His: early training in North York, his educaâ€" tion and post graduate. work, his service in the Great War, his occuâ€" pation â€"during the reconstruction years and his general association with men and women all over Canâ€" ada have given him a real opporâ€" tunity to realize the needs of the people and give expert advice, in the matter of solving today‘s probâ€" lems. Captain Dix is a man of exâ€" ceptional ability. Any part of his record of service, if examined, will show that he is a born leader and a man of high ideals, with a keen insight into human needs, a man who has made sacrifices for others and is still ready and willing to serve his fellow man. Today the electors of Canada are being called upon to select a govâ€" ernment which will give definite leadership in a time of great emerâ€" gency, by selecting the very best leaders from their respective conâ€" stituencies. If the resources of Canâ€" ada in man power and material are to be conserved and utilized to the best end, then only the finest brains in the Dominion can be enâ€" trusted with the task of adminisâ€" tration.

BILL WHITMAN WESTON 1210 "Mr. Rogers is neither military minded nor is he acquainted with the militia," he said. "He is still the secretary of Prime Minister Mackenzie King and Mr. King does not want aggressive action." The Department of National Deâ€" fence according to the speaker is run by a "schoolmaster, totally unsuited for the office while his staff of adâ€" visors" are officers who should have been pensioned of years ago. i ooonnin0n000000000000000000000000000000 0000000 0000000000000 in away from enlisting than one can mention," he said. "In my opinion the air force officials are afraid to take into the service men who posâ€" ‘sible know more about flying than they do. Therefore we see some of our best flyers in Canada leaving to offer their services in Finland. In my opinion it is disgraceful. Col. Cockeram was definitely of the belief that political broadcasts by the Department of National Deâ€" fence should be discontinued if the King gag rule was to continue. "My first radio speech was slashed to ribbons. You wouldn‘t have recogâ€" nized it from the original. I know the true facts about our war preâ€" paredness and so do other war veterans, and intend blasting them. A Field Untilled $ (Winnipeg Tribune) No ovne in authority at Ottawa has yet made serious attempts to sell the justice of Canada‘s cause and the nobility of her war effort to thousands upon thousands of our citizens who are not of Angloâ€"Saxâ€" on â€"or French descent. More than 50 per cent. of the population of these prairies is of nonâ€"British orâ€" igin. The fund of loyalty to Canâ€" ada among them is very great. Few intelligent moves have been made to encourage or make use of this loyalty. David Lewis, CCF candidate in West York, Dr. Luke Teskey, who is Mr. Noseworthy‘s official agent, T. L. Teeter and H., A. Hatfield also spoke at last week‘s meetings. M. J. Coldwell, M.P., will speak at Vaughan Road Collegiate on Fri: day, March 15. & The old parties had failed in neâ€" gotiating the peace treaty at the end of the last war, Mr. Noseâ€" worthy pointed out. The same misâ€" takes must not be made again. In common with the great Labor parties ‘of Britain, New Zealand, and Australia and kindred parties in France and other countries, the CCF would work for a peace treaty that would â€"safeguardâ€" the world‘s future rather than sow the seeds of another major conflict in the next generation, _ _ _ _ _ C emememneneinennnnnonnnonin00e0000000000m000000000000 000 c00000 Neither of the old parties could be trusted to undertake these things, They could be accomplished only by the driving power of public opinion expressed through a strong CCF representation in Parliament. Mr. Noseworthy told his Rawlinâ€" son School audience that the CCF advocates soldiers‘ insurance and unemployment insurance, and scienâ€" tific preparation for postâ€"war soâ€" cial reconstruction. And while the war is on," he said, "there must be no more profiteering on war conâ€" tracts, graft and inefficiency must be eliminated, soldiers and proâ€" ducers and consumers must get a square deal, and democratic rights must be protected." _ € c3 The CCF Candidate for South York has been greeted by enthusiâ€" astic crowds in Weston, Mt. Dennis, Silverthorn and Oakwood in the last ten days, and continues his campaign in Forest Hill and Humeâ€" wood this week. At every meeting he appears to be winning new supâ€" port by his@ clearâ€"cut presentation of the CCF program for winning the war and preparing for afterâ€" theâ€"war problems. Offers of assistâ€" ance have come lately from a numâ€" ber of great war veterans and from several other sources. â€" "William Lyon Mackenzie led a rebellion in 1837 because Canadians were denied the right of responâ€" sible government. In 1940, W. L. Mackenzie King has done the very thing against which his grandâ€" father rebelled." In these terms J. W. Noseworthy, in a powerful speech before a large audience in Rawlinson School, denounced the Prime Minister‘s action in virtually abolishing Parliamentary governâ€" ment and refusing to submit his Government‘s war record to Parliaâ€" ment. \ Notices under this heading are charged at the rate of 50 cents for the first three lines and 20 cents for each subsequent line_ Advertise your Coming Events now!
