*E BY LEWIS MILLIGAN â€" "In Britain the architects of peace are at work and the pattern of a new society catering to the needs of the people will s6on emerge," says the proâ€" vincial organizer of the C.C.F. in Nova Scotia. Commenting on this stateâ€" ment, the Halifax â€" Chronicle says: "This is the old pieâ€"inâ€"theâ€"sky apâ€" proach cof ancient socialists. . It is airy, vacuous and nonâ€"practical. It represents the attitude that the way to deal with pressing public problems is to theorize on theém,. talk about patâ€" terns and a new society, architects of peace and the like." s That is just what is wrong with the pestwar world; we have too many architects and too few builders and willing workers. It is literally true of the housing situation. Since time beâ€" gan there never were so many plans and planners It is an age of blueâ€" prints. We must have architects and "Perverted publicity to smoke â€" screen attacks upon the Labor movement are most detrimental to Canada‘s best interests, conâ€" trary to principles of political democracy, and cannot be allowed to go unchallenged by a people that fought and bled in a second world war to make the world safe from Facism,." so reads (of all things) a portion of the resolution presented by the Laborâ€"Proâ€" gressive party recently forwarded to Ottawa. What the resolution is really beefing about is the publicity given by the free press of Canada to the antiâ€"Canadian activities of a number of communists currently operating under their title of "Laborâ€"Progressive". We would point out that criticism of the Laborâ€"Progressive Party is not criticism of Labor as such, nor of Labor unions. It is simply a criticism of communist activities being conducted within this democracy. We would point out, further, that the people who fought and bled in the second world war are quite capable of speaking for themselves â€" and the last group to deserve the privilege of speaking for the armed forces is the Laborâ€"Progressive party, a group whose antiâ€"democratic stand was particularly notâ€" iceable in the first few years of this war â€" until, in fact, Russia was forced jnto fighting, when the communists had to do an embarasâ€" sing aboutâ€"face. gan there never were so man: and planners It is an age 0o prints, We must have archite engineers to design and plan structures and machinery, bu deal with brick,., stune, cement steel and various kinds of meta which can be moulded or har into the desired shapes and fit gether according to plan. In t gether according to pian we can predetermine ti things to come," â€"things man beings. Lorad Woolt ister of Food And if the Laborâ€"Progressive motivators were to state the whole truth, it was not just Facism we were fighting â€" it was Naazism, and other ‘"isms" which would deny us our rights as free men which have been made possible under a democratic government. All of which is quite well known to the leaders of the soâ€"called Labor â€" ‘Progressive Party. In sending their resolution to Ottawa they had no hope of deluding the imembers of parliament to whom it was addressed. They had no hope, either, of pulling the wool over the eyes of what they term the "comâ€" mercial press". What they did hope to do was to befuddle a certain number of the general public, many of whom do not yet realize the Laborâ€"Progresâ€" sive party neither labors nor progresses â€" it simply exists to encourage the spread of communistic ideas in this country. The Labor Progressive party is made up of a number of people who will always follow any "quack" doctrine which enables them to put the blame for their own misfortunes on the shoulders of someone else, plus a number of persons who really believe communism has something to offer the laboring man, together with a few intelligent people perverted with And the intentions which lurk in that heart have been adequately disclosed by the comâ€" munist Fred Rose, Laborâ€"Progressive‘s memâ€" ber of parliament in Ottawa. Comrade Rose is not charged with being Laborâ€"Progressive, nor is he accused of working too hard for the interests of the working man. He is, in effect, charged placing â€"the interests of communist Russia above those of democratic Canada. He is accused of being too red a Rose properly to work for the Red, White and Blue. a belief in the futility of democracy; theirs is the philosophy of despair. . But whatever motley crew makes up the body of the party, it is in Moscow one must look for the heart. It will take more than the writing of resoluâ€" tions to remove the communist taint from the Laborâ€"Progressive party. No "smoke screen" has yet been devised to hide its true colors â€" predominantly and undemocratically red. We are tempted to suggest that the Laborâ€"Proâ€" gressive party and its Rose would, by any other name. still smell. A feeling of dismay, to put it mildly, fills the mind of anyone who gives even a casual glance to the police court news these days. The large number of young people from 16 to 22..years of age, who have appeared in the Police Court on serious charges should enâ€" courage even the most apathetic section of the public to pull its head out of the sand. Charges of rape, assault, robbery and theft have been laid against youngsters who have their homes and presumably parents, in this Camp. Young people who had, because of their age, no right to a liquor permit, have been found with permits in their possession.

