But coming as it does from a mind as keen^as Lord Russeh's, the statement might well be received with are interested in their own ultimate fate. By nature of the cenununist state it would seem that the power to make decisions for the whole communist world is vested in one man. The U.S-, Congress and Senate last week gave like powers to President Eisenhower. If Lord Russell is correct in his evaluation of present international trends, the whole future of the human race lies in the hands of two individuals, the supreme heads of the two opposing factions in the world today. Let's hope they are both aware of the gravity of their decisions * I close with the singing of a hymn. The remainder of the afternoon was spent quilting. Supper was served at the close by Mrs. Harvey McMichael I and Mrs, Win. H^rt< who arranged the I meeting.
