38 THE sneak TIMES, Thursday, September C 1968 The Surging Diefenbaker Feelin' Great; Aides Beat OTTAWA (CP) -- Conserva- tive Leader Diefenbaker has completed the first short leg of his campaign trail--a five-day grind through the Maritimes and Quebec--and his initial pace threatens to leave his en- tourage in a state of physical exhaustion. "After five days, nothing stood out more than stamina. But many of.those who followed him were too tired to notice. Whether the 70-year-old cam- igner can keep up the gruel- ing grind for more than five weeks remains to be seen. He says he can. "I never felt better in. my life." Mr. Diefenbaker's main schedule for the first five days included three major speaking engagements, at Halifax, St. John's, and Brownsburg, Que. He spoke for 65 minutes in a hot 'Halifax auditorium where 2,000 packed the place. About 700 Newfoundlanders heard him go on for 50 minutes in even worse heat in St. John's. At Brownsburg, some 70 miles east of Ottawa, Mr. Diefenbaker had to pull on a heavy sweater. be- fore beginning a 40-minute talk in a 45-degree arena. But it was between the speak- ing engagements that the old campaigner set himself the tor- tuous. schedule. Up at 6 a.m. Friday, Sept. 24, he was in Montreal for a 9 a.m. press conference, in Halifax two hours later for an airport re- ception, in Dartmouth two hours after that for another reception, a series of meetings over din- ner, and then his speech that went on until 10:50 p.m. After that he met party work- ers and did not get to bed until a.m. "os 'Mr. Diefenbaker was said to be at work before 7 a.m. Satur- day, and he held another press conference two hours later. He left for St. John's, Nfld. at noon, shook hands with about 300 people at the airport there, and got into his hotel in time for dinner. Another series of local meet- tings, and the Conservative leader was ready to speak again. He finished at 10:30 and went immediately to a recep- hat perched jauntly on his head, Mr. Diefenbaker was walking briskly to the St. John's water- front to see the Portuguese sail- ors cleaning their masted ves- sels. Then he was off to a fire Wall where he was treated to a demonstration of pole-sliding. Time for church. Mr, Diefen- baker read the lesson in the Baptist church at St. John's, and raced immediately to the airport. Within minutes of take- off for Halifax he left the first- class compartment on the plane and talked to reporters who were in the economy section. He also visited the plane's cockpit because the co-pilot, Doug Evans of Toronto, was the son of a woman who had lent Mr. Diefenbaker a chair once used by Sir John A. Macdonald. By coincidence, Peter C. New- man, author of The Renegade in Power, was visiting the cock- pit at the same time, The au- thor and his subject met at close quarters for the first time since the book came out two years ago, and the first greetings were exchanged. | "Hello," said Mr. Diefen- baker. "Hello," replied Mr. | Newman. | Then they. both talked to Mr. | Evans about the chair. Mr. Diefenbaker left Halifax | fn his private railway car at Paper-strike: No Suggestion TORONTO (CP) -- A concili-| ation board has reported to the Ontario labor department that " it has no recommendations. for |f' settling a 14-month dispute be- | tween the three Toronto daily newspapers and members of | the mailers division of the In-| ternational Typographical Un | ion (CLC). The 220 mailers quit work July 9, 1964, when printer Members of the ITU went on strike at the Toronto papers in a contract dispute. The mail- ets' contract allowed them to) remain idle in a printer strike. It expired last Dec. 31. The papers have continued to publish, with the printers still out, and the mailers have been| trying to get their jobs back} for months. Last May they ne-| gotiated a contract with the| publishers but the membership repudiated it on orders of ITU} headquarters at Colorado Springs, Colo. Car-Production 7:15 p.m. Sunday and he was greeting some 200 people in Truro two hours later. At 7 a.m. Monday, when' the first groggy reporter raised his blind, he saw Mr. Diefenbaker, wearing an engineer's cap, striding along the platform at Campbellton, N.B., to meet the train crew. More than a dozen times dur- ing the day, he was jumping off at station platforms to meet anywhere from eight to 150 peo- ple. He shook hands with about 600 by the time he reached Montreal where another 100 or so waited. He was in bed by midnight, At 6:15 a.m. Tuesday the ho- tel switchboard operators began phoning reporters with the mes- sage that Mr. Diefenbaker was leaving half an hour ahead of schedule, and they were to board their bus by 7:30. VISITED CLASSROOMS This started the most exhaust- ing day of the campaign. Driv- ing some 200 miles through the Laurentian mountain area, Mr. | Diefenbaker addressed a morn- ing gathering at St. Adolphe, | visited school classrooms there, and then went 35 miles to Har- rington for the same thing over again. Another 45 miles took him to a roadside restaurant to greet another welcoming committee. He stayed long enough to grab a sandwich before visiting two factories, and spending an hour at an open market place. This pe followed by another recep- | tion. Then, finally, at 5:45 p.m. he went into a motel room for half an hour. After this break, he went to'® Legion reception in Lachute, and then four miles to the Brownsburg arena, where his speech ended at 10:30 p.m. WINNIPEG (CP) -- A crisis will develop in Canada if an- other minority government is returned to office in the Nov. 8 federal election, Northern Af- fairs Minister Laing said Wed- nesday. Dismissing statements that minority governments produce more effective legislation than governments with a majority, Mr. Laing told a press confer- ence: "These are the advocates of Opposition Advocates Anarchy By Negating Majority: Liberal anarchy who talk like this. No- thing but anarchy develops when governments operate like that." Since its election in 1963, the Pearson government has been "working under a crisis all the time,' Mr, Laing said. It has been sustained in office be- cause of the prime minister's commitment to act "like a ma- jority even though the Liberals did not have sufficient strength in the Commons." when friends " at your house § GOL ANC Montreal, Que a light rum mat rum drop anc "up anchor" with D HOR de by the Wood Rum Company Ltd | | student's desk set SPEGIAL!
