Diefenbaker's youth was a conscious preparation for public life. He was born in Sept. 18, 1895 in the Ontario village of Newstadt, son of a German-descended schoolteacher who liked to boast that he had taught William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada's famed and durable (1921-48, except for five years) Liberal Prime Minster.

In addition, he told a conference called by the National Conference of Christians and Jews in Chicago, some way should be worked out to put religion into public education. "The American people are becoming more and more religion-conscious today, and yet the most important institution of the community is barred to religion-an untenable position...
