National Liberal Rally Arouses Wide Interest
,The National Liberal Rally in Ot-
tawa last week was an indication of
the interest which men and women
• from all walks of life and from all
parts of Canada take in the problems
' facing the country. Both in its size
and its enthusiasm, and in the serious
manner in which party policy was
approached, the rally was an out-
standing success.
There was, of course, no question
concerning the leadership of the Lib-
eral party before the rally. The lead-
ership of Mr. L. B. Pearson was en
dorsed unanimously by the rally
when it adopted a resolution of con-
fidence, proposed by the former lead-
er, Mr. Louis St. Laurent. The action
recognized the increasingly effective -
direction which Mr. Pearson has pro-
. vided during the three years since he,
was elected to head the party.
It might have been expected that
the lack of personalities, which comes
with a leadership contest, would have
resulted in a lessening in interest.
Such Was not the case. Men and wo-
men,lyoung and old—with the young
predominating—quickly got down to
discussing policy. There was no sign
of apathy—the biggest threat to dem-
ocracy. Instead, there was a healthy
interest in every aspect of public af-
fairs, and the delegates entered into
the discussions with confidence.
There was every reason for confi-
dence..as the Liberals looked back ov-
er the three years since their last
national gathering. At that time they
were within scant weeks of an elec-
tion disaster which left the party
discouraged. Yet within a year there
were positive signs of recovery.
Not only were victories gained in
by-elections, but public opinion polls
reflected a growing sentiment favor-
ing the Liberals.. In 1960 came victor-
ies in provincial elections and Liber-
al successes in federal by-elections as
well. As the Liberal party, under
the leadership of Mr. Pearson, gain-
ed stature in the eyes of the country,
the standing of the Diefenbaker Gov -
ernment steadily declined. Beset by
indecision, facing mounting domestic
problems, and haunted by promises
which it has not kept, the govern-
ment today finds its top-heavy ma-
jority in parliament no longer is a
reflection of the acceptance of the
Diefenbaker party across the coun-
tr The fact that the Liberals have not
permitted their recent successes to
lull them into a sense of well-being,
but are sparing no effort to provide
the kind of policy that can be recog-
nized as best for the country, speaks
well for the future.
That the Liberals recognize this is
seen by the vigor with which they
studied the problems facing Canada
when they met in Ottawa last week:
Honor For Tuckersmith
The election of Reeve Ivan Forsyth,
Reeve of Tuckersmith as Warden of
Huron, is a distinct honor for the
citizens of the township. At the same
time, it is a recognition of the contri-
bution which Reeve Forsyth has
made to council deliberations during
the years he has represented Tucker -
smith -on -that body. The election, too,
recognizes the esteem in which he is
held by members of council, and the
quiet unassuming but conscientious
way in which he goes about his duties.
In recent years there have been.
relatively few wardens from Tuck-
ersmith' Township, the most recent
being Reeve Arthur Nicholson, who
served in 1951. That the selection of
a warden rests on the merits of the
individual candidate and not on the
municipality he represents, is em-
phasized by the fact that Tucker -
smith, in terms of assessment,is the
fourth largest municipality in the
county, exceeded only by the town of
Goderich and the townships of Steph-
en and Howick. Thus it is that there
will be a particular pride on the part
of Tuckersmith citizens as a result
' of the honor Warden Forsyth has
brought them.

Ah, wasn't that a lovely cold
snap we had there.? Didn't it just
make you feel good to be alive?
Weren't you. glad you were a full-
blooddd Canadian, part of the hard
inner core of our country, and not
one of those imitations who live.
away down in places like Southern
Ontario and Vancouver, who
scarcely know what an honest two
feet of snow looks like, but who
keep pretending they're real Cana-
dians?
Why, I was in Toronto last week
end, and I felt like a hard-butten
centurion from the provinces, vis-
iting Rome in the middle of Nero's
reign. You know something? They
didn't have one lousy little inch
of slush, let alone any snow. You'd
hardly know it was winter, except
fora wind blowing up the concrete
canyons that would cut the eye-
balls out of you.
It isn't that I envy these people.
Not at all. .After all, every coun-
try has its decadent centres, where
live those of its people who have
lost that tough inner fibre, and
who have become soft and luxury -
loving. England" has them. They
throng the south coast in July,
when there are some days so hot
you have to take off your tweed
jacket. Some of them have be-
come so degenerate they'll put on
bathing attire and run right into
the English Channel, right up to
their knees.

