Clinton News-Record, 1957-04-25, Page 2Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minis- ter of India,, according to Mission- aries and western visitors to India, repeatedly declares himself on the side of freedom of religion even in the fate of some strong opposition. Christianity and the Church's pro.- gram there has always had his blessing. A conversation between Gandhi, Nehttl's parent in polities and his friend, Lord Irwin, former Vice-, rot' of India, ran as fellows: "Ma- hatina, AS man to man tell, me what you consider to be the solu- tion of your country and mine," Taking up a little book from the nearby lampstand, Mandl opened it to the fifth Chapter of St Matt. hew and replied, "When your 'country and mine shall get to- gather on the teachings laid down by Christ let the Sermon on the Mount we shall have solved the problem, not only of our countries but those of the whole world," That from a Hindu! In Asian countries that have taken on a greater degree of dependence recently, there has been an increasingly greater sale of Bibles. Only 28 pertent, of /the Christ- isles of Asia (0,000,000) can read so far'. No translation of the Bib- le exisits as yet for 7,000,000 who speak a total of 84 languages. The church throughout the world As welt as in Asia, must ant ouiekly to publish the truths re- ferred to by Gandhi as the cure for the world's ills, 'while freedom of religion has government faw our in that whole area, „Suggested readings for the week: Sunday Mark 16: 12() Monday ....

It made me sad. Oh, not because was sorry I don't fly any more. One of the happiest moments of my life was when somebody shot my noisy Pegasus out from under me, back in '44, and after crunch- ing it into a plowed field ,on the wrong side of the lines, I realized there was' .a good chance I'd never have to climb aboard one of those bellowleg, fearsome meaeters * * During my flip the other day, the pilot was testing some new radio equipment installed at the local airport. I'd had some idea of the giant strides made in the use of radio in air navigation, but was astounded to find what a push-button affair it has become, They've taken all the salt out of flying. Finding your way through the footless halls of air is about as tough as running one of those modern electric stoves with all the buttons and bells on them. • * DENTISTRY WP.41441.

It was rugged, One day I was up in a Spitfire, on a routine training-flight, Low cloud came in and I got lost, Aft- er panicking around the sky for a while, I got hold of myself, set course, and flew steadily in the right direction. When I figured I was right over the airport, 'I let down carefully through cloud, There, to my delight, was the air- port, with the shining exPanSe of the Mersey River proving I was in the right spot. Do you know what the "Mersey" was? It was the English Channel, just 180 miles due south of where I was - sup- posed to be. Another 20 minutes and I'd have landed in France, beating D-Day by almost a year. * * Then there was the time I was night-flying in a Spit. Right after take off, I was lost. I batted a- round the country for a while, looking below. I was just about to bail out when, to my infinite joy- I spotted a row of barely dis- cernible lights. It was the flare- path at the 'drome. I came in carefully and was just about to touch down when I realized the flarepath was moving. It turned out to be a convoy of trucks, with dimmed lights, that I was trying to land on. I was so shaken that I pulled up and DID bale out, later reporting I'd been shot down by a nightfighter, * When- I got on operations, the C.O, realized I was a little weak in navigation, SO he let me fly as his No. 2. Everything went fine after that. Except for the clay I lost him. We were dive-bombing a railway bridge, As usual m bombs, about• $8,000 worth, lande harrelessly in a field half a mil off the 'target, When I pulled ou of my dive, the, C.O. was' nowhe to be seen. I was flabbergasted and had visions of winding up i Yugo-Slavia or somewhere, if bad to go home alone. * * Then I spotted him, high an about two miles away, and m heart leapt with relief, I poure on the coal, climbed up behind hi slid under his tail and into tigh formation, I turned to grin a' him and show him he couldn' shake me 'off that easily. H turned his head to me at the sam time, I don't know who was th more surprised, Obergrappenfu hrer Pfeffenschnorkel of the Luf waffe, sitting there in his Me serschmitt, or*yo4uretruly. We parted with mutual consen and incredible alacrity. But that' what*I mean. With all the nee gadgets, pilots will know when they are all the time, and wi miss a lot of good, clean fun.

