PAGE FoOUR Let‘s face it, and rea‘ize that the Communist boys are really in there fighting. They aren‘t using guns or bombs or pick handles but they are using something far more powerful and destroying. Professor Walter Riddel speaking last Saturday at the University of Toronto Alumnie Association meet‘ng in McIntyre Communisy Centre called it, "Psychological Aggression." And, he said, they are using it to a greater degree than Hitler or Mussolini or the Japenese ever did. Ancther point he brought out was the fact that the Commun‘sts love to align themselves with socialist groups and labor groups. "The labor and socialist parties in Europe," said he, "are the strongest enemié the Communists have." And yet the Communists try to undermine the peoples of the world by declaring that they are backing the socialist and labor groups. Let‘s face it‘ Let‘s face the fact that in this area Communist led groups are saying, "If there isn‘t an LPP member in ycour riding, vote CCF, as it will be a vote in the right direction." Let‘s face that and see what it means. It means this: that the Communists are trying to undermine what they consider the least likely to succeed party, in the election and thus bore into the very heart of the Canadian worker. If the CCF is discredited by their insidious propaganda they will have won. â€" How is that? you say. Well here‘s how. With the CCF on the sidelines After the election smoke and hot air has blown away, the LPP can then say that they are the only true leaders‘of the workers left. Too, they can say that the CCF was not properly organized and they can do a better job of beatâ€" ing the Capitalists. : The CCF party is not fooled by Communist manoeuvers but many people who are ord‘narily in sympathy with the Left and liberals AVC, Let‘s face it and not be caught in the toils of the Communist proâ€" poganda machine. us not sleep while the Trojan Horse is beâ€" ing pulled through the gates awaiting the moment to spew forth an army which would ruin us enfirely. Let us not be taken in by their seductive, winning talk. Let‘s face it, and in facing it realâ€" ize fully what is going on, and try to do something about it. The propaganda machine is go‘ing full blast. Last Saturday an article appeared in the Globe and Mail which discredited the DP‘s in the eyes of Canadians. â€" It tried to put across the idea that the DP‘s are nothing but Nazis and should be carefully guarded from Canadians who had fought against them. The insidious lie was started and it is hard to tramp out. The days of the big lie are again upon us and we must be prepared. The CCF Party has never solicited the help of the LPP‘s and atâ€"~ cording to their leaders, Canadians all, and honest men, despite what we think of their economic viewpoint, they are entirely opâ€" posed to the support of the LPP party which is being thrust upon them under protest. We feel, that despite all the campaign speeches by Mr. Colin Campbell â€"and Mr.â€"Drew, they know in their hearts that the CCF is a purely Canadian organization, aimed at trying to work out for Canada what they believe to be a better econecmy for all Canadians. Mr. E. B. Jolliffe, K. C., is a reputable Toronto lawyer and has among his aides such men as Andrew Brewin, another Torcnto lawyer who shares offices with Chief Justice McRuer of the Ontario Supreme Court who is one of Canadas staunchest Tories. In the same office is Mr. A. J. P. Cameron, who is a leading Liberal and ran unsuccessâ€" fully in High Park riding during the last federal election. _ Such men are not likely to be friendly with anyone who was connet¢ted with Commuinsts. This newspaper is not trying to play up to any group or play favorites in the elections. Neither are we trying to influence any group or groups, but we are trying to be fair in presenting at this time some facts which may not be known to the general public, who, by not kncowing them may listen to the whispers of hate. Canada is still a democracy, no matter what we feei or say at times, we all realize that we will get a hearipg if we have anything worthwhile to offer, and we want to keep it that way. It would be to the disâ€" credit of this editor to keep off paper what he believes in his heart to be the truth. _ The truth shall make us free, . Let‘s face it! Members Canadan Week!y Canada $2.00 Per Year The Town of Timmins has been in the habit of asking for tenâ€" ders from all types of contractors for all types of work done within the town limits, _ It is the general rule for the Town Council to decide which tender properly fills the bill as to price and ability to do the work properly. The subject of tenders caused a bit of byâ€"play in the council chambers a week ago. The question arose in council whether or not the lowest tender would be the one to do the job or whether the job should be given to a local contractor if his price was within a few hundred or so dollars of the price thought to be fair. Now if the local contractor is going to get the job whether or not anyone else bids for it or ncot, then why should the council ask for outside tenders? ToO, if the Town feels that they can get just as good work OoUut of the local contractors at a fair price then there is a1§o no nged tp ask outside contractors to submit a tender as there is 1.1ttl(f likeliâ€" hood of the tender being accepted. But, if the C}ounm} wishes to continue the tender agreement and have outside firms bid for .tlit‘ll ‘avor then they must examine every tender carefully and logically to see that the contractor is dealing fairly with the town as to .COSt and also nct selling himself short just in order to get the con_t.lact.

