Smith said iwas the hope of the Counicil thave ani agreement from the Board that they would pay a fair sh-re of the cost of a trunk sewer which wauld run easterly in front of their property ta- ward Cavan Street. This would be approximately the same as would bc carried out under lo- cal irnpro'vement with the Board paying fl-e regular foot front- age. It was pretty well agreed by bath menmbers that this was a fair reciuest. 1955 Suggested Opening Mr. Ryan said that the Board want to open the school flot la- ter than September, 1955, and asked if the sewer wauld be ready at tLhat time. He was in- formec b,- Mr. Butts that Ibis would be possible but there will ha twG -othier Town Couincilis to i.' consider as weli as the question of purchasing the necessary land. Mr. McGregor made no state- ment through the authanity o! the Board, but he expressed bis personal opinion that the Board will gîve assurance that they will pay their fair share o! the sewer costs. With the understanding that tbe Board will sign such an agreement at their next meet- ing, October 16 the Town Coun- cil assiîrcd the Board members that they wîll pass a resolution at their next meeting givîng their approval for the hiring of architects.

Tbey will learn ta play and work with other child- ren and be aîded in learning, sorne useful occupation for later years. The happy and instructive evenîng spent Oct. 2 will be helping ta reach this wonderful objective. No admission is asked, just your donation. Indifferent Parents Threai fo Childreni i"The things we are constant- lfighting against are compla- cency andi indifference," declar- ed Gardon Coyne, acting presi- dent of the Health League of Canada in a National Immuni- zation Week statement. "And the danger is enhanced by aur verY success in seeing that mare1 and mare Canadian children are immnizecl every year. The few- er deaths there are from diph-,l theria, whooping caugh, lock- jaw arnd smallpox, the less par- I ents think about the risk theirî children run when they are not given protection against them." This is the reason for the year-after-year pounding on the same aId Éheme-"'Be wise! Im- munize!" This is why the week of September 27 through Octo- ber 3 is being observed by the press, public speakers, health officiais and the medical profes- sion across Canada as National i Immunization Wcek. "It is an uphili struggle tai keep Canadian parents alerted ta the lurking dangers of these preventable diseases," Mr. Coyne continued. "But if we fail ta keep aur guard up, we rnay ex- pect a t;agic upsurge in the number of victims claimed by these notcrnous child killers." Lendine point ta the Health League c-.cutive's words is the history uf srnallpox epidernics in Vancouver in the 1930's and in Wirdsor, Ontario, in the 20's. In the latter autbreak there were 67 cases of smallpox o! wham 32 (or 48 per cent) died. None of those wvba died had been vaccinited. although this protec- tion was well known and easily available toalal wha sought it.

The first of the two men en- tered the cigar store about 3 p.m.' and bought a package of cigarettes. tendering a $10 bill for which he received the cor- rect change. A few moments la- ter the second &harpie appeared and bought an -item for which he gave Mn.. Howes a $5 bill. He was given change from the $5 bil, but before the transac- tion wns complete he went into bis fast taiking routine. "Oh, was that a five I gave you?", he asked. "Here'. five ones--eive me a ten". Before Mrs. Howes realized that the original $5 was now hers any- way, she g ave hlm a $10 bill. Shortly after the grifter left the store, however, Mrs. Howes realized qrie had been victimiz- ed and went up the street look- ing for him. She found him in a car à short distance away exchanging better forest management. billh with the accomplice wh* had entened the jitore tirst In e fit o! guod English temper she went up ta the car and said, "You wicked men, you've cheatï, cd me out of $10". Without fur ther ado she snatched a $0bý out of the hands of the stantleq con men. The discomfite4 sharpie yelped, "It wau only $5 lady' but rather than risk funther argument, and possiblyr a brush with the law, the two men pulied away in thein car.

Mechanizatian ha. helped to THE STRIKE AT NORANDA The plant of Noranda Mines, Ltd., bias been ciosed since August 22nd by a strike cailed by the United Steelworkers of America, Local 4278. The strike resulted from the Union's insistence on the "check-off". The Company lias offered to negotiate a wage increase but would not agree to the "check-off". The "check-off" is one of several forms of sa-called "union security". The United Steelworkers of America is a pawerful international union with headquarters in the United States. It bias many hundreds of local unions, aggregating many thousands of members throughout the United States and Canada. It is affiliated with the C.I.O. in the United States and Canadian Congress of Labour in Canada. Local unions are chartered by the headquarters of the United Steelworkers, which controls the operation of its local unions by officiais appointed for that purpose. A continuous campaign is carried on ta organize new locals and extend the power of the union leaders. The headquarters officiais, as well as those appointed ta local and organizing duties, make their living by this work. Members of local unions must pay Initiation fees, monthly dues, fines and other amounts as establisbed by the Union's constitution. These payments go ta the union headquarters and a part is rebated back to ihe local unions. The United Steelworkers is a very healthy organizatian. In Canada, the United Steelworkers, directly as well as through the Canadian Congress of Labour, gives financial and other support to the socialist political party commonly known as the C.C.F. This allegiance was confirmed at a C.C.L. convention in Montreal on September l6th. The Directors for Canada of the United Steelworkers is one of the leaders of the C.C.F. arnd was a candidate for election in the recent Canadian elections. If brought ta power, the C.C.F. promises ta national- ize the mining industry. Under the labour laws of the Province of Quebec, each employee bias the right ta join, or not ta join, a union '. An employer is obliged by law ta recagnize and deal with a union which is certified by the Labour Relations Board ta represent bis emplayees. An employer is probibited: (i) from "seeking ta dominate or binder tbe formation or the activities of" a union, (ii) from refusing ta employ, any persan because sucb persan lu a member of a union and (iii) from seeking ta compel, by any means, any persan ta abstain from becoming, or ta cease being, a member of a union. Thus the right of employees ta belong ta unions and the right of unions ta aperate are fully protected by iaw. Any union bias complete security and is in an impregnable position if it bias the voluntary and whole-hearted support, moral and financial, of a majority of the employees eligible for membership. "Union security" is a catch-phrase widely used by union leaders. It means, in final effect, some arrangement between union and employer whereby the employer will compel bis employees ta pay dues ta the union in order ta hold their jobs. It deprives the employee of bis rigbt ta with- hold support from the union if hie does flot consider that support is justified. To understand what is invalved by so-called "union security", the members of the union must be considered separately f rom the paid union officiais and the headquarters of the union. Protection of members is provided by law and their unions will be as secure as the members desire ta make them. The security of paid union officiais and the bead- quarters organization should only depend on the support and goodwill of the union members. In demanding so-called "union security" the paid union officiais are actuaiiy asking that their financial position and their power over empioyees and the national economy be guaranteed through compulsory deductions from the pay of working people.
