HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1953-03-05, Page 4THE FIRST . COLUMN (By W. II, C.) Last week two meetings were held in Toronto; At one, The Rev, Hew- lett Johnston, better known as the "Red Dean" was selling Russia to Canadians; At the other John Fisher was selling Canada to Canadians, Each meeting had a capacity crowd and each had a real message. The- Ited Dean's message was simply that all Canadians should love the Rus- . clans who were striving harder for peaee than any other nation in the world. I presume the Russians he was referring to are the same ones that are helping the North Kor- eans and Red Chinese kill Canadian soldiers in the Korean war, At the other meeting C B C storyteller John Fisher held an audience spellbound with tales of the Canada that he saw and knew. This second meeting was an annual affair held by The Employees Welfare Service Fund where officers were elected to guide this worthy project through the conning year. In 1952 through the efforts of this non profit organiza- tion over $750.000. was collected and turned over to Toronto's eight major welfare services. Men frons top level positions in industry, fin- ance and labour give freely of their time to Iead this Fund. At which of the above-mentioned- meetings do you think it required over 100 po- licemen to protect the speaker? * 0 * Sponsored by The J. A, Westeott Jewellery Store, Seaforth.
