~ After the

John Diefenbaker gave his last
hurrah at the Conservative convention,
received for his rhetoric, and rejection
ot the ballot box,

It was classical Greek tragedy, play-
ed out to its inevitable and dismal
conclusion, before the audience of the
Canadian people.

John Diefenbaker has all but passed
fron political life. But instead of the
warm approval that he merited as a
great Canadian, his farewell was his
rejection by the party which he led out
of political obscurity in 1957.

In ten years his determination has
‘degenerated into mere intransigence,
his idealism into petulance,

His rejection was not without honor,
He went down fighting. His visionary
rhetoric made the other candidates’
utterances sound trite,

The choice af Nova Scotia Premier
Robert Stanfield was greeted with

Good music is called square in a run
around society where the dollar is king
and the people accept their entertain-
ment from scruffy young men scream-
ing into omplifiers.

Yet it persists while people will ap-
preciate and finance it.

The association’s members in effect
‘guarantee an audience for classical
musicians who come to. this town. The
memberships pay the bills incurred.

It is something worth doing.

The fact that good music is played
in Terrace does not guarantee that the
citizenry shall be automatically refined,
despite the old chestnut about’ music

delegates who for dubious reasons chase
to ape the meaningless posturing of the
American political rallies.

_Stanfield needs more than the cheers
of Conservatives to help him in his task.
He must regroup a diverse Conservative
Party, whose division was so clearly re-
flected in the potpourri of candidates
who sought the leadership.

Stanfield must offer to the Canadian

People a viabie alternative to the present.

government, not merely to advance the:

fortunes of his party, but to restore to
the Canadian people that choice which
's essential to the democratic system.

The fact that he follows John
George Diefenbaker, the man whose
ideals brought Canservatism out of ob-
scurity, and whose stubbornness has all
but returned the party to ablivion, will
not make Stanfield’s task an easy one.

I would be very grateful if,
through the medivm of your

sincerest thanks to so many
citlzens of Terrace who gave
every assistance possible on the

quite a shock. Subsequently, I
read the account in your
newspaper and received
eye - witness testimony of the
event, It was most gratifying to
hear of the whole - hearted
co-operation of so muny ettizena,
the tremendous efforts of the