Even the Eskimos have this trou-
ble. Some of their people have
lost the old values, the true way
of life, and hang about on the
southern fringes of Eskimo -land,
working for money, of all things,
and eating stuff out of cans, just
like the rest of us.

That's not living. It's like playing
Post Office with no girls. Up this
way, winter driving is more like
Russian Roulette. You skid wildly
about the streets, seldom pointing
in the. direction you _ are going.
When you get to a corner, you put
on your brakes and slide halfway
across the intersection, head swiv-
eling like a fighter pilot. Or you
do get stopped, and you 'can't see
a thing in any direction for snow-
banks, so you close your eyes and
dive out.
REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
LATE BATTLE
January reminds us of a battle
that was -fought after a treaty of
peace had been signed. Every stu-
dent of American history knows
that Andrew Jackson defeated the
British at New Orleans after the
signing of a treaty of peace be-
cause tidings of the event, brought
to the United States in slow -sail-
ing ships, did not reach the coun-
try before the battle.
The marvels of communication
would make such a thing impossi-
ble now. All the world is united by
words that go out on wires winged
with electric flame and through
unwired space. Indeed it is possi-
ble now to learn of things in Eur-
ope, because of time zones, be-
fore they happen.
It is impossible for any man not
to have peace in his heart if he
hears, the blessed story of Jesus
and His love. Consider, you read-
er, that it is impossible for you
to miss the blessed tidings of
peace, the sound of which has
gone out across the world, if you
believe in the name of the Lord
Jesus and give your life to him.
Just a Thought:
There is nothing wrong in having
a will to win, in being proud of a
just victory; but this must be coun-
terbalanced with the ability to ac-
cept defeat in a gracious manner
and the courage to try again.
* * *
There's none of this painty-waist
talk about the latest plays and
ballet, and music and other exotic
stuff those southern people in the
cities talk, about in winter. Our
talk is real, and terse, and mean-
ingful. It's stripped to the bone,
the language of the sturdy, self-re-
liant Canadian of the interior,
tackling the elements on his own
terms':
Like: "Ja make the hill first
time 'smorning?" and "Dam' snow-
plow's late again,. I see"; and
"Yuh should see my icicles"; and
"Hadda shovel the whole bloody
thing out again"; and "How many
gallons ja use in December?"
That's the sort of straight -forward,
man's talk you get around here
in the winter from the real Cana-
dians.
Seems to me it's a lot like the
language used by others who had
to face a hard, bitter fight of
their time. Like the cowboys in
the early Wild West. Or the con-
victs who were dumped ashoe in
Australia. Or the first monkeys
who decided to come down out of
the trees and have a whack at it.
They don't seem to realize they
have lost their old integrity and
dignity—the stuff that made Uncle
Oog-Loog sit beside a hole in the
ice for. five days, waiting to spear
a non-existent seal. Some of these
modern Eskimos have slipped so
far from their great heritage that
were it not for some of our Cana-
dian writers, like Farley Mowat,
they'd probably think they were
having a good time, being warm
and eating sliced bread and jam
instead of blubber,
No, we can't help this weak
strain in our sturdy national breed.
Every- nation has a 'flaw. Even
Canada -must tolerate these sybar-
ites who move indolently about in
the balmy climes of our country's
deep south,' where the tempera-
ture is often away up in the 20's.
Not to mention the traitors, re-
negades and people with enough
money, who slip away to Florida
and California, the minute winter
calls its first chill challenge.
It isn't the fact that we have
these parasites that gets me. It's
their attitude. They're all wrap-
ped up in themselves, and aren't
even remotely interested in what
the weather was like this morning
when you left the north country,
what a rough trip you had down
through the blizzard, and the fact
that you'll probably never make it
home tonight. "Yes, must have
been bad," they comment indif-
ferently, then start talking about
television.

