At one in the morning the break had been repaired, the boilers and pump were going again. and in a short time the drill was turning.

"If you had wanted to dodge getting served with this here paper, you coulda left town." another de- puty raminded him. "We didn't figure we'd find you lean a week did we. Chad?"

Says Canada Nol Questioning Indian Policy

NEW DELHI. (GP)-Prime Min- ister st. Laurent in s speech to the Parliament of India said 'nies- days Canada does not question India's policy of steering a middle path between the Western powers and the Communist world.

In that way. he said, India is "playing her part in the search" for wise political decisions.

At the same time he told the two Houses of Parliament, where

anti-American sentiment is often voiced thst the United states is "the most unselfish country over tc play" the role of a major power.

Different Apps-osels

sketching the differing sp- prosches or Csnsds. and India to the world situation, the Csnsdian leader said:

"Both our countries are deeply aware that the continued pro- gress of our national uevelopment programs depends on the main- tenance of world peace. It is on the question of the policies most opt to promote international se- curity that a difference in our st- tltude is more noticeable.
