LB NEW DEPARTURE A new development in Whithy municipal politics this year is the sectional and politieal support many candidates for public office are re- ceiving. Usually municipal candi- dates have stood, and run on their merits alone but this year at least four groups representing national politics, a service organization, a church group and labor are stand- ing behind their candidates. L BE BE J LAY OFF SANTA! We were deeply shocked to read a news item in sn 'Orillja paper wherein the Chief of Police requests the boys and girls not to throw snowballs at Santa Claus when he rides into town tomorrow. It seems that the Old Saint missed a few last year who intend to take out their pique in this uncouth fashion. Tut. Tut! What is the younger gen- eration coming to! It may not snow by Saturday anyway. * bb ATTEND CONFERENCE The District Conference of Wo- men's Institute on Personality and Dress, held in Pickering on Tues- day afternoon was attended by members from the Whitby and Ajax Branch.

Begin Hunt For Known Communists Montreal, Dec. 3--(CP)--Seven locals of the Brotherhood of Rajl- way Clerks (T.L.C.) at the head of the Great Lakes are being ask- ed by the union's Montreal head- quarters whether they are "har- boring known Communists," it was announced here today. The announcement was made by Frank H. Hall, vice-president of the brotherhood who Thursday an- nounced formation of an anti- Communist bloc of 32 unions in Ifthe Trades and Labor Congress of Canada. * Mr. Hall, an outspoken anti-com- munist, was commenting on a statement made in Toronto Thurs- day night by William Jenoves, a T.L.C. vice-president. Mr. Jenoves said "Hall has as many Reds in his organization at the head of the lakes as in any other union group." "That might very well be 50," the broterhooq chief said. "The laws of the brotherhood provide that any member found advocating, promoting or holding membership in the Communist par- ty shall be subject to expulsion. Bowever: we cannot act on suspic- on. "If Mr. Jenoves is privy to mem- bership records of the Communist party and will advise us who these members are we shall proced against them. "In the meantime, the brother- hoods' seven locals at the lakehead are being advised of Mr. Jenoves' allegations and requested to noti- fy us as to whether they are har- boring known Communists."

Chiang Progressing Washington, Dec. 3--(AP)--Mad- ame Chiang Kai-Shek was making progress today in her campaign to carry tg top American officials her urgent appeal for aid against Chi- nese Communists. The first lady of China saw State Secretary Marshall for about an hour late Thursday. At about the same time President Truman an- nounced - that he: will receive her on a date to be disclosed later. Mme. Chiang's meeting with Marshall, at whose 'Leesburg, Va., home she is staying, occurred at Walter Reed Hospital, where the secretary is undergoing a physical examination. The Chinese embassy - still. has not announced Mme. Chiang's iti- nerary, and her plans for the two weeks or so she will stay in Wash- ington are for the moment indefi- nite. Aides reported that the wife of China's Nationalist leader has re- ceived invitations from all over the United States to make public speeches, as she did in 1942-43. But any such swing appears out of the question this tim. Several questions concerning the China crisis, now heightened by the Communist drive toward Nan- king, were put to Truman at his press conference late Thursday. But the president: gave no hint of what his decision on China aid will be -- whether all-out help, none at all, or further limited as- sistance comparable to 'the $400,- 000,000 program now in effect. His final decision may be based at least in part, on a report from the foreign aid administrator, Paul Hoffman, later this month, as well as on recommendations by the State Department which have not yet been presented. Hoffman is due to leave today on a world-circling trip which will take him to Britain, China, Korea, and Japan, by Dec. 20. COUNTERFEIT MONEY New Y.rk, Dec.' 3.--(CP)--Feder~ al Reserve Bank officials said Thursday * that New York is being flooded with counterfeit $10 and $20 bills.

They said the counterfeiting is so close to perfection that it is classed as "'dan- gerous." NO SCRAPHEAP Montreal, Dec. 3. -- (CP)-- The stately old Aquitania is a long way from the scrapheap. A report from London Wednesday that the 34- year-old passenger ship may be scrapped in January brought un- qualified denial Thursday from T. C. Lockwood, president of Cunard Donaldson, Ltd, Canadian general agents for the Cunard White Star, Ltd. Quiddenham, Norfolk, England --(CP)--Quiddenham Hall, for 200 years the seat of the Earls of Al- bemarle, has been sold, and it is understood. it will become a con- vent.