' A McDUFF OTTAWA REPORT
FORMULA FOR VICTORY
OTTAWA — The two thousand
delegates who went to Ottawa
to attend the National Liberal
Rally were given questionnaires
when they registered', asking them
how they rated National problems
in the order of urgency. The ma-
jorityment"
s put downbe solved.
as the top problem toe
After unemployment, came
world peace and the threat of an
atomic war. Then in order were
ranked trade, foreign policy, infla-
tion and rising living costs and fin-
ally the uncertain state of the Eco-
nomy.
With these problems on their
minds it did not take the dele-
gates long to get busy and draft
what they hoped would be the vic-
tory formula for the next Federal
election. The delegates were su-
premely confident of victory at the
polls whenever Prime Minister
John Diefenbaker decides to make
the supreme test. The Liberals
were convinced it could be any-
time in the next 18 months.
Federal plan no
tial participation or contg iution.
There was .a vast. contrast from
three year ago when the Coliseum
at Ottawa was the scene of a
National Liberal Convention that
elected Mr. Pearson leader. The • •
rally this winter saw him firmly
installed as leader and the Party
genuinely confident it would win
the next election. But there was a
desire expressed by many dele,
gates that he get out more often
across the country and sell him-
self to those who are not Liberal
supporters now, to make himself • `
better known, not just on, the TV
screen. but in person.
With Gallup Polls showing a re-
surgence of the Liberal Party and
a corresponding drop in the popu-
larity of the Conservatives the
delegates were confident that come
the next campaign they would win. • •
But they must get their message
across to the people. For this the
rally served an important purpose.
It was "covered" by more than
100 newspapers, TV and radio re-
porters, and before the three-day
rally was concluded millions of
words had been written on the con-
fident mood of the party and its •
new program.
It was clear in the discussions
that the Liberals regard trade pol-
icy as among the great issues that
make them distinct from the Con-
servatives, There were a score
of resolutions on this subject be-
fore the policy committee. They
called for freer trade, attacked.
import quotas, arbitrary valua-
tions and other restrictions. They
singled out for special condemna-
tion the recent action increasing
duties on imported cars and they
demanded a reversal of policies re-
stricting imports from Canada's
best wheat customers, the United •
Kingdom, Germany and Japan.
A highlight of the rally was a
stirring . plea delivered by Mr,
Pearn for a resumption of good
relations between. Canada and the
United States. He pointed out that
one essential condition for a bet-
ter world is friendship and good •
relations between the U.S.A. and
the free democracies. The first
objective of those whom we have
reason to fear the most—the Com-
munists—is the destruction of such
good relations.
On defence, Mr. Pearson said a
policy of independence or of co-
operation with allies does not re- •
quire Canada herself to become a
nuclear power. Nor does it re-
quire Canada to continue her pres-
ent role in NORAD. However, Can-
ada should still co-operate closely
with her neighbor in the role of^
air detection, identification and
warning. Sueh'a foreign policy
would strengthen Canada's voice . •
at the United Nations where Mr.
Pearson feels Canada could do
much of its best work.
Mr. Pearson's defence policy was
interpreted as Canadian partici-
pation in NORAD insofar as radar
stations are concerned; " but with-
drawal insofar as jet interceptors •
and the Bomarc anti-aircraft mis-
sile are concerned.
There were disagreements in the
policy committees, especially in
the committees dealing with for-
eign policy; defence; health insur-
ance; and fiscal, monetary and ex-
change
xchange policy'. But these disagree-
ments were in the end resolved in
open discussions which were for
the first time at a Political Con-
vention fully open to the press.
From this point the rally accom-
plished what it set out to do. It en-
abled the brass of the Liberal or-
ganization to get better acquainted
and to learn what the "grass
roots" of the Party were think-
ing. It hammered together a
comprehensive and provocative
policy. It enabled the party or-
ganizers to single out ardent ef-
fective Liberals who will be the
key workers in the next election.
There is no doubt the rally was
a success. The whole Liberal
organization has been strength-
ened. And now .Liberal Leader
Pearson must concentrate on get-
ting out into .the various constitu-
encies to become better known.
At the ,=.;]ally he was preaching
largely to those who are "con-
verted", now he and his follow-
ers must preach to those who
are not now within the Party if
he is to be the next Prime Min-
ister of Canada and start imple-
menting the policies the rally pro-
duced.

