Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1965 --- PAGE 4 Way Open For Pearson To Bring Back Liberalism An opportunity for optimism toward the future governing of Canada has. been afforded by a prominent Canadian political anal- yst. Writing in The Vancouver Sun, Bruce Hutchison says that Prime Minister Pearson has a won- derful chance to assert his leader- ship and make effective display of personal strength and ability that is within him. ' ' The key to Mr. Pearson's great chance for a new image is the de- parture of his close personal friend, Finance Minister Walter Gordon, from the cabinét council, the veter- anh newspaperman suggests. Through his first administration the. prime minister is said to have let his friendship for Mr. Gordon prevail over policies advocated which were distasteful to him per- sonally. "In one way," writes Mr. Hutchi- son", the election result was a dis- guised blessing for him. Until now he has been weakened by the in- ward schizophrenia and split per- sonality of his cabinet. Always be- neath the surface it was a perpe- tual, nagging quarrel between the Gordon and anti-Gordon ministers painfully squeezed in a vise. "A break was bound to sooner or later and it came with Mr. Gordon's resignation, which temp- orarily distressed Mr. Pearson as a friend but relieved him of an almost insupportable burden as leader of the government. "When his brief ad- venture in politics collapsed, when the whole apparatus of brain-trust- ers, image makers and assorted gimmicks. lay in ruins, there was come amateur no place for Mr. Gordon to go but out." Mike Pearson and Walter Gordon weré political opposites, in the Hutchison view. The prime minister i a liberal and his friend a conser- vative who would have perhaps been more at home across the floor of the House. Champion of peace and believer in the free movement of goods, cap- ital, people and ideas, Mike Pear- son was the first western world statesman to realize the interdepen. dence of the North American com- munity and especially the: total in- terdependence of Canada and the United States. "As he conceived it, Canada's fu- ture must move in the broad stream »f humanity and could not be con- fined to. a narrow, inward-looking frightened nationalism... "Mr. Gordon, on the other hand," says Bruce Hutchison, 'was an ar- dent nationalist and patriot of the old school who felt with agonizing certainty that the foreign tide could not turn it back. Hence his tarifff protectionism which brought him into open breach with Mr. Sharp, his hostility to American capital, his horror off an American- owned press, his frequent cliashes with the American government, his unpopularity in London and finally his the Canadian electorate." Mr. Pearson has now chosen his new team from, it is hoped, men who think along the same lines as he does. With tension removed, Mr. Pearson has the opportunity to bring unanimity in purpose and ac- tion to the program of his govern- ent. misjudgment of On Camera! So What!

Under the circumstances there were probably proportionately a greater number of people involved in producing the program on Par- liament Hill than there were view- crowded expectantly around their sets at home. Scenes right out of movieland have been described. Television dominated the conference room leaving little room for the movie cameras and the for- ers cameras est. of microphones, and less for the endeavoring to get the momentous news of the ap- pointments. To the bedlam-like scene flocked backbenchers, party workers, exec- utive assistants, Commons employ- ees and groups apparently just touring the House of Commons. In no way does. this sideshow setting befit the importance and dignity merited by such an occasion. Had they wanted to "see it live" comparatively few Canadians were in a position to do it. The maze of paraphernalia handicapped the newsmen in their efforts to cover the cabinet announcements even reporters com- prehensively and quickly. The value of the question-and-answer period, which, after all, is a press confer- ence was largely lost. The whole expensive performance seemed an unnecessary encum- brance to the handling of news bor- dering harassment of those respon- sible for reporting it. By HAL BOYLE are bored with your present friends, there is an easy way to make more interesting ones, You do it with Christmas cards, Instead of sending them to people you know--a waste of penmanship at best--you send them to total strangers. To retain your sense of human adventure do this: Get a copy of "Who's Who" and send at alphabetical ran- dom a Christmas card to 100 people in 100 different towns and cities. Scribble the following note on each: "Dear Joe (or Jack or Pete or Algernon): "U'll never forget your kind- ness in lending me a heiping hand when I needed it, and now that I am in a position to return the favor I just want you to know that---well, I guess I don't have to say more." The chances are that by re- turn mai] you will get only 99 cards wishing you the best of health during the new. year. The 100th person will be out of town or dead or something None of the 99 who respond, of course, will know you at all. But you will have piqued their interest in two ways They will be flattered by the thought that they have done a good deed that their vanity doesn't remember, and they will cherish the idea that your undying gratitude will support them if they ever need help All people, including those listed in "Who's Who," like the romantic illusion they have a rich uncle from: Aus- tralia who may remember them in his will. This is your role--and you might as well play it to the hilt. PHOTOS TOO At the next yuletide they will send a greeting card io you with a warm message. They probably will include photos of their family Before long you will be ex- changing friendly gossipy. let- ters with them. They will com plain about their wives, their troubles with their children, their ailments. They will send you their stock market tips, and ask you to send them yours It doesn't have to remain a friendship by correspondence alone. If you travel about the country, you will always be a welcome guest in their home. They will wine you and dine you and think it a privilege to do so. Sooner or later, of course, a puzzled look will come across their face, and they will tact- fully try to question you about that great favor they did you in the past. You look them straight in the eye and reply: "Well, Joe, you may have forgotten--but I'll always member. Let's leave it at that. Shall we have another spot of your bourbon for auld lang syne -- and call it a night?"" You will leave them feeling they are nobler than they knew. You will have enriched their lives. And, of course, you won't have made your own life any poorer Yes, indeed. Why send Christmas cards to the bums you already know? Send them instead to total strangers and make some new and valuable lifelong friends. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Dec. 21, 1945 At the installation ceremony for Temple Lodge, AF and AM, No. 649, Very Wor.

