Mr. Lappala said that unfortunâ€" alely there had been somsthing of the same sort in Timmins. The Communâ€" i<s made determined effort to interâ€" fere with the work of the church. Lies were told about those engaged in any church activities, and even those who simply attended church services were ncs free from ridicule and implied threats from the Communis} element. At the first service conducted here by Revy, Mr. Lappala there woere forty preser«, but the majority were afraid to ccme again. Finnish peopl»> who wished to become good Canadians were ridiculed and effort made to prevent them goinz to church or associating with those who did. At wthe church services ths communists apparently had spies present and the names of all avttending were secured and they were told they had better not go again. The persecution that followed defiancs of the ordesrs of the Communists took «he form very frequently of ridicule and abuse." The N.O.H.A. cxecutive held two busy sessions at North Bay ten years ago.

The band concert in the Goldfields ‘heatre ten years ago after the church services proved to b> a very pleasing and successful event, despite a number of unavoidable difficulties. It had been intended to have the occasion a sp2â€" c‘al Cornish Night, but this was found impractical in view of the fact that the Cornish Social Club had a special concers of its own scheduled for the following Sunday. The Cornish people, however, did not disappoint the band or the audience, but with their usual kindness provided a large male choir sing Christmas carols, this carol singing being one af the specially popuâ€" lar features of the evening. to show formal appreciation to Mr. Williams. G. A. MacDonald, president of the District C.A.S., told of the tims, {he mon:y and the heart that Mr. Wilâ€" liams had given for many years on beâ€" half of the children.

(From Ot:awa Journal) It is a blessed and thing judgment on pessimists. Not long ago one of those psychologists who have a habit of "viewing with alarm" came out to say that wha with the growth of radio, the movies, the human race would eventually stop reading allogethâ€" er.

Considering that Oitawa has in addition a number of commercial lending libraries, that many people use thr Parliamentary Library, and that thousands of ctheors buy books, this, for a city of the size of Ottawa, is an extraordinary record. Nor do the figures of the Ottawa Pubâ€" lic Library take account of the thouâ€" sands of persons who use the reforence reading room of the institution. The truth is, of course, t‘hat no matâ€" ‘er how much people listen to the radio, and no matter how often they go to the movies, they turn all the more to the printed word. Indescd, it is reasonable to suppose that the radio and the movies (and even the picture magazirss) help to turn them to the printed word. From the radio and the screen they get impressions; only: from ‘he actval printed word can they get considered thought; the opportunity to reflect, to check, to debate and discuss _and challenge. â€" That is why radio breadcasting, no _ mauter what its value (and nobody can idcny its value) can never take the . place of the written word. The book, lthe nowspaper, will remain to convey thcughts and statemerys that can be strdied, to interpret, to instruct, to ampliyfy and to entervain. As true now | as ever is the line from Byron: "Bu‘ words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling, like dew upon a thought, Produces that which makes thouâ€" sands, perhaps millions, think."
