THE OSHAWA TIME, 1S or, October 16, 1961 Credit Man Helping L. People KAMLOOPS, B.C. (CP)--The { job of the credit investigator i often involves helping people in 1 spite of themselves, says man- ager Clair Methot of Kamloops i Credit Bureau. H "People rarely thank us for 4 our efforts." Mr. Methot, who has been checking credit rating of poten- tial purchasers for the last 10 years, says a family should generally pledge no more than 35 per cent of its net income ! for goods being purchased on i instalment plans. i Rent or mortgage payments i should account for no more i than 25 per cent of net income, i leaving 50 per cent for food, i heat and light bills, he says. if people keep within this general plan they should be able to weather accident, ill- ness or temporary unemploy- ment. FAVORS SCHOOL COURSE Mr. Methot says there is a need for public education on the hazards of over-extended credit purchasing now that buying on instalment has become part of the Canadian way of life. He suggests a high school course] on the subject. The task of his bureau is to advise merchants whether they should extend credit to a par- ticular customer and to what limit. Basing his opinion on the confidential files he. keeps on 30,000 consumers in the Kam- 1 loops area, Mr. Methot says \ only one per cent of buyers are deliberately trying to buy on credit without paying. These people never meet their debts. Another two to three per cent are in serious financial diffi- culty but pay once in a while. The biggest problem group, " accounting for about 20 per { cent of the population, con- sists of people who buy with 8 every intention of paying but who have allocated too large a portion of their income to in stalment payments and should not embark: on further pur- chases. Mr. Methot says credit buy- ing now is a foundation of the Canadian economy. Its signif- fcance is being greatly in creased by the new boom in eredit cards for travel, dining and hotels, he says. | Hamilton Man Designs Throne HAMILTON (CP) = The art-| {st who designed the throne for Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selas-| gle is decorating a Hamilton church. Yugoslav-born Igor Suhacey earns his living as one of Can- ada's few experts on ancient Byzantine art. Since coming to Canada in 1956 he has done decorations for churches in Toronto, Kirk- {and Lake, Ont, and Chicago as well as Hamilton He now is designing an icon- stach (a decorative wall) for St. Vladimir Ukrainian Ortho- dox Church here. After training as an art stu. dent in Germany, Igor spent seven years in Ethiopia with with the public works minis. try, designing palace buildings, stained glass windows, gate- ways and other artistic struc- tures. When he left Africa for Can- ada five years ago, Igor brought with him his father, Peter, who is also an expert in designing icons and decorations for churches of the Eastern Orthodox rites WIFE HELPS THEM . Three months ago Igor mar- = ried a Russian girl, Sylvia, whom he met playing tennis in Toronto. She helps the father- and-son team with their paint} ing. Their apartment in Toronto is often the scene of heated] arguments between the father, | a strict traditionalist, and the son, an enthusiast of modern art. Igor says his passion for ab- stract painting has developed only in the last few years. As 2 student he hated modern painting. His favorite then was Rembrandt and a copy of one of the Dutch master's works painted by Igor during student days decorzies their apartment In Canada, he says, there are good artists but he does not like the 'heavy, lumpy sky school," his description of the Group of Seven. Igor says he finds no con- flict between the traditional church work and the abstracts he does on his own. But the church work takes too much of his time, he says.

A TIDAL WAVE OF HOPE Red Flag flying over every country in the orld during his lifetime. He thinks he can do it. Every decision and action he takes over Berlin, Laos, the Congo or at the United Nations is meas- ured against this one aim. He has an ideology. Nations outside the Communist bloe lack any common ideology or world aim. They are divided amongst themselves. They think that if they stand up to Mr. Krushchev they may be forced into atomic war. Appeasement is no answer to dictatorship. The idealism of the United Nations without an ideology often becomes the tool for Moscow's aim. Making big speeches to satisfy public opinion at home and backing them by weak action when we meet the Communists at the conference table destroys the faith of the millions in the power of the democratic way of life. Squatting in the streets, however sincere, is no answer to the threat of the H-bomb. The answer is to stand up and fight in every nation, everywhere, for an ideology that changes Communist and non-Communist alike and unites every race, class and color in the supreme task of the century -- the remaking of the world. Men with an ideology superior to Communism ean not only stand up to Mr, Krushchev but enlist him in a greater revolution. General Carpentier of France, who was in eommand of the land forces of NATO for Central Europe, and who had the training of the Brazilian Army and commanded the French forces in Indo- China and elsewhere, put the issue clearly at the World Assembly at Caux this year when he said, "We need a tidal wave of Moral Re-Armament to sweep across the world. Then men in Government will be forced to make the right decisions that spring not only from the intellect, but from our hearts and faith." "THE TIDE OF COMMUNISM CAN BE TURNED" This 'tidal wave is flooding across the conti- nents. Marshal Tavora, national hero of Brazil, flew last week to Rome. There he told leaders of the Church and State, "With Moral Re-Armament the tide of Communism in my country and Latin America can be turned." His colleague General Bethlem, former Brazil- ian Ambassador in Bolivia and Pakistan, on that same day was meeting in Los Angeles