~ She Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1963---PAGE 6 Leadership Speculation Revived By Diefenbaker Political observers had just about concluded that John Diefenbaker would have no serious opposition to his continuing leadership of the Conservative party at the party's national convention next January, when Mr. Diefenbaker himsélf re- vived the leadership controversy. He had no intention, he said, of being dictated to by any group and would "as in the past" put up his leadership for a vote of confidence at the national convention. Thus, without any prompting, he seemed to be tossing a challenge at some unnamed opponents within the party -- an acknowledgement that there were at least some Con- servatives who would like a change. The fact of the matter is, of course, that a great many Conser- vatives would like a change; they are completely disenchanted with Mr. Diefenbaker and do not believe that he can lead the party to victory in the next federal election unless there is a complete Liberal collapse -- and that does not appear to be even a remote possibility. The rebels, however, are prac- tical men. They realize that Mr. Diefenbaker still holds the loyalty of most of the western Tories, the only solid block of Tory seats in the Commons. And there is this sticky question: If Mr. Diefenbaker is to be deposed, who is to take his place? There is no obvious can- didate in. Parliament. There are three glittering possibilities in the provinces: John Robarts of On- tario, Duff Roblin of Manitoba and Robert Stanfield of Nova Scotia, But not one of the three has shown more than passing interest in the federal party. Mr. Diefen- baker during the last election cam- paign indicated Mr. Roblin was his favored heir, but that was during a campaign, a time when Mr, Diefenbaker tends to get carried away by his own eloquence. It was not expected, therefore, that the rebels would mount an offensive against Mr. Diefenbaker in January. But Mr. Diefenbaker's outburst would indicate that the himself is not so certain about it. The January convention may be interesting after all. Not Back, But Forward By REV. JOHN K. MOFFAT Simcoe Street United Church If there is one thing calculated to perpetuate the spritual poverty of this generation it is our insis- tence upon living on a' spiritual capital created by devout and God- loving parents and teachers with- out adding to that capital or making any appreciable spiritual invest- ment of our own. A. L. Glegg tells of a man who had a profound religious experience, the details of which he recorded, and called his "Blessed Experience". At every opportunity over a pericd of twenty-five years, he would get it out and read it to people. One night he went to get the paper and could not find it. He asked his wife where she had put it. "I didn't touch it dear," she said, "But I think the mice have eaten your 'blessed experience'." There is a pointed lesson for us here. Unless we are growing in grace and in the knowledge of God, unless we are moving forward in our spiritual comprehension our religious experience is rapidly dis- appearing, being eaten up by the mice of time and conflicting in- terests, Even Jesus was not satisfied with the clear-cut victory of His tempta- tion experience. He continually went off by Himself to pray that He might replenish the reservoirs of spiritual understanding and grow in His Communion with God. We hear a lot these days about 'back to the Bible' and 'back to Christ' movements. The direction is wrong. It should never be 'back to the Bible' but 'forward with the Bible' for we are a 'long sea-mile away from catching up with its deepest spiritual insights. It should never be 'back to Christ' but always 'forward with Christ' for He is not a shadowy figure behind us but a transforming personal power in the very forefront of life, whose searching judgments and tender love ever beckon us, forward in the power and adventure of the Spirit. Womens Contribution We are happy to join the chorus of acclaim for Canadian women as the..Canadian Federation of Busi- ness and Professional Women's Clubs prepares to observe Business Women's Week, beginning to- morrow. The Week provides an opportunity to recognize the social, political, economic artistic contribu- tion made to the nation by Cana- dian women. Miss Elsie Gregory MacGill, pre- sident of the Federation -- and Canada's first female aeronautical engineer -- has said that "Business _ and Professional Women's Clubs spend little time on social activities. We are concerned with the study of wage and salary rates paid to women, job levels career opportu- nities, pension and retirement plans, part-time employment, together with the laws and regulations, particularly affecting women, deal- The Oshawa Times T.

