MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION In searching for a world order, we are looking for the means by which all the peoples of the world can live and work in something of the same orderly manner, Although this depends basically on human co-operation, it cannot exist without con- trols which serve to enforce a degree of order, The real trouble for the world stems from the fact that we don't know which of the two great world powers are going to enforce the order. This is essentially the basis of the struggle between Russia and the United States--a struggle to be the winner and therefore the side which provides the order for world government. The only alternative to this struggle is the eventual triumph of the United Na- tions as the authority for world govern- ment. The Russians regard the United Nations as a world forum for the propagation of its own propaganda; the United States sees the U.N. as a rather weak federation of states upon which she seeks to impose her policies through power politics. Unless we can. change such views re- garding the United 'Nations the -world hangs suspended over the very pit of an- nihilation. The United Nations should be seen as a very great instrument or means for the establishing of a world order. With a _very strong secretariat and taking its just powers from the consent of the General The 1962 Election Everybody is convinced that we are go- ing to have an election this year. Just when, nobody but John Diefenbaker seems to know. He isn't telling. . Not at the moment anyway. Well, their is an elec- tion on the way. Who is going to win? Diefenbaker may be able to tell us when the election will come. You can be pretty sure that he can't-tell you who is going to win it. As a matter of fact, it could well end up in stalemate, The Liberals have suffered no great re- vival--the Gallop poll notwithstanding-- Bul they can certainly count on a great upswing in Quebec. The New Democratic Party may add enough votes to the sub- stuntial C.C.F. voting power to crash through with a good sprinkling of seats throughout the country. Then, too, the Conservatives have managed to antagon-_ .

In order to get this sort of United Na- tions we shall have to begin to think of what the truly fundamental values ave for human beings throughout the world. It is only from the discovery of such values that the authority and action of a respon- sible United Nations can develop. So far we have, in all states and nations, sought to establish order on the basis of our own exclusive values. There is no common commitment in the cause of all humanity. Every time our national interest appears to be in conflict with humanitarian interests, the latter are rationalized away. Both Great powers are guilty of this. So are the little powers. The world is filled with mutual distrust and fear. We seek solace and reassurance in the spending of one hundred and twenty million dollars a day on armaments. And in the meantime, the underprivileged are neglected unto death because we will not, because we think we dare not, pour our money and our energies into achieving the well-being of all peoples. ' There is no world peace because there is no world authority and there is no world authority because we are too frightened to affirm our humanity. The world faces a difficult and a com- plex problem of human existence, but the crux of the problem lies in the values to which we give expression, ize certain provinces in the past year and are apt to lose what might have been solid support. Pee 2 The Conservatives ave going to lose a lot of strength. That seems indisputable. The Liberals are going to gain some. The question mark is with the New Democrati ~ Party. How will they fare? - a If they do well, then you can be pretty. sure that the Conservatives are not going to have an overall majority in the House. We don't know when the election is ac- tually going to be scheduled. We do know that when it does happen it shoud prove to be a very lively one. This is all to the good for Canadian poli- tics at its best is pretty dull and at its worst almost unbearable. The election of 1962 introduces something new in Cana- dian politics. Perhaps, it marks a turn- ing point.