with Mr. Kishi, Prime Minister of Japan until last year, Both General Bethlem and Mr. Kishi had been at Caux two weeks before. The General said, "In Brazil and Peru 900,000 of my countrymen have seen the Japanese play The Tiger in the last five months. Millions more have seen it on television. Its message has already saved Brazil from civil war." Mi KRUSHCHEY is 67. He plans to see the wi He was referring to a play by the revolution- ary students of the Zengakuren of Japan. These students, led the riots in Tokyo last year which caused President Eisenhower's visit to Japan to be cancelled. The students changed. They wrote a play describing how Communism had captured them through their own moral compromise and how Moral Re-Armament had taught them to go not right, not left, but straight. Then they went to America and apologized to Eisenhower, He urged them to go to Latin America. Marshal Juarez Tavora, national hero of Brazil In Manaug, a Communist stronghold of Brazil, 2 thousand miles up the Amazon River, 90,000 peo- ple in one night alone saw a presentation of The Tiger in the football stadium. On the same night the Communist eounter-rally across the road, for the anniversary of Castro's Cuban Revolution, drew a total of forty people. One of the students said, "It is the greatest event that has ever taken place in Manaus. It has revolutionized our thinking." "THE ONLY ANSWER TO THE CRISIS IN BERLIN" Mr. Kishi, speaking with General Bethlem in Los Angeles, told of how he had discussed with Gen- eral Eisenhower last week at Gettysburg the im- pact of the work of Moral Re-Armament through- out the South American continent. He said, "I apologized to General Eisenhower for last year's riots and invited him to come as soon as possible to Japan. I had two objectives in making my present journey around the world. The first was to attend the Moral Re-Armament Assembly at Caux. This Assembly made an impression on me that is both deep and os Baa B oy Secondly, I wanted to meet again the world statesmen i had known as Prime Minister. The only answer to the crisis in Berlin and the challenge of Communism today is the ideology of Moral Re-Armament. Nations to- day must form a solid front, a unity of purpose and of spirit so evident to the Communist world that they will not indulge in miscalculation nor misunderstand our aim and goal. MRA is pro- ducing this unity which transcends all national boundaries and all minor divisions." In September Mr. Saburo Chiba, for three years Chairman of the National Security Commit- tee of the Japanese Diet, flew straight from Caux to confer with President Prado of Peru. He said that his own experience as head of Security had led him to two conelusions on how to answer Com- munism: (1) To impact the masses with a more effective ideology and (2) To unite the countries of the free world in a common strategy. He told the President that no exclusively national plan is adequate today. While the thirteen Communist bloe countries are united in one global strategy, eighty-two nations have not yet reached a common mind and goal. "In order to create a united force in the free world," he continued, "we must create a united force of parliamentarians from every nation. This is already being done in many of the free countries." Former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi of Japan "TO SAVE DEMOCRACY IN PERU" President Prado invited Moral Re-Armament to his country "to save democracy in Peru." At the National Stadium in Lima 60,000 people stood in silence for a minute to honour the memory of Frank Buchman, initiator of Moral Re-Armament, before seeing a performance of The Tiger. Ten thousand who could not get in listened over the loudspeakers outside. A force of these Japanese students went to San Marcos University. This is the University which organized the stoning of Vice-President Nixon when he visited Peru. Speaking on the Peruvian National Radio after meeting the Japanese, one of these student leaders said, "Five days ago we had riots. Moral Re-Armament has made us understand that the divisions which exist between political groups arise because each group is out for itself. MRA has come at the right moment to Peru." Another student leader said on the National Radio: "In this atomic age man must give the answer to exploitation by either Communism or capitalism. Here is an ideology which rebuilds the chaotic world today, which gives food to the hungry, work to the unemployed, and fills the empty spirit of man which has been lost in immora- lity and corruption." This week in Peru 40,000 people, including thousands of Indians in colorful dress, thronged to the great Sacsayhuaman fortress, stronghold of the ancient Inca civilization, now known as the Moscow of Peru, to see The Tiger and hear it in the original Inca language. The head of Indian affairs said, "Your philosophy is going to change the face of the earth bringing justice, bread and an answer. The Moral Re-Armament force in Latin America is moving from Brazil and Peru to Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay, and other countries of that continent. IDEOLOGICAL OFFENSIVE IN EUROPE At the same time a force of 400 from 36 nations is sweeping through countries of Europe in an ideological offensive to answer defeatism, Communism and division. Among them are fifty Chinese from Taiwan headed by General Ho Ying- chin, former Prime Minister of China and wartime Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese armies, who received the Japanese sword of surrender in World War Il. General Ho Ying-chin said, "We lost the mainland of China because we lacked an ideology. The materialism in our own life was exploited by the Communists to take over China. We sacrificed Prime Minister U Nu of Burma our country for our selfishness. I have been more than thirty years a soldier, and I say that the way to secure peace and freedom for the world is Moral Re-Armament." These fifty