Mr. Martin, member of Par- liament for Essex East, told a party nominating convention in Toronto Davenport riding that Mr. Harkness's statement in Ottawa earlier Monday shows the minister is in deep disa- greement with the government's defence policy.

CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1133 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 HOSPITAL 723-2211 'AND MILES TO GO BEFORE I SLEEP' BOSTON (AP)--Robert Frost, 88, uncrowned poet laureate of bon United States, died early to- ay. ' His physician, Dr. Roger B. Hicklern said death probably was due to a pulmonary embo- lism (a lung blood clot). A spokesman at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital said he was Pronounced dead at 1:50 a.m. EST shortly after complaining, of chest pains and a shortness of breath. The four-time Pulitzer Prize winner entered the hospital Dec. 3 and underwent an opera- tion seven days later for re- moval of a urinary obstruction. Subsequently he had a heart at- tack and blood clots settled in his lungs. The rugged, non - conforming onetime mill worker lived to win acclaim accorded to few poets in U.S. history. Toward the end of his life, the white - thatched crinkly - eyed dean of American poetry re- marked: Aged US. "I dont call myself a poet yet. It's for the world to say whether you are a poet or not." Musing on the fact that more than 1,000,000 copies of his work were in print, he commented: "I wish my grandfather had known about that million. He'd think that meant a lot of work. He always felt I was lazy." The last line of many a Frost poem carried an impact that left the reader thinking long afterward. He wrote of trees-- watching them sway in the wind, and of bearing them for- ever talk of going away. "Some day-" he commented in his clos- ing lines '". . . I shall have less to say, but I shall be gone." A singular tribute was paid him by President Kennedy, who asked Frost to recite one of his works at the inauguration Jan. 20, 1961. RETURNS FAMOUS Strangely enough, Frost went unrecognized in his native land until he moved to England for @ time. The English hailed his Poet Dies first book of poems and Frost returned to the United States in 1915 to find himself famous. He sold his first poem for $20 at the age of 20. In time he became one of the few poets to make a living solely from his works. Frost was born in San Fran- cisco, the son of a newspaper] editor who died when Frost was ll. He was a sickly child. As a result, he spent more time out of school than in. "They didn't educate me when I was young--the doctor said I was delicate and wouldn't live long," Frost once re- marked, STATES HIS VIEWS On his father's death, Frost and his mother went to New England, the bome of his pa- terns! ancestors. There he re- mained to become first farmer, then a teacher and finally a world-renowned poet. Once recently he was re- quested to state his views on the future, of mankind, in the light of dreadful modern weap- ons, Frost replied it wasn't pos- sible to bomb the human race out of existence. "We are inexterminable, like flies and bedbugs," he said. On his 85th birthday he up- held poetry over science. 'You can say this: Science can't be scientific about poetry, but po- etry can be poetical about sci- ence. One is larger, more in- clusive, isn't it?" One passage of his poetry re- garded highly by many of his followers is from "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening:" "The woods are lovely, dark and deep, "But I have promises to keep, "And miles to go before I sleep, "And miles to go before I sleep."
