Fhe Osho Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. §,, Oshawa, Ont, Pegs 6 Wednesday, December 24, 1958 A CHRISTMAS EDITORIAL Bethlehem's Star Still Symbol Of Divine Faith (The following editorial en the Christmas theme was contributed by Loyal Phillips of the St, Petersburg, (Fla) Independent.) Today, as we observe Christ's birth, the entire world is beset by war ten- sons, and mankind is frightened as he stands on the threshold of the fantastic Ppace Age. New man-made stars whirl through the heavens, and people of many na=- tions tremble at the thought of missile warfare triggered by electronic switch- os and beamed from across the seas, Strange instrument-carrying objects approach the speed of light as they en elrele the earth, sending back messages from the unexplored outer space Today man is making his own stars from chunks of metal which he shoots out into space, Today man stands, as he stood 1058 years ago, at the doorway of a vast re- velation, This time man's own stars are charting our course, They promise to push back space frontiers and widen man's domajn in the universe Intellectual horizons will expand as bold voyagers of space land on the moon, Alp travel and radio communi cations will improve as a result of our explorations of the stratosphere area with rockets and satellites, Never since the birth of Jesus has man been offered so great an opportunity However, the miracles of our atomie laboratories have brought fear Instead of falth---demalr Instead of courage When Jesus was born according St. Matthew, the Wis en came Bethlehem to see the Saviour, And a star "went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was," God placed the star in the sky to guide them to the wonder and glory and mystery of the long-awaited event, On this our Saviour's birthday, we sorely need the angel's assurance, "Re not afraid." We also need wise men to point out for us the world of difference between God's creations and mere man's inventions, Wise men of 1058 will recognize the sputnik satellites for what they are ---- man-made gadgets aimlessly circling in space, Unlike the Star of Bethlehem which pointed the way to the Christ Child, the sputndk circles and circles, until one day it will quietly slip into the earth's atmosphere and disintegrate, It is interesting to observe that the Star of Bethlehem first lighted the sky over a world similar in many respects to the world of today. Strong rulers contended for thrones, and ordinery people were treated as pawns, The difference is that today we have a choice -- a cholce between being blown to bits by flying nuclear war- heads or following the Child's Star to to the manger, Through the centuries which have rolled by since the Star appeared In the East, through the tue mult and the tryranny, despite the foolish men who refused to recognize the Saviour, the light of the magic Star has never been obscured, ; No missile that we or the Russians ean ever fire into Interplanetary space ean have one-millionth the power that the Star of Hope and Love has had during the centuries since it first ap- peared, Through the years it has re- mained a symbol of God's promise that men of good will may still have the peace and the abundant life which the, Saviour promised to all who will fol. low him, The Star of Bethlehem still remains the same symbol of hope that it has always been, Whatever man may do with his infinitesimal gnats-in-the-sky, he will still be without peace and with= out hope unless he believes the teach ings of the Leader whose birth we com= memorate today, Faced as we are today with International conflict and possible atomic destruction, we need more than ever to follow the Disciple of Peace, But the end is not yet, Man's plots and plans are brief and futile even when concelved In the Kremlin, in Pelping, or in the test tubes of our own atomic laboratories, International aggressors and their scientists will de« part and little that they do will leave an impression on the sands of times All that endures is the Divine Pure rose, which 1s as firm today and as une hanged as it was 10568 years ago when the first Christmas Day dawned on the hills of Bethlehem Today, in spite of International ture moll, in spite of the explosions In Si berlin and at Canaveral, mankind has Christmas which stands forever as an eternal guarantee of the divinity of the Christ Child and the Invinelbility of the Christian hope, Just as the Herods and Pilates were powerless to crucify an ideal, the cyn= jes and would-be conquerors of today must glve way to the Divine promise of universal good will and brotherhood ~=a promise which the Saviour came to fulfill, When all men can recognize the light of love and truth, and feel the humility that shone on a forsaken stable, then men will live in universal peace, and real brggherhood will become a realty among all people everywhere So, in a spirit of humility, gratitude and hope, we wish for our readers genuine happiness during these golden moments, and that family love and good cheer will transform your worka- day house into a palace of Christmas enchantment A MERRY CHRISTMAS! in Cairo Safety On Highways Five pointers on the Holidays on the Highways" are be- ing suggested by the American Associa« "How to Burvive. tion of Motor Vehicle Administrators, We pass them on to our readers, They need no comment, 1, Obey all traffic regulations, and particularly speed laws, You don't have to go the limit, Casualties drop when the mpeed does, : 2.

