PRAISE FOR PT

M.G. North Bend, Oregon,
writes: I have just finished
reading the Nov. 1st edition of
your paper. On page 11 there is a
Photo of the young people of your
country marching in protest of
the U.S. war in Vietnam. Also,
on the same page is a plea for
subs to your very excellent
paper.

If you can see your way to do
So, I would like to have you print
this letter in a future issue. I
wish to go on record as
Supporting the march for peace
and adding my plea for support
for the Pacific Tribune.

I am not a young man anymore
— reached 60 my last birthday.
But I would like to recall to you
Canadian brothers a little
current and past history of our
two countries.

In the past — the end of the
‘underground railroad’, the
FREE end, was in Canada. Even
the northern states, which
supposedly opposed chattel
slavery, would return escaped
Slaves to their ‘‘masters’’ south
of that Mason-Dixon line. They
are still as hypocritical today as
they were prior to our Civil War!

In the present — the young
generation of men who have a
little conscience and knowledge
and are opposed to this vicious
action in Vietnam can seek
asylum and help in Canada! I
add my thanks to the many you
receive for this humane action.

As a worker in these United
States, I would like to warn you
Canadian Brothers that what is
happening here, now, is what
happened in Hitler Germany
about thirty years ago! The myth
of white supremacy as preached
here is the same as Hitler’s
“aryan’” theory. True, we don’t
have any gas ovens as yet — but
the noose has been in use for

many years and it is only a step
further to the ovens!

I realize that some of your
administrators of government
are no better than ours. The
difference, to date, seems to be
the matureness of your people.
Visiting your country is like
getting a breath of fresh air,
politically. Keep it that way,
please! You will be doing the
people in this country a favor, as
well as yourselves.

The proof of my statements?
Look at the “‘statesmen’’ offered
as __ presidential candidates!
Brothers, kick in a few bucks for
your very excellent paper. Keep
your country free! I might have
to take a run up there myself if
things keep going the way they
are — and I’d like to have the
gate open.

OBITUARY

Hopkins E. Mills

A veteran pioneer of farm
organizations and what is now
known as the Canada Wheat
Pool, Hopkins E. Mills, passed
away on October 31 in St.
Vincent’s Hospital in Vancouver
following a long illness.

Born in Kenfig Hill, Glamor-
ganshire, S. Wales, July 1st, 1884,
Mills came to Canada at the age
of 19. He pioneered, home-
steaded, and farmed at
Colonsay, Sask. for forty years,
where he served as a first
municipal councillor for
Township 35. Prior to the 1930’s,
he played an active role in the
formation of the Sask. Wheat
Pool, the United Farmers of
Canada, being an executive
member, director, and organizer
for two terms; and later, he gave
his time to the Farmer’s Unity
League, to pursue a more
positive expression of the
farmer’s needs of that day.

Also, during the depression,
Mills devoted considerable time
and energy toward alleviating
the desperate needs of the unem-
ployed throughout British
Columbia.

His interests turned to elder
citizens after his retirement,
and he joined the Federated
Legislative Council of Elder
Citizens Association of B.C.
During terms as first vice-
president and president, he
conducted a drive for medicare
and fought for greater hospitali-
zation of chronic patients. He
also served as president of the
Old Age Pensioners of B.C.

He is survived by his wife,
Maisie, a step-daughter, Mrs.
L.J. | (Irene) McDonald, a
daughter, Mrs. F.J. (Dilys)
Renaerts, and a son, Ivor Mills,
all of Vancouver, and a
daughter, Mrs. K. ‘ (Gladys)
Tweed, of Regina. His only
remaining brother, Hosea Mills,
resides at Half Moon Bay.

you to renew your sub NOW.

AN APPEAL TO
OUR READERS

The annual circulation drive for 1100 subs was to have
concluded November 15, but we are still short more than 600
subs. As a result, we have found it necessary to prolong the drive

If, the additional time is put to good use (which means
utilizing every day, beginning NOW), there’s an excellent chance
our drive objective and budgetary requirements will be met.

If, on the other hand, we do not tackle this job immediately,
the future of our paper will be jeopardized.

At the moment there are hundreds of readers whose sub
has expired. If you fall into this category and have not yet
renewed, you are putting great strain on our paper and we urge

To continue with our job we depend upon the renewal of
every single outstanding expiry. In addition we need 150 new
readers. There are only two weeks left to do it. WILL YOU LEND A