The Sunday Chronicle says: "The The Sunday Chronicle says: ‘"The country is not satisfied.

The reason is not hard to find. There is not enough for young people to do. For the youngster who has finished his schooling and who has yet to assume the responsibilities of family life, there is a gap of inactivity, a period when he is mentally and physically "all dressed up" but with "no place to go". For Timmins has zgrown to city size withâ€" out a corresponding growth in social and recreational facilities. It is a town with a score of beverage rooms, but without a propâ€" er meeting place for youth. It is a town with a dog catcher, but without a recreational director. Teenâ€"agers have been found drunk And so it is that we reap the results in the Police Court every melancholy Tuesday. Those who have yet to mark their first ballot are being asked to plead guilty or not guilty this week and every week. The sins which are, in part, those of the town fathers, are duly being visited upon those who are, in part, the town‘s children. The .

They 100k about at the large number of empty chairs, eye each other questioningly, then arise and chant: Criticism: From where we. sit, it seems only three of those invited showed up â€" and none of the five members of the committee responsible were there.

The curtain goes down, as members of the cast walk offstage, muttering. In an attempt to provide sane recreation for young people in a wholesome atimosphere, a "Teenâ€"Age Dance‘" is being sponsored by the Y¥‘s Men‘s Club of Timmins. The dance, which is intended for the young people, and for no one else, will be supervised, by club members and their wives, to ensure that conditions at the dance are all that any parent could deâ€" sire. It is understood that if the dance is a success and can be conducted in the proper manner, it will become a regular feature Of the young folk‘s social life in the town. All young people‘s organizations are being asked to coâ€"operate, and it is desired, too, to ask the coâ€"operation of parents. If the dance gets an approving nod from them they can be assured their children will have a safe and sane outlet for that "jitterâ€"bugging" instinct. The dance is being held at the Pavilion, with complete coâ€"operation of the manageâ€" ment and orchestra. Regular bus services will take the youngsters there, and extra busâ€" es will bring them home at a good hour. A careful check will be made at the Pavilion door to ensure a "nonâ€"drinking" evening and while the young people will have complete freedom to enjoy themselves, supervision will be carried out to ensure that there is no reâ€" laxation from decent standards of conduct throughout the dance, which is being held on Wednesday, Apr. 24, during the Easter holiâ€" days, so as not to interfere with school work.

That what Lord Woolton ment when he said that industry in Britain was "bound in fetâ€" ters"® by the announcement that the Government intended to create a new series of slate monoplies. Herbert Morrison, as president of the Board of Trade, must have reaâ€" lized the situation that the blueâ€"prints of h‘s party had created when he anâ€" neunced that the Government had no intention of socializing all industries and appealed to private enterprise to go ahead. This appeal to private enterâ€" prise for helo is very dxfl‘erem from the preâ€"election appeal to the workedâ€" up prejudice against private indusâ€" trialists, who were blamed for nearly all of the ills that fiesh is heir to.

The general meeting last Wednesday certainly showed the necessity for a new and larger hall. The attendance was such that every chair was taken, yet only the minority cf the memberâ€" ship attended, in many cases owing to shift work. Manty of the members have asked why all general meetings are held on afternoon shift. Well, its pretty hard to arrange meetings to accomodate all the members, but some day you w.ll catch up with one. With Comrade R. Bryson in the chair, acting as president, the meeting was in capable hands. President Al‘s voice was heard from the floor for a change. ’ We hope the coming of Spring will be beneficial to our sick members who !have been unable to get around for some time.

Comrade Bob Steck will be in the chair with Lester Hill acting first Vice. The plans for the new hall will be placed before this meeting for discussion. Instead cof our usual summer carniâ€" val this year, it has been suggested that we hold a dance and floor show at the McIntyre arena. If it is in Jack‘s hands, look out for:a good show. A motion was passed on the floor that the Branch sponsor a baseball team in the local league. We ought to have lots of talent among eur young members, who peruaps have played army baseball. It would be something to attract them, until we get estabâ€" lished in our new home. Incidently, I know or have seen some dart players who would make a base hit, when they toss those feathers right to the base of the dart board. A ccmmittee will be picked to arrange the raising and management of the team. Delegates were chosen to attend the district meeting to be held in the Leâ€" gion Hall all day on Sunday, Apr. 7.
