Festival in previous years has put Ogdensburg \on the map.\ Let's have another really good one this year!

DREW PEARSON: A 'Marshall Plan* To Rebuild Ghettos Urgently Needed Washington - What ihe United State needs today is a giant Marshall Plan to rebuild the ghettos of our big cities and rehabilitate their people. We spent several billion rebuilding the ruined cities nf Europe after World War II and putting both our al- lies and our enemies back on their feet- It was a good investment. We still spend about three billions a year ic battle communism around the world. Meanwhile, we have Negro insurrection in our major cities with effect\ worse than cr/nmunism, all because we refuse to remedy the basic causes — poverty, slum housing, overcrowded schools, inadequate teachers, al- coholism and crime. These are conditions which the communist countries that we oppose have remedied but which get progressively worse in America. The chances of getting a Marshall Plan for America through Congress, however, are almost nil — for two reasons: i—The violence nf the American Negro which has Uirned public sentiment against him. He is his own worst enemy. The more he wreaks vengeance on the white man, the more the white man, who is in a major- ity, turns against him. 2—The make-up of Congress, which is elected bv white, rural America, with the small towns holding control of the key committee chairmanships. Men like Kep. William Colmer of Mississippi, who heads the Rules Committee and can control which legislation reaches the House for a vote, is not going to help push a Marshall Plan for America. As a result of riots, more and more Notthern Congressmen are now lining up with the South -SLAPPING DOWN THE CITIES— Both points are illustrated by what happened in Con- gress last week. While Negro violence spread from Newark, to Plainfield, to Detroit, the House of Repre- sentatives laughed down a relatively small appropria- tion oi §20,(100,000 to fight slum rats, and earlier cut the model cities program in half while killing rent .subsidies altogether. In contrast, it voted §750.000 last week to .study a canal between Pittsburgh and Lake Erie which almost no one except Rep. Mike Kirwan. D-Ohio, wants: ear- ier voted 510.0^0,000 to build a fancy fish aquarium for tne District of Columbia which few people wanted: has voted many millions over the years to clean water hyacinths out of Southern waierawys because they clog the propeh'-rs of pleasure boats: allocated S20,000, iOO to switch a Food and Drug laboratory from Belts- viile. Md, to Madison, Wis., and earlier voted money for a cottonweed control station in the Mississippi dis- trict of Hep. Jamie Whitten and a peanut laboratory in Sen. Dick Russell's state of Georgia because these •two powerful rural solons held up the farm bill ap- propriation until they got what they wanted. Last week, in further contrast, the House voted an an- ii-riot bill which many Congressmen consider uncon- stitutional and which will do nothing to stop the basic cause of (he race riots. ( In view of the above, there is little chance of a Mar- shall Plan for America to bring better housing, new schools, better teachers and job training to the big cit- ies. And probably there will be no chance as long as Negro demands are made at the point of the brick, the sniper's bullet, and the Molotov cocktail. However, what the white rural Congress must real- ize is That people who have nothing to lose aren't scar- ed of anything So they'll continue fighting and rioting and brick-throwing until they've got something to lose, -AMBITION AND DIGNITY- Vice President Humphrey, who is LBJ's trouble- shooter on race relations, has been reminding Negro leaders that the Irish, the Jews, the Italians, and quite recently the Cubans migrated to this country and pulled themselves up to being leaders of the com- munity without government grants; therefore, Negroes should do the same. ( But history shows that when the Irish first invaded America there were race riots in New York and Phil- adelphia which made the Newark and Detroit riots look like Sunday school picnics. There were also ser- oius Negro riots. Against 26 killed in Newark in 1967, there were 1,200 Negroes killed in New York in 1862, because Negroes were blamed for the Civil War Draft History also shows that during 350 years of American slavery the Negro was kept in a state of bartered serf- dom in which he lost the human qualities so necessary to taking an important place in modern society. He lost ambition and he lost dignity. No human being could cherish ambition when he could look forward to nothing more than future years of slavery And few men could keep their dignity when • subject to the absolute order of other men who own them. The Irish, the Italians, the other immigrants to this country threw off their shackles of serfdom several centuries before Ihey came to this country. Pride and ambition drove them and their sons forward to becom- ing mayors of American cities, judges, Congressmen and Presidents nf the United States. They had a long head start over the Negro. This is what some of our rural Congressmen need to realize when they laughingly veto money to eradicate rats, or kill rent subsidies or ridicule the Anti-Poverty Pro- gram, or hamstring the model cities project. These are just drops in the bucket toward a Marshall Plan for America so bad'y needed to remedy our most danger- ous and depressing domestic problem. the police station It was well he did.