Chinese have put their burning convictions into a play called The Dragon, whic shows the tragedy of a nation lost through the selfishness of men and gives the hope of an answer, One of the leading industrialists of Europe, after seeing The Dragon, said, "Nobody who sees this play can be the same again. What I like most about Moral Re-Armament is that it challenges the rich, as it does everybody, to change their whole motive of life." The former Comintern delegate, Hans Bjerk- holt, co-founder of the Norwegian Communist Party, spoke last week to 22,000 people at a mass demonstration with the Chinese play, The Dragon, in the football stadium at Lucerne. "We are at the most serious point in the history of mankind," he said, "when the leaders of the West start to waver before Krushchev, our task is to move the masses and give them courage to stand firm. MRA is the superior ideology that has the power to unite East and West. It is the next step forward for Com- munist and non-Communist alike." Gabriel Marcel, the French philosopher and playwright, said at Lucerne, "Moral Re-Armament 18 an immense effort to create a new living fabrie of humanity right across the world. In France to- day more and more men are responding to this road." Vaterland, Swiss Catholic newspaper, wrote of The Dragon, "Thus far the Chinese have been the main agents of world Communism on many fronts in Africa and South America. Now for the first time in the history of the ideological struggle representatives of Free China have appeared on the scene, blazing a trail with their message. We were literally shaken as the play unfolded before our eyes -- a play that ends with a brilliant finale as men realize that the power of the ideology of Moral Re-Armament can usher in a new and bet- ter age. We made our way home with a great hope in our hearts." The Moral Re-Armament force and the Chinese are being greeted by crowds of thousands night after night who say that in their message they see hope for peace in the world and the unity of Europe. Civic leaders of Berlin are among those who have invited this force to their city. They be- lieve that the root problem is not a wall that divides a city or a continent but the steely selfish- ness that separates man from man and all men from the government of God. Many African countries have invited the forces of Moral Re-Armament to come immedi- ately to their continent. President Kasavubu sent his wife and son as leaders of the Congolese dele- gation to Caux last month. Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Adolphe Kasavubu, the son of the President, said, "The Congo is at the centre of Africa. If the Congo goes Communist, all Africa will follow. It is not enough to give dollars to under- developed countries. We must win the hearts of the people. What we need is an isology; That ideology is Moral Re-Armament." He told more than a thousand delegates from every part of the world that in the last twelve months 483 radio broadcasts about Moral Re-Armament have gone out in five Congolese languages to all parts of his country on the National Radio. "MORAL RE-ARMAMENT OR FINAL ANNIHILATION" U Nu, Prime Minister of Burma, brought a delegation of his countrymen to Caux last month. On leaving he said, "Moral Re-Armament must go on for ever if we want to prevent mankind from plunging into final annihilation. If we want to stop Communism taking hold of the world, we must deal with corruption, bribery, drink, and womanizing. If we want to change corrupt people we must be honest ourselves. That is what impresses me very much a Gaur. With this ideology you are bound te succeed." Rajmohan Gandhi, grandson of the Mahat- ma, said at Caux, "he issue for the world is not Communism or war, Sut whether statesmen will undertake the Moral KsArmament of the Com= munist and non-Communis: worlds. We must go to Washington and Moscow with an ideology that changes men. That is the next sep for the Com- munist and non-Communist , Unless we change human nature we can newer fulfil the " aspirations of the millions in our waffles An Asian centre for Moral Re-Armai wil} open next spring near Tokyo to match the centress at Caux and Mackinac. An Assembly for the Ameri- cas is being held in Rio de Janeiro next month. Over Christmas and New Year there will be a Pan African Assembly for Moral Re-Armament at the heart of Africa. Mr. Krushchev wants to see a different kind of world. Every honest person knows he is right in the conviction that change is needed, however much we disagree with his way of doing it. The leaders of the free world have in Moral Re-Arma- ment an ideology superior to Communism to offer him. Even the most difficult will respond to the firm, united but humble voice of democratic nations morally rearmed. Why should there be ecatas- trophe again when with God renaissance is im- evitable? 1t is not a matter of left or right: it is a matter of right or wrong. Communism gave its philosophy to the world last Christmas over the Moscow Radio when it said: "Our rocket has by-passed the moon. It is nearing the sun and we have not discovered God. We have turned lights out in heaven that no man will be able to put on again. We are breaking the yoke of the Gospel, the opium of the masses. Let us go forth and Christ shall be relegated to mythology." . Frank Buchman, in his last words, gave a challenge to the modern world on the sixth of August in Freudenstadt when he said, "I want the world to be governed by men governed by God. Why not let God run the whole world?" It is the hour for heroic decision and embol- dened leadership. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. On July 1st, 45,000 jammed the stadium at Recife for a Moral Re-Armament demonstration, the largest gathering in the history of this key seaport of Northeast Brazil. The demonstration took place jusk three weeks after tanks and troops were rushed there to quell rioting students in the city streets.