• •
Liberal Leader Mike Pearson re-
ceived a standing ovation from the
men and women, who in many
constituences will be the backbone
of the Liberal organizations. He
set the keynote of the rally when
he declared in ringing tones:
"We lost with honor in 1958. We
will win with honor in the next
election."
With that the convention split up
into 21 sub -committees and start-
ed to work on writing policy.
The rally, suggested in the first
place by Mr. Pearson, placed em-
phasis on participation by "Liber-
ally -minded Canadians." Its pur-
pose in Mr. Pearson's own words
was two -fold:
First, to take a searching look
at the problems Canada now is
facing and in an honest endeavour
to discover efficient and intelligent
solutions, to these problems, to re-
exame Liberal policies a n d
where necessary to formulate new
ones.
Second, to bring the party or-
ganization for
tfull
next Federaleefficiency
keep-
ing with their firm 'belief that un-
employment is the prime problem
confronting the nation the dele-
gates soon -came back with a plan.
Throughout the first day the pol-
icy committee worked on it. The
rally' in plenary session the first
night considered the proposals and
they underwent some further re,
finements on the second day.
Here's the Liberal eight -point pro-
gram to cope with unemployment:
1. Cut personal income tax rates
to provide more ready spending
money and stimulate consumer
demands and industrial production.
2. Increase unemployment as-
sistance through supplementary
benefits and higher rates of pay-
ment for those suffering prolong-
ed, hardship.
3. Re -assert Government control
over the Bank of Canada to shift
monetary policy away from credit
restraint, making borrowing eas-
ier at lower interest rates.
4. Allow accelerated deprecia-
tion for business and industry ex-
panding and reequipping.
5. Bring down the value of the
Canadian dollar in relation to oth-
er currency through a "flexible
monetary policy" so as to aid both
the tourist industry and export
trade and discourage. imports.
6. Stimulate construction through
Federal financial aid .to munici-
palities for restoration of -blighted
down -town areas; urban renewal
generally; and an expanded low -
rental housing program.
7. Provide tax incentive, lower.
interest rates, easier credit and
financial help for power, transport
and other facilities in depressed
areas.
8. Enlarge winter works pro-
gram through increased Federal
contributions to municipalities on
a scale graded to need,
The Policy Committee on .unem-
ployment believe that action tak-
en on all these' fronts would get
the economy moving again with
all possible speed, create income
for Canadians and thus increase
tax revenue for Governments. The
Liberals emphasized that .in this
grave emergency with 500,000 Can-
adians out of jobs in November,
action must be taken.
Another policy committee early
in the rally approved in principle
a national health scheme and start-
ed to work on the details of a