None of these hold- ings were faxed. Gourlay called a convention of settlers at York, and aroused the enmity of the Governor and his executive council, known as the "Family Compact." One of them was Bishop Strachan whom Gourlay described as "a lying little fool of a renegade Presbyterian." This was too much, and probably would be today. However, the punish- ment was more than severe. On December 21, 1818, Gour- lay was arrested for sedition, thrown into jail, and kept there for many months in a small un- heated cell with no light or ven- tilation Bartimus Ferguson, the edi- tor of a newspaper in Niagara, who also campaigned against Tra ET land abuses, was sentenced to 18 months in prison. During the first month of his sentence he was sent to the pillory for an hour every day. When he was released he had to put up security worth 1,000 pounds to guarantee his 'good behavior" in the future.

Th groups, with the an- nounced aim of making Rhode- sia irffo a black - led country called Zimbabwe, are the Zim- babwe African National Union (ZANU) and the Zimbabwe Af- rican People's Union (ZAPU). Neither seems a threat to Pre-. mier Ian Smith's regime in Sal- isbury. ZAPU was formed in Rhode- sia in 1961 and claimed a mem- bership of 500,000 when its rec- ords were confiscated the fol- lowing year. ; ZANU split from ZAPU in Au- gust, 1963,.and was banned by the Salisbury government one Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole, and some of their top aides are be- ing held in Rhodesian detention camps. 'ZANU LACKS SUPPORT' ZAPU Vice-President James Chikerema has criticized ZANU as an "'oligarchic movement run by intellectuals'? and lacking grassroots. support in Rhodesia. ZANU's Lusaka office manager, Percy Ntine, shrugs off Chike- rema's comment, The Organization of African Unity has made several at- tempts to heal the breach be- tween the two movements. ZAPU Publicity Director George Sclundika said: "Our emphasis is on complete non-co- operation with the enemy. First we want to bring Rhodesia's rural areas to a standstill and then convince the Africans to withdraw from the Rhodesian police force.' He estimated Rhodesia's work- ing population at 700,000 and said the revolutionaries' major problem was that only 250,000 of these_are Rhodesian Negroes. "Another 250,000 of these come BIBLE But let. your communications he Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for watsonever is more than these ecmeth of evil.--*'tatthew 5:57 The simple statement is usual ly best.

'EFFECT IS LIMITED' "Our strike weapon is there- fore very limited," Silundika said "Guerrilla warfare is the next phase in the revolution. It might come tomorrow or it might come next year. We must be able to meet force with force and this is the direction in which sve are working." There are hints that Jan Smith's security operatives have infiltrated both revolutionary movements and eliminated their capability to accomplish any- thing by minor harassment. Zambia's welcome for Rhode- sia's "freedom fighters" is luke- warm at best. President Ken- neth Kaunda was disappointed when they did not march into Rhodesia after it declared inde- pendence, and begin guerrilla activities. Zambia's government radio 'station broadcasts two programs daily of ZAPU propaganda into Rhodesia in that country's two main vernacular languages-- Shona and Sindebelc. Gun-running from Tanzania to Rhodesia is usually winked at in Zambia, although several Af- ricans have been arrested by this country's police.

