@ Men Of Goodwill

# ¥ Said Peace Hope

By FRANK BRUTTO

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope John declared Wednesday that “only men of goodwill’ can lead the world to a true peace that respects the dignity of man.

In his Christmas message broadcast to the worid, the Pope said that “‘the road to Bethlehem truly marks the right approach to that peace which is on the lips. in the eager desires, in the hearts of all.”

But, said the 78-year-old su- preme ruler of the Roman Catho- lic Church, such a peace has not yet been achieved.

“There is not a state of ‘war, but. neither is there peace,” he said. ‘In the world of today, how miany roads of peace have been sed and imposed?”

Captain Joseph Erslow, 58, and) fisherman , Luke Berringer, 53, | were washed overboard after En- slow’s 56 - foot fishing boat Ray- Ola-K crashed onto the rocks off MacNutt’s Island at the mouth of Shelburne harbor in a blizzard. Hector Williams, 38, Jofin Guy, about 28, and Rayburn Zinck, 40, were washed ahore with the wreckage. They waded through water up

the Island.

They spent the night, soaked te the skin and half - frozen, huddled in the shelter of some trees. Res- cuers found them there early Wednesday.

It was another story of tragedy in the Nova Scotia fishing fleet, only more painful because it, came almost on the eve of Christ- mas. |

The Ray - Ola - K was home- bound for Shelburne, near Nova Scctia’s southwest tip, after a two - day trip to the fishing grounds. She ran into a snowy) ga'e Tuesday afternoon.

Each of these families—71 per- sons in all—fled their Commu- nist-dominated homelands to es- eape religious and political per- secytion.

After their escape into Italy they enjoyed religious freedom but they were stateless persons in a strange country. For many of these people Christmas Eve in Halifax and Saint John will be their first opportunity to attend church in a free country that they can call their own.