The Editor, The Huron Expositor:
I enjoyed the recent article by
Miss Campbell on the early activi-
ties in the Presbyterian Church., It
might interest you to learn that
the devotion to their church by a
couple of people mentioned in the,
article ,is something thathas al-
ways been one of my cherished
memories of home, and their ex-
ample may well have had its effect
on myself.
Twice on Sunday you could set
your watch by the passing of Mr.
and Mrs. Sclater and Mr. and Mrs.
Stewart on their way to church.
They passed our corner at John
and High Streets. •On Wednesday
evenings you could do the same,
but this time it was only the ladies.
It seems to me they never missed,
summer or winter, even if the lat-
ter produced snow three feet deep.
I particularly remember the
ladies: Mrs. Sclater with her rosy
cheeks and delightful brogue, when
she stopped a moment to pass the
time of day with any of us who
happened to be outside; and Mrs.
Stewart with her soft pale cheeks
and kindly smile.
What wonderful people they were,
and the example they set undoubt-
edly had its lasting effect on many
people relative to the devotion and
service to one's religion, whatever
it might be. It was the pattern set
by these good Presbyterians, and
others like them from all churches
at home, that sent to other parts
of the country and the world, young
people with a solid moral back-
ground, from which some might
falter, but which none could for-
get and hence try again.
Again I say, it was of such peo-
ple that 'all of out religious back-
grounds were formed in Seaforth,
and I am sure that of such are
the Kingdom of Heaven.

Which Canadian Town ]las a Latin
Name?
Granus, Alberta, a town 93 miles
south of Calgary and 15 miles
north of Fort Macle:d. As a mar-
ket centre for an extensive wheat -
growing arca, the community was
given the Latin name for grain,
at the suggestion of Malcolm Mac-
kenzie, M.P. It was incorporated
n 1910. Prior •to taking the name
of Granum, the community had
been known as Leavings. because
the old Calgary -Fort Macleod trail
left Willow Creek at this point.
* * * •
It's fortunate that in the real
heart of the country, right in the
interior, there are plenty of us
left: the old breed that meets the
good, old Canadian winter face to
face, looks .it square in the eye,
and talks about it fearlessly and
incessantly.
• None of this lolling about in
heated subway trains for us. We
get out and start our own cars.
And, by George, there's nothing
that will test a man's ingenuity,
mechanical skill and vocabularly,
like starting the old girl after the
mercury has dived below zero ov-
ernight. There's nothing like that
plummet of despair when she just
sort of groans a couple of times
and goes dead: Nor is there any-
thing like that wild surge of joy
Ellen 'you try her one last time,
RIM she coughs into strangulated
life.
There's none of this mincing
around in toe rubbers, for us. The
only time anybody in the great
interior wears toe rubbers is to
the New Year's Eve dance, and
we all lose them that night. Rest
of the time, we wear big rubber
boots, to the knee, trousers, tuck-
ed into them in a: rather dashing
fashion.
There's Mone • of this whining
around on bare pavements or us.

Who Organized the -Dunkirk
E v a cuation?
An outstanding general, who was
to become a Governor General of
Canada, organized the Tamous ev-
acuation from Dunkirk in 1940. He
was General Alexander who, in
company with Montgomery, was
later to plan the great attack at
El Alamein, which proved to be
one of the turning points of the
war. In 1944 he was appointed
commander-in-chief of the Allied
armies in Italy and promoted to
the rank of field marshal. Alexan-
der was appointed Governor Gen:
eral of Canada in August 1945, a
position he filled, including two
extensions at the request of the
Canadian government, until early
1952, when he returned to the
United Kingdom to become min-
ister of national defence. Later
that year he was created Earl
Alexander of Tunis.

In 1889, a year before the pass-
age of the Sherman Anti-Truct
Act in the U.S., parliament pass-
ed an act "to declare the law re-
lating to conspiracies and combin-
ations in restraint of trade, and to
provide penalties for the violation
of the same." This act made it a
misdemeanour to conspire, com-
bine, agree or arrange with any
other person "unlawfully" to limit
"unduly" the production, to en-
hance "unreasonably" the price or
to lessen competition in the pro-
duction or sale of any commodity.
In 1892 this act became a section
of the Criminal Code and the of-
fence was made an indictable one.
Since 1900, when the word "unlaw-
fully" was omitted, it has remain-
ed substantially unchanged. It now
constitutes section 498 of the Crim-
inal. Code_
