In my role as MPP for
Pai-ktlal- e riding I have des--
voted considerable attention
to tbe problems in Eastern
Europę In parlicular I have
always been concerned about
the issue of human rigbts
and the opporlunily for free
dissenl and criticism of 'the
"system" in the Ukrainę
Sovict Union Czechoslovakia
and Poland
The plighl of the dissidents
iias louched all of us Men
like Vladimir Moroz are lo
be admired for their courage
sta mina and commilmenl lo
their cause As a result ii is
inipcralive for those of us in
Canada to respond willi signs
of suport and encourage-meh- t
In recent years members
of the Polish communily have
been in the forefront in sup-po- rl
of the dissidents Por
myself I was aclive in tbe
establishment of the Charter
77 Group in To)-ont- o which
is committed to the enforce-men- l
of the Helsinki Human
Rights Aecords One of my
y responsibilities in Charter 77
u was being the cbairman ol
the special commillee lo help
the Czech dissidents on trial
in Prague I was inslrumental
in making surę that Canadian
legał counsei was present as
ohscrvcrs at the Prague dis-sidents
trials
I have been aclively en- -
couraging my fellow Polisb
Canadians to voicc their con-cern- s
about the Soviel gov-crnmen- fs
lack 'of respecl for
human dignily basie rights
and the freedom of speech
Speaking out against tbe
Soviet Union's policy on dis-se- nt
bas laken on ever great-e- r
meaning for Polish Cana-- i
dians because of the recenl
evenls in Poland We are Jall
aware of the labour and poli-lica- l
unresl sweeping Poland
because it is the result of
the deterioraling economic
conditions and the denial of
the basie righl to form inde-pendent

One of the greatest fears
of Polish-Canadia- ns (and all
other ethnic minorities in
Canada) is that their partic-nla- r
cullure will become ex-tin- ct
Tighter immigration
policies in addition lo a
greater inerease in non-Eu-rope- an
immigrants threatens
the very fibrę of Polish-Canadia- n
society today The lack
of recent Polish immigra-tion
could perhaps mean the
loss of many lime-honoure- d
cusloms and tradltions as to-lay- 's
youth becomes assimi-- r
lated inlo North American
society (and its values) and
forget the ways of their re-lativ- es
To many second and third
generation Polish-Canadia- ns
being Polish is going to babci
once a month and eating
barszcz and gołąbki Many
have become thoroughly Ca-nadianiz- ed Other families
such as my own do not even
speak Polish at home This
I think to be a grave error
Others either no longer at-ten- d
a Polish church or no
church at all Herę is where
the rcot of the problem lies
Rcligion and language (as the
v French-Canadian- s long ago
discovered) are the keys to
the preservation of any cul-lure
in a threatening foreign
environment
Of course language eheom-passe- s
a great deal morę
than speaking a bastardized
version of a tongue that is
scarcely intelligible lo one in
Poland Language includes
the fine Polish literary Iradi-tio- n
and as a logical exteh-sio- n
the theatre and cinema
There is a way to stop the
slide into total Canadian assi- -
milalion and to preserve mul- -

and I decided to cali
a local community meeling
where local residents and
labour representa"tives would
meet 'to discuss the Polish
crisis
Al this meeting represen-tative- s
from they Ontario Fed-eratio- n
of Labour Cliff Pil-ke- y
(president) and -- Louis
Lbnkinski (adminislralive as-sista- nt) and Wally Majesky
(president of the Labour
Council of Metropolitan To-ronto)
voiced "their concerns
on the Polish issue with 250
community residents and as
a result there was unani-mou- s
supporl for a resolution
demanding unequivocal sup-port
for Solidarity and that
the 'federal government ex-pres- s
its fuli support for the
democratizatioh process in
Poland
I know that my conslilu- -
come invol'ved in a Polish
youth or dance group Mem-bershi- p
in one of these
organizations puts one into
contact with others of the
same opinion —the opinion
that something must be done
and done now before there is
no longer a Polish culture in
Canada to protect
My own experiences lies
with the University of West-ern
Ontario's Polish Stu-dent- s'
Association (UWO
PSA) Our club seeks to
preserve the Polish culture
through monthly meetings
and a variety of other events
Past events have included
sleigh rides pot-luc- k dinners
(strictly Polish food and
wódka of course) and dances
Traditionally at Chrislmas
time we go into several local
nursing homes and geriatrie
hospitals and entertain the
residents with Polish Christ-ma- s
carols
Our club is very busy as
we approach our tenth anni-versar- y
in November of 1981
Plans are already under way
for our Anniversary Bali and
a Polish Film Festival
As is apparent we will not
let the Polish cullure die out
Our club's only shorteoming
is that some members do not
speak Polish We have' our
parenłs tb blame for this
who in łheir mad rush to
gain acceptahce as equal
parłners in English Canada
(a pursuit not always success-ful- )
have neglected łhe fu-turę

