The net pro- ceeds, $22.70, were donated to the Pacific Tribune drive. We would also like to give special thanks to S. Kennedy and D. McIntosh for their assistance. We plan to hold another rummage sale in the fall and ask friends to keep this in mind. hich destroyed three CPR boxcars at the foot’ of ol and gasoline tanks, was apparently classed as “‘not The $6,000 blaze, which attracted could have turned into a raging holocaust had the flames reached the British Ame- rican Oil Company tanks, bare- ly 100 feet away. ies suppress the news? Was it because CPR property was involved? Did the railroad consider the publicity would be undesirable? (Only a few weeks ago a CPR engine exploded in a roundhouse at Brookmere, but not a line apeared in the daily press). The Vancouver Sun can hardly plead absence of news coverage due to shortage of space. The issue of the Sun had a front page item telling of “slight damage” caused by a small house fire on Seymour Street. In another sec- tion of the paper conSiderable space was given to a report on a fire which razed a chicken brooder-house and pig-pen.

Hastings ; Why did the big afternoon dail-: GUIDE TO GOOD READING Pages from Spain THE SPANISH WAR against fascism lives again in the thrill- ' ing battle front stories, military reports and poems of the members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and their supporters. These stories, commentaries and verses, written during the heat of the struggle, are presented today in the bound vol- ume of the Lincoln’s own paper, The Volunteer for Liberty, pub- lished for $5 by the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, 23 West 26th Street, New York. All 63 issues of the “Volunteer” from’ May 1937 to November 1938 are there, as they were originally put out by Ralph Bates, Edwin Rolfe and John Tiss, who edited the paper in turn. Nothing is added nothing taken away— not even the names of the tiny per- centage of the 1,200 survivors who have since deserted to the enemy. Every word written by a soldier by candlelight that appeared in the magazine, every drawing done in the trenches that was used, is vividly reproduced as it was by an effective photo offset process. ' Some fine pieces were given the “Volunteer” by Dorothy Parker, Leland Stowe, Alexei Tolstoi, the , famous Soviet novelist; Langston Hughes and other writers who came to Spain. Hughes’ rare poem — on the death of a Moor first ap- peared in this paper, and the chanting lines of Hughes, Roar China were memorized by Yanks from the “Volunteer” pages. ‘Eye witness narratives of bat-_ tles against the Falangists, the Germans, the Moors and the Ital- ians; military analyses and ac- counts of the revolutionary agral- .— ian reforms that liberated al- most 6,000,000 acres of Spanish land from the feudal grandees,- found between the big, red cov- ers of this astonishing book en- compasses the whole military — theater of Spain. The 532 pages of this battle front paper add up to the most readable, and, I believe, to thé most. informative history of the — Spanish war yet published i — ' America.—ART SHIELDS.
