Tribute to
Don Barbour

Harold Pritchett, Burnaby,
B.C, writes: Many old-time log-
Sers, shingle weavers and saw-
Mill workers will join with me
in mourning the passing of Don
Barbour, one of the most devoted
of workers who, through his con-
Sistent efforts, made possible the
Creation of the IWA,

For many years Don wrote a
Column in the B.C, Lumber Work-

Cook,” But he was better known

Rudolph Hess
Alec C, Beasley, Winfield, B.C.

writes: Rudolph Hess, Hitler’s

second in command, who took no
part in the war has been in prison
since its beginning.

We know little of the story of
Rudolph Hess. TV cameras, un-
like as at Dallas, were not
around, The press, meagre atthe
time, has been guarded since.
We know he was on a peace mis-
sion when he flew to Scotland and
was taken prisoner. It can be said,
therefore, he risked his life and
liberty for peace. So a martyr
of unknown degree of commend-
ability,

In classical historical fiction,
a case like this the man would
have been taken to the tent of
his equal in rank, If the outcome
was unfavorable the “noble
knights” would have parted say-
ing, “We meet again in battle!”
And Hess would have been given
safe conduct across the border,

The feeling today is Hess re-
mains in joint allied custody only
because Russia will not release
him, And that Russia’s attitude
is a calculation of the cold war
and has nothing to do with the in-
dividual, :

Always, this keeping of poli-
tical prisoners has been one of
the cruelist things in history.

(I have underwritten my pas-
sion and questions inthis strange
case).

Birchard ill

Birchard, now resident in White
Rock, will be sorry to hear that
he had to be admitted to Shaugh-
nessy Hospital this week because

of the worsening ofa long illness,
The PT wishes Ivan a speedy

recovery.

‘No favors
for Cemp’

“The Eaton’s Cemp people
aren’t doing us any favors and
we don’t owe them any,” said
Alderman Harry Rankin this
week, Hitting out at the “objec-
tional” “giveaway” features of
the old agreement, Rankin said
the agreement should now be
renegotiated,

He said if Eatons wants to
build a new store on Block 52
well and good, but they should
get on with the’ job and provide
their own parking facilities, He
added the city should not expro-:
priate Block 42 but let the mer-

chants who now own it develop it.

Rankin said if City Council

- overrides his objections and still’

goes ahead with plans to expro-
priate Block 42 for the Eaton’s
Cemp interests, the promoters
should be compelled to pay the full
cost of the land and improve-

ments involved, plus the cost _

involved in expropriating it.

“ humanity, the news of the

43rd Anniversary

Forty-three years ago, on
January 22, 1924, the archi-
tect and founder of the first
Socialist State, the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics,
died, On that day, for the
first time in the history of

death of Lenin went to the
hearts of millions in every
country, and among all
peoples,

Nowhere in the vast Soviet
‘ Union, or the countries of the
world beyond its borders were
there not people of all races
who said on that January 22nd,
“My leaders is dead.”

‘ And yet, as a poet of that
‘ era wrote of Lenin:

Yesterday, today, tomor-
; TOW,

So we see

Your truth triumphant;
willed to be Raft unsinkable
on raging sea.