THE WORKER POWER
Numerically blue collar
workers constilule in Poland
a vcry substantial power:
over "two fiflhs of the eco-nomical- ly active population
over ten times morę workers
than during the inlcrwar pe-riod
the employment in in-dust- ry and construclion to-geth- er constitutes two fifths
of 'the total employment
(morę than iń some devel-ope- d
western socielics) Mosl
of the blue collar workers
are localed in induslry where
there are four of them for
each while collar worker
ojhers are in construction
stale agricullurc etc
The growlh of blue collar
strat um happened mostly
during the 1950s and the
1970s due to the rapid in-dustrializa-lion
based on verv
high level of investment in
industry and heavy constru-lio- n
at the espense cf aeri-cultur- e
and housing In this
respecl Poland Easl Germa-ny
and Rumunia have been
at the top of the Soviet bloc
countries In Poland during
the period 1960-197- 8 the
wbite labour force grew by
40 per cent but the labour
force in socialized economy
grew by 70 per cent when
the population growth was
only 18 per cent
The rising aspiralions of
Polish blue collar workers
are closely relaled lo the
changing social background
of this social category Dur-ing
the period from 1950 to
the middle of the 1970s in
Poland the percentage of the
population not engaged in
agriculture grew from 53 to
73 per cent on the average
around 3 per cent per year
in comparison with the 13
per cent yearly 'growlh of the
total population The share
of the labour force in agri-culture
decreased from over
a hali' to less than one fourlh
The share of industry in the
total labour force nas grown
from one fifth I o One third
From a country numerical-ly
dominated by poor pea-santr- y
Poland bccame a
country numerically domi-nated
by the blue collar
worker stratum until recent-l- y
consisting mainly of peo-pl- e
who were born in the
countryside In the period
from 1950 to Ihe middle of
1970s fivo million people
moved from agriculture to
other branches of the eco-nomy
mainly to nalionalized
industry IIowevcr there are
some close lies of Polish blue
collar workers with the coun-tryside
where one third of all
workers still live
The fact that farming bas
remained in Poland mostly in
private hands makes a dif-feren-ce
among others in the
social structure in compari-son
with other East European
countries For example in
comparison with Hungary the
Polish labour force consisted
in the carly 1970s one third
of private farmers but bnly
2 per cent in Hungary A half
of the Polish małe labour
force was of peasant origin
but only one quarter in Hun-gary
On the other hand in
Hungary 22 per cent of this
force were the offspring of
agricultural and forestry
manuał workers but only 8
per cent in Poland In both
countries social mobility dur-ing
the period of socialist in-clustrializa-tion
was strong:
many private farmers be-cam- e
blue collar workers the
offspring of blue collar work-ers
enlcred in large humbers
to ranks of while collar
workers intelligentsia be- -

There was a very subslan- -

impact of socialist industriali- -
zalion particularly in the
1950s The generał patlcrn
ol it js similar both in Poland
and in Hungary and its im- - pad appears in tbe present
day structure of social origin
Children of privale farmeis
have mored in large numbers
to nonagricultural oceupa-"tion- s
and bccame mostly blue
collar workers The lowcr
ranks of while collar workeis
have been inereased by Ihe
blue collar workers' off-spring
Managers and profes-sional- s
have also reccivcd a
large inpul from the 'tradi-tionally
lowcr strata but
much less from peasants
than from the blue collar
workers All these transfor-mation- s
resulted from scv-cr- al
factors: war losses par-ticularly

Polish intelligentsia promo-tio- n
of people from lowcr
