Despite some nimble foot- work by Ambassador George Ignatieff in the United Nations Security Council, Ottawa was generally slow to react, and less than adequate in its re- sponse. External Affairs Minister Mitchell Sharp was particular- ly inept in his initial choice of terms to describe the Soviet occupation move. “Regrettable,” he called it, but not a matter of such con- cern as to imperil the peace of the world. Prime Minister Trudeau was holidaying in Majorca when the news reached Ottawa, Transport Minister Paul Hellyer was oc- cupying the hot seat. But for all the good his presence did, he might just as well have gone away as well. (Continued from Page 2) and ceiling is of sticks and thatch.

It wasn’t until the following day, with the news wires burn- ing all around the world, that anyone bothered to alert Mr. Trudeau at his holiday retreat.

But by the time he reached‘ Ottawa, the damage had beeni done by his political lieuten-‘ ants. There was nothing to do but issue a critical note to the occupying powers, and instruct the UN delegation to pour on the heat in the Security Coun- cil.

Life In Africa As A CUSO Volunteer Canada's ambassador to Prague, former newsman Mal- colm Bow, wasn’t at his post when the invasion took place. Curiously, he was home in Canada, attending a conference on international affairs in Banff, where he spoke reassuringly about the Czech situation a day or two before Moscow moved to crush the country‘s liberal- ization drive. Canadian news agencies like- wise were caught flat-footed by the precipitate (but hardly un- expected) Soviet action. The Canadian Press, which keeps a full time correspond- ent in Moscow, never did get to the scene of the action. It re- iied instead on second-hand re- ports from the wires of the Asâ€" sociated Press (American) and Reuters (British).

Southam newspapers were trapped in similar fashion with staff men in London and Paris on holiday simultaneously. By good fortune Paris correspond- ent Tim Creery heard the news at his vacation retreat and dashed into action. He and the Toronto Telegram’s Peter Worthington, dispatched from home base, arrived in Prague by the weekend. Creery, how- ever, came out to Austria again to file his copy and found him- self unable to return. Meanwhile at the United Na- tions, Canada acted belatedly to condemn the violation of Czech- oslovald-a’s sovereignty. And by speaking forthrightly and blunt- ly to the Soviet representative, Ambassador Jacob Malik. Can- ada’s Mr. Ignatieff found him- self singled out for special abuse.

Oil is four shillings. 4c per quart and must be changed every thousand miles because of “Second-rate imperialist" was the charge hurled at the Can- adian diplomat by the angry Russian. He accused Mr. Igm natieff of fronting for the Un- ited States and Britain in press- ing a resolution calling on See- retary-General U Thant to send a fact-finding representative to Prague to assure the safety of Czechoslovakia‘s liberal leaders. The epithet didn’t upset Am- bassador Ignatieff, a Russian- born Canadian who left his motherland as a child. He can speak Russian fluently, but didn’t need to resort to it to make his disapproval of the Soviet action clear. The Canadian resolution was never pressed to a vote because the Czechs themselves sorted things out in a face-to-face con- frontation with Russian leaders in the Kremlin. But it remains on the Sec- urity Council agenda for im- mediate attention should condi- tions warrant it. Having been caught napping on this occasion, it is to be hoped that Canadian diplomacy will be more alert to a similar happening in future. It seems unlikely that it would have occurred in such fashion under the regime of in- ternationally - minded Lester Pearson. Nor would the veter- an Paul Martin have let it slip through his fingers. But Mitchell Sharp. having dropped a considerable clanger in his first East Block crisis, can perhaps be counted on to act with more sureness and dispatch the next time an in- ternational conflagration oc- curs. ;‘ Rambling Around Miss Baxter has always taken a great pride in the grounds. It has become a select little woodland. The trees are about forty years old and were planted there by the late Nelson Smellie of Thornhill. l l 1 There’s variety in the contrast of green and blue spruce, cedars and an interesting basswood. Makes you think of basswood honey. Hearsay tells ‘ me that there were some local bees who took advant- age of that very tree.

The institute wants to build a swimming pool if the gov- ernment will provide the money. Most of the fisheries students don't know how to swim and they can't swim in the lake â€" so maybe we‘ll get a pool. I‘ve spent a few half days at Rosary sewing and work- ing on lesson preparation.

It was bought in 1929 by Mrs. John Baxter and her two daughters, Miss Sidney Baxter and the late Mrs. George H. D. Lee. Mrs. Lee’s daughter Edith Godfrey and Miss Sidney Baxter live together. They love the relative seclusion and appreciate the green .spots provided by Thornhill Park on one side and by the Thornhill Golf and Country Club on the other. On the north side is a caregana hedge. This is a good looking shrub with dense foliage. It produces yellow flowers resembling the sweet pea. Miss Bax- ter said that the caregano was a shrub which proved to be very useful on the prairies. It grew fast and served as an effective windbreak. One of the portraits on the wall was that of John Baxter. father of Miss Sidney and grandfather to Mrs. Godfrey. Mr. Baxter had a long and disting- uished political life in the City of Toronto. He was The pink hollyhocks at the back of the house offer a startling contrast to the wealth of green.

He was made an alderman in 1864 and remained in that office until 1890. He was then appointed assistant- police magistrate, a position which he held until his death in 1895. John Baxter was one of the founders of the industrial exhibition now known as the ONE. His wife was Mary Bales, a member of the well known Bales family which has played important roles in the community and farm life of York County. The paternal homestead still stands on the property of the York Downs Golf Club. :Iohn Bexter was also grandfather to Sir Bev-’ erley Baxter, a well- known British journalist whose London Letter was in Maclean's Magazine for so many years Other close relatives are Dalton Bales QC, Ontario Minister of Labor and the internationally honored portrait painter and illustrator, the late Dorothy Stevens. Her work was exhibited in London, Paris and the US, the Toronto, National and Edmonton Art Galleries. She is famous for her portraits of Canadian women. She was a fine illus- trator and her work can be appreciated in Katherine Hale’s books, “Canadian Cities of Romance” and “Historic Houses of Canada.” J-LJQUULAD ALVMUVV v- vâ€"nvv-" She is also remembered for her six etchings of the Canadian War Memorial.

Joseph Rabinowitch, lawyer-actor-sculptor, ap- peared in the final production at the Red Barn Theatre, Jackson’s Point. He played the part of Mr. Martin in the melodrama “Murder in the Red Barn”. Directed by Peter Boretski, the play was a great success with the audience hissing and booing the villain in the required manner. Helping to swell the audiences throughout the season were members of the National Ballet School who spent the summer at Lakeview House in Jackson’s Point.

Joe and Ruth Rabinowitch’s sons, David and Royden, both established sculptors who had shows in Toronto art galleries last winter, have added an- other feather to their caps. When Waterloo Uni- versity held a competition to select a sculptor to conduct a “sculpt-in” in October for two weeks, David and Royden submitted a joint project. Their work was chosen, and they will be working with about sixty students, inspiring them with a fresh approach to sculpturing.

Until now, there were eight grades in primary school. now. only seven. Education is in Swa- hili, â€"â€" English is taken as a subject in grades 6. 7 and 8. But in high school, all instruction is in English. So, now that there’s no grade 8, the students have less Eng- lish and need a crash course. My dates are December 10-24, which break up the holiday “nicely". The weather is great â€"â€" hot and sunny, actually a little too hot (85 degrees) around noon. No rain until about November.
