OTTAWA, (#) — Lopis St. Lau
rent, prime minister of Canada
from 1948 until his Liberal party
lost the general election in June,
is retiring from party leadership.

political observers think he prob
ably will be Lester B. (Mike)

abroad as Canada’s spokesman
while foreign secretary under St.
Laurent.
Pearson is generally conceded
the best chance of carrying a con
vention to select a leader for the
next election, which • may be
called as early as next May. The
60-year-old politician was one of
a few Liberal leaders to hold his
parliamentary seat in June while
others were being upset.
St. Laurent, 75, said he was
stepping out 6f the .party job be
cause of his health.
The Liberals were defeated in
the last general election. John
Diefenbaker, a Conservative, suc
ceeded St. Laurent as prime min
ister June 21.

Grandma Moses
Still Spry on
97th Birthday
EAGLE BRIDGE, N. H., UP) —
“Just work so hard that there’s
no time to worry,” says Grandma
Moses, spry 97 today.
The world - famous painter of
primitives, still in “unusually
good” health, commented on her
birthday eve: “If you can’t fin
ish it today, there’s always to
morrow.”
Grandma looked at 97 roses,
the gift of admirers, and declared
people “make too much fuss”
about her birthdays. “I’m just a '
plain person,” she said.
Until she took up painting in
her 70s, Grandma Moses was
known only as Mrs. Anna Mary
Robertson Moses—farm wife and
mother of 10.
Today, dozens of her paintings
hang in museums. Many are re
produced on Christmas cards.
Seldom does Grandma, a suf
ferer of arthritis, miss a day of
painting. She’s busy at work well
before 6:30 a.m.
Grandma lives with a daughter,
Mrs. Winona Fisher, in a one
story brick house in this rural
I community near the Vermont
