Gillies Scott St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Bowmanville There is a feeling of expectancy in the air today, We are living under ten- sion, and waiting for something to hap- pen to relieve that tension, We ques- tion the meaning of all that is taking place in the world, and the tragic note in that questioning is producing trou- bled minds and hearts, To many the world is bitter, for there is much sav- agery and cruelty abroad in a suppos- edly enlightened age, and the absence of signs of betterment is the cause of much despair. We are all looking for something, waiting--statesmen, scientists, teachers, church leaders, and ordinary folk like you and me, Is that expected something to be a great cataclysm? Is it to be a continuation of the old, old, struggle, the survival of the fittest or strongest, with all the rewards going to the selfish and self-assertive? God manifested Himself. "The Word was made flesh and' dwelt among us . « . full of grace and truth." It was in love that the manifestation came, and we must recognize that truth today, even if it is a different world, made so by the powers inherent in the ad- vances of science and invention, for we are finding that the misuse of these powers for selfish and man-made pur- poses is menacing peace and tranquil- ity. The world is waiting for people to live as the sons of God, for this age requires God in human lives, to reveal His grace and truth, waiting for peo- ple who are God's instruments, The nen who. long ago beheld God's glory in Jesus Christ, became new men, re- flecting something of His spirit. The world is in dire need of that sort of manifestation by us in a showing forth of the grace of God in service and sac- rifice, in forgiveness, and in the ac- ceptance of the power of Jesus Christ We have to remember that in just such a critical and disbelieving a time long ago, decadent and soul-weary, Newspapers The role that newspapers play in bringing about the arrest of wanted criminals was in the limelight at a To- ronto press conference in the office of Attorney-General Kelso Roberts, the Sudbury Star observes. The occasion was the presentation of $1500 to the Ontario Provincial Police Benevolent Fund by the Canadian Bankers' Asso- ciation, It was in recognition of the po- lice work done in connection with the murder of a Blind River bank mana- ger during a hold-up attempt last year. There was much criticism at the time of the manner in which the two wanted in human life, seeing in that acceptance a new meaning and purpose in human affairs. And Crime men slipped through the police cordon with a number of stolen cars. Police lost track of them after a hold-up of a Tim- mins store and the boarding of a train. When police finally released the pic- tures and names of the wanted men they were well out of the area, Tt was a Saskatchewan farmer who identified the father and son from pictures pub- lished in the newspaper serving the farming community, He notified police who arrested them and brought the pair back to Ontario for trial at Sault Ste.

Other Editor's Views GIVE AWAY SAVINGS (Edmonton Journal) According to the Royal Bank Maga- zine some banks in Florida are trying to stimulate savings by "give-aways." One bank offers a nylon umbrella to anyone opening an account for $100 er more, Another offers a set of highball glasses, still another, an illuminated clock. It might be observed that some trust and savings companies in Canada and the U.S. are following a similar practice, Of much more value to the saver than a. merchandise gife would be an ironclad guarantee that the rate of in- flation would net gnaw sway the val- ue of his savings. Correspondent For The Times LONDON -- With Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker"s European tour . completed, British political ob- servers and commentators are assessing the qualities of Mr, Diefenbaker and the impact of his ideas on the countries he has visited, It is interesting to note that they are paying much more attention to the talks which he had with General de Gaulle and Chancellor Adenaur than they did to his discussions with Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. In England, little publicity was given to hese talks, Much more has been reported about the talks with the heads of the French and German governments. The im- pression has heen created that Mr. Diefenbaker has b a key figure in the discussions about NATQ reorganization. I talked with one very shrewd political reporter who went along with Mr, Diefenbaker to France and Germany. He had been very much impressed by the prime minister's approach to inter- Ith prob- lems. He had this to say: DONE GOOD JOB "Last spring, in your general Diefenbak election, Mr, sold offered a wage increase Canada to the Canadians. On this tour, in Britain, he has concen- trated on selling the Common- wealth to the British people. In France and Germany, he has been trying to sell the principle of unity to the NATO countries. Your prime minister has blossom- ed out as something between a missionary and a super-salesman, and he has done a good job as 'Since the European tour ended, one becomes more and more ¢on- vinced that the impression made by Mr. Diefenbaker on the coun- tries visited has been very strong. As I watched him and noted his statements on the tour, I felt that he was gathering in confidence and power as he went along, and by the time he left for Italy, he had accomplished exactly what he set out to do. He had gained a .very clear understanding of the problems confronting the NATO countries and the European free trade area. COAL INDUSTRY TROUBLES Rejection by the coal miners of the wage increase offer made by the National Coal Board has in- tensified the difficulties of a board already in serious trouble. The board, faced with huge stocks of coal it cannot sell at the OTTAWA REPORT Gift Of 2 Sheep From Tribesmen By PATRICK NICHOLSON You have been given two moun- tain sheep as a 'thank you' ges ture by the impoverished tribes. men of the distant Khyber Pass. Unfortunately, Finance Minister Flemi who ted these r ad Ly sheep on behalf of the taxpayers of Canada, could not make ai- rangements to bring them back to you. Nor does he number along his undoubted qualities the bib- lical ability to feed the Canadian multitude with two small sheep. S80 he graciously Invited the tribesmen to roast the sheep whole, and to invite their vil- lagers to enjoy a feast as guests of Canada. But that little episode makes a heart-warming story. It is good to know that