LINDSAY HOSPITAL MAY HIRE WEST INDIES NURSES _ Nurses from the West Indies may be hired for the Ross Memorial Hos- pital, it was disclosed at 'a meeting of the hospital board last week. The board was discussing the diffi- -culty-in- getting nursing staff, and it was explained that nurses from Eng- land could only be obtained through 'agencies, which charged the hospital 6 for each nurse hired. Eric Freeborn, administeator of the hospital asked for at least 10 more nurses, and h& said that if West In- dian nurses were hired it would be better to get them after they had spent about a year in England, ~~ "They have a better training and be fully screened then," he explained. It was decided by the board that Mr, Freeborn make arrangements for obtaining six nurses from English and Charles Hadden of Blackwater,| 2 Nn Wed- | nursing in Oshawa hospitals, it was | Mr. Freeborn stated that only 48 percent of the present staff were pro- fessionals. The percentage advocated by the Ontario Hospital Agsociation was 60 percent. Mr. Freeborn reported that students of the Certified Nursing Asssitants School were now entering the practi. cal portion of their training. ~~ The administrator said that admis- sions during November were down slightly from the previous month. Clipped Comments -- RUMORS of a general-election this year persist, in spite of the fact that the present government can legally retain office until 1963. Decision on whether to call an election this year or not is admittedly difficult. Much depends on what measures are intro- duced in parliament in the next few]: months, and on the public reaction to them. A survey made by the Gallup Poll indicates that there is a growing belief that the Conservatives have not done a good job of keeping election promises. Two years ago ahout half the electorate thought that thagovern- ment's record in this respect had been .good, In the latest poll only 29 per cent describe the record as good and 31 per cent say it is poor, -Loas of populexity de tobe expected by any government after a few. years in office. The great seats won by the Conservatives at the general election of 1068 probably could not be retained even if every promise made in the election cam- | for. paign had been kept, a manifest im- possibility: since. some election prom. ises made by-any party ave: al to some extent contradictory of others. Result of another Gallup Poll of Canadien opinipn is of some political interest. In this the pollers asked: "As yow know, Prime Minister Dief- enbaker has said that the mast fed. eral election will be fought on free ority. of Anblintsh mgr. Anglican Notes ~ By Mary Becker This is Week of Prayer, an annual event observed by a number of church- es in our community. Last night a Joint service was held in the United Church. The members of our Young Peoples' and choir took part in the mixed choir for thé service. The Young Peoples' will meet to- night (Thursday) at 8 p.m. in the parish hall and there will also be a Church 8chool Teachers' Meeting. On Saturday afternoon the Teenage Discussion Group is holding a tobag- ganing and skiing party. The Afternoon Guild met last Tues- day. After the reading of minutes and treasurer's report, the group made plans for a Valentine Tea and Home Bake 8ale to be held on Saturday, February 10th from«2.30 to 5 p.m. Donations of home baking for this event will be welcomed. The After- noon Guild also voted a sum of money towards the purchase of new stacking chairs and tables for the church hall. Members of the parish are reminded District Churches SCUGOG, MANCHESTER PROSPECT UNITED CHURCHES Considering the icy roads on Sunday I last, we had a very good congrega- tion at Seugog. The Services at Man- chester and Prospect were concelled. We shall therefore have to set a new date for the Inaugural Service for the United Church Women, which will be on Sunday, January 21st. We shall hope for better weather, and look for- ward to a wonderful gathering of our Ladies. This coming Sunday, January 14th the Minister has been invited to preach at Bobcaygeon, and their Min- ister will take the Services here. And then on the last Sunday of the month, January 28th the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be administered. This is the week when we hold our Annual Congregational Meetings. On Wednesday afternoon the Prospect congregation will meet in the Church; and in the evening the Manchester congregation will meet at 8.00 p.m. On Friday evening the Island will that a goal of 650 stacking chairs and 10 tables has been set, and that indi-| viduals who would like to do so, are | urged to donate a chair or any contri- | bution to this fund. All donations are being collected by Mrs. A. Allen. This furnituré is much nceded to re- place worn out pieces and to enable us to-use more than one room of the hall at a time without either a short- age of chairs, or a great deal of mov- ing furniture up and down stairs. Prodeeds of the euchre evenings are being used for this purpose also. There was a meeting of the Wo-' men's Auxiliary on Tuesday, January 9th, which we will report next week.' The next euchre will be held on Thurs., Jan. 18th at 8.30 p.m. Admission to the cuchres is 60 cents per person, and refreshments are served. The Evening Guild met on Monday night at the parish hall, with the president, Mrs. Boothman, in the ¢hair. Mrs. Boyd read minutes of the last meeting, after the opening prayer and Miss Jarrett gave the financial; report for 1961. The group consider- ed a possible fund-raising project, and the :ccretary was asked to write for further information. Also considered was a request for catering to a wed- ding reception in June. A menu was given consideration, and a price quot- od for the event. The members count- '#d labels saved toward the coffee urn, and also took inventory of the church dishes. The secretary is to write the Board of Management for permission to paint some rooms in the church hall. 'Next meeting will be on Jan. 22nd at Mrs. Porter's. . - ~ It is hoped that there will be a better response to the recently-formed women's prayer group in the new year. This group meets briefly in the church each Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. for private prayer for the sick and for other needs of the members of the parish. All women of the Church of the Ascension are urged to -| participate In this prayer and healing ministry of the church. ~The annual Vestry meeting is sche- duled for Monday night, January 29th. proaching various members of the parish to ask them to stand for a number of church offices. We hope all who are asked will give. serious thought to serving the church in this way. The Girls' Auxiliary will meet on Monday after school. .

To this 51 per cent answer- od that they. couldn't say. Asked how they would describe socialism, 55 per cent gave the same answer. Thus, if an election 'were called at present and the issue were as stated by Mr. Diefenbaker, more than half of the 'electorate would be voting in confessed ignorance of what they were voting "The percentages cited may seem alarming, but really they are not un- manual, Political ignorance or inno- tence is probably chareteristic of the majority of Canadiang at any time, and may not be more prevalent here than in other countries. The task of (politicians is to convert the ignorant ito their cause by setting concrete 1s- 'nes; before them to appeal to their Anterests, passions or prejudices. ~The Letter Review.
