As Haldeman was present at every meeting of any importance in the White House, he is able to reveal its inner workings and give us an insight into the real Richard Nixon. : “Haywire” by Brook Hay- ward is the story of the beauti- ful, successful Hayward family —mother, actress Margaret Sullavan; father, a dynamic theatrical agent and three charming children. However, the privilege, glamor and mon- ey surrounding them could not protect them from emotional upheavals, mental breakdowns and tragedy. Another Hollywood bio- graphy, hailed as. an extra- ordinary piece of research and writing, is Patricia Bosworth's “Montgomery Clift”. In it, she uncovers the secrets of the tormented life of this compli- cated actor and in so doing, gives us a fresh look at other equally famous movie stars. One of the most delightful books we've ever seen is “The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady”, by Edith Holden. This is “a facsimile reproduction of a nature diary kept for the year 1906—a collection of beautiful watercolors of birds, animals, the original must have—all it lacks is that lovely, musty, old-book smell.

Within the circle of his family and friends, Nicholas is shown to be a gentle and affectionate man but, as a leader, his contra- dictory character and reaction- ary attitudes were to plunge his country into revolution and eivil war. The mysterious desert city | of Timbuctoo was a magical name which inspired western explorers to search for it. “Cross the Great Desert" by Michael Ross is a reconstruc- tion of the journey by the first’ European, Rene Caille, to find Timbuctoo, Caille spent years in care- ful preparation learning Arabic and steeping himself in the Muslim faith and ways of the desert tribes before setting off on his quest.

Reports were heard fram the Youth Council of the Union of Youth, various women’s com- mittees and from directors of the Grand Forks Milling Co- operative, the Sunshine Valley _ Co-operative Society, the K.C. Co-operative at Brilliant and * the Stocan Valley Co-operative at Slocan Park. Plans and suggestions cov- ering many areas of activity were set out by which the business and cultural affairs’ of the organization can: be im- proved, With very few exceptions, * unanimity of purpose, of deter- mination and agreement, in nature of approach to solution of problems was shown by the ys, Verigin d the new Hymn and Psalm Book soon to be completed at the publishers in Toronto, seminars for Committee members of Sunday Schools und Russian Schools, the forthcoming Youth Festival and the Spiritual Re- birth theme chosen to charac. terize it this year, participation in the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Tolstoy's birth— and many other subjects of direct interest to the organiza- tion. One other delicate subject Verigin touched upon was the subject of earthly spiritual leaders in relation to the one Heavenly Spiritual Leader, the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who, even as the Doukhobor Declaration states, is the only leader the USCC members acknowledge and recognize. Verigin brought the mat- ter up because of the contention of certain Doukhobor factions that earthly spiritual leaders, as such, are not needed and out of place. - The honorary chairman's + hour-long report ended on the final note of the great need for unity at this time and stressed, that the USCC is a body through ‘which this can be practically achieved. A prolong: ed standing ovation from the: ittee mem- bers in charge had little trouble in conducting the meeting smoothly and in good order. The conclusion of the meet- ing was highlighted by the summation speech of John J. Verigin, honorary chairman of the USCC, outlining the gener- al course of the organization with his personal impressions and explanations to various aspects of the problems with which the org ion has to and p. au dience of some 500 reflected the appreciation and approval in general to the leadership af- forded by the person of their choice.

Kootnekoff, thé i of the C cope, zs Verigin spoke of his own role as honorary chairman and what the position called for, and insisted that the membership be absolutely honest with re- gard to his continued occupa- tion of this post. He reminded the conven: tion that the post was created to symbolize unity. He accepted the position on the explicit understanding that it is the will of the people. ’ Annually the question is posed to the membership, whether this position is neces- sary, and if so who they wish to hold same. He spoke on the need for greater security from acts of terrorism through the establishment of the Commit- tee on Doukhobor affairs with government backing. He also spoke on multiculturalism and participation of the Doukhobor youth in the forth 1B con- delivered a report on. the meaning and function of spirit- ual leaders in the Doukhobor sect from the very inception of the group in Russia some three centuries ago up to this time. Quoting from a book com- piled by V. D. Bonch-Bruevich, a Russian historian—Mr. Koot- ° nekoff brought out the point that it was the Doukhobor spiritual leaders who inspired the creation of Doukhoborism. He also cited a whole line of false leaders that entered into the Doukhobor midst and led many astray. Michel Zibin, a director of © the Sunshine Valley Co-opera- tive Society, read out corres- pondence with the attorney- general's office in Victoria regarding the two separate fires that destroyed the Co- operative store, library and. Iskra office (in 1975)—and also the Ce ity Centre last ference in Ottawa and spoke on participation in the Canada- USSR Friendship Society as a Means: of promoting peace year... both of which fires were acknowledged officially by ‘the investigators as of incendiary. unknown or un- determined origin, but no ap- amongst people of the world of people respon- sible has resulted to this time. A very disappointing reply received from Victoria, out- lining only the man hours spent by the police, was also read into the record, The total dollar loss involved in the two above fires set the organization back an estimated two million dollars.