Eighth Land Grab § By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA A rueful history of our "might-haveheens' could be based upon the consequences of the expansionist ambitions of the United States over the past 175 yoars, Eight major land - grabs ave heen attempted at our ex- pense during that time, We have successfully repulsed three, and are now launching our overdue but determined drive to repulse the eighth, This series of attempts to snatch territory, which Canada could justly claim, began with the boundary settlements for the revolting colonies In 1783, when the British Government was un- duly generous At. our expense, Then and In subsequent grabs, we lobt the Maine Wedge, Lord Solkirk's Red River Valley in great part, the Pacific northwest area now Oregon, and Alaska, especially the panhandle, By the war of 1812 we repulsed the Am- ericans' economic pressure to take over southwestern Ontario, In the 1880s we held out against thelr covetous aims in the south- ern prairies, And In the 1940s we outmanoeuvred the powerful lobby to make Newfoundland the 40th State, And now we must defend our Arctie Islands, For ltorally centuries, it was assumed that the title to that then-unwanted area of the globe was vested in Britain by right of discovery, Most of that real es- tate, known as Rupert's Land, was owned by the Hudson's Bay Company. Two years after Con. federation, Britain transferred H- tle to the new Dominion; and Canada bought owt "The Bay" for a paltry $1,500,000, in what history may prove to have heen the alltime best real-estate bar gain, "A FEW ACRES OF SNOW" Then for 80 years, "our' Are. te was little regarded, except as the scene of international expedi- tions with the flavor of sporting contests, and as the site of her ole deeds by a handful of scarlet coated dog-sled drivers, When the eyes of other nations recently began to turn towards the Islands in the Arctic basin, it became evident that half a mil lon square miles of real estate could not he 'effectively oetu- pled" hy a mere score of repre sentatives of our law and wel fare. Yet such occupation was es. sential in international law te reserve our sovereignty over oh great northern empire, Our government uncomfortably. rec- ognized this fact, but did little to meet the need for positive action, The responsible minister told Parliament 1a 1080 that "develo ment in the Canadian North ia expanding steadily, In those far northern settlements, ploneering ia not Just a legend, but a living reality." At that time, the more substan. tial "living reality" on the Rus alan side of the North Pole con. sisted of a population larger than that of our most populous prov. ince, all living north of Edmon- ton, and mostly in half a hun dred cities each with more than 50.000 inhabitants, including the capital of Moscow, Our largest community in the same high lat tudes 1s Whitehorse, with a pop- ulation of 5,000 Our governent had not even compiled accurate maps of our Arctle archipelago, let alone car- ried out geophysical and other surveys, Often the captains of Canadian ships had to rely on Russian charts, When the minist ers of the new Diefenbaker cab inet moved Into their departs ments last vear, they found there maps of Canada which did not even show two islands, in the heart of our Arctio, with an area larger than PEL Had an air borne Russian expedition landed those islands and claimed them, they. would have had strong grounds under interna tional law, But the summer of 1058 will sland sut ln eur history. ee the on time when Prime Minister Dief. enbaker energetically launched our first campaign to establish our sovereignty over "our Are. tie, and to harness the Immense natural riches awaiting us there, The steps Initiated Included a complete aerial photographic survey, as the foundation for the preparation of accurate maps; a geophysical survey to guide pros. pectors; and a survey of the coastline and continental shelf along the significant northwest border of the islands, where Rus- slan and American scientists have long been working on the slowly-moving Ice islands, The most spectacular step to declare our sovereignty was the invasion of the Arctic for the first time by a sizeable Canadian force, consisting of 180 ships rheaded by Second ar landing craft and by an borpe army of 1,000 stevedores, Thus our department of transport undertook the annual supply lift for all the American-manned de: fence posts In our Arctic, ship ping In 77,000 tons of food, fuel and bullding supplies, at a cost estimated at only one-third of the price previously d by the Am- oricans for that lifeblood supply.

