High school head is also civic politician
By GORDON BURKE
MONTREAL -
At the age of 37 Sydney, Wise has accomplished exactly what he set out to do 13 years ago when he began teaching English   foi\ the -Protestant School Board~bf greater Montreal. He is now principal of Mt; Royal High: School, and a member of the .Montreal" City Council rep-" resenting^Cote des Neiges. _
"I felt there were too maw lawyers in public life." says Wise with a smile, when asic-^ ed what attracted him to municipal politics.
"Education and politics : are closely related. Both involve working with- the public, 1 .entered political life to ensure that a humanqual-itv would be maintained in Montreal even as the city, expands at an enormous-rate."
From modest beginnings on Esplanade Street', Wise entered the faculty of arts ., at Sir George Williams University. He received his undergraduate degree in 1957-. -and-a masters.degree in English literature from the Universite de Montreal, in 1963. His teacher training took place atMcGill.
In 1960 hebegan.teaching in.the public school system. After seven years he was promoted to vice-principal, and after an additional four vears rose to his present capacity.
Montreal City Councilrepresentative Sydney Wise
Three vears ago Wise entered the Civic Party as a candidate for the district ol Cote des. Neiges. In that election, the Civic Party under Mayor Jean Drapeau won all of the 52 seats.   ■ ■
"We have been accused:of being un-democratic." admits Wise, "but It is not the obligation of a political party
to create an opposition. The citizens of Montreal voted
in a democratic election and we were their choice;
"I, entered the Civic Party because I felt it was the best; alternative to municipal government at the time. Drapeau has maintained Montreal in a position of excellence. We have the finest subway sys-Jem in North America.—if not fti the world." -- "Since his election Wise has been involved in _Jhe modification of Bylaw 3411, intended to decrease the amount of floor space per acre of land. "This will result in lower highrises, and hopefully' maintain the essential uniqueness of down-town Montreal," observes Wise, one of four Jews on the Montreal Council.
The educator sees no obstruction to the continuing prosperity of the Jewish community in Montreal. He told The Canadian Jewish News that "in terms of in-, tegration the. Jewish population is among the most integrated of the.ethnicgroups in the city; -
"The rate of bilingualism: among Jews IS higher than any other group," he maintains. "Quebec has reached; a period of stabilization, and although there will still bg; the problem of separation to contend with I believe the forces of separation have already peaked.
"The Jewish community IS heavily involved m Montreal city life m "political.

gift of games
By ROCHELLE CARR
TORONTO -
. It has long been a Jewish -tradition that when one goes calling on one's friends or relatives it is essential to take agift. As more and more Diaspora Jews visit their extended family in Israel to show their solidaritv. this tradition has taken an unprecedented importance: . According to Frank , Di- , mant. executive director. Canadian Zionist;- Federation. Central Region, "we get at. least 10 calls a dav in-qiiinng what would be suitable items to take tothesol-, diers."     .-
The Canadian Jewish News
has learned through, a reliable feource in Israel that games which can be .used by wounded soldiers, or.....soldiers on duty to offset bore- : dom would be most useful at this tune. The games must be such that English is not; essential for their use. Durability of the game parts • should also be considered. .
Some examples are backgammon, -chess, checkers, .dominoes and cards. Also any; art sets or any artistic endeavors that can be pursued by. soldiers confined to: hospital ;beds would.be appreciated.
Dimant reported a group of'volunteers from Toronto recently sent .144 sets ef chess and checkers through the CZF office
Two other valuable suggestions came from^ Irving-Matlow, president   of the
Toronto Zionist Council of Canada, and Toronto chairman of the .Association of the. Welfare for Soldiers in Israel. "Instead of buying a lot of goods soldiers don't really need, give a donation to the Soldiers' Welfare Fund and thev will put themoney to good usv. . he said.
Matlow also said stores. in Israel would greatly appreciate tourist trade now. To stimulate the Israeli, economy, -tourists S'hould continue to buy items for friends and family backhome
• as well as buy in Israel as many gifts for the soldiers as they can, he added. (Can-. die.s, toiletries and books written in Hebrew., among otlier items, .would- fall m this latter category.);.
Matlow said he: was told recently of a need for sleep-, ing. hags,    heavy leather
,. mens gloves; and portable television- sets. In response to tourists who want to take something they have made, Dimant suggested sweaters, socks and scarves. -He also noted the -increasing need