the aid which we have given to that rugged north- ern corner of Pakistan is ap- preciated there; it is good to know that those undernourished and underprivileged recipients of our aid are aware that the benefits are coming to them from their fellow Commonwealth cit- izens in Canada. GUNS ALONG THE KHYBER In our boyhood every one of us read poems or stories or comic strips about the shoot-at-sight turbaned Pathans, lurking men- acingly behind the boulders fring- ing the historic Khyber Pass. But. today, all that is being changed, thanks to Canada. The barren valleys and sterile hills which could not sustain life are being converted into well watered farmlands by the giant Warsak Dam. Three hundred Canadian technicians are super- vising its construction; the work is being performed by 10,000 men of the surrounding tribes, who now are enjoying regular wages for the first time in history. When the $36,000,000 dam is com- pleted next year, it will irrigate 120,000 acres of land, and will also supply 240,000 kilowatts of hydro-electric power, Then the tribesmen will be able to work for a good living, instead of fight- ing for a mere subsistence. The Warsak Dam is the most impressive and imaginative cf our gifts under the Colombo Plan, to help underdeveloped Common- wealth sister-nations in South and Southeast Asia. OTHER GIFTS Other. gifts by Canada include an experimental atomic reactor now being erected at Trombay, in India. Then there is our gen. eral training program of giving technical know-how to those people who had none, training courses in Canada, or through technical schools in their own countries which are equipped and staffed from Canada. In the seven years since the Colombo Plan was luanched, we have aided 600,000,000 of our fel- low men, to the not overgemer- ous total of 30 cents per, person for a total of $190,000,000, This was criticized in Parliament two years ago as being the equivalent of only two cigarets per Cana- dian per year. SEE-ALL TOUR Finance Minister Fleming has just returned from a tour which he describes as "Around the World in 48 Days" --somewhat quicker than the 80 days taken by the clown Cantinflas in the film directed by the late Mike Todd; but then Mr. Fleming did not have to rely on improvisa- tions in his 85,000 mile journey-- he made it in 28 separate hops on scheduled airliners. During his travels, Mr. Flem- ing officially received Princess Margaret at the Canadian Pavil- ion at the Brussels World Fair; attended as governor the meet- ings of the World Bank and Monetary Fund in India; in- spected Canada's contributions under the Colombo Plan; and talked trade in Japan. He avoided the incommoding scourge of Western man in the Orient, yet lost nine pounds off his stocky 176-pound, 5-foot-8 frame. And now, with blue eyes glittering with enth he re- of 7/6 a week, with certain con. ditions attached, These conditions called for a nine months' pay standstill for 275,000 piece work- ers, resumption of Saturday work in selected pits and special meas- urers to increase efficiency. The miners' union would have none of these conditions. They were willing to accept the pay in- crease offered, but with no con. ditions attached. The dispute has joy hits Xs erred to the indus- ation board, for de- cision. Meanwhile, the National Coal Board is operating at a consider- able deficit, it has some 50,000,000 tons of coal in stockpiles, and has almost reached the limit of its statutory borrowing powers, £70,000,000. To meet the wages in- crease of 7/6 a week even with the conditions attached, would cost it between eight and nine million pounds more a year. SHARES BY INSTALMENTS Buying Jf stock and shares on the exchange by instalments is the latest move to interest the public in investing in British in- dustry, The finance company of Bo- waters, in which Lloyd's has a 25 per cent industry, has launched a scheme to enable the public to buy shares on a 25 per cent down payment plan. : The balance of 75 per cent of the cost of the shares, plus the usual brokerage charges, will be spread over two years, in 24 equal monthly instalments. The minimum loan is £100 and the maximum is £1000. Interest will be at the rate of five per cent on the amount advanced. The shares to be bought must be approved by the company to qualify for a loan, This drastic move is being warmly applauded, in that it will enable people of modest means but regular income to become in vestors in British securities. The key factor in it is that instead of providing for people assumng higher purchase debt, it is a scheme to stimulate higher pur- chase savings. And in some quar- ters it has been described as an excellent plan to turn people against socialist ideas, since workers with their money invest- ed in industry would not welcome any move to nationalization. CENSORING POSTERS Disturbed by a spate of lurid posters advertising horror and sex films, the official society of British cinemas has set up a five man committee to censor all film posters. Robert Camplin, secre- tary of the Kinematograph Rent- ers' Society, says "Our aim is to achieve a situation in which no poster offends any member of the public, but no one knows how we can manage to do it." Some really lurid posters have appeared in recent weeks, depict. ing such things as faceless men, huge spiders drinking the blood of half-naked girls, and men hav- ing their heads chopped off by Japanese soldiers. The idea behind the move is that any members of the society can submit to the committee for censorship any poster which they feel might be offensive or in bad taste, counts enthusiastically what he saw that our money and friend- ship are achieving in that im- portant part of the world contain- ing the most populous part of the Commonwealth, "Canada's lead in calling the Commonwealth conference here this fall has cemented the broth. erly feelings among the Common- wealth countries,' he says. 'Never in history has there been a group of nations with so much diversity within it, yet this par- adox of modern times enjoys a unique feeling of togetherness." Prime Minister Diefenbaker's government is giving a strong lead in putting real meaning into the two significant words "com- mon wealth." With no axe to grind, Canada is accepted in the important continent of Asia as no other Western nation can be ac- cepted, We have not got the big armies or stockpiles of atomic bombs, but this is perhaps ex- actly why we can play the most significant role in the intensify- ing cold war for man's mind and man's freedom in that ares.
