New Play Parallels
Diplomats Suicide

TORONTO, Ontario, Nov. 30
R.-A new Canadian play
which borrows its plot from the
suicide of a Canadian diplomat
in Egypt has had its premiere
here and is expected to be
played next spring in Montreal.
The play is Bright Sun at
Midnight" by John Gray.
1t sets out the problem of a
Canadian Foreign Secretary in
deciding how to explain the
suicide in India of a Canadian
diplomat who had been sub
jected to charges of Communist
leanings by a United States
Senate subcommittee.
The plot parallels the suicide
of Herbert Norman, Canadian
Minister to Egypt. early this
year.
John Drainie. whose playing
of the minister won plaudits
from critics. is faced with the
choice of scuttling the memory
OF his late friend or bucking
party policy which dictates that
the issue must be CLOSED over
because elections are in the
offing. /
The entire play is set in a
Parliament Hill Office with a
view of Canada's peace tower
through arched windows.

James c. Hagerty told news
men yesterday afternoon that
the President first informed
him q little after 10 am. that
he was going TO escort Mrs.
Eisenhower to the II am. serv-
ices at National Presbyterian

/ desire for advance secrecy-was
it because Of any concern that
Mr.. Eisenhower felt he might
not be able to go ct the last
minute?
Mr.. Hagerty replied that the
President always has believed
that when he goes to church
he goes "as an individual citi-
zen to worship his God and not
with q whole flock Of reporters
and photographers"
A tip that the President was
planning to 60 to church
reached some newspapers
shortly before 1880 am. from
sources outside the White
House.
| One reporter, unable to con-
tact Mr.. Hagerty Immediately.
asked q Secret Service man
about the report. He denied it.
But nevertheless some news
papers and press services sent
reporters and photographers
to the church on the chance
that Mr.. Eisenhower might
show up.
Lucky Newsreel Man
Only one newsreel camera
man was there when Mr.. Eli
senhower arrived--and he got
as big a surprise as anybody.
The cameraman had gone to
the church just to make some
pictures outside the Presidents
church on Thanksgiving Day. A
Secret Service agent asked him
excitedly. who tipped you
off?"
The cameraman started to
ask. Tipped of to what?" when
he saw the Presidents limousine
drive up.
| Then, Of course, he swung his
camera into action.
Newsmen regularly covering
the White House were in a
press conference with Mr..
Hagerty when the President
left for church.
Hagerty Breaks News
Mr.. Hagerty called this con-
ference at 10:42 am. He made
some announcements, talked
about the surprisingly rapid
rate of the Presidents recov~rv,
stalled Ground in response 10
several questions and then
close to II am. came an inter-
ruption.
Miss Mary Caffrey, one Of
Mr.. Hagerty's secretaries, came
in and whispered something to
him.
Then Mr.. Hagerty snapped:
Let me end this conference in
a hurry. The President is going
to church today with Mrs.
Eisenhower"
What time?" a reporter
asked.
Now" Mr.. Hagerty replied.
Most of the newsmen in the
room rushed out, getting to the
church after the Eisenhowers
already had arrived.
A few who remained behind
heard Mr.. Hagerty say. 81 was
just stalling so I could make
this announcement"
1t was at another press con-
ference. after the Eisenhowers
had returned from church. that
Mr.. Hagerty explained 1t was
the President himself, who
wanted no advance announce
ment about his leaving the
White House.

YUL-E:

The Christmas Season brings with some ratner num-
orous stories especially from the children Each year
the freshness approach by kids and parents deserves
some mention here and that why give the follow
ing true and actual happenings
At breakfast Thursday father rolled up his trouser
leg and proudly displayed large and panful toor DuIn
Said he MY little boy got new electric train Tor ohrs1
masp
Another father told that his little girl got beauti-
full doll Little girl from across the street brought ner new
doll over for visit Trouble started when noted that
one of the dolls had hghheeled shoes Each of course
wanted the doll with high heels and the fight was on!
Another story worth repeating (and which happened
some years ago) the of friends who
went to large department store to Santa Old Santa
picked the child up and said into the microphone And
what do you want for Christmas my lac? Imagine the
reaction of the assembled mothers and children when Jun
ior burted, "Whatzamatta? Didn't you get my letter!
On Columbus T-V show Christmas day, one of the
singers held small boy his lap while he sang, That
Little Boy Of Mine Unfortunately the Singer didn't not
ice that the little fellow picking his throughout
the entire rendition 4b6
Father of seven is recuperatng nicely after all of his
offspring left large glasses of milk plus cookies cut for
Santa on Christmas Eve
Mother of three solved problem this Christmas when
she bought each of her kids 'dogtags Each child now
has chain and tag giving and address that stray
ed children may be returned when found
But one of our favorte Yuletide stories deals with
chdess couple who went calling in the neighborhood and
neighbors kid got in the house and opened all of their
Christmas gifts This wasn't bad except for the fact
that the donors cards mixed up and neither knew
where the gifts had come FROM
Maybe mentioned this one before but we like the
one about the little boy who told friend Il Santa
Claus last nghtw
How did you know it Santa Claus asked the
friend.
Because he had bottle of beer in his hand and was
kissing mother" came the reply. s.
Christmas belongs to the kids that's true And II s
the delight and laughter Of the little that makes the
day for ALL 1t not fair to brand Christmas as being
too commercial After all, ourselves do the giving
and we do it simply to make happy The spirit is
the thing And So the only legitimate criticism that anyone
can make about this wonderful time of year that
of carries the Spirit of Christmas with us throughout
the entire year.
