The only answer to this vote â€"which I have explained as insigâ€" nificant â€" and in which our union people voted no stri}ce as they did in Hamilton last year, is to unite in an irresistible force so that democâ€" racy as practised by the trade unions the world over shall live and there will be .no mark cost upon it by reacâ€" tionary employers." _ Mr. Evans is the first Northefn Ontario director of the _ Ontario Good Roads Association. In . September, 1946, he joined the 1946 Good Roads Tour at Toronto and accompanied his Q.G.R.A. colleagues in a motor trip over the transâ€"Canada Highway as far as Port Arthur. The Daily Commercial News, in which the announcement of the anâ€" nual convention of the O.G.R.A. was made, mentioned that Mr. Evans was Reeve of Tisdale Township "one of the most prosperous township muniâ€" cipalities in Canada." "Local 241 is the certified bargainâ€" ing agent for all hourly rate employâ€" ves at the Hollinger Mine," Mr. Carâ€" lin continued. "The question ‘Do You Want a Strike?‘ was unfair becawe there is actually no issue involved at present. And it was only logical that the employees vote no. We instructed our union men to cast negative votes. And under the cirâ€" cumstances I would have voted ‘no‘ myself. At the 46th annual meeting of the Ontario‘ Good Roads Association to be held in the Royal York Hotel, Torâ€" onto, on February 25 and 26, Reeve Victor H. Evans of Tisdale Township will give an address entitled "The Fuâ€" ture of the North." In asking for a 16â€"cent an hour increase for hourly workers Mr. Carâ€" lin said this increase would merely bring local mine wages to a level with similar workers in Sudbury who were doing similar work. The township embraces a population of 8425, which includes the towns of South Porcupine, Schumacher, Gold Centre, Brousseau Townsite, and the Dome,.

"Nobody wants a strike while there is a possibility of a peaceful settleâ€" ment. _A strike is labor‘s .last resort to attain its ends " Vol. XXXII No. 6 J. D. Brady of the local office of, the London Life Insurance Company. has won master membership in the Leadâ€" ing Producers Club of the London Life for the seventeenth consecutive year.

Leopold Macaulay, K.C., provincial presidert, said that .every flask of blood in Ontarioe hospitals would soon bear the label "Gift of the Canadian Red; Cross Society". The Canadian Red Cross Society will esâ€" tablish a subâ€"clinic with facilities for blood plasma treatment in London which will supply blood of all types free to, those who need transfusions. This service will be the result of the plans of Red Cross for a free peaceâ€" time blood transfusion service. Total production of Canada‘s tobacco industry last vear was believed to have established an allâ€"time high record of more than 134,000,000 pounds. Disâ€" cussing national revenue derived from tobacco, Mr. MacRae estimated that the Federal government receivpd $4,â€" 000,000 per week from the tobacco inâ€" dustry of this country. Mr.: Macaulay seid that the first depot in the Red Cross free blood transfusion service had been opened recently in Vancouver. As soon as final arrangments have been comâ€" pleted by the Ontario Government and the Canadisn Red Cross Society, deâ€" pots will be set up in Ontario. The Ontario Red Cross will organize this peaceâ€"time service along the same efficient. lines. as the blogd plasnin service in war time. Mr. Macaulay pointed out that previously patients requiring transfusion had been forced to pay a minimum of $15 to a profesâ€" sional <~donor. The average Canadian now lights up two cigaretes for every one that he or she smoked before the war. The mnumber of cigars being smoked in this country has also shown a marked inâ€" crease in recent years. Only pipe smokers have failed to increase the quantity of tobacco they use. During the period from 1939â€"1345, the per capita consumption of cigarâ€" ettes rose from 630 to 1,255 and cigars from 11.8 to 18.2.

Canads EVERY THUCRSDAY Popular Now In his address the guest speaker gave a very interesting account of the crigin of the St. John of Jerusalem Order. At the time of the Crusades, knights from Britain had been much impressed by the work of the Order, which cared for the sick and wounded and provided for travellers who had no other place to rest. The Order had teen driven from Jerusalem by inâ€" fidel invaders, but had: established themselves elsewhere to carry on their sgood work. Eventually they went to Mlta where they won world fame for their help to the sick and injured. The speaker suggested that the work of the Order in Malta during the reâ€" cent war helped morale as well as givâ€" ing direct aid to the sick and wounded. Timmins Division was organized. in 1926. In addition to its work in: proâ€" viding first aid for public events, in training in first aid and home nursing, Timmins had prqvided a field hospital for use in the last war. The Division also maintained a hospital comforts depot., which â€"gave freeâ€" service to the community. The importzence of home nursing Courses. was stressed. Since the war the St. John Ambulance had been specializing in blood groupâ€" ing. Over 400 had been typed. Blood typing was of double value. Not only did it provide a list of all types of blood available in â€" emergency, thus saving precious time that might be a matter of life or death, but tpe person who had a blood typecardalsohada big advantage in case he needed a blood t.ranstuston et any. fime. 3 In the Porcupine 8,000 were: ma:m in first aid.
