After such action, the Party may with some justification decide to follow the admirable example of its organizer,, Sam Carr, and disappear into thin air. Or to make a long story still more odious, it might be said that the Laborâ€"Progressive Party‘s record in working against Canada Actually, of ‘course, it is so much eyeâ€"wash. The petition for more housing which was circulated by the Laborâ€"Progressives and whch got many signatures (who doesn‘t know the need for more housing?) will probably gather dust until election time. At that time, too, they will be able to take credit for being the Party which protested against higher prices â€" just as if the government and everyone else had approved higher prices. c These cynics might, tco, that before the Party dreams up any further crowd pleasing projects (how about pension for everybody over twenty) it spends some time in contemplation of t.he life and work of The latest evidence of their wish to be seen on everybody‘s bandâ€" wagon consists of a brieflyâ€"worded advertisement, urging everybody to protest against rising prices. They are on good safeâ€"ground in this, as they were in asking for more houses and less expensive milk. It is evidently the Party‘s policy to find something that every one wants and to.attach the Laborâ€"Progressive label to it. Despite the plan‘s lack of originality, it should gain the party a certain following of those who prefer to have even their most elemenâ€" tal thinking done for them., There may be a few cynical souls, however, who contend that the Laborâ€"Progressive Party could best serve Canada by not working quite so hard for Soviet Russia. brings into question their sincerity in pretending to seek public welfare in any way. It may be added that this editorial is prompted by a conversation with a member of the Roman Catholic church, who offered us a clipping in which the above facts were reported and who joined with us in a feeling of regret concerning anything which might discourage the friendliest possible relationship between members of the Roman Cathlic and ‘Protestant faiths. Displaying what may seem to some a perverted sense of humor, this column continues to extract a degree of amusement for the eagerâ€"ebeaver pret,ensloxg of the Laborâ€"Progressive (communist) Party‘s concern for our common welfare. But whatever the circumstances were in .Mont Laurier, the caution contained in the pastoral letter issued there need not be considered applicable in other communities. A senior member of the archâ€" diocesan clergy of the Archdiocese of Toronto, for example, has commented on the matter, stating that in ~Ontario some priests belong to service clubs and the question of an impropriety in such membership never had arisen belief is not supported by the fects, however. Many members of the Roman Catholic clergy have in the past, and continue to be, members of the various service clubs â€"â€" with the full approval of the Church authorit‘i‘es. This hss beeon the case in Timmins, as elseâ€" where. It is not known exactly what the cireumstances were in Mont Laurier which led to the pastoral letter in question, but from what informaâ€" tion is available locally it would seem that the matter concerned natfonality, not religion. Many communities in Quebec are, as they always have been, French communities, and there is on the part of their inhabitants a desire to keep them that way â€" The intrusâ€" ion of the English language is not welcomed, and it is quite possible that membership in the predominantly Englishâ€"speaking service clubs was disapproved of on these grounds. The raisunderstanding is largely among Prq_t:esLants who believed that the pastoral letter had general application actoss Canada. â€" This A certain amount of comment and misunderstanding has followed newspaper publication of the sontents of a pastoral letter which was sent out by Bishop Eugene Limoges, of Mont Laurier, Quebec, who cautioned hlS Roman ‘Catholic charges against joining service clubs. "In the days that the O.T.A., flourished, it was common practice for ‘"‘spotters‘"‘ to travel through the country and, by means of various subterfuges and inducements, persuade unwary persons to sell them a bottle of liquor, whereupon the seller would be prosecuted. The "spotters‘"‘ were, of necéessity, an unsavory class, held in contempt by the courts and the public alike, and it is safe to say that nothing contributed more to the disrepute into which the A.T.O., fell than the activities of these gentry. It was also common practics some years ago for police to instal "speed traps‘ catch motorists exceeding the speed limit, but the courts frowned on evidence Oobtained by these methods and the practice has largely been abandoned. We had thought the use of "spotters‘", except by private agencies, had pretty much passed out of ex‘stence and we are more than a bit perturbed to find we may have been wrong. We wonder if the sending of an "undercover man" to Timmins to buy furs under an assumedâ€" name had the sanction of the Minister of Game and Fishâ€" eries, and if such acticn has the approval of the Ontario Government. ‘The public will want to know." "Published reports of . the hearing of charges against an "underâ€" cover agent" of the Ontario Department of Game and Fisheries uperating in the Timmins are are somewhat disturbing in that they indicate the Department is not above employing methods of obtaining evidence that are frowned on by the courts and that we believe, have ‘been largely discarded by most law enforcement officers. It appears that this "undercover man" was found in possession of $2,000 worth of furs and was haled into court by Provincial Police, who doubted his story that he had acquired the furs while seeking evidence against law breakers. At the hearing an official of the Department testified that the "undercover man" had been sent to the Timmins area and had been given permission to buy furs from dealers to Oobtain evidence in his investigations. No money was given him, but he was given a fur ‘buyer‘s license under an assumed name and there was an underâ€" standing that he would ‘be repaid by the Department for purchases resulting in what the Department considered ‘""worthwhile evidence‘" against illicit dealers. mnuonlsdlrecwd,tma week to the work of the young ladies who supervise the Timmins playgrounds â€". detailed in a story on this page. in the belief that all children should learn to play, and that play can best be learned under supervision, we take time out to ask all parents to give consideration to the facilitiese offered by Timmin‘s playgrounds.

Kiwanian George Knowles gave a very effective review of the aims and objects of the Welfare Council, what it had already done, and what it hoped to accomplish. The report on the returns from the circus sponsored by the Kiwanis was a very satisfactory one, and brought general applause. A vote of thanks was passed by President Ross and the committee in charge of the event fQr the success of the enterprise, and in responding, President Ross thanked all the members of the club for the way they had supported the event and worked to make it a success. The main objective of the Welfare Council, now, he said, was to have a fullâ€"time, salaried director to plan proâ€" grammes and supervise all the various activities. Such an official was essenâ€" tial for the real success of the work. Oone third of the cost would be borne by the Ontario Government, under new legislation, and the balance would be raised by a mill rate on taxation. The Welfare Council, he ‘explained, consisted of nine men, two from each of he four service clubs in town, and the ninth member being a repreâ€" sentative of the town council. President G. N. Ross reminded the members of the district Kiwanis conâ€" vention, to be held at St. Andrew‘sâ€" byâ€"theâ€"Sea on September 4th and 5th, and suggested that members planning to attend should‘get in touch with the secretary. ; Community singing was led by Kiâ€" wanian F.

Miller of New Liskeard and are expected to survive. Six of their number, tethered in the western portion of the building, were subjected to flames shooting along the wall for about fifteen minutes before firemen were able to make their way Visitors for Marriott and Kiwanian Harry Wright reported for the Boy Scouts Committee. The horses were stalled in two secâ€" tions of the building and those suffoâ€" cated by smoke were untouched by the blaze.
