ow hoclican Private (Canad Assumes Chair At 20th Synod

By KENNEDY WELLS Canadian Press Staff Writer STE. ANNE de BELLEVUE,

Que. (CP)—The new primate of the Anglican Church of Canada

assumed the chair Monday for}

the first time as the 20th genera, synod resumed its joimt sessions.

Archbishop Howard Clark of Edmonton, elected primate Sat- urday and officially installed Sun- day, received.a standing ovation from the 350 delegates when he entered the hall at, the end of a procession of bishops and arcir bishops

Fittingly, the first business pre- sented during the session was the report of the executive commit tee of the general board of ligious education, of whic “Argh

bishop Clark is chairman.

The board deals with all facets of religious education, including the church’s work in universities and colleges,\ adult and children’s religious classes and the printing of textbooks. 2

UNITY TOPICAL

As it has been at many synod sessions,. unity with other Chris- tian churches was a prominent theme of the report.

The report gave general ap proval to a suggestion by the Canadian Council of Churches that a provisional national uni- versity Christian council be set up to co-ordinate work on cam- puses, but it held back from any tendency toward ‘“‘the estabiish-

Oct. 8 Is Likety As Election Date

By ALAN HARVEY Semen Press Staff Writer — LONDON (CP) — Prime Min-

fster Macmillan flew to Balmoral Castle Monday and told the

Queen Britain’s biggest secret—

the date of the next general elec- tion.

The first move leading to the fifth post - war vote came amid hardening speculation that the me day would be Thursday, Oct.

ea other Thursdays in- Oc-| tober—the 15th, 22nd and “29th— also have been popular guesses. “All I cam say is that ] am go-

take advantage of the weekend that follows, but others feel it is just a matter of custom.

The Conservatives will be fav- ored to defeat the opposition La- bor party and record their third Straight victory in a national elec- tion, a feat unmatched in this century except for the three-time triumph the Liberal party regis- tered in 1906 and at two elections im 1910.

ment of a euper-church or organ-

By " feeling of the Anglican Church was that. the churches themselves should retain “‘the primary responsibility for wor- ship, teaching and pastoral care.” It also plumped strongly for separate budgets and staff, for full autonomy im the appointment of personnel and for the full ap proval by separate churches be- fore the council took any action. The installation was a tradition-steeped, colorful ceremony ‘in Montreal's Christ Church Cathedral.

Surrounded by the eolsieabih ans of the church, Archbishop Clark received the gold primatial cross from Archbishop Philip Carrington of Quebec, the senior primate, and slowly intoned the primatial pledges. :

The 150-year‘old cathedral was filled with red, white and black- robed church dignitaries, civic of- ficials, prominent ‘churchmen of ottier denominations and as many laymen as could squeeze into thr: pews.

The heat was intense, as it haa been all through the sessions of the synod, and Archbishop Clark, like many others in the congrega- tion, slowly fanned himself with a copy of the proceedings of the

The representatives of almost 3,009 members expressed con- cern that the proposed new car ferry: would not be able to carry rolling stock of the Canadian National Railways, and this pro- vince would find itself in a pre- carious position if anything of a serious nature should befall the Abegweit during the winter sea- son.

Differences Talked Out lke Declares On Return

By FRANK CORMIER

WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi- dent Ejisenifower retumed. today from tis diplomatic mission to Europe and reported that all the little differences among Western leaders have been’ ‘talked out.”

“I am quite certain that for the moment, at least, everything is going splendidly,”” Eisenhower told a crowd of welcomers at Na tional Airport. ’

The president's jet touched down at 1:54 pm. EDT to a round of applause led by Mrs. Eisenhower and Vice-President Richard Nixon. The flight from Prestwick, Scotland, took eight hours and 14 minutes, including a refueling stop at Gander, Nfld.

POLICY VISITS ;

Eisenhower made his 12-day | to tour of West Germany, Britain and France to check signals with West aders- before undertak- ing an unprecedented exchange of visits with Soviet Premier Khrushchev.

In his informal remarks to the crowd of about 1,000 high officials and citizens at the airport, Eis- enhower ngver menticned Russia or Khrushchev, due here Sept. 15.

Instead, the president emphas-

ized the unity and strength of the

Western alliance.

Eisenhower said that while the West is “united ky basic principe and purpose and in our pursuitvof peace,” geographic distance leads to small differences or pro- cedure, methods and _ tactics which need ironing out.

ALL TALKED OUT a

The president said he was happy to report that “every troublésome little problem of this type has been talked out.” He started to spéak of serious prob- lems, then cut himself short and said he did not want to use that word.

Eisenhower looked ryddy and vigorous as he stepped down the ramp from his Boeing 707 jet. Mrs. Eisenhower hurried forward

to embrace him.

“I'm so glad to he back,” the president said with a broad grin.

Eisenhower said that in his talks with Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, Prime Minister Mac millan and President Charles de Gaulle, he found “governmental unity.” _

But, he jadded, “far more heartening than this was the-evi- dence that can be seen ‘in all these countries of the deep friendship of these people for the American people.”
