$6 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, July 28, 1961 CCF LEADER BUSY MAN Hazen Argue, national CCF leader, keeps a busy schedule as he campaigns for leader- ship of the New Party which holds its founding convention in Ottawa starting July 31. Mr. Argue combines a quick shave with a glance at the latest news. (CP Photo) Glaciers Cover Much Of Earth WASHINGTON Glaciers that covered much of the earth during the Ice Age left lasting effects in climate and geog- raphy. Four times the great ice sheets ground down from the polar regions. First Canada and Scandinavia, then parts of Europe and the United States were submerged in the inexor- able flows, miles thick in places. The ice extended over 28 per of Bunji by planting a new gla- cier. They began by selecting a favorable spot above 16,000 feet and digging a deep pit. Then relay teams of villagers carried a large slice of ice from a near-by glacier and buried it VE A -------- ng ---- a Ideal Setting For Painters VENCE, France (CP)--Circled by fragrant orchards and fields of poppies, this little village on a spur of the Maritime Alps has 3 powerful attraction for tour- sts.

Vence is only a few miles from the Mediterranean, the coastal city of Nice, and the gaming tables of Monaco. Aging Russian master Marc Chagall, 72, the forerunner of surrealism, lives here. Not far away in Biot, Cubist master Pablo Picasso and Fernand Le- ger, another Cubist - school great, do their work. A Canadian artist also has chosen this as his workshop. Jean Dallaire, 45, of Hull Que., a member of the sur- realist school, was painting as usual when I threaded my way to his quarters on a narrow, shadowy Vence street. I had seen Dallaire's sketches in Montreal, where they are ex- hibited at the Galerie Dresdnere on downtown Crescent street. IMAGINATIVE WORKS His pointed and imaginative works seemed at times to be inventions rather than carica- tures of living persons. Dallaire showed me his latest work. "Do you see this woman in blue and rose, an old hunch- backed English tourist with a parasol?" he said, pointing to a canvas. "You find it odd that I have chosen such a subject? "It pleases me to find my painting intrigue people be- cause this obliges them to think." Dallaire is under contract to Simon Dresdnere, operator of the Montreal gallery, and likes the idea.

The last major ice sheet may bave retreated only 10,000 years ago. FORMED FROM SNOW Today a tenth of the earth's|20 years, the life of P. G. Wode- surface still lies under ponder- ous ice. Antarctica and Green- land account for most of it, but small, mountain glaciers glisten in many parts of the world. Any local climatic changes, such as greater snowfall and lower tem- peratures, affect these small ice fields. Glaciers are still being form- ed by snow accumulating on gentle slopes. Weight presses the lower layers into clear, granular fce. Like frozen rivers they flow down mountain sides. Glaciers that meet the sea ealve treacherous icebergs. The glant blocks break off and fol- low wandering currents deep into shipping lanes. Weather conditions over the last century suggest a warming trend. The icecaps on Antarctica and Greenland appear to be shrinking. However, some scientists be- Neve that the earth may be ap- proaching the peak of a warm interglacial period.

Jeeves Creator Now Exonerated LONDON (CP)--For the last house has been clouded by a wartime charge of collaboration with the Germans. Now, as the creator of the in- imitable Jeeves approaches his 80th birthday, an attempt has been 'made to clear the air and forget old quarrels, The appeal to let bygones be bygones comes from an author of equal stautre--satirist Evelyn Waugh. In a radio broadcast later published in The Sunday Times, he exonerates Wode- house from the collaboration charges and pays a glowing trib- ute to his colleague's creative ability. The basis of the charge is a series of five radio broadcasts Wodehouse made from Berlin in 1941. Earlier he had been taken prisoner at his villa in Le Tou- quet, France. REACTION WAS MIXED The broadcasts, heard by only a few in England, were followed by a denunciation originating from the British ministry of in- formation. Among other things the attack accused Wodehouse of having "fallen on his knees and worshipped Hitler." British reaction to the charges Wodehouse's imagination and claimed to have found amid the potty earls and terrifying maiden aunts 'the embryo of the Fascist mentality." However, most of Britain's| leading writers protested against the attack and continued, to support Wodehouse through-| out the war. { TEACUP TEMPEST | In 1954 the full texts of the Berlin broadcasts were printed) for the first time.

Waugh praises the 'sacred| flame" of the humorist's imagi-| nation and the brilliance of his style which seems to flow ef- fortlessly but in fact involves a great deal of hard work.

Winnipeg Alderman Dave Mulligan said he plans to sug- gest a similar reform to city council. And R. H. C. Bonny- castle, chairman of the metro- politan council of Greater Win nipeg, says Metro "might very well consider it." Ald. Mulligan said he has al- ways considered the mailed vote "a very excellent idea." Patients in hospital, he said, are bona fide ratepayers 'and they should certainly have an opportunity to express them- selves on public issues. In many cases they are much better in- formed on current affairs than the average voter, because they digest the news more thor- oughly." OTHERS INTERESTED Mayors in other metropolitan Winnipeg centres agreed the change was a step forward. Mayors Joseph P. Guay of St. Boniface, Thomas Copeland of Transcona, Fred Brennan of St. Vital and G. N. Suttie of East Kildonan all said they would like to consider the move after Jetting more details from St. a mes. | . Alderman J. T.

Bourke, said he received several calls from patients at Deer Lodge who were unable to leave the hospital to vote. "I talked the idea over with Mayor Thomas Findlay and we decided to find out just how they handled it in Britain," said Ald. Bourke. City council then got together with Douglas Stanes, the area's member in the Manitoba legis- lature. The city first planned to ask for mailed voting by both groups -- hospital patients and shut - ins -- but decided one change was better than none. The amendment passed the legislature without opposition last spring. ""We're planning to ask for the other amendment next year, and perhaps for voting by proxy, which is also allowed in Britain," said Ald. Bourke.

SECOND THOUGHTS Only one opposing voice has so far been raised against Waugh's appeal--that of Wil- liam Connor, better known as the Daily Mirror's columnist Cassandra. Connor was the mouthpiece through which the government denounced Wode- house 20 years ago. "My denunciation was harsh and bitter," he writes now. '"'Seen in the perspective of time I would not use the same words. But the years have not di minished the fact that a terrible blunder was made." Connor says Wodehouse made his broadcasts at a time when defeat for Britain was "near, very near." The Englishman's presentation of the German soldier as a "harmless, polite chap coming over the garden wall" was exactly the impres- sion Hitler wanted to create in a hesitating United States. Connor says he has since met Wodehouse in New York, where the author now lives, and "we get on famously." The best thing now is "to bury the whole story, forgive and, where neces- sary, be forgiven." Connor quotes a recent letter from Wodehouse saying he was "embarrassed" and would do what he could to stop the matter being brought up again. "And what the hell!" Wodehouse says in the letter. "It's 20 years ago."
