brought thousands of people to YpSant They have stood
for community enterprise and contributed freely to COM

worded by the council will be the general question
carnivals in Ypsant shall the city be opened to carn
walls? This hurts because most people agree that no city
should be open to all kinds of canvas.
The Legion doesn't want such vote because that is
not the real issue The real question is whether the Le
gion should be permitted to stage celebration this year
for returning veterans and have of city park for shows
and rides, though the proposed assembly of shows
and rides comes under the general classification of
carnvas
Yes you can use the park" says the council 'i; the
people vote to open the city to carnivals"
"We don't want the city opened to carnivals, replies
the Legion, but if that the only way celebration can
be staged for returning veterans ask cooperation
of the residents of Ypsant for this tribute to the
of World War H."
The Legion is sincere in belief that returning veterans
are deserving of day of city wide recognition On the
other hand blame residents in the vicinity Of
Recreation park for objection to noise and dust which
celebration there creates.
Granting that both right, the immediate way to
avoid an undesirable campaign this issue, which the
Legion feels is unfairly worded is to think up plan that
will serve the purpose which the Legion has in mind and

the carnival type of celebration.
For next year the Legion has good plan in mind, but
time will permit satisfactory arrangements for 1t this
year.
Here is an opportunity then for good suggestions.
Who has plan that will help the American Legion to
sponsor dav of tribute to the veterans of World War H.
which they will enjoy and appreciate and which will be
commensurate in small degree at least with their sac
rifices for freedom?

and the Soviet Union could be
salvaged, despite his report on a
Russian "hfth column" operating
in Canada.
There are some people who are
saying that We should sever rela.

premier said. II hope that no
view OF that kind will he express
ed by anyone in a responsible post
ton"
King, solemn and grave-faced,
gave a full report in Commons last
night on Russian espionage which
has confronted his government
with AS serious situation as has
existed in Canada at any time"
King revealed that the espionage
ring operated during the war when
Canada and Russia were fighting
common enemy.
He told Commons that the In