The Federation annually awards a United Nations Fellowship of $500 to a club member to observe and report on the regular sitting of the UN Status of Women Com- mission. It has provided $3,500 to maintain seven students at the Training Centre for Women at Ramullah in Jordan. There is an active Business and Professional Women's Club in Osh- awa. To' further education for women, the club gives bursaries to the collegiates in the city and in Whitby, and to student nurses at the time of their graduation. Canadians across the nation are being invited to honor the women who have athieved so much in all walks of life and to learn more about the aims and accomplish- ments of the Federation and its 169 clubs. It has been estimated that there are over 850,000 women in industry the professions, busi- ness and public life today, whose work is essential to the Canadian economy. Bible Thought Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. -- Psalm 41:1. Here, again is God's mercy in depth. He helps both the poor and those who help them. The consider- ate, too, have their troubles. The Lord considers them all. OTTAWA SUDBURY STAR: A busi- ness report which tells of a shortage of used cars in Can- ada also indicates a_ subtle trend making itself felt in the used car market. It is. that more people are using their old car as a "second car' when they purchase a new car. This is not as strange as it sounds. Many parents consider it better business to permit sons and daughters to learn to drive with the old car than to risk damage with the new car. Fur- thermore, there has been a trend to two-car families for some time and as long as the older car is in good condition, more value is obtained by driv- ing it than by turning it in. FINANCIAL POST: The spec- tacle of the White House and the U.S, Secretary of Labor and the whole weighty machinery of the U.S. government being gassed up to tell the Canadian govern- ment what it can and cannot do about a Canadian problem is, to say the least, unpleasant, Here is the cast of characters and here is the play. Kennedy needs the labor union vote in his presidential contest next year. That means he needs the unqualified sup- port of George Meany, the pow- erful head of the AFL-CIO. Meany is shaky in his lucra- tive job. Quite a few big union leaders are gunning for him, notably Walter Reuther of the Auto Workers. To protect 'his hid, Meany needs all the friends he can keep and so he will do anything to please Paul Hall, the very powerful international boss of the Seafarers Union. Paul Hall, in turn, very much needs the support of Hal Banks -- and the money Banks gets out of his Canadian union mem- bers. So when the U.S. Secretary of Labor solemnly makes an offi- cial pilgrimage to Ottawa (no- body can recall that happening before) and when he makes public declarations telling the Canadian government what to do, he is merely doing a chore for Kennedy who wants to do a MOMENT OF TRUTH WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING favor for George Meany, who needs Hall, who needs the no- torious Hal Banks. From Mr. Kennedy's point of view, Canada is quite unim- portant. It would, in most re-. spects, be a lot simpler for the White House 2nd the U.S. gov- ernment if we didn't exist at all as a separate country. It is tragic that a man of such great endowments as Kennedy should with increasing fre- quency, be revealed as having a serious defect of character. His intellect and conscience too often fail him in assessment of the appropriate and seemly ex- ercise of power. The proverb, "The end justi- fies the means" with the Ken- nedy clan too often becomes "The end justifies any means." Hal: Banks and John F. Ken- nedy will understand each other completely. As "successful" men, they have good reason to admire each other. Both Banks and Kennedy are good at kicking people around. Canadians who have not taken the oath of allegiance to the White House and to the U.S. Congress have bery good cause for extreme distaste. Kitchener Record: An archi- tect said this week that neigh- borhood centres being planned for Kitchener will have "the strength of a bomb shelter." Whether this is something to advertise may be debated, but there seems little doubt about the necessity. Juvenile vandalism in parks and buildings is so extensive that civic officials have cause for. despair. That is why the glass for the new Belmont Park neighborhood centre will .with- stand everything but a rifle shot or a sledgehammer. At least that is the hope. It would take'a great deal of cour- age to wager on this claim be- ing realized. The young people of today admittedly are bigger and stronger than their ances- tors andthe effects are notice- able in many fields, including those of wilfu! destruction.

