yi THE .f1SIlBURlf1N IJISTINGUISI-IED VISITUR Un XYednesdav, the 2-lth of February, Ashbury was honoured by a visit from Robert Thompson, leader of the Social Credit Party. The principal purpose of his visit was to present to Ashbury a gift from Emperor Haile Selassie of Iithiopia, grandfather of Prince Michael Xlakonnen, and great grandfather of .Xlichael and .lohannes Nlengesha, all students here at Ashbury. The gift was a magnificent leopard skin, specifically for the purpose of glamorizing our Cadet Band's Bass Drum- mer. QA quick glance at previous years will reveal that in this respect our drummer has been practically nude - not even a leopard skin collarlj Mr. Thompson's role stemmed from his recent visit to the far off .-'ifrica in the guise of a one-man, peace-seeking mission. His trip in- volved visiting the Lion of judah . Before going he asked Mr. Perry what would be an appropriate item to bring back. ln a brief speech Klr. Thompson warned of the dangers of appease- ment in Viet Nam, the Congo, and even the United Nations itself. He spoke generally about Africa, and specifically about world problems. All dangerous international situations in this increasingly perilous world were due to the Communists dishonouring their diplomatic Word , and to find fault with XX'ashington in times like these would be to join idealogical hands with the enemy . Coming closer to home, he theorized on the possible motives behind the extremists who plotted to blow up the Statue of Liberty, the XYashington Nlonument and the Liberty Bell. He asked Capropos of Nlichelle Duclos who was employed in Algeria after the revolutionary F.L.N. had taken overl if it could have been that she was training in sabotage with the intent of working towards a revolution in Canada . Though some of us might forget a few of the intricacies of Mr. Thompson's speech, we will none of us forget the sight of John Read fthe Bass Drummerl resplendant in his spotted waistcoat. -l -1 Lady Runcorn, Chairwoman of XYomen Speakers for the Common- wealth attended Chapel on November 29th, prior to a Luncheon and Speaking engagement at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club.
