MARK INMAN IS 'GUEST SPEAKER "The Battle of the Isms" was the very interesting topic given. by Dr. Mark Inman, of the University of Western Ontario, to the Kinsmen club at their meeting on Friday evening, before the Hallowe'en dance. Dr, Inman started away back in the early times and travelled through the pages of history right up to the present battle between Capitalism and Communism. "Is the capitalism sys- tem going to be allowed to carry on?" was one of the questions he asked the club members, Communism is without a doubt a great danger and menace to our way of life, he stated, and we must all be familiar with it to combat it, For his reason Dr, Inman suggest- ed that everyone should read the Com- munist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx. The speaker was introduced'by Bob Ferguson and thanked by Ross Vegan. The date for the paper drive was set for November 12th, with Kin Jack Gorbutt in charge of the arrange- ments.

It was felt that this vigilance was responsible for pre- venting any unnecessary damage. There were plenty of windows soap- ed and waxed as well as other in- nocent fun. Saturday morning most of the merchants pitched in to clean their windows or hired the youngsters to clean off their own handiwork.
