ATTENDED SOCRED CLASS Mr. Thompson's association with Social Credit dates back 30 years to the days when he attended weekly leadership classes conducted by the late William Aberhart, the first ex- nent of Socred monetary eory in Western Canada, In 1943 he went to Ethiopia with a team of doctors and re- mained for 15 years.

That Love-Affair With Moscow Reeks Of French Power-Plans By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer The current flirtation between Moscow and Paris suggests, as Washington has feared, that President de Gaulle may be actively pursuing his threat to seek an entirely new power balance in Europe. The current status of the North Atlantic alliance may be 'aptly described as marriage on the rocks. Countless attempts to get agreement on joint nuclear weapons strategy have failed and the new attempt, to take place in Paris later this month, may be no more successful than those in the, past. Distrust has taken the place of harmony. Both Bonn and Washington fear de Gaulle will make a deal with Soviet Pre- mier Kosygin which would in- yolve containment of West Ger- many's nuclear ambitions. The United States still keeps prom- ising Chancellor Ludwig Erhard a satisfactory role in Western nuclear strategy while British Prime Minister Wilson hems and haws and talks of the more important need of getting a nu- Clear non-proliferation agree- ment with the Soviet Union. Now French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville has visited Moscow and while the joint communique that followed gave no more than a hint of the Paris-Moscow courtship, it was accompanied by the Soviet -Un- jon's offer of summit talks with de Gaulle which he undoubtedly will accept should he continue to preside over the affairs of his country. AWARE OF DIFFERENCES Moscow is well aware of de Gaulle's differences with his NATO allies. The Soviet Union from the Moscow-Peking ideo- logical split than either of his more powerful allies. Johnson has allowed his rela- tions with Kosygin to sag. Dif- ferences over Viet Nam have spread into 'other fields. Even the U.S. - Soviet cultural ex- change appears to be in jeop- ardy. And because of his sup- port of U.S. policy in Viet Nam, Wilson also finds he has no warm friend in Moscow. Britain once considered it had a role of Honest Broker be- tween Moscow and Washington. This was replaced by the pri- vate relationship between for-' mer Soviet Premier Khrushchev and the late U.S. President Ken- nedy, Now when it seems the position of Honest Broker once again might be available, it may fall to de Gaulle instead of Wilson.

(AP)--A geologist's curiosity about an interesting ledge of rocks in the Canadian Arctic may have yielded the oldest animal re- mains ever round, The fossils are believed to be at least -720,000,000 years old-- pushing back the known dates of animal life by at least 120,- 000,000 years. The discovery was described today by Prof. Andrew H. Mc- Nair of the Dartmouth College geology department of the Ge- ological Society of America's annual meeting. The fossilized remains are of small, clamlike creatures called brachiopods. They may be even older than 720,000,000 years since the age - telling process called radio-dating establishes only a minimum, In the same ledge were sev- eral kinds of fossilized tracks and trails made by burrowing wormlike animals and small tubes and spines of an unknown species.

(AP) Canadian Acrctic 'May Hold Oldest Fossils MeNair said, '"'But when I did, I knew how gold prospectors felt when they stumbled across the mother lode." Previous fossil finds have' shown advanced species such jas the brachiopods existed in the Cambrian era which began about 600,000,000 years ago. The only life known previously was that of simple aquatic plants and the minute reproductive spores of plants. In the time clock of life on earth, dinosaurs didn't appear until 200,000,000 years ago and mammals --. characterized by hair and blood--were relative newcomers 60,000,000 years ago. Human beings date back 1,000,- 000 years or so. SET TIME OF CHANGE Geologists believe a sudden ologists feel the earliest anl- mals with specialized organs and tissues could have devel- oped only after oxygen became plentiful.
