Mysterious Pamphlets Distributed In Town "End Of Nazism," Title of Pam- phlet Left on Doorsteps Early Sunday Morning Some of the pamphlets entitled "End of Nazism," were left on door- steps in Seaforth between Saturday midnight and Sunday morning, Mr. John A, Stewart, High street, found one of these pamphlets on his door step Sunday morning. It does not appear many of the booklets were dis- tributed in Seaforth, and no arrests have been made here in connection with the distribution. The pamphlets are alleged to have been published by the Jehovah's Witnesses sect, an outlawed organization. These pam- phlets were distributed at many points in Canada et approximately the same time. The 32 -page tracts are about 5" x 7" in size and have nothing on them to indicate where they were printed, but may have been issued by a large Chicago publishing house. The title, "12 d of Nazism," i printed i red nNa is s p n e on the cover. The contents are said to aim at religious discord and to be 'contrary to what one might expect from the title.
