The text of the letter despatched to Prime Minister King following the meeting is as follows: -- May 11, Hon. Wm. L, MacKenzie King Prime Minister Ottawa, Canada Dear Sir: 'At a general membership meeting held in Local 222 Union Hall on Wednesday, May 5th, a report was received from a delegation of our Women's Auxiliary who wers part of the delegation from the House- wives Consumers League who comn- verged on Ottawa on April 15-16-17 1948 ition to the government regarding rolling back prices. They also re- quested that the Cabinet receive a delegation who intended to lay their views before the Ministers in par- | son, After recelving the report, great resentment and indigriation was voiced by our members regarding the reception that was given these delegates by the Governmenf, who | absolutely refused to meet them to hear their representations or discuss | their problem with them in any way, shape or form. Our members have instructed us to convey this resent- ment of the treatment accorded the | delegates to you, and through you ion, giving a delegation of this kind | the reception that you gave them ernment which you claim to be. We understand that one of the main reasons why you refused to Interview this delegation or to re- ceive their petition was that they | were "Red tinged".

Garbed in a floor length dress of filmy pale blue material, em- broidered with silver thread, Mrs. Campbell amazed her listeners when she informed them that 'her dress had been made from pine- apple leaves. The silver thread was also a product of the delicious fruit. Mrs. Campbell's talk dealt with Jife In the islands and various in- teresting episodes of her life while there. Her talk was most interesting. Owing to the small number pres- ent, main items of business were loft over for the June meeting. Mrs. Jimmy Hare was appointed treasurer to fill. Mrs. G.

Mother's Day service, leaflets issued by the Ontario Religious Education Coun- cil, the theme of which was "Stand- ards of worth o'er all the earth." The service was interspersed with several songs, a story "The Broken Tubes" by Mrs. Howard Hoskin, and ap- propriate music. With the playing of quiet music by the regular pianist, A. E. May- cock, the pupils and teachers from the Primary Dept. filed into the auditorium and took their places at the front of the room. Their ren- dition of the familiar primary tune "I Love Mother, Yes I Do" was much enjoyed. Two solos by Mis "Mother's Prayers" Lord Jesus" added program. The speaker, Mrs. enezer, rounded out her talk on "Mothers" and "Homes" with the use of several poems, particularly pleasing being the well-known "It Amy Sargent, and "Fairest much to the Pierce of Eb- Takes a Heap of Livin"" by Pdgar | Guest. Emphasizing the fact that Mo- ther's job is a full-time one that never ceases and that her love en- dureth all things, as shown in Cor- inthians I, verse 7, mothers the world over are honored in the fact that a special day has been set aside for them.

Entertain Brides-Elect Two brides-elect of this month, both residents of Farewell Avenue, were entertained last week when they were guests of honor at mis- cellaneous showers which had been planned for them. The first one, held at the home of Mrs, George Kilpatrick, former- ly Ruby Martin, was in honor of Miss Jean Cordy. About 25 neigh- bours and friends had assembled to surprise Jean with gifts and good wishes. A large prettily decorated clothes basket full of intriging looking packages was placed before her and yielded a nice array of pyrex and mixing-bowl sets, pic- tures, towels, etc. After a few games had been | played, a delicious lunch was serv- ed by the hostess, assisted by her mother, Mrs, T. D. Martin. Good- byes were later said, as the happy get-together came to a close. The second shower, this one for Miss Joyce Black, a bride-to-be of this week, was given by Mrs. George Day, assisted by daughter {Nancy at her home, also on Fare- well Avenue, on Friday evening, May 17. Seating the guest of honor under an archway decorated with white and silver paper hells, gifts includ- ing china, kitchen ware and linens were unwrapped. A shower book was passed among the guests for suitable verses and signatures. Spring flowers, white tapers, and a delicious lunch adorned the din- ing room table. Logs blazing in the open fireplace added a touch of warmth and cheer. Several games of bingo were played and after a very enjoyable evening, good-byes were said and all left for their respective homes. Personals The "Harteen Class" of Harmony Sunday school are holding a social evening at the school this coming Friday evening, commencing at 8:30 o'clock.