Lake 2{th, 1948 "A man in a thousand‘" If any man could be referred to in these torms with full justice and aptâ€" noss. and with all honour to the others in the thousand, that man was Jack Munroe. â€" Pioneer prospector of Porâ€" cupine, star footballer, heavyweight pugilist miner, prospector in Cobalt and Elk Lake, "mayor of Elk Lake," and here of the Princess Pats Regiâ€" ment. â€" to give him a fewâ€" of the many honourable titles he won in his busy, genial and adventurous life., Jack Munroe was generally credited with being the first man from Porcuâ€" pine to enlist for overseas service in the CGreat War of 1914â€"1918 â€" one in over a thcusand â€" first of a thousand! Of course, there was thecpossibility that this pionesring prospector was not the first enlisted Porcupine man. There were some others put forward for that honour. The truth seems 10 be that so many of the pioneers of Poreupine hurried to join the forces in 1914, some hurrying from Porcuâ€" pine Camp to the nearest recruiting depot, and others who happerted to be in the South on buriness or holiday not waiting to return before enlisting, that it might be difficult to know who was first by a few minutes or a few hours.

Although there was practically no time to advertise the meeting or to even make the ocâ€" casion known, there were over 850 people present at the theatre, and a large number had to be turned away for lack of further room. : Mayvor J. P. McLaughlin presided at the gathering, and in very effective way explained the purpose of the meeting. "We desire to do honour," caid Mayor McLaughlin, "to the Reâ€" turned Soldier, who was one of the lirst piloneers in the Porcupine and in the North, the first soldier to enlist from the Porcupine, so far as known, and the first member of the first Canâ€" adian Expeditionary Force to set fo0t upon the land of France."

Trade President T. F. K@x)g In his address, T. F. King poiniled out that in so swiftly "recording his claim" to serve King and Country, Jack Munroe had had the privilege of bélongingâ€" to Canada‘s most celeâ€" brated fighting corps.â€" the Princess Patricia‘s â€" "a regiment," he said, "that had been in the thick of the fray from the outset â€" a regiment that sutâ€" fered <seven thousand casualties . in two years‘ fighting, and has eayned for itself a name that will live forâ€" ever." © Pte. Munroe‘s response was that of a modest man and a good seldier. Beneatii his manly words of grateful appreciation, it was easy, to see that what he wished to say was that he had always loved the North and its people, and to have won their affecâ€" tion wids the highest honour he had ever won. All through the evening one thing seemed to disturb him â€" the crowd was paying too much attention to him, and not enough to his pal on the platform, “Bobbyg Burns," a Scottish EOO onl s *n 4i E6 e o w o ons e P E collie, mascot of the Princess Pats. Jack mademany affectionate referâ€" ences to Bobby in his brief address. There was glamour too, about the handsome â€" soldier‘s handsome dog. Bobby was smuggled overseas, with the regiment,.and later, despite all the precautions of the brass hats, Bobby was smug@led into France. How this was accomplished is a military. secâ€" ret, but the fact is that when the smuggling proved successful, the officâ€" ers gave at least tacit allowance for the beloved collie to remain with the regiment he loved, and all of whose members loved him, éven the brass hats. After touching on the great services to Canada and to the cause of liberty given by the guest of the evening and the others serving Ooverscas, Reeve Kennedy promised that South Porcuâ€" pine, as usual, would not be far beâ€" hind â€" Timmins, and that Pto. Jack Munroe would very shortly be pubâ€" licly honoured at South Porcupine. As usual, «Reeve Konnedy‘s word was good. It was only a few days after the gathering in Tiummins that a similar event was staged in South Poreupine, and an address and were presented to Pte. Jack Munroé. Tha Maiectie Theatre was crowded As usual, Koennedy S Wuru was good. It was only a few days after the gathering in Tiummins that a similar event was staged in South Poreupine, and an address and were presented to Pte. Jack The Majestic Theatre was crowded to capacity for the occasion.. Jack Munroe â€" himself claimed â€" afterwards that the South Porcupine event was even better than the gelightful one in Timmins. "The Seuth End people made a big fuss over Bobby Burns," he said. In any event there was a full eveilâ€" lush description as "skies Of a VAaAsSt blueness and soft refreshing winds and children gamboling on the soft green grasses." "A platypus‘ idea of spring," ho said, "is a time of gentle. warm weather. Yesterday was chosen as a day a platyâ€" pus would like." He theon went into a long d‘scussion of the platvous‘ dietâ€" ary â€" fancies, including earthworms, mealworms, crayfish bullfrogs and egg custard. . He touched on the high cost of living in the platypusary, and °xâ€" plained away the Lâ€"cent admission charge by saying that worms were going at a cent apiece on the open market, that a platypus ate 120 a day, and that the miserable little misf‘ts were so tempermental that they were apt to up and die if thevy weren‘t stuffed on â€"TLâ€"uisiana crayfish and Carolina °1 One Man in a Thousand By G.

