Photo by Dutton--Times Studio Religion Essential To Peace In World "Many of you have lived through two world wars and see- ng the League of Nations rise nd fall. More recently you have een the organization of the Unit- ed Nations. The U.N. should be given every possible support, but I have a feeling of frustration as it has not given us a guarantee of peace in the world, except through service and the practical applica- tion of religion. "I would urge you to go back and live as your ancestors did. The Christian religion brought us to the point where we are today. When religion is accepted in the individual hearts of the people of the world we will have peace but not until then', declared Rev. H. S. Hillyer, DD, general secretary of the Canadian Baptist Foreign Mission Board, in an address at the luncheon meeting of the Osh- awa Rotary Club yesterday. Speaking of his experiences and impressions, gained during a round-the-world trip which he re- cently completed. Dr. Hillyer presented a highly informative and interesting talk. He was in- troduced by Rotarian S. R. Alger while the appreciation of the athering was voiced by President alter R. Branch. SEES SERIOUS TROUBLE Of South Africa, the speaker voiced the opinion that serious trouble i$ in the offing. He com- mented that the world has seen more changes in the past 20 years than in the previous 200 years. While everyone is slow to change their ideas, change must come more quickly in world thinking if peace is to be preserved. One of the difficulties in South Africa was the failure of the country's lead- ers to realise that all people must be treated alike. A Dr. Hillyer said the Belgian Congo is extremely progressive. One of its big problems is the edu- cation of its people, With this in view it had been decided that the missionaries. were best fitted to do this job. To accomplish its aim the government is providing millions of dollars for the con- struction of hospitals, schools and colleges for Roman Catholics and Protestants alike. Following a visit to Egypt, Dr. Hillyer felt that the people there are trying to gain a place in the sun and that is why they are at- tempting to wrest control from Great Britain. Egypt today is an intensely proud and nationalistic nation, PASSION FOR EDUCATION In Indian there is a passion for education and new schools and colleges are springing up every- where. This gave rise to the prob- lem of what the graduates were to do as there are few jobs for white collar workers. Between 20 and 40 cents a day is the average wage and for that reason there is much communism. 'With the po- pulation increasing at the rate of 10,000,000 a year a tremendous problem faces the government. In Japan, the speaker found that communism is not popular and the country is making rapid strides back to normalcy. Education is a fetish with 98 per cent of the po- pulation literate. There are 178 universities. Dr. Hillyer predicted that within 10 years Japan will be a first rate world power.

He and a companion were playing about the grounds near the canal while his parents and an- other couple were fishing nearby. BIRTHDAYS The fan-traceried roof of the Henry VII Chapel in Westminster 'Abbey is one of the world's archi- tectural gems. tended Congratulations are ex One Of These Men Will Be B.C.s Premier ® A 4 By THE CANADIAN PRESS ' The meteoric rise of Premier W. A. C. Bennett in British Colum- bia politics will reach another milepost June 9 when the energetic hardware merchant seeks re-elec- tion of his Social Credit govern- ment in a provincial general elec- tion. William Andrew Cecil Bennett, 52, was sworn in as the first Social Credit Premier of B.C. Aug. 1,| 1952, only a few months after throwing in his lot with the party. In the June 12 election he won his South Okanagan seat with a sweeping majority and was the first candidate in the province to be declared elected. He was first elected to the legis- lature in 1941 as a Progressive Conservative and supported the co- alition government led by Liberal Premier John Hart. In 1948 he resigned his provincial seat and took the progressive Con- servative nomination in the federal by-election in Yale riding. He was defeated by O. L. Jones of the CCF but bounced right back the follow- ing year to regain his South Okana- gan provincial seat running as a Progressive Conservative coalition- ist. Mr. Bennett broke with the co- alition at the spring session of 1951 and crossed the floor of the House after making a scathing attack on the administration. The next year he joined Social Credit and was an active worker for the party's cause during the election campaign. When Social Credit was elected with a slim one-seat majority over the CCF, Mr. Bennett, one of two government members with legisla- tive experience, was named pre- mier. Of United Empire Loyalist stock, "Cece" Bennett was born in Has- tings, New Brunswick, and moved to the Okanagan valley in 1930. He is married and has two sons and a daughter. ARNOLD WEBSTER British Columbia CCF Leader School principal Arnold Webster has been active in the CCF move- ment since its inception in 1933. He was CCF candidate in Van- couver Burrard in four federal elec- tions but lost each time, once by only six votes on a recount. In civic politics he has been more successful. First elected to the Van- couver parks board in 1940, Mr. Webster has been returned with in- creasing majorities every election since. Three times he was elected chairman by his fellow commis- sioners, none of whom shares his political beliefs. "My Bothy has always been com- munity work through one medium or another," says Mr. Webster. He has served as president of the Van- couver High School Teachers' Asso- ciation and secretary-treasurer of the B.C. Teachers' Federation. Mr. Webster 54, was elected leader of the provincial CCF or- ganization this spring to succeed the ailing Harold Winch, a veteran of 20 years in the legislature. A widower, Mr. Webster lives in Burnaby with his two teen-age sons. DEANE FINLAYSON B.C. Progressive Conservative Leader Broad-shouldered Deane Finlay- son, at 33 the youngest British Columbia party leader, is seeking election in the traditionally Conser- vative seat of Oak Bay which was lost last year by former leader Herbert Anscomb. Mr. Finlayson moved to the lea- dership of the provincial Progres- sive Conservative group from the presidency of the local association in Nanaimo where he is a partner in a successful real estate and in- surance business. He made his first political foray at the age of 16 when, with some of his pals, he raised some pointed questions during a speech by the late Senator G. G. McGeer. Mr. McGeer is reported to have stood the heckling for a time, then called police to eject Finlayson and his friends. "I thought I was a Socialist then" says Finlayson now. '"Anyway-- perhaps Gerry was right--I guess we were a pretty cheeky crew." Somewhat more moderate in his political views now, Mr. Finlayson has lost none of his youthful ex- uberance. During his campaigning in Oak Bay he recently attended some 100 coffee parties in the sy ce of 10 days.

