They spent the summer's last holiday week-end relaxing at home, thronging to trade union picnics, parades, sports events or summer resorts. Heaviest tourist traffic in the country jammed highways leading to Toronto and the Canadian National Exhibition. Many Canadian and United States motorists slept in auto- mobiles beside the roadside. Percy R. Bengough head of the®- Trades and Labor Congress, told workers at the big fair that the trade union movement does not foster Communism. He said the best defence against Communism is "to see that democracy operates in the best interests of all citizens." A. R. Mosher, President of the Canadian Congress of Labor, plead- ed for unity in labor ranks. Thousands of Montrealers at- tended sports events while some 2,000 workers paraded at Valley- field, Que., and 5,000 in Quebec City. Winnipeg's beaches and golf course= were crowded. About 5,000 workers attended a Winnipeg Labor Day picnic. Calgarians watched the Webster Trophy air show finals, a soap box derby, model auto races and the Alberta golf open. Sixty buses drove 6,000 Halifax stevedores and their families' to a mass picnic at. Mount Uniacke, 18 miles from the city. : At Windsor the international bridge and the tunnel to Detroit were packed with Canadians cross- ing to hear President Truman speak at Detroit. In Windsor itself the Fire Fighters Association staged its 19th annual field day. Almost 40,000 "people lined the streets to see a rade with 50 floats. Thousands of Oftawa civil ser- " "wyants took advantage of the last holiday before they resume their six-day weekly schedule, suspended during the summer months. A mile-long parade' of T. L. C. members at Cornwall, Ont., included three bands and dozens of floats. Hubert M. G.

At 48, he hag a record .of success in a series of highly responsible jobs. A tall, dour figure, with a high-domed forehead, his quiet manner cloaks a strong personality which has brought him to the top in British counsels during the last five or six years. He is that rare combination of a brilliant "ideas man" and a tal- ented organizer. He combines also a solid intellectual background with keen interest in most forms of sport. At Magdalen College, Ox- ford, where he completed an educa- tion begun at Eton, he made, a mark as a history scholar. In London Jebb has a Mayfair home, but his domestic interests are centred in a fine old Georgian house on the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk. There live his wife, son and two daughters.

Church Could ChangeTrend World Affairs "If the church would take Chris- tianization seriously, it could change the trend of world affairs," declared Dr. E. Lamont Geissinger of Chicago in his address at Albert Street United Church on Sunday night. : Speaking on the theme, "Our Christian Witness in Today's World", Dr. Geissinger said the world is today faced with two alter- natives--chaos or peace. If indi- vidual Christians would give them- selves, their time, talents and pos- | sessions to Cod's work the world would be a much better place in which to live. : "Today the Christian's conscience says that his sins have found him out and we are in the hands of God. Though we muddled our way in we are not going to muddle our way out. If we do get out we will have to discard the spiritual and moral maps we have used hereto- fore," Dr. Geissinger declared. Rev. E, Donovan Jones, minister 'of Albert Street United Church, conducted the service.

A country-wide Canadian Pre of males to choose from as sever: centres report smaller expected en rolments. The smaller student bodies will result mainly from graduation of veterans. Many uni- versities report new courses but no worries about insufficieng teaching staffs. Married students, especially those with children, will have the toughest time finding accommoda- tion. But women, too, will have some difficulty as landlords are said to favor men when renting rooms or apartments. Special drives are being made by student ad- ministrations in various cities to find a home for the scholars--but all report difficulty.

Will Israel modify its ever-grow ing claims? Just now they includ, all territory conquered by groups beside all territory allocatecy under the United Nations partition decision of last November. The Israelis want to bar permanently hundreds of thousands of Arab D.P.'s from returning to their an- cestral homes, some of which now are being demolished.

The total invasion force five Arab states in May was than 30000. Israel mobilized ap- proximately 70,000 fighting men and women, of whom more than 20,000 had training in the British army. It was an ironical experience to be with the Arab forces at the front and hear of distant boasts that a crescent of steel was being forged around Tel Aviv. The Legion waged only a holding action at Latrun. The projected joint. flank of Egypt and Trans-Jordan forces southeast of Tel Aviv always hung naked in the air.