CORNELL Associated Press Religion Write For the wanderer, the furni- ture of existence becomes blurred. Nothing is fixed, noth- ing steady, There are no com- * forting landmarks, no regular reminders, no settled frame of reference. Without. a familiar place, no step is sure. As refugees from mass slaughter, a displaced Jewish family of old walked that va- grant route in Egypt. It was a foreshadowing lot for the couple, the child, and ensuing genera- tions. "Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head,"' This was the chancy, insecure environment in which Jesus en- tered, and experienced, the world--starting as a_ ragged toddler in the arms of a no- madic family in flight from despotism and carnage. The months, probably more than a year, in Egypt make up a nebulous interlude, a veiled segment of his upbringing. It was a restless, groping ordeal, its impressions like those of all homeless people in search of sanctuary--the dim, alien landscape, always shifting, a sort of revolving haze, remote and monotonous, yet constantly in motion, That is the kind of indistinct, unstable trail left by the fugi- tive family of Jesus in North Africa, continually moving from one uncertain spot to another, with strangeness all about; and no roof or ground to call their own, PROVIDE DETAILS Although scripture tells hardly anything about that episode, other accounts going far back into antiquity indicate some of its features. Over the road they followed, it is about 250 miles from Beth- ehem to the Nile Valley, going through Hebron and the pagan port of Gaza, teeming with sailors, scent-sellers and slave trade, and thence on across the desert of the Sinai Peninsula. They had a donkey and took turns riding it, holding the in- fant, At one point, legend says, the girth broke, dropping riders into the dust. : A broiling sun beat on them by day, a piercing chill at night, They nibbled from a sack of corn and dried bread, rationing the contents of their waterskin from oasis to oasis. Tradition cites stops they made on the way, in a cave, beside a spring, beneath some palm trees which yielded dates for a meal, Wolves prowled their campsites. Along one midnight stretch of road, they are said to have passed through a sleeping gang of bandits. A fookout, named Titus, urged his partner: "Let those persons go quietly that our company may not perceive anything of them." But the other, Du- machus, wanted to rob them. Titus, taking coins from his girdle, bribed him to let them go on. 4 They went through Goshen and came eventually to the delta, that river-silted "black land" of Upper Egypt, hemmed in by the red rolling sands of desert, a region of inundation and drought, of 'fertility and famine. Joseph Encountered Difficulty As Woodworker Heliopolis,'centre of pantheis- tic cults and the lavish temple of the sun-god, Re, apparently became the main locale for the footsore migrants. Situated just northeast of modern Cairo, it now is called Matarich, and is dotted with shrines marking the passage of Joseph and his family--the syc- amore free where they rested, a spring where Mary bathed her child and washed their clothing. As a woodworker, Joseph had trouble finding work, since in that almost treeless, rainless land, firm wood is scarce. Be- sides that particular handicap, there were everywhere more workers than work--the number- less Fellaheen. But it is said he eventually got employment for a_ time building coffins for a burying ground at Deir el Muharrak. According to stories . circu- lated in that ancient land for nearly 2,000 years, the family moved about a great deal, to various towns, living sometimes alone, sometimes' with others, in hovels and mansions, once with a kindly widow, once with a wealthy benefactor named El- eazar. 3 The scene about them was the once powerful kingdom of the Pharaohs, which by then had become a vassal province of Rome, following Cleopatra's loss of her throne and suicide about 27 years earlier on Anth- ony's defeat at Actium. WORSHIPPED IDOLS But the atmosphere remained Egyptian--the animal idols, the elaborate processions for "sacred bulls,' the incanta- tions, clattering chariots, magi- cians, oracles, the corps of per- fumed temple women. A man could buy a waxen im- age to protect himself from bites of snakes and scorpions, or to put a hex on an enemy. But it also was a time of in- tellectual richness at Alexan- dria, the Roman - built coastal city, where the great Jewish philosopher, Philo, was develop- ing his teachings about the 'logos"--the divine intermedi- ary among men, revealing God. That concept ultimately would Finding Job be applied to the then ignored unknown child - in - exile, Jesus. Writes St. John: "And the word (logos) became flesh and dwelt among us." In these environs, Jesus grew active, his wobbly legs gaining strength and balance. An an- cient Coptic tale offers this de- scription of him and his mother: "She used to take hold of his hand and lead him along the roads, saying, 'My: sweet son, walk a little ways', ... He stopped from time to time, hanging on the skirts of Mary, his mother. . . . He would lift up his eyes to her face, and she would catch him up to herself . and lift him up in her arms, and walk along with him," FISHED IN OASIS Other ancient stories pictured him fishing in an oasis, laugh- ing at some quarrelling spar- rows, his mother walking through the city marketplace, the family sailing the Nile in a tall-masted boat, a falluka. The traditions give basically plausible background. Some of them suggest that Joseph, a widower with four sons and two daughters before he wed Mary, had a younger son and daughter with him, whom Mary cared for along with Jesus, Accounts vary on how long the family stayed there, a year, three years, five years, but there are scenes of summer and winter, of tranquillity and dark- ening dust storms. Some stories say Jesus was seven before leaving Egypt; the prevailing evidence is that he was past three. In any case, Joseph learned that Herod the Great, the tyrant who sought to kill the boy, was dead. Joseph took his family and started back toward Israel, again crossing that wilderness where Moses, leading the exodus from Egyptian bondage, had passed through darkness, cloud and fog to meet God and his commandments. Through similar obscuring mists came his further revela- tion, as foretold in prophecy: "Out of Egypt have I called my son," Is Pleased Interest On 6% RISTMAS OURS: POUNTAINMEA OF SeAvicE Announcement Central Ontario Trust Now To Be Paid 1 to & Years Also Interest Rate Increase 1/4 to 44% On Shorter Terms , OPEN THURSDAY 'TIL 9 P.M, CENTRAL ONTARIO TRUST & SAVINGS CORPORATION 0 Oshawa -- 19 Simeoe St. Bowmanville 23 King St. W. 623-2527 to Announce G.1.C.'s FRIDAY 'TIL S$ P.M.
