On this radio program, 12 citizens from Montreal state their favorite New Year's resolutions for Canada in 1957 and three of these are discussed in detail. The chair is Gordon Hawkins, Associate Director of the Canadian Association for Adult Education. First is the introduction of the panelists and their resolutions: Doyle [Klyn] of Weekend Magazine states that women should put a little less emphasis on equality of the sexes and more on the differences between the sexes. Montreal lawyer and writer Pierre Trudeau says that 99 percent of Canada's defence budget should be diverted into the production of atomic energy to be applied to the removal of ice caps in the Canadian northlands. William Dodge, regional representative of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employees, says that the Canadian public and labour movement should support the position taken by the Firemen's Union in the current Canadian Public Railway dispute. Raymond Dupuis, President of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, says that good citizens must definitely exercise their franchise. National Hockey League President Clarence Campbell says that active participation in organized sports should be made compulsory for all students in elementary and secondary schools. Montreal barrister and politician Paul [Gevan Lechoi], says that steps should be taken to establish a council of provincial governments as a permanent means of achieving information sharing and cooperation. [Eileen Ross] of the McGill University Department of Sociology, says that the Canadian government, as part of its commitment to the Colombo Plan, should send Canadian university students to universities in the Middle East and Far East. Dean [Thompson], Moderator of the United Church of Canada, says that we should strive after spiritual unity and a unity of Canadian churches. George Mooney, Executive Director of the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities, says that there should be a provincial-municipal conference to discuss helping the municipal governments deal with problems of urbanization. Thérèse Casgrain, leader of the Social Democratic Party in Quebec says that the Canadian people should demand that the Liberal government establish a national health plan. Professor Maxwell Cohen, President of the Canadian branch of the International Law Association, says that Canadians must examine fully the obligations they have assumed with respect to the United Nations Emergency Force. Mary Winspear, Principal of Weston School in Montreal, says that we should get rid of the old cliché that as soon as a woman is trained for a job she should get married. The panelists vote to choose three of the resolutions for discussion: a permanent council for the provinces; a national health insurance plan and the meetings of the three levels of government to discuss urbanization. A discussion follows. The group votes on the resolution that is the most vital for Canadians to realize in 1957: a national health insurance program. Next is presented listener response to questions posed on a previous program. <45mn>