Drew Wants (Continued from Page 1) ber of the was 'allowed to report on his own ministry." Not a Democrat "Mr, Drew is trying to show that he is: the only man to do all these things: for Ontario; in other. words a one man show; or else he is afraid to. trust 'his own ministers" the speaker declared. "In either case he is not fit to be premier, There is no team work. Drew wants to be captain and the whole team as well. "Mr. Drew is not a democrat. He would be a dictator if he could get enought power. He is a dictator at heart." Mr. Campbell charged that the Drew regime has gone on a spending spree, tossing away millions of dol- lars but not showing any increased services for the added expenditure. He pointed to the re-opening of On- tario House in London and the mon- ey that had been spent on it. The estimates for Ontario House in the latest budget was some $400,000--an increase of about 150 per cent. While Ontario House had played a part in bringing in 7,000 immigrants with great ballyhoo, these 7,000 represent- ed about one-tenth of the immi- grants who came $0 the Dominion from the Old Country, he continu- ed, The larger immigration scheme had been carried out by the King government without fanfare. "The Drew government has lost all sight of the value of dollars," Mr. Campbell stated. "They are spend- ing at a rate which the province cannot afford." While at present. there is the greatest number of cabinet ministers in the history of the province, if the Liberals were returned to power, many of the ministers could be elim- inated. One minister could take charge of two departments and thus effect a saving, Mr. Campbell con- | tinued. He also pointed to the rapid rise in the civil service list without | the public gaining any benefit by | increased services. Scores Tax Policy Mi. Campbell lashed out at the Drew taxation policy. Taxation in the province had increased three- fold with nothing to show for it. As leader of the Liberal Party, | Farquhar Oliver is in favor of giving agriculture a stimulus, the speaker continued, pointing out that at pre- sent the average age of farmers is the highest in history. Young peo- ple are needed on the farms but the price of farms is too high. Mr. Oliver, he said, proposed that the government guarantee loans up to 80 per cent of the purchase price to experienced young farmers, to at- tract the younger generation back to the land, He is also in favor of a Soil Conservation Board.

Ask Boycott P.E.L Products Till Ban Lifted Oshawa and District Labor Coun- cil last night decided to ask the Canadian Congress of Labor to im- pose a boycott on Prince Edward Island products if a bill prohibiting existence of unions with affiliation outside the province, was not disal- lowed. An executive committee report recommended that the Council urge the Dominion government to disal- low the recently enacted union law by the P.E.I. legislature which pro- hibits the existence of unions with affiliation outside that province, Se- cretary Mike Fenwick moved the proposed boycott William Rutherford suggested the Council protest to the Ontario Minister of Labor the fact that the Union--now disputing with Rogers- Majestic, Toronto--agreed to a con- ciliation board decision and found the company refused to implement it. Discussing his motion, Mr. Ru- therford said: "A notorious union buster named Brophey is the new manager at Rogers-Majestic. He was hired by Marconi in Montreal at a time when they were breaking unions." Secretary Fenwick declared "they just laugh at us". "When we went to see Drew once before, he said, 'You don't represent labor, I do. They voted for me,' That was a very good answer because somebody vot- ed for him." "But now that an election is on, interrupted Rutherford, "we get, in- stead of a two-line letter, a letter of 12 lines saying our communica- tion is being given careful consid- eration." "Just 10 more lines of guff," said Fenwick. Delegate Rutherford also moved opposition to the LaCroix bill which plans to outlaw the Labor-Progres- sive Party and is so worded that it will outlaw any party purportedly including Communists in its mem- bership. An amendment by Fenwick that it be referred to the Canadian Congress of Labor was carried. Labor Council also carried the motion of Mr, Fenwick that $250 be given to the election fund and on a motion by Percy Clark, City Council {s to be asked to pave &ibbs Street. All affillated unions are to be urged to contribute at least $1 per member to a find to promote the election of C.C.C. candidates and Arthur Willlams and T. D.
