.which' culminated in a' nominat-
ing convention and the'placing of

Opposition in`-SaskatLhewarl, ani
A., M. "Sandy" Nicholson, "C.C.F.
Member Of the Federal' House fpr

• . Joynt acted as chairman al
though "Sandy" admitted that
' "Wes is • not 'a member . of : the
o C.C.F. as yet". Mr. Joynt ; said it
Was an honor and al pleasure to
welcome "our. own home boy". •
Mr. ' Brockelbank; Speaks '
Mr. Brockelbank; a native'
•
•
f.
•Grey County, . who went West
with his parents as a child, spoke
briefly, 'recognizing the fact . that
this particularaudience ,was most
interested in hearing • Mr. Nich-
olson.. • '
Mr. Brockelbank referred to
the collapse of 1929, , and the
subsequent wave of unemploy-
meet . and . poverty, as . circum-
stances which brought;,about the,
birth of the C.C.F. It `was born
of a }feed and a demand he said..
The'. C.C.F. •is. owned,. supported
and controlled by: the working
peop'le,he said,unlike the two old
parties whose campaign funds
are provided by big companies,
"who pay the piper and call- the
tune". Mr. Brockelbank contend=
ed that there can be a post vicar
of 'prosperity such as we have
never known. But the C.P.R. or
Canada ,Packers will net give us
this new world. "Our destiny' is
in 'our . hands and if .we tackle
the job. we can, sole it", he con-
eluded.
4' Social Planning Nec• essary
Mr. Nicholson, in addressing a
• large audience which' had by then
gathered, aid,it' was encouraging
.. in these . busy days to see so many
come out.' Between wars we have
failed to take seriously our re-.
sponsibilities in a democracy, he
,.. :'said:
Prior to the 'war we insisted on
cheap Jap goods, :in return for
which they _received Materials. of.
war° . with which • they poured
down death on. the Chinese. When
M ssolini .marched into Ethiopia
n when Spaniards . shed . their
b ood in defence of democracy,
we in Canada'observed a policy
of aloof neutrality. •
But now We must realize that
the world . is 'a family, if civil-
ization is to continue. Never again.
can.• . we 'say that the fate of the
yellow or the. black race is no
concern of ours.
Ten years ago the people of
Germany's gave Hitler complete
power. Had they to live their
lives over 'again; the history of .the world would be different. Mr.
Nicholson urged the preserving.
of democratic rights; urged send-
ing to Parliament those who will.
be responsible : "to you" and you
alone" and 'who will legislate in
the best interests. We have had
the old. parties. in . power, turn
about; since :Confederation and it
has made very little difference to
the people, he said.
"We claim that the present sys-
tem in, -:operation has allowed
great monopolies to arise and
*ice control the. mins, the banks, the
transportation facilities, the raw
materials, to. fix prices to be paid
at a- low level' and prices to be
charged at a ,high level", said Mr.
Nicholson.

So far as we know: the only
."depth charge'"board in Lucknow
is at •Thompson's. Store. Each of

With the purchase of 'each . dol-

is attached to the :beard. When
all the spaces are filled, the price

scribed and the "depth charge"
board will be:sent to one 'of Can-

theme are delivering the goods.
Four kiddies could ' each Con-
tribute a quarter to` buy a space,
or one I person could buy ' the
whole board if he wished.
