The generous support of the drive to date testifies to the devotion of many thousands who support our paper. Scotes who bought. a certificate at the beginning of the drive are now buying a $350.00 in the drive. His gener- osity springs from the strength of his convictions, for with thousands of other returned men, he realizes that there are victories yet to win in the post war world.

Other examples of sacrifice come from old age pensioners who have sent in dollars that have meant real hardship for weeks ahead. A patient in a T.B. sanitorium sent in three dollars—his official spend- ing allowance for a month. Those of us in better circumstances can do our share accordingly. All clubs and organizations are turning in reports of functions being held in aid of the drive. Commercial Drive is \sponsoring an old time event—a harvest fes- tival. It is being held on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 19th and 20th, at 902, 906 and 910 Commercial Drive. It promises to be a big affair and their report states: “Friday afternoon will feature a picture show for the kiddies, with a sale of garden produce and home cooking, canned fruits, etc. A barn dance that will look like a barn dance will also be part of the program on Friday.” If you like to eat corn, you may eat your fill at the corn roast being held at 5496 Kerr St. (No. 11 car) on Friday, Sept. 19th. If it rains it will be off until the fol- lowing Friday. Burnaby clubs sent in word this week that they are getting their work under way in the drive. Like most of the city clubs they are raising their share of the fund by social functions and appeals to members to buy a certificate as soon as possible.

Raps ban on ‘Daily’ boxes (Gordon Sinclair on CFRB, Sept. 5, 1947) At no time in man’s history has it been proved that a thing Toronto now has a small morning newspaper called the Daily | Toronto also has a.controller named David Balfour who is opposed to everything the Tribune stands for. . Balfour recently tried to ban the sale of the Tribune from news boxes in Toronto. He wanted to ban it no matter what it The mayor and Balfour’s fellow controllers disagreed with this but they did pass a motion which amounted to the same They. ruled that unless a paper had a circulation of 150,000 2 day it could not use it’s street boxes for the sale of that paper- Since the Tribune had no such sale . . trollers knew it had no such sale. . . As a consequence protests have been piling into this studio, into the newspaper offices and into the city hall. Every Toronto daily opposes this ban even though the ban is on a competitor, and not on them. _ Numerous Toronto people would believe the Tribune just as quickly and just as thoroughly as they would believe Controller Numerous other people who would prefer the Financial Post with its capitalistic slant are equally opposed to a restriction on the Tribune merely because it has a labor slant. The protests are becoming louder. ; - and since the con- the effect was to ban the een ape B.C.
