- Diefenbaker Set To Take It Over By KEN CLARK PRINCE ALBERT (CP) -- Conservative Leader Diefenba- ker said Monday night his party is avaiiabie io form a govern meni io forestall another clec- tion. In a post-election television appearance Mr. Diefenbaker said in answering questions that Prime Minister Pearson "has been saying that unless he got his majority there would be an- other election in a year or 18 months." Apparently referring to the calling of another election, he added: "IT say to him this. Constitu- tionally he has no such right." Before Mr. Pearson "could take any such stand" it would be necessary for him to advise the Governor-General there is a second party that believes it can form a strong administra- tion, Mr. Diefenbaker said. His party would 'carry on without having hang over it at all times .. . the danger of an- other election to be brought on by the prime minister asking for dissolution (of Parlia- ment)."' Mr. Diefenbaker was ques- tioned by CBC commentators in Toronto after delivering a television address at a local sta- tion as the last election results trickled in. The 70 - year - old politician said Mr. Pearson called the election to get a majority be- cause he was unable to carry on the government of Canada. VOTERS GAVE ANSWER "He has received his ans- wer," he said. The Liberals were re-elected, but with a parliamentary mi- nority as in the last Parliament. Asked how long he expected to remain as Conservative leader, Mr. Diefenbaker said people have been predicting his political demise for years. "I'll allow the pundits and the prophets to enjoy themselves while I continue to serve the people,"' he said. He said he will continue to help assure that unity will be brought to Canada, Earlier, Mr. Diefenbaker in his committee rooms said the reason Mr. Pearson called an election Sept. 7 was that 'he couldn't carry on," He added: "Without a majority, he would be impotent.

Mr. Pearson having.called an \election to get a majority "with- out which he could not carry on," Mr. Diefenbaker said he "looked forward with interest and anticipation" to what the prime minister would say now. Mr. Diefenbaker spent elec- ition night in his railway car on a Prince Albert siding. Wearing red sock-slippers, he watched the results on television. Aides said he got a particular jdelight out of watching Peter Regenstrief, a polltaker, appear as a CBC commentator, Mr. Regenstrief had predicted a Li- beral majority. He was said to have "'hooted" when the poll- taker explained on_ television why it did not happen. Mr. Diefenbaker, clearly ju- bilant, invited the press corps| ; from an adjoining car to have a piece of bilingual cake. On one side, it was lettered with Always the Chief. On the other it was Toujours le Chef. Mr. Diefenbaker joked with reporters about the election- night appearance of External Affairs Minister Martin on tele- vision. % Thompson Explains 'No Gains' By STUART LAKE RED... DEER. (CP) -- Credit son said Monday night his party failed to make big gains in the federal election because "most of the protest vote went to the Conservatives." The party, which had four members going into the elec- tion campaign, picked up only one seat in the Commons--the Okanagan - Revelstoke riding won by Howard Johnson, Party officials had hoped for as many as 15 seats. Returning Social Credit mem- bers are Mr. Thompson (Red Deer), H. A. Olson (Medicine Hat), A. B. Patterson (Fraser Valley), and Bert Leboe (Cari- boo). Mr, Thompson said a caucus will decide whether former So- Social cial Crediter Gerard Chap- delaine, who won the Quebec lriding of Sherbrooke, will re- |join the party. He was the only jone of five former Social Credit jMPs from Quebec running as lindependents who held his seat. | | | | ROBERT THOMPSON While disappointed at the overall showing, Mr. Thompson was elated with his own victory) jin.

Mr. Douglas also said Cana- dians want increased old age ponsiens,inerensed federal sid for education, a comprehensive manpower training program and protection for consumers. Mr. Douglas, personally vic- torious in Burnaby - Coquitlam constituency, said with good leg- islation a minority Parliament might last four or five years, as the last one could have if the prime minister had not called Monday's 'useless and unneces- sary' election. but he expressed satisfaction at the party's increased number of Commons seats and its higher percentage of the popular vote. The NDP is. "no longer a splinter party -- we are now a major factor in the Canadian political scene." He was disappointed at failing to break into the Atlantic prov- inces, and at the defeat of Rob- ert Cliche. his Quehec leader, in his bid to win Beauce riding: -- "The first thing that has to be decided in Canada is whether the«prime minister is going to resign or whether he's going to carry on," he said.

Those were the days of the great Depression. Eddie believed that although most persons could ill-afford to spend money to help others, they could part with a dime or two. Wee avimimelivs aetminiici adi S SigiNnany Esrmaorisnes The movement was incorporated in Ontario in 1951 as the Ontario Chapter of the Canadian Foundation for Poliomyelitis. When develop- ment of Salk vaccine ended most of the worry of the crippling disease the organization changed its role to that of rehabilitating all disabled. (There is something particularly significant for those who would consider the Foundation's work in terms of hard cash, For the first time since the Foundation's inception in 1951, as much money will be put back into the public pocket during 1965 by newly rehabilitated disabled workers as will be collected by the March of Dimes. In projected workers' earnings and savings in welfare costs, this totals $771,666.) The Foundation starts in where the Society for Crippled Children leaves off. It concerns itself with all disabled and handicapped persons who are 19 and over and cannot be helped by the Workmen's Compen- sation Board, Department of Veterans' Affairs or other government welfare agencies. Supported by more than 40,000 Marching Mothers -- the volunteer convassers, a 22-member volunteer medical advisory committee made up of some of the province's finest orthopaedic surgeons and other specialists in the rehabilitation field, and a 40-member volunteer board of directors, the operey offers a service no government er business could possibly afford. Through 10 branch offices, the Foundation gives aid to the disabled in every community by case or field workers. Although they are not professionally trained, these young women and men provide the first real links to rehabilitation for most of the thousands of handicapped persons aided yearly in the province.
