	The Prime Ministers of Canada - Lester B. Pearson Biography
		Maryon was to have a continuing influence on Pearson’s career and politics.
		Pearson joined the Department of External Affairs in 1928, when changes in the world and Canada's new involvement in international affairs made a diplomatic career exciting and rewarding.
		Pearson, together, was to listen to their blandishments -- I suppose is a good word -- because she was extremely witty, very direct, and quite funny in the way she picked up the conversations that were going on.

	Lester Pearson - MSN Encarta
		In 1943 Pearson served as a delegate to several conferences and planning sessions of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, a forerunner of the United Nations (UN), an international organization established to maintain peace and security, and as chairman of its supplies committee, which undertook emergency feeding and refugee programs in troubled areas.
		From 1948 to 1956, he was head of the permanent Canadian mission to the UN, and during the 1952-1953 UN session, Pearson was president of the General Assembly, the representative body of the UN.
		In 1956 Pearson initiated the resolution that terminated the conflict between the Egyptian government and the French and British governments over the Suez Canal, and sent a UN police force to restore peace to the Gaza Strip, an area then under Egyptian control from which terrorist attacks on Israel were being staged.

	LESTER B. PEARSON - 7th Session

		Pearson was appointed Chairman of the Committee on Supplies and represeated Canada at subsequent UNRRA meetings in 1944, 1945, and 1946.
		Pearson had been the chief civil servant in the Department of External Affairs for two years when, in 1948, he was summoned by his Prime Minister to head the Departmeat on the elected cabinet level.

		Pearson's paternal grandfather, Marmaduke Louis, was a well-known Methodist minister; his mother's cousin the Reverend Richard Pinch Bowles, later the chancellor of Victoria University, Toronto, had officiated at the marriage of Annie and Edwin.
		Reports vary on Pearson's success as a lecturer, but all agree that he was a major figure in the athletic activities of the university and a minor contributor to the professionalization of the field of Canadian history in the 1920s.
		Pearson had little patience with those who made revisionist arguments and the second volume of his memoirs is a reply to the revisionist historians of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