The Financial Post: Do you want a law and a_ policeman telling you how much milk you can drink, how many potatoes you can eat? Should each of us have in Constant attendance a govern- ment nursemaid to super- Wise everything that goes into our mouths? Many Canadians obvio: think so because they ate sheepishly going along without protest on so many ideas put forward for regulating our lives, for passing laws, for chopping away the right which many citi- zens still believe in -- the right to go to heaven or hell in their own way. Our concern is stimulated by a couple of doctors who, in a piece in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, urge, or imply that another "patent medicine" should be put on the banned list and made available on prescription only. These medicos report two cases of "bromide poisoning". One patient had been upping his intake of Bromo Seltzer to a bottle a day. The article refers to a second caseof a woman taking Nytol pills -- up to 16 a day. Along with the doctors we re- gret that these people had work- ed their way up to such wildly monumental doses. But then we also regret the predicament of people who drink one or two bottles of whisky a day, or too much beer, or who eat too much of any- thing, or who are exercise mani- acs or sloth maniacs or any. other kind of addict who indulge --in anything--to ridiculous ex- tremes. But the frenzy with which many people want to pass laws and manage the lives of other Persons is also a disorder. It would be most regrettable indeed if hundreds of thousasnd or illions of our people began Swigging a _ whole bottle of Bromo Seltzer every day. It would also be cause for alarm if hordes made them- selves ill drinking into much cof- fee or eating too much cheese. But let us go easy on passing more laws about anything and let's be careful about common TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 19, 1963 The United States imposed an embargo on Cuba three years ago today--in 1960 -- in an attempt to tumble the Castro regime, Canada was criticized by some U.S. sources for. continuing to trade with Cuba and in reply it was argued that Canada always had traded with all countries regardless of political color. 1944--Russian troops in- vaded East Prussia. 1945--The UN charter was ratified by the Canadian House of Commons. Portugal May REPORT FROMUK.: - 10 Downing Street In Use Once More Impede Congo LUANDA, Angola (AP)--Por- tugal appears prepared to try to blockade The Congo if for- eign troops are allowed to use that country as a base from which to help African national- ist rebels here in neighboring Angola. A navy commander says Por- tugal has three vessels at St. Antonio do Zaire ready to be used as blockships. Tey could b- sunk across the navigable channel of the Congo River. The move would cut the main supply route to Leopo'dville, the wngolese capital, through the port of Matadi some 70 miles from the*mouth of the river. Portuguese naval authorities -also say they have a number of warships in Angolan waters and these presumably could be used to back up the blockade by force. The Congo's "Route Nation- ale" linking mineral-rich Ka- tanga by rail and river with Matadi has only recently been reopened, The main outlet for Katanga's copper still is by way of the partly British-owned Ben- guela Railroad which passes through Angola to the port of Lobito. Another route from Katanga to the East African port vf Beira in Mozambique also is controlled by the Portuguese. The war between the Portu- guese and insurgent forces in Angola has dragged on for 21% years. At the African summit con- ference in Addis Ababa earlier this year, the independent Afri- can nations pledged support for Holden Roberto's Angolan Peo- pies' Union which has borne the brunt of the fighting against Portuguese colonial rule. That support so far has not taken the form of providing troops. Roberto, in fact, has turned down an offer by Alger- ian Premier Ahmed Ben Balla to send 10,000 soldiers to An- gola. If foreign troops appear in the Portuguese territory, Portugal likely will clamp a blockade on The Congo. Premier Cyrille Adoula's Con- golese government has recog- nized Roberto's. movement as Angola's government-in-exile. The Angolan rebels have been allowed to establish a military training camp near Thysville in The Congo. They reach rebel strongholds deep inside Angola by way of secret routes across a poory guarded frontier. Then they travel at night through thickly wooded valleys and. along tracks concealed by head-high elephant grass.

Its recon- struction completed, at a cost of over $3,000,000, Mr. Macmil- lan and Lady Dorothy Macmil- lan left their temporary home at Admiralty House to take up residence in this historic home of British prime ministers. Lady Dorothy had a busy two or three weeks superintending the removal, the placing of fur- niture and watching the decor- ators putting the final touches to the house. And her comment as she moved back there was "Everything is just fine', The day after Mr. Macmillan was again installed at No. 10 Downing strete, the first cabinet meeting was held in the refur- nished cabinet room, which has, to a large extent, been re- tained in its former historical form.

The proposal comes from Kenya's 33-year-old Tom Mboya, minister of justice in the Kenyatta government. In a book called Freedom and After, he says there may well be a move toward regarding the Queen as one of several heads of state who would hold the tit!e in tum, each for a fixed period. Mboya says this might be more practicable than the pro- posal often advanced that the Queen should move her reai- dence around the various Com- monwealth capitals. Mboya makes the suggestion after predicting that most Com- monwealth countries will prob- ably be republics within a few years, Consequently, the Queen would come to mean less to them than to the parent country and the "old" dominions.