December, I planted a dozen rose bushes in my garden, That spells out the difference in the gardening seasons here and In Oshawa, These bushes were or. dered from the nursery a couple of months ago, and when the end of November came. near, 1 had given up hope of receiving them, However, on consulting the nurseryman, I was assu that it was perfectly all right to plant them any time up to the end of the year, Now they have arrived, and they are in the ground, For the beneMt of my hortl. cultural friends In Oshawa, I may say that the popular varieties of roses grown over here are very much the same as In Canada, Among the varieties I have plant. ed are some I had In my Oshawa garden, Including Peace, Crimson Glory, Mojave, Grandmere Jen. ny, Teigane, Virgo, Ena Hark. ness, Karl Herbert, Sutter's Gold, MecCreedy's Yellow, and two that were new to me, Queen Eliza. beth, a gorgeous white rose, and Violnista de Costa, . ROSES STILL BLOOM As Indicating the differences in the nature of the seasons here and in Canada, is the fact that In a garden at the corner of our street In Stanmore, a bush of Peace roses is blooming profuse ly, with five magnificent blooms on one stem, Next to It are some blooms of Crimson Glory, In my own garden, a red polyanthus is still in bloom, and there are some five yellow. chrysanthe- mums giving a touch of color, There has beef nothing much in the way of frost as yet, only & couple of nights with some Hght white frost, not sufficiently severe to damage the roses and 'mums. But new buds are already showing an my rhododendrons and lilac, and a forsythia bush looks as If it might burst into flower at any time, NO WINTER YET As yet, in our area, there has been no winter weather as we know It; no sign of snow or below freezing temperatures, But we have been bedevilled by one of the great curses of London in Be last twe menths of tha vear a succession of thick fogs. They were almost continuous during the whole month of November, anc have lingered Into the pres. ent month, A London fog has to be seen to he believed, Some mornings and evenings, it was not possible to soe pix feet from our windows, A great greyish white pall seemed to be pressing itself against the window panes, shutting out the light, To go outdoors meant grop- ing along as If in the dark. And worse still, there was a choking sensation every time one drew a breath, Rain, of which there has been very little, would have been a welcome change from that dank blanket which made condi tions utterly miserable, WHITRY VISITOR We have this weekend had a welcome and interesting visitor from Holland, a friend of Oshawa days. She was Miss Luce Tuennis son, formerly of the staff of the Ontario Hospital, Whitby, where she was a nurse. In August of this year, she returned to Ame sterdam, Holland, from Whitby, to take a special course In publie health nursing, which will keep her there for a year. Then she plans to return to Ontario, and has her passage by air hooked for August of 1080, She flew over from Amsterdam on Friday afternoon, and spent the weekend at our home, We spent Saturday evening on top of a bus, viewing the decorations and illuminations which have been Jut up in London's west end for Christmas, Then on Sunday, we went into the city and visited Trafalgar Square, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and St, Paul's Cathedral, and finished up with tea in a cosy restaurant on Piccadilly Circus,' This morning we had to be up at six o'clock so that she could get to London ain port and catch an early plane back to her studies, Her visit was a welcome inter lude at this time of the year when visitors from overseas are few and far between. We have many mutual friends In Oshawa and Whitby, and spent many hours talking over the happy times we had spent there. And that made us realize how much we are going to miss all these old friends at the coming Christe mae sahson. - "GALLUP POLL OF CANADA First Decrease Shown Canadian Alcohol Use By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION A smaller of adult population today drinks alcoholic beverages than did so & couple of years ago, While it may seem hard to believe in this season of Chridtmas. partying, there Is evidence that Canadians, lke their American cousins, have passed a peak In alcoholic eon. sumption, and tumed downward again, . * Ever since 1043 when the Gal- lup Poll both in Canada and in the United States has been re cording the proportion of the population which enjoys aleohol, Canadian figures have been climbing.

These children, because of their age, religion, racial origin or slight physical handicap have yet to find the permanent homes they need. While the demand for infants far exceeds the number of children available for adoption, it is not easy to find homes for these older children, Consideration for adoption of a child is given to a married couple who enjoy good health and are financially able to care for the child's future. Vital, too, is the desire to offer a healthy, happy home and the understanding and affection to meet the special needs of children.
