Pegs Four THE PEOPLES ADVOCATE June 23, ig. “PROFESSOR MAMLOCK’ SCENE THE PEACEFUL and “non-political” Dr. Mamlock tries to re- strain his son Rolf from leaving the house te carry on his undersround activity against the Nazis. A heart-rending scene from the film which starts its Western Canada premier at the Beacon Theater Friday, June 23. Rated Among Ten Best Films During 1938 Season All too rarely does a motion picture come to Canada about which one can say— This is based on actual conditions; this is a true reflection of things that “Blockade” was such a film, “Confessions of a Nazi Spy.” mow another such picture has ap-— peared that cuts through the bar-— rier of “taboo” and deals directly with one of the mest brutal tra- gedies in world history—Germany under Huitier; Liberals, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, workers—under @2 Savage dictatorship whose blood- lust has become synonymous with all that peace-loving people hold in loathing. The film is “Professor Mamlock,” produced in the Soviet Union and written by Friedrich Wolf, fam- ous German exile. The Western Canada premiere of ‘Professor Mamlock’ will take place at the Beacon Theater in Vancouver be- ginning Friday, June 23. The most apt description of this anti-Nazi film is in the words of the New York Heraid Tribune— *it pulls no punches.” Im vivid, searing sequences, the film’s dra- matic story exposes conditions under storm trooper rule—beating of innocent men and women, con- centration camps and torture chambers for progressives and re ligionists, starvation and exile for the common people, humiliation and bounding of people such as Professor Mamlock who is seized in his clinic and driven through Andsthe streets with the word we know exist.” and more recently “Juarez” and “Tude”’ inscribed on his surgeon’s gown. But just as clearly and just as sharply is shown the rising reseni— ment of the German people, the work of brave men and women against fascism, the printing of il- legal papers, the welding togther ef a strong united organization around a program—‘“‘a democratic government for Germany.” All peace-loving democratic man- kind speaks through the lips of Professor Mamilock when he defies the Nazis. “Oh, I understand you now,” he says, “I understand you well. But you cannot take away from anyone the right to labor, to life, to his own mind. You'll be remembered by posterity as a horrible night mare. Hunt down the scientists, persecute them, burn their books . of genius, you’re doomed anyway. I love Germany, the Germany of great scientists, of philosophers, of poets, the Germany of great hu- man discoveries, the Germany of \labor and peace, but not your Ger- many—the barbarous country of torture and tears and blood, the \land of war and executioners . Shoot, shoot with your machine guns, for soon they will be taken jaway from you.” These Chickens Must Have Been Owned By Paul Bunyan COLUMBUS, Ohio—An Ohio farmer swallowed disappoint- ment as best he could this week after the state department of agriculture had refused him a license to manufacture what he called “a mysterious and magical powder” as a stock and LACK OF PRICE CONTROL COSTLY Tack of controlled marketing to keep pace with the technical ad- vances made in agriculture has left the farmer who depends or has specialized in one crop in a pre carious position, declared Dr. Mar- garet Ormsby to the annual meet- ing of the Canadian Agricultural Economics Society in Hotel Van- eouver this week. Production has long passed the stage when it was insufficient for or only equal to local demand, said Dr. Ormsby, who is a former gra- duate of the UBC and now head of the history department in the Sarah Dix Hamlin School in San Francisco. : “J.and in BC is highly produc- tive, as is shown by the yearly re- venue in dairy products of nearly $15,000,000. Output of apples and vegetables in the Okanagan Valley, Kootenays and neighboring dis- tricts was valued at $12,000,000,” she said. Annual value of livestock pro- duction from Williams Lake, Kam- loops, Clinton and Wicola areas is roughly $12,000,000. me poultry feed. The farmer told the department that he gave a sample of the powerful potion to his chickens, whereupon egg production imme diately doubled and trebled. In fact, the din of hens constantly cackling was earsplitting, or so said the farmer. He had to build a special bin and hire a boy to carry the eggs. “One night,” said the farmer, ‘wre heard a big noise and a riot of cackling. The whole roost had broken down from the weight of the chickens, We called the car- penters who built new quarters with steel beams for roosting.” The farmer said the overflow of eggs was stored in the silo. They they hatched and the chicks escaped to scatter all over the | countryside. As they grew, the farmer went on to relate, they laid the entire country to waste. He claimed that not a worm could be found two feet down. Suddenly the flow of eggs stopped and the chickens began dying like flies. The farmer said investigation disclosed fleas on ¢+he hens as big as horse flies. The farmer hastened to add that there was nothing wrong with his magi- eal chickenfeed, but the fleas must have stowed away in it by acci- dent. SINGLE AGENCY SEEN NECESSARY FOR PRODUCER Most Provinces in Canada Now Have Milk Control Board As so-called independent dairymen opened their attacl: on the validity of the Single Agency milk marketing scheme this week, support for the prin- ciple of milk control boards came from B. C. Cooke, chair- man of the Saskatchewan Milk Control Board, in an address before the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturists in con- vention até Vancouver. “An emergency, endangering the economic life of those engaged in the production of milk, lies be- hind the creation of all such boards,” Mr. Cooke declared. “Milk control is in force in every province in Canada except two, acts as a steadying influence and ereates more cooperation between producer and distributor,” the speaker declared. He said that after seven years ef operation in Manitoba, which pioneered in this legislation, and a lesser period in other provinces, milk control boards were still operating under legislative enact- ment “not simply as emergency measures, as they were at the out- set, but as a government activity definitely wanted by those most concerned.” Mr. Cooke briefly reviewed the Situation im several provinces leading up to the operation of milk control boards, and stressed that in most cases the legisla- tion was put through in order to save large numbers of small dairy farmers from going bank- rupt under the competitive pres- sure of the larger dairies backed by capital investment. “The function of milk control boards,’ he said, “is to maintain a steady rein on the industry, having in mind the interests of producers, consumers and daistri- butors.”’ Meantime the big guns of the battery of legal talent lined up by the wealthy producer-distributors in Vancouver to fight the milk marketing legislation opened up before the Court of Appeal this week as Senator J. W. de B. Far- ris, famous corporation lawyer, contended that the Single Agency was invalid. Mr. Farris stated that the plain- tiffs (independent dairymen) con- tended that orders of the Marke: ing Board were ultra vires, because they were not within the purview of the Natural Products Marketing Act. He sought to have the interim injunction against the Clearing HWouse made permanent so as to prevent inauguration or the scheme. FARMERS ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE OTTAWA, Ont—Cooperation of farmers in collecting statistical in- formation of acreages under crop and the number of livestock and poultry on farms is sought by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics in conjunction with provincial de- partments of agriculture. -The Bureau distributes card- board schedules in June of each year to aid agriculturists in this collection. In all provinces, except Prince Edward Island, Nova Sco- tia, Alberta and British Gclumbia, these schedules are distributed to the farmers by the rural school teachers, while in the provinces mentioned the cards are mailed direct. Acreages of field crops, in parti- cular, are the real foundation of the scheme of agricultural produc- tion statistics. Only slightly less important in the national planning is the necessity of having correct knowledge of the numbers of live stock on farms. Accuracy of compilations in both | Courtenay Asks End To $ chool Tay City Hall Highlights This Week WO of the most vociferous spokesmen of the real estate j interests and big business on the City Council were quick to offer objections to Mayor Telford’s pro- posal for higher business taxes in the city as a means of lightening the tax burden on property. “Taking it out of one pocket and putting it in another,’ was the re mark of Ald. J. W. Cornett. Ald. George C. Miller also went to bat for businessmen with the plea that business was taking all it could stand in this direction. Deciared the mayor: “A number | of bigger firms in this city seem to be getting by without payins very much or anywhere near their share, and by imposing higher business licenses on them the tax would be spread out more fairly.” Tf the policy is recommended by Council, however, it is believed likely the scheme will meet with strong opposition before the pri- vate bills committee of the Legis- lature. e ITY COUNCHIL. was urged this _week by the Inland Boatmen’s Union and the Salmon Purse Seiners’ Union to give considera- tion to the scheme for converting the old Hotel Vancouver into a civic center in a letter read to the | Civic Finance Committee. The ,unions’ letters argued that the city was badly in need of a cen- ter for “cultural and recreational activities” and pointed out that the old hotel provided an ideal building for such a project. e T APPEARS now that the final okeh on construction of a recre- ation park on Walse Creek flats has been given. At least, the Civic Finance Committee has tentatively endorsed a scheme to acquire the 45-acre tract of land from Indus- trial Sites Limited, and will take action to withhold the entire tract from the November tax sale pend- ing approval of the scheme by the Legislature next fall. The city will waive collection of taxes agegre- Satine $49,901 against the hold- ings of Industrial Sites Limited in return for title to the park portion. S ITY COUNCIL, sitting in Social Services Committee, has de cided to again appeal to the Pro- vincial Government for an increase in the present shelter allowance to Vancouver relief recipients. Mayor Telford stated that recipients, who receive only $8 a month basie rate for shelter allowance, are given $12 when looking for new quar- ters. “This means getting a house un- der false pretences, somethine= which the recipient is forced to do and which the city is actually en- couraginge under the present set- up.” classesis largely dependent upon obtaining completed cards from 2 fair sample of the total number of Canadian farms, the Bureau points out. Farmers are urged to write the Dominion Bureau of Statistics for eards in order that a correct sur- vey of crops and livestock can be recorded and which will be to the advantage of not only the far- mers but to the entire population throughout Canada. Boycott German Goods Declares Rural Areas Need Immediate Relief From Heavy Burdens S COURTENAY, BC, June 22—Removal of the school tax from the land to ease the already heavy tax load on the far- mers will be advocated by the Courtenay-Comox Board of Trade at the forthcoming conxention of the Vancouver Island Boards ot Trade when they meet in Victoria. P. L. Anderton, who headed a delegation which met the cabinet on May 19 and laid before it the desires of the farmers in the Courtenay-Comox district as raised in a meeting March 6, was : © outlined the pressing need for sucn |attention of the City Counc 7 a change and was subsequently ;by Waterworks Superinte: © delegated to draft the resolution. This was the only resolution from a number submitted by other boards gain such recognition although several others were en- dorsed. to Among those receiving the en- dorsement of the board were two On salmon conservation and two en continuation of forestry pro- jects. Another important resolution te come before the meeting was one which sought a long range refor- estation plan—one that has been advocated by a number of organi- zations ineluding the International Woodworkers of America, Relief Project Workers’ Union and Sal- mon Purse Seiners Union, the lat— ter union desiring such a2 program in order to preserve the natural watersheds for spawning grounds. Another resolution urged con- struction of a road betyween Port Alberni and Cumberland and in- stallation of telephone service over the Malahat. Transfer of fisheries from federal jurisdiction to provin- eial did not find favor with the meeting.
