Although his voice was shaky
at the start, Sir Winston soon
acted like the campaigner of
old as he read q 2.300-word
speech without glasses. He
asked his constituents to return
him to the House Of Commons
where he has sat continuous
ly since Iceland to join in
a sweeping Conservative Party
victory in the general election
October 8.
Draws Standing Ovation
The grand old man of British
politics displayed his familiar
stuck-out chin and cherubic
smile and drew a standing ova-
ton from the 500 in the hall
and 1000 listening outside. He
declared at the end of his adj
dress:
-, MY firm conviction is that
Mr.. Harold Macmillan (the
Conservative Prime Minister)
is today the man whose policies
are most likely to achieve high
hopes and aims"
Sir Winston said Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev's
total disarmament proposal to
the United Nations represented
a step In the right direction.
He warned, however, that
I'VE must above all resist any
temptation to rush into agree
ments which do not provide a
workable system Of inspection
and control"
Recalls War Role
Sir winston recalled the part
he played after World War II
in awakening free Europe to
the need to join together with
the United States and the
British Commonwealth to pro-
tect their freedom"
Once again he denied old
Communist propaganda that he
set the cold war in motion.

Russian forces were joining

Today's Meditation: Consider
this question, do you think too
much of yourself, or too little?''
Someone has written, 1T is what
we think of ourselves that, in
the long run, determines the
conduct of men and of nations. /"
If we think of ourselves as Just
mechanical accidents, or a high
grade of animal, life loses its
high meaning. But, if we think
of ourselves as sons of God, the
objects of His love and care,
then that makes all the differ
ence in the world, and in etern-
ity.
