Response To The
Bishops
In his recent declaration leply-tag to the Catholic bishops' petition for expanded concessions to the Sq[)arate S(^iool, Premier John Robarta made two observations that have a direct Interest to toe Jewish conununity..
• "Our sdcie^," he stated In the legUIaturo, "simply has not enough wealth to support a dual sdiool system beyond the elementary level, or a mnl^-denomi-national system at ady level."
.Here Mr. Robarts seems to be casting a hint that no extension of the. Separate School arrangement to others is being contemplated. Whether he knows of the suggestions that are being made in some Jewish day school circles that money be sou^t from governmental sources or not, this may reflect an answer to be antidpated.
ReKgious Courses Offered
• His second observation was more q)eclfic and given In greater detail. It was a suggestion that, thov^ the bishops' demand for Separate Ugh schools was rejected, he was offering a substitute: religious courses in the hligji sdiools.
Here is part of what Mr.
Robarts had to say <m thfs
question: -
"It might very weU be that this principle could be extended Into our secondary soihools and teachers' colleges, where religious knowledge options, canyii^ credit standr ing, supervised by the clergy
• of the faith concerned, might be provided. This is a very large and important subject, which cannot be dealt with without long and careful thought and. consideration. . However, I would be very
happy to hntUuta the necessary discussions in order that this oonc^t, ^ch has served so well in the development of our imiversity system, could be clos^ examined and evaluated in relatloai to

Montreal's Old 'T" Since 1929 the Mortimer Davis YMHA has been a landmark on Mcmtreal's Jewish landscape. It has been sold now for half-a-million doUars to the University of Montreal to be used for Its physical education courses.
Montreal's YU & YWHA got its start in 1910 in an old house on Ontario Street. It later shifted to what is now Clark Street and afterwards moved to St. Urbain Street, taking over the premises of an Irish atbletic dub. Israel Rabinowlts, Writing In the Eaglev remembers a symphony orchestra of the YMHA In ibose days in which he, as a youngster, participated as a-violinist. .The conductor was the prominent musical figure J. J- Gagnler. Cost of this enterprise was borne by a Montreal clothing manufacturer, Sol Kellert.
The next home of the "TT* was on Sherbrooke tmtll it moved to the new structure on Mount Rovpi Street,' named for the Imitated tobacco magnate. Sir Mortirner Davis, who donated the total iexpenditure for the building.

The expected attendance was the largest yet in the five years of the event. Wives were invited and the location was shifted from a church to Don Mills CoIt leglate allowing for what was expected to be a larger crowd. • It is not generally known that Dr Fred Schwarss (rhymes with ''^Wars", Australia's gift to the North American Ultra • Rlg^t, owes his American career to lume

The Ideal PasisoTer Gifi
other t2ian a well known Toronto figure of the recent past
It was the Reverend T. T. Shields, unreconstructed S^^tlst Irregular, the stormy petrel of Jarvis and Gerrard streets,-Canada's arch exponent of anti:
Catholic bigotry and fearless toe of evolution and religious modernism, that "discovered" Schwais and gave him his c^iportunity, an opportunity of which in made full use. •
Back in 1950, ishlelds and a New Jersey clergyman named Me. Intire, on a visit to yiustraila. recognized tho imdeniable talents of this '-orator-Iecturer-physidan and invited him to come to North Amerirajm a two oiohth eptadt. ing tour.
Once Dr. Sdhwan tasted ttut fruits of success he decided to stay and make the best of'his "Christian Antl-Communlst Crusade". Ever since, he has been om of the most successful (from-the lucrative point of view) of the John Birch type of propagandists.
Schwarz has an hiteresUng. "gimmick" in his approach.; He is ihe Bon of an Austrian Jew named Paul Schwars, xniio left Vienna for England at the age of 12. There he converted to Chrlsti' anlty, and married Phoebe. Sndtti, an English girl who was Methodist lay worker. The elder Schwaia himself .became a .lay preacher of the Fentetestal persuasion and the son, Frederick Charles, experienced a religloas re.birth at 17, This, of course, gives Bdiwan means for disavowlhg anti. semiOsni: how can he, bom of a Jewish father, in any way f)e antt/ Jewish,' is Ills clahn. This, bow-ever, has riot stcjpped him In bis speeches in Tfttas of cooapIaJipnig hltterly how "the Jfews^' ijreMable to block his progress inVthe' city of Now York, where, acoirdlflg to Schwarz, "they" controled every. tWng.
