No spraying, no stickiness, no bad odor. Ask year Druggist, Grocery or General Store. 10 CENTS PER PACKET WHY PAY MORE? THE WILSON FLY PAD CO., Hamilton, Ont, Letter from California 'The following letter was received by Mr. R. S. Lang, 'Toronto, from his son, Mr. Elmore Lang. Box 694, San Pedro Calif., July 17, 1934Dear Father: It’s just a month today since I wrote sending compliments tor “Father’s’-Day.” When I wrote I didn’t tlhijik I would still be on the idle list a month later, in fact' I’ve been off the .pay rol for seven week's today. You will be getting all the strike news in the Toronto papers so there isn’t much more I can tell you. \A general strike was initiated in Frisco yesterday morning which has literally paralyzed all activities and the city is actually confronted with the spectre of hunger. (The general strike was called when the Governor called’ out the National Guard to .patrol the docks, after thvo longshoremen had been killed iby police, two others diied from their wounds, and about twenty others were wounded by police pistols. The strike lhad reached the pro­ portions of :a revolution, and I think the Federal Government will soon step in and settle the controversy by arbitration. The strike situation has been rather peaceful here late­ ly, except for a few violent denion- tsrations by the “Rec-s” who are taking advantage of tlhe opportun­ ity to further their own cause. And they don't try to disguise the fact' that their ultimate object is to overthrow the government: Some of the working class are being apparently carried ahvay iby these spellbinders on their soap boxes, but the .bulk of the American people are too intelligent! and well educated to fall for this Commun­ istic Bunk. They realize that if the communists were in control like they are in Russia, there would be no sudh word as “Liberty’’ any more, and they would be put up against the wall on the slightest pretext. They are only “Destruc- tionists” and should be ruthlessly suppressed. ■In fact there is a secret organi­ zation being formed throughout' the country that has for one of it main tenets, the suppression of these half-baked fanatics, and they will ■be prepared to go the limit if neces­sary. I note that you still think Roose­ velt is leading the country to the “bow-wows”. Accordiing the vote conducted ,by the Literary Digest', THE FAMOUS RUBBING LINIMENT Rub on — pain gone. Get the new large econ­ omy size—Also avail­ able in smaller, regular SPEEDWAY TREAD TIRES At prices no higher than you would pay for "bargain" tires of an unknown make. Come in and see these amazing values. F. W. Clark, M. Peariso, Crediton Grand Bend G. Fi Penwarden, Centralia the people over here don’t think so —not .by a long shot. It is the belief in some quarters, that Roosevelt will eventually evolve a complete new “System” of government where organized money won’t be in control and there will be a more equitable distribution of tlhe “good things” that make life worth while.Using the language of the day, “YTou ain’t seen nothin' yet!” Wait until the next congress convenes and you’ll likely get an eyeful, on the new legislation thati will be passed. When. Roosevelt is sure of tlhe general support that he needs, you will probably see him taking some “Real Strides” in. his New Deal. The “old order’’ is passing, and I believe Roosevelt is the man who will give it the Coup de Grace.I note there is quite a gold rush on in Northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba with new . mines being opened up all the' time. Airplanes taking in supplies and bringing out the gold. Yes, airplanes will soon be as common as autos. There are plenty of lakes in that wild country for them to come down on, Pon­ toons in summer, and skiis in win- ter.Your picture of the simple life on a homestead free worn the wor­ ries of meeting the rewt and other expenses in the city, loolks good on paper, but it doesn’t work out in practice. iTihe winters, are too long up in that country—a dreary life for a, man’s wife, so far from civil­ ization. That sort of life is dandy for a change, but permanent, no thanks!Now a fruit or chicken ranch in Ontario would be more appealing. One would be n the centre of things near to a good town, 'having a car, radio and all of tlhe modern appli­ ances made possible yy the Hydro- Electric. That is my idea of a per­ manent home. And anywayi, I’ve already served my time pioneering in the wilds, That sounds like I’m getting old doesn’t it? No more enthusiasm for the wild and welly. However I have other plans by way of making a living; and working in a. lumber yard for the rest of my days, isn’t part of the' plan.I heartily agree with you when you say the world is on the verge of a “Great Crisis.” And this, will probably culminate in the Greatest' Conflict that the. world has ever seen. Maybe we are on the verges of the ‘Great Battle of Armageddon’ Well I hope this strike will be settled soon, so I can go back to work. It seems that all my vaca­ tions are of the lay-off variety. . I expect things will boom for awhile when the wheels start turning once more. How’s the apple crop this year? Do you expect to make an­ other deal with the firm over in the old country?Your affectionate son, ELMORE CELEBRATES ANNIVBRSARY Mr. and Mrs. Charles Seager.
