How .Community Spir
FORTUNATELY, CLINTON has been pretty
free of labor disturbances'' in the past and
everyone is thankful for that. Here, the people'
are friendly laird co-operative, and most of them
know each other by his or her first name- •
or nearly so. •
Although the same condition of . affairs
existed a few short weeks ago in the Town of
Paris --a community of some 5,000 souls -it is
' not true to -day, • And the present grim situa-
tion in that strikebound town may all be laid'
at the door of• the Communists. In the nearby
City of Brantford, a sympathy strike is threat-
ened to start next Monday.
The tragic story of Paris' labor troubles
is told in an'. article by Ronald Williams in the
current issne of The Financial Post. . From
a perusal .of this article, it is obvious that '
the Criminal Code of Canada, should be :amend-
ed to include the,beneing' of Communists from
our ordinarily decent and law-abiding trade
nntons, If Communist`s• once •secure control
through their own • devious means, they go to
any lengths . to cause trouble.
Herewith, we publish Mr. Williams' en-
lightening article, in part:
Communists call strikes "working class
training' manoeuvres for greater battle to cotne.
' The small Ontario town of Paris, stood this
'Week as a tragic illustration of what the Reds
and their `class struggle' theory can mean.
In little more than a month, a Communist-
inspire'd and conducted strike at the Paris
textile mills of Penmans Ltd. has torn the
heart out of this once peaceful, friendly com-
munity of 5,000.
• Nothing like it has every happened since
It was incorporated 99 years ago. Today Paris
es a town divided. There's even talk of
cancelling next year's 100th anniversary cele'-
bration.
Yet the decision to strike was made by
only 27 persons! At a meeting attended by
only 51 of the company's 650 employees, the
Vote was 27 for; 24 against,
Since then a mob has marched -on the
Mayor's house. He is now in hospital suffering
it Can "Go to Pieces"
a nervous breakdown.
• There have been a dozen picket -line skir
rnishea between strikers, nonstrikers and. Pro-
vincial -police.
Twenty-five persons have been arrested for,
intimidation, assault and threatening. All but
one are strikers. Four nonstrikers, two strik-
ers, have been injured.
A woman nonstriker has died of a heart
attack, hastened, it . is claimed, by the man-
handling she reeevied when going through a
picketline ;at the beginning of the strike.
This was before the Provincial police were
called' in to restore order. Yet the Communist
Press is screaming that what violence. there
• hes been was provoked by the arrival of the
Provincials. •
Families have been torn ap,art; long standing
friendships destroyed; business interrupted. Men
and women who used to greett each other with
a cheerful,' `hello,' now snarl `scab!'
In tess-than' 40 days, three union organizers,
two of them known to be Communists, a man
. and a woman, have done this to Paris. Their
union is the Red -run AFL 'Textile. Workers,
recognized even in. labor circles as the worst
Communist -controlled AFL union in 'Canada.
In slightly more than a month, the strike they
staged hes torn down . much of that warm
small-towncommunity spirit and friendliness
It had taken Paris nearly 100 years to build.
Where there was friendliness, now there
is hatred. • You can see it in the faces and
hear it in the voices of some of the more
ardent strikers.
The union has been screeching about Pro-
vincial police provoking violence. This is an
old Communist ruse. They pulled it during
the violence -ridden strikes they called in Que-
bec textile mills; the same cry was heard dur-
ing the lawless Canadian Seamen's strike and
during a. dozen other Communist -inspired
strikes which resulted in violence.
The facts are that it was not until the
Provincials moved in that the violence ended..
Until then a Communist -led mob had been
virtually running Paris, .
Editorial Comment . .
THOUGHT FOR TO -DAY -The man who
lets himself be bored is even more contemp-
tible ' than the ' bore.
It is very welcome news to the farmers
of Huron County that tuberculosis testing of
Fettle, under restricted area regulations, will
ttegin immediately; in fact, it has begun in
the -eastern part of the ; County. - Thole . in •,
arge deserve the fullest co-operation of all
farmers until the work is completed.
Clinton might benefit financially from the
inclusion of athletic fields, swimming pools,
and community centres, in the list of com-
munity projects eligible for Government ' as-
sistanee under the Community Centres Act,
c
which received final reading }r1 the Ontario
Legislature Monday. The Towte &ttnCi'1 and
Lions Club -should investigate the possibilities.
."Let's justify our existence in this banner
year of 1949 by attending each and every
meeting!" urges the notice calling the Febru-
ary meeting of Clinton and District Chamber
of Commerce in the Town Council. Chamber at
eight o'clock to -night. It is good advice for
the one , hundred members of the Chamber.
There still is room forr a few 'n'ew niemiiers.
Formation of a Huron County Junior
Farmers' Association in Clinton Tuesday even-
ing was a step in the right direction One of
the objects is to co-ordinate, encourage, and
strengthen. all Junior Fanner and Junior In-
stitute work in the County. The Association
will. give valuable leadership to local clubs.

"Someday"comes closer
with every dollar you save
Most of us have to plan for the good things of life.
And big part of that planning is a matter of dollars
and cents -of earmarking a certain part
of our earnings for the things we want most.
It's not always easy, especially these days;
But the fact remains that what you save is still the
most important -the most satisfying-
part of what you earn.
Are you hoping for something...or saving for it?
