Good Field For Council Seldom have Oshawa electors had a more favorable op- portunity of selecting a good City Council than this year. Both in number and quality the men (and one woman) of- fering to serve as mayor and aldermen average higher than usual and the electors should have no difficulty in voting a | full ballot. Indeed, they may have some difficulty in confi y ing. their selection to ten names for' council Business and professional 'men who have made a aonits council--19 in all--and it is up to the electors to go to the ..| polls on Monday in large numbers and show their apprecia- 7| tion of the willingness of these candidates to offer their Y services. They ali deserve credit, whether elected or defeated. | "FELL TREE TO SAVE CAT Lag Behind? | 3 cue a six-month-old cat, workmen felled a 60-foot tree. . their own affairs and Tabor men who have the |: :| endorsement of their fellow-workers nfake up the list for "Bath, England -- (CP) -- To res- | 7 Of Le Windsor --Four-year-old Pat- sy Mitchell, one of a group of entertainers, went to the hospi- tal room of a friend with a broken leg, slipped as she was dancing, ended up with a bro- ken leg herself.

I have on different occasions pub- licly affirmed that I am a member of no party. This apparently does 1 publisher of the Courier. I think it is about time that the public knew why Mr. Walker always attacks me. In 1943, prior to the municipal eleétion campaign, the Courfer was asked by the Labor- Progressive Party to print some handbills supporting a slate of labor candidates, I may say this support was unsolicited by the candidates at that time or by the unions who sponsored the candidates. Instead of delivering - the hand- 'bills to the person who ordered them, Mr. Walker gave advance coples to one of the mayoralty can- didates. Because of Mr, Walker's 'unethical business conduct, the Oshawa and District Labor Council decided to refrain from advertising in the Courier. Since then, the Courier has con- Sistently attacked the Oshawa and District Labor and its officers. As a result of this, Local 222, United "Automobile Workers, the Council 'and other unions decided to refuse 'advertising to Mr Walker's throw 'away sheet. In retaliation, the Cofirier is now attac! various unionists. It has fothing to go on but just hearsay. 'And it appears that the only way we can get the Courier from re- fraining from labelling us as Com- JRimists is to buy plenty of advertis- g space. We won't waste the hard- éarned money of our members to tinance a throw-away sheet. If it were a legitimate newspaper and used its editorial columns to disagree with labor that would be a different thing. We welcome con- structive criticism. But we will fight any attempt to disrupt the labor movement under the guise of at- tacking communism, I urge the voters not .to fall for the Courier's red bogey. M. J.