Burning Tires Draw Crowd A mushrooming pall of blue smoke billowing into the evening sky to the north-west of Oshawa yesterday drew hundreds of sight- seers out in search of what was apparently a huge fire. The carloads of people had a long trip. The fire, which at first seemed to be at Oshawa airport, was actually three miles west of Brooklin on Highway No, 7. A pile of old tires, nearly 40 feet high, was being destroyed near an old gravel pit, Intense heat kept the crowd back.

ARTHUR LAING British Columbia Liberal Leader One of three new party leaders on the British Columbia political scene, Arthur Laing recently re- signed his federal seat to assume leadership of provincial Liberals. Mr. Laing was elected president of the B.C. Liberal Association in 1947 after taking a leading role in the young Liberal movement. Two years later he crossed swords with former - Liberal Premier Byron Johnson, leader of the coalition government, and resigned the pres- idency. He immediately switched to the federal field and was successful in his first bid for election in Van- couver South. He held that Seat until his resignation last month. An executive of a large feed and seed firm, Mr. Laing is a member of the Agricultural Institute of Can- ada. Born at Richmond, B.C. in 1904, he was elected secretary of the then Point Grey-Richmond Lib- eral Association before he was 21. Mr. Laing is married and has one daughter.

Called "The Phoenix", the book has every- thing that makes the school maga- zine wha! is is: a treasured and preserved bit of history. Although it is 30 years since this reviewer began looking at school magazines, "The Phoenix" strikes a familiar and nostalgic chord with back-cover advertisement of Neil- son's chocolate bars, altered not a whit over the years! Editor Pat Logeman and her as- sistant Bill Babe have done a good job. Included in the large staff are Bob Aldsworth whose photog- raphy 1llumines the pages and Vera Bruce who did the art work. This first issue 1s respectfully dedicated to a popular and beloved teacher, William LeRoi Dibbon, who died suddenly December 23, 1952. In the foreword of the book, is re- called the fact that CCI, Oshawa's newest collegiate, is located on the site of Bishop Bethune College, a private school for girls which was operated until the late 20's. Prominent places in the book are occupied by messages from Edward Broadbent, president of the Stu- dent Council and the principal, Harrison E. Murphy. Recorded are the academic and athletic achieve- ments of the past year including the Curling Club's outstanding win when it took the Dominion Cham- plonship at Saskatoon last Feb- ruary. The customary quota of poems and stories in the book include some with qualities of literary tal- ent which, if developed, will lead the writers into interesting careers. And not to be overlooked are the jokes incorporating funny class- room episodes which will be re- membered long after declensions and formulae have faded from the memory. § Publishing. a yearbook is a very expensive business for students to- day. When it is successfully ac- complished the staff must be con- gratulated not only upon their lit- erary effort but upon their business wizardry as well. \ Connaught Park To Plan Opening All persons in the Connaught Park Area are invited to attend a general meeting at the clubhouse on Tuesday, May 26, at 8 p.m, This meeting is very important, as plans for the opening and other events will take place through the summer must be taken care of im- mediately.

A letter from Mr. Bradley, re- garding the decision of the Pro- perty Committee against the com- pulsory check-off for new janitor employees is much regretted as this issue alone is retarding the other- wise amicable understanding be- tween janitor-employees and the Board of Education and is delaying the signing of the new agreement, requesting that this matter be again brought. to the attention of the board for further considera- tion at the next meeting.
