THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, December 20, 1902 CHRISTMAS SUFFERING WEATHER Lynn Franks, 16, watches a group of fellow surfers cut a wave off the beach at Santa Monica, Calif., Tuesday. Doz- ens of teenager surfing enthu- siasts took advantage of the good surfing conditions on a balmy Christmas Day with the temperature in the high 60's. We understand the rest of the country was shivering. _ (AP Wirephoto) gett 'Message Of Manger Sustains Faith: PM OTTAWA (CP)--In his Christ- mas message to Canadians, Prime Minister Diefenbaker said Tuesday that despite indi- cations in present-day life of the "negation of Christmas" faith is sustained by, the "'mes- sage of the manger." "We know . . . that the Man of Nazareth has assured that whatever the fears of the pres- ent, right will ultimately tri- umph, " he said in the nation- wide radio and television broad- cast of a program recorded be- fore his departure for the Ba- hamas where he is spending the holiday. His message followed that of Queen Eliabeth in her annual broadcast to the Common- wealth. Following is the text of Mr. Diefenbaker's message: The Christmas message from Her Gracious Majesty, the Queen, is one of the tra- ditional and happy things to which we look forward on this day. All of you will join me in a spirit of loyalty and devo- tion in expressing gratitude for her words of inspiration and encouragement. FIRST OBSERVANCE The observance of Christ- mas in Canada reaches back to its very beginnings. There was the first heroic observance in 1535 of the 110 souls behind the tiny palisade on the banks of the St. Charles River near the city of Quebec. There was the Christmas celebration at Port Royal in Nova Scotia in the early years of the 17th century. Text Of Queen's Annual Message For Christmas LONDON (Reuters) -- Fol- Jowing is the text of the Queen's annual Christmas broadcast: A Merry Christmas and Happy poi Year. "There is something wonder- ful in the way these old fa- miliar warm-hearted words of the traditional Christmas mes- sage never seem to grow stale. Surely it is because the fam- ily festival is like a firm land- mark in the stormy seas of modern life. Year by year, our families change and grow up. So does our Commonwealth family. This year, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Uganda have joined the circle as full mem- bers and we wish them all good fortune. My husband and I are greatly looking forward to re- visiting New Zealand and Aus- tralia in the new year. We shall meet many old friends and make new ones and we shall be very interested to see some of the many new devel- opments which have taken place since I was last there nine years ago. MANY STRESSES In spite of all the changes of the modern world and the many stresses and strains in- volved, the feeling of a spe- cial relationship between the ordinary people of the older Commonwealth countries will never be weakened. This feel- ing is rapidly spreading |, throughout the newer mem- bers and is its turn will help us to realize the ideal of hu- man brotherhood. - In the ideal of the Common- wealth we have been entrusted with something very special. We have in our hands a most potent force for good, and one of the true unifying bonds in this torn world. Let us keep faith with the ideal we know to be right and be ambitious for the good of all men. Mankind continues to achieve wonders in technical and space research but in the Western world perhaps the launching of Telstar has cap- tured the imagination most vividly. This tiny satellite has become the invisible focus of a million eyes. Telstar, and her sister satel- lites as they arise, can now show the world to the world just as it is in its daily life. What a wonderfully exciting prospect and perhaps it will make us stop and think about what sort of picture we are presenting to each other. FOLLOW A STAR Wise men since the begin- ning of time have studied the skies. Whatever our faith, we can all follow a star--indeed we must follow one if the immensity of the future open- ing before us is not to dazzle our eyes and dissipiate our sense of direction. How is it, people wonder, that we are forever seeking new worlds to conquer before we have properly put our own house in order. Some people are uncertain which star to follow, or if any star is worth following at all. What is it all for, they ask, if you can bounce a telephone conversation, or a television picture through the skies and across the world, yet still find 'lonely people living in the same street? "Following a star has many meanings: It can mean the religious man's approach to God or the hopes of parents for their children, or the am- bition of young men and women, or the devotion of old countries like ours to well- tried ideals of toleration and justice, with no distinction of race or creed. "The wise men of old fol- lowed a star: Modern man has built one. But unless the message of this new star is the same as theirs our wis- dom will' count for nought. Now we can all say the world is my neighbor and it is only in serving one another that we can reach for the stars. God bless you all. I think, too, of the Christ- mas carol Brebeuf wrote for the Huron Indians--Canada's first Christmas carol: "* "was in the moon of win- tertime when all the birds had fled that mighty Gichi Manitou sent the angel chorus instead." These events are of the precious things of our history. At Christmas time we are conscious of a deep need of belonging to somebody--to a family, to a church, to a com- munity, to an organiatiozn which devotes its time and energy to the task of bringing the 'charm of Christmas to those who otherwise would feel that they have been for- gotten at this joyous time. SPECIAL MEANING The Queen's message gives meaning to all Cana- dians in the sense that we be- long to a larger community-- to the Commonwealth of na- tions, bound together in co- operation and dedication to peace not only among its members but for all man- kind. Much of what we witness on earth today may seem a nega- tion of Christmas. There is fear and torment in men's hearts, yet despite it all--de- spite sorrow and hope unfil- filled --the message of the manger still comes to us across the centuries to sus- tain our faith--the message of good will for all men and brotherhood for all creeds and races. With imperishable faith our hearts return to the manger, knowing that the message of the star of Bethlehem and the manger are the need of man- kind. We know, too, that the Man of Nazareth has assured that whatever the fears of 'he present, right will ultimately triumph. This is a day for the home and family. We do not forget that there are many who can- not be at home around their own firesides. We think of those on duty in all parts of the world in the armed forces and in the other services of government. We think of those in hospi- tals and other institutions who will miss the companionship of their loved ones. To pn Re them on this day goes fo! a special message of good wishes. .