The Editor Dear Sir:â€" With reference to Premier Drew‘s speech over the air May 24th last. at 10.30 p.m. wherein he thoroughly deâ€" nounced Mr. Jolliffe, the CCF leader in Opntario, concerning the latter‘s cri!icism of the Provincial Police, 1 wish to state that, considering Mr. Drew has just returned from a lenâ€" gthy trip to Northern Ontlario, he must think we are'just plain dumb in the North to expect us or anyone else to believe in the prowess oT abilâ€" ity of the Provincial Police, when we have in recent years, and months, also even of days duration only, anyâ€" thing from a dozen to a score of unâ€" .solved major crimes, includirg such eases as the Gold Ridge Stock farm murder, the hit and run "Back Road" murder, Kidikel murder, the regsent Deluca murder, and many other inâ€" dictable cases too numerous to inenâ€" tion. Probably Mr. Jolliffe realâ€" izes the serious jeopardy the people are in with the perpetrators of those ghastly crimes, still running around at large, through the elementary meâ€" thods and inability of the Provincial Police, to cope with the same. FPurthermore, an expensive squad of them are in their element checking a bunch of weary miners when leaving ~the mines, reinforcing the Summary Motor Vehicle Act, or as in the past, checking him regarding his registraâ€" tion card and having a mine‘s identiâ€" fication disc, lunch pail carrying minâ€" er fined $5 and costs for not having his reigstration card, for whch I can vouch, when coming from underâ€" ground, but when it comes to protectâ€" ing him and his family from the criâ€" minal it seems Mr. Jolliffe must have a better or broader definition of what and who constitutes supervision of crime and law *enforcement than Preâ€" Letters to the Editor iA ntertainment.â€" There . was an g patriotic address by Reeve y, and happy speeches by lors Boyle and MeDougall and cillor Culbert, the latter readâ€" formal address and making the ation of the purse to the reâ€" t hero.

Remember that for some 30 years Murray was the tactician, the operaâ€" tional chief of the United Mine Workers and that, when he split with the blustering John L. Lewis, old Eyebrows began floundering. Sqo it‘s an old coaldiggers‘ technique, Murray plans to use when his curâ€" rent noâ€"strike contract ends on May 1, 1949. And part of that tactic is to go on the offensive long in advance of the walkout, pick up steam, get his million followers ready for an all out assault on big steel, the symbol of big industry. The assault has begun. Murray, if you watch closely from now Oon, will tougher about big business than any of the professional radicals, faor whom he has nothing but contempt, by the way. Me‘ll talk as he did at the CIO clothing workers convention in Atlantic City the other day. ‘ The CIO, its president said, has no more use for the swashbuckling monâ€" opolist, that greedy selfish pirate of American buiness than it has for the se!â€" fish, greedy forms of either fascist or Communist dictatorships." That‘s the first CIO slogan â€" down with the monopolists. Then comes the campaign against profits. "I+ (the CIO) cannot lend comfort to a system which provides approximâ€" ately seventeen or eighteen billion dollars worth of net corporale profits to American business. The CIO contends that there is too much extortion being practiced by American business. _ "We don‘t have in the US. what might commonly be regarded as a sys tem of true free enterprise. We have in the U. S. today a form of commercial piracy, hijacking and racketeering and the CIO can lend no comfort to that. "We have in American business today a great many selfish men and a great many selfish interests and it should be the business of a movement such as ours in the interests of our country . . . to urge the institution here of a type of balanced economy that will provide for all the people a more equits able distribution of our national wealth." That‘s class warfare taik, and Murray knows it sut uha get up steam and carry his people along when he throws i steel workers on the picket lines. And he believes that such picket lines will be necessary i1 what he calls a "lean year for labor."
