It's just natural for women

Something or Them
No matter how earnest their

right in to help and it really
looked nice. The cast has been
practising every afternoon until
very late and sometime at night.
The costumes arrived Friday
and, of course, the members of
the cast were excited over their
attire. There were such remarks
as, "Oh! My costume is too little, y
or, "Tres charmante" (in English,
Every charming".) The costumes

This is the ramark one of the

he left the Freshman Frolic Sat-
urday night. Miss May was in
charge of all games and some
proved to be a little rough. I
don't mean to criticlse the
games, but if you had been
there you would know what I
mean. One particular game that
everyone enjoyed was one in
which the girls got into circle
and the boys made a circle
around them. The girls went
clockwise and the boys counter

OF course, you all know
straight line is the shortest
distance between two points and
so the center of the ring was
the way everyone went to get
his or her partner. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hamilton joined in with the
games and they, too, found it a
wee bit rough, but fun. Miss
May had dancing games, volley-
ball games and numerous other
kind. Punch and cookies were
served and the gym was beauti-
fully decorated in bright color
ed paper. This party was just
for the freshmen, but the social
marshals were in charge of help
ing Miss May so they were the
only upperclassmen admitted.
When Mr.. Chase announced the
end of the dance, there were
cries of dissatisfaction. I believe
that this was the biggest affair
that has ever been held in the
high school and the freshmen
really showed up in a big way.

Canada Checks
Communism
BY Robert BnnneIe

OTTAWA.-Canada, concerned b,
an irritation to its snug and moder.
ate way of life and politics, is NOV.
ling against communism.
The campaign, blessed by the gov
ernment, by capital and by much
of labor's leadership, has these pub
lie manifestations:
l. Leaders of the major political
parties are condemning at every op-
portunity what they regard as the
subversive aims of the Communist
Party. Last month they combined
to defeat a Communist candidate in
ian important by-election.
2. Key figures in the labor move
ment and anti-Communist unions
are urging that known Communists
and fellow travellers be eliminated
from important posts.
3. The Canadian government Is
quietly screening its civil service
against Communist infiltration ano
using special division of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police to study
and report on communistic activ-
tiles.
Ten Already Convicted.
Within a little more than a year
Communists have delivered SEN
sational charges to give substance to
Canada's fears.
First, Igor Gouzenko, a cipher
clerk in the Soviet Embassy in Ot-
tawa, told the Canadian government
in September, 1915, of a widespread
conspiracy he said Russians had
engineered to get information about
atomic bombs. secret war materiel
and other highly confidential mat
ters.
The resulting espionage investi-
cations and trials already have re-
suited in the conviction of 10 per-
sons.
The second f1areup, last month
was the announcement of j. A.
(Pat) Sullivan, self-styled ex-Com-
munist and one of Canada's top
labor figures, of his resignation as
president of the Canadian Seamans S
Union because he had become t'con-
vinced that the interests of organ
lied labor are being subverted by the
agents Of communism to their own
ends"
Liberal Member of Commons Will
frid Lacreix of Quebec has intro
duced bill seeking to outlaw the
Communist Party.
Labor Leaders Stand.
The attitude Of some top labor
leaders probably is typifsed by A. r
Mosher, president of the powerful
Canadian Congress of Labor (paral-
leling the CTo of the United
States), who wrote in the Canadian
Railway Employees monthly for Feb
ruary:
while the extent OF Communist
|infltration In the Canadian labor
movement is greatly exaggerated
nevertheless 1t is important that Of
fcers and members OF labor organi-
cations be on their guard against
members whose loyalty to the Com
munist Party transcends their 10y
atty to the union" He added the
Communist Party follows the orders
of Russia, uses unions to promote
the purposes of the party rathe,
than the welfare Of union member.