Just as surely as the farmer, the schoolteacher and the preacher took the Wild out of the Wild West, the radio expert and physicist are taking the Wild out of the Wild Blue Yonder. You loll back in the cockpit, smoking a cigar and hurtling a- long in the general directipn of the airport. When you start to get bored, you push a button, and there is the comforting voice of your friendly radio announcer, He tells you where you are and what course to fly. You set the course on your compass and head in on the beam. 'The only thing that's lacking is a blonde angel to fly out, meet you, and hold your hand during the landing. * * Well, maybe` it's not quite that simple, but it's a far cry from the guess-and-gamble system of nav- igation in vogue when I learned to fly, Ali navigation was one of my weak points, anyway. I never had any trouble getting from one place to another. But "another" very often turned out to be some place I wasn't going. * * * On my very .first solo cross- country flight, I had trouble. It was a triangle flight: St. Cathar- ines-Hamilton-Toronto-St. Cathar- ines. I. was doing famously. Tor- onto was quite a sight from the air, so I did a couple of circles, to have a good look. Then I set off for St. Catharines, being care- ful to keep the shoreline of Lake Ontario in' sight, so I couldn't get lost. I landed safely and happily. At Oshawa, 70 air miles from home. Seems I had kept the shoreline on my left instead of my right, e After that, I used to look at my compass, but it didn't seem to help much, I got lost practically every time I went up, unless I was fly- ing in formation. Alone, I would just fly around aimlessly, peer- ing anxiously at the perplexing maze of rivers and roads below. When I found a railroad, I'd go down low- and fly along it until I came to a town with a water-tank. rat. N. W.

BANANOQUE HAMILTON BRANTfORD TORONTO WIIgI ELDOILION DAY only seven weeks off, the official announcement of June 10, set Off a good deal of activity throughout the nat- ion, In Clinton as elsewhere the first rumblings of the pre-election tempo, which gradually to its climax on election day, were the quiet surveys of the enumerators. Enumerators are the counters. They count the number of voters, and at the same time compile lists of names of those eligible to vote. • All parties, even the most insignificant ones, are claiming that the Norman case is not election campaign material. However, each of the minorities, are taking the opportunity to 'state their opinion (and in some cases it is I quite low opinion) of the government,' and the many ramifications of the situation. • The .government, meanwhile, is elahning in- nocence, and individual members of the Liberal party are busily preparing and publishing state- ments concerning the case: 'The Norman suicide Was an unfortunate Ockurrence. .No one could possibly say other- wise. That a man shOuld'be driven by the per- 'seaution. of others, or by his own thoughts, to bis death, is a horrible thought to all people. THIS IS AN open letter to a boy, -abaft 18, who forced me off the road while cutting in Sharply and passing me on a hill yesterday af- ternoon: "Dear Son: You may think you are a good 'driver, and perhaps you are. 'But I'd like yoti to keep in mind that most of your "skillful" driving is due to other motorists, "Anybody can Whip along the road as fast and as carelessly as you were going, There's no trick to that — the new cars are loaded with power and pickup — too much so, I'm afraid. "Just remember that it was my alertness that prevented an accident on the,hill, not yours. And the driver who /was approaching also' had to brake suddenly and swerve in order to save your life and his. "It is not your courage or dexterity that leept you alive as long as this, but the prudence and politeness of other motorists. You have been trading on our good will and sense of self-preservation. "I wish it were possible to point out to you that y$ur kind of driving is nothing but bad manners — it is not heroic, or adventurous or manly. "Suppose you ran, down a crowded street, pushing people out of the way, knocking pack- ages put of ladies' hands and kicking children into the gutter. What would be so heroic or manly about that? "Nothing of course. Then why do you sup- pose that having 2,000 pounds of steel under you makes it any better? . There's nothing to be proud of in driving fast — any fool can do These lists are then printed in many copies, and are posted, in the post office, and other ac- cessible points, for electors to view and check for errors and omissions. It is the responsibil- ity of the voter to make sure his name is on the list. It is too early yet for local campaigns to be under way very strongly, but both candidates have been quietly laying the groundwork and making plans for battle. That he should be an ambassador of Canada, in a troubled part of the world—and that it should happen on the eve of an election, adds to the importance of the event. That, however, this act of suicide should be used as a political weapon or defence, seems a cruel torture to the man's survivors. All too often in this modern world, innocent people must suffer mental hurts, as the result of cir- cumstances beyond their own control. We offer sympathy to Mr. Norman's relatives, On the other hantl should the investigations which come out of this situation, discover and provide a means to prevent similar or worse situations occurring, then we think neither Mr Norman nor his relatives will regret it. ' Our main concern is that in - the heat of pre-election argument and determination, that sense of values may be Jost, and that truth may be stretched to fit a need. If this is so, then Mr. Norman's death may serve no good purpose at all, but may indeed harm our nation, t 'es:el . 4.1 that. It's a form of cowardice to threaten other drivers, ,not courage. "Suppose you beat me at the gateway, or up the hill? Nothing, except that car you bought is faster. You didn't make it; it's a commercial product. Anybody can buy one like it — and anybody can drive with maniacal dis- regard for safety. `""So don't take any pride in your deadly ac- complishments, A. real man is considerate and polite — and takes chances only when it counts, when his honer and conscience 'call 'out for it. On the highway most of all, it's easy to tell the men from. the boys — for the men have to save ' the boys from the consequences of their fool- ish, and needless bravado."—Sydney J. Harris in the Chicago- Daily News. PRAYER LORD, make me an instrument of Thy peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; end where there is sad- ness, joy, 0 Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be eanderstood, as to under- stand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. —St. Francis.
