As the executive secretary of the League for Socialist Action. As a Trotskyist, he agrees with the views of the Russian theoratician Leon Trotsky, who formed a political party to counter the Communists under the leadership of Josef Stalin. (Trotsky was later assassinated by a Stalinist agent in Mexico in 1039). Ross calls himself a Socialist, rather than a Communist because he is a member of a totally different party. The two parties differ in their views on many questions, such as support of the USSR. and the present Communist Governments in power. He was a candidate for Mayor of Toronto many times. He says he ran to express his political views. The votes he received were insignificant in most cases. by Nils Johnson Ross Dawson is the sort of person you wouldn't expect to come from our district. Although I, and most other people, disagree with his views, still he is an im triguing person. Aossbowson is in his mid ?0't and is a Trotskyist, and "The Canadian Mobile Home and Travel Trailer Association believes that trailer parks should be assessed as any commercial business", said Mr. Southern. "it is unfair to tax them in advance as is now being done".

From kindergarten age up, all the family can have fun in a group potting session outdoors in autumn or on a basement table if the weather is too cold for comfort. Ordinary red clay pots with drainage holes are best. Put some broken pieces of clay pot over the holes to provide better drainage. At a meeting of 100 campsite owners, reeves and members of council of the Great Pine Ridge area Mr. Southern told how un- warrented tax laws that are being applied to recreational vehicle parks are letting tourist dollars slip past the community's doors.

The travel trailer industry is growing rapidly. It is estimated that there are now 244,000 campers, travel trailers, tent trailers in Canada at the present time. A recent survey suggests that within 5 years this number will grow to 444,000. Mr. Southern also pointed out that the average person using campsites and travel trailers are middle aged, above average in income, and travels as a family. The municipalities not wishing to see trailer camps in their communities are living in the past. The gypsy image no longer holds true. "Mr. Richard Nixon's 10 per cent surcharge is not applicable to the tourist dollar", noted Mr. Southern. He considers present employment conditions to be nearly as tough for someone out of work now, as they were then, During the 30's many people in York were out of work with no relief tthere was no welfare), It wasn't un- Amazingly, his background is in York. He was raised on Guestville Ave. and attended York Memorial Collegiate. It was there, he says, he first became involved in the "movement". Ross says he became involved then. the same way radical students become involved in politics today. And for the same variety of reasons - from disenchantment with the government, to social pressures. but in 1948 he received 24,700 votes. He says that was because the C.C.F. tpredessesor of the N.D.P.) didn't run a candidate in that election. He considers it humourous that the day after the election, the Toronto Daily Star ran on editorial which began, "To think there are 24,700 people in this city, who voted for this Com- munist." After the potting session, the bulbs must spend time in a rooting period of three months. The root system is developed when the flower bud is well out of the neck of the bulb. The most depen- dable storage place for the three months is any part of a basement that can be kept between 45 and 50 degrees dollars are being spent by all levels of government to promote tourism.

That's why his group, the League for Socialist Action, is important to him It functions as an influence through criticism and protest he says, to other parties. fThe League for Socialist Action, publishes a bi-monthly tabloid called "Labor Challenge", In which it presents its' views). Occasionally the League runs candidates in elections, when they feel there is no one representing the working people.

It has however, run several Mose campaigns, especially m a few Board of Education trustee mntestx "Today we must realize that Canadians are on the move, the leisure-time practice of camping is growing rapidly. Parks are not keeping pace with the sport and unless govern- ments take some action, we will drive the Canadian tourists to the U.S.A. where camp grounds are available and we will keep the American camper at home", stated Mr. Southern. In protest he helped organize what was possibly the first strike by army personnel. It caused an emergency cabinet meeting and won the same benefits (pay, conditions, etc.) for army personnel working on civilian projects as civilian workmen. During World War II he joined the army and in 1945 was stationed near Oakville. Part of the work there was laboring on the rail lines. He objected strongly to that, because men in the army worked for army pay ($1.35 per day) and under army discipline beside civilian workers making civilian pay and under civilian rules. common to see a neighbor move away because they couldn't afford to live in this area. "Nowadays," says Ross, 'Welfare prevents that from happening in most cases, but employment is bad and there aren't any borough work projects like there were then. The Canadian Standards Association in conjunction with The Canadian Mobile Home & Travel Trailer Association have worked on standards for travel trailers to make them safe. At the present time a standard for parks is being drafted as well. These standards will ensure travellers of clean, well-equipped and well run campsites and parks. When the rooting period has ended the developing flowers are ready to be brought inside. When brought indoors, pots should be placed in a dark storage area (a warm dark closet will do) between 60-70 degrees for one or two weeks in order to get good stem length. When sprints are 5" to 6" high, they can be forced in a bright window. The rest of the story is bright-eyed wonderment at nature doing some of her best work in your own home and the satisfaction that everyone in the family helped in the project. Besides, you'll have an early spring inside when the snow is still deep outdoors. "This is one industry that can help itself as long as governments do not hold it back." F., well ventilated and dark. Water the bulbs regularly. (An alternative is a trench in the garden 18 to M inches deep. The pots can be placed tightly together and covered with a layer of leaves and sand 10 inches deep, and secured by branches or sand 10 secured netting.) In addition to the annually successful holiday hap- penings, two new programs, fine arts workshop . and adventure holiday, are being offered. Holiday happenings Once again at seven locations throughout the borough, boys and girls (i to 11 years of age will take part in a fun-filled four days of special events.

Fresh Mandarin oranges from Japan ___ traditional Yuletide treats across Canada - started arriving in Vancouver November ll. Between now and the beginning of December they are being distributed to stores all over the country in plenty of time for stuffing Christmas stockings, decorating homes and preparing tasty holiday deserts. Even though Japan's 1971 Mandarin orange crop is not as large as it was in 1970 - a bumper year - indications are that Canada will import record quantities again this year with as many as " million boxes of the suc- culent fruit. Last year, 3.7 million boxes of Japanese mandarin oranges came to Canada in time for Christ- mas. As each shipload of Mandarins arrives here, a team of expediters is on hand to see that there are no delays in unloading the cargo and that every nihe- pound box of specially packed oranges is dispat- ched quickly.

Over the years, Mandarin oranges from Japan -e the original Mandarins 9- have become traditional holiday- season tare tor thousands of Canadian families. Sweet, juicy, easy-to-peel Japanese Mandarin oranges are more popular than ever. Demand has continued to increase to the point where Canadians consume more fresh Mam darin oranges than the people of any other country outside Japan. _ The most famous Man- darin orange producing areas of Japan are the hilly districts in the country's southern regions. Four districts account for the bulk of the annual Japanese orange crop; Shizuoka, Kanagawa, Wakayama and Ehime. Pickers start working in the hillside orange groves in mid-October and usually complete deliveries to packers in November.
