Solve this riddle: One minute before midnight on,December 239, 1950, IT was a year older than my wife. One minute after midnight we were both the same age.

To “stand on guard for Canada” by fighting for a just cause, the preventing of a third world war. The peace camp is strong because it has the support of the majority of mankind; the war camp is growing weaker— and more desperate—because its cause is unjust. A third world war will become impossible, providing the peace forces of the world succeed in breaking down the wall of lies which hide from the common people of the capitalist | countries the realities of this mid-century world. Progressive papers such as the Pacific Tribune have 2 terrific responsibility in helping to bring the truth to the people of our province. The battle to reach our financial goal of $17,500, urgently needed to continue publication for the coming year, and the fight to increase circulation month by month, in order to bring our message to ever-widening ‘circles of readers,’ is a vital part of the fight to halt the drive to war. The Pacific Tribune is a peace paper. It is the only paper in British Columbia which honestly reflects the desires - of the citizens for peace, and exposes the warmongering lies of the capitalist daily press. It is the only paper which ac- curately teports activities of the organized peace movement in _ our province. During March and April we urge all our readers and supporters to donate to and raise money for the Pacific Tribune, the peace paper which fights to organize and activize the « |], - people 1 “MAY DAY! | se united efforts can prevent a third world war. eo sa ; PACIFIC TRIBUNE — MARCH 9, 1951 — P4
