Make your voice heard for peace

What are you doing to make your voice heard for peace?

Theze’s no doubt what those who see profit in another war
are doing to make their voices heard.

“I would almost favor an atomic war if an po ee of
food and population could be established, and only the best
specimens of humans would survive; but atomic war would be
likely to increase hereditary weaknesses,” Dr. William Newton
of the Dominion Laboratory at Saanich, B.C., told a science
conference at UBC last week.

And remember Dr. L. G. Cook, head of the chemistry branch
at Chalk River, who recently held out the prospect of an atomic
war in which “your children almost certainly will be involved.”

If war should come Canadian mothers and children will be
the victims. But war need not come. It will not come if ,you
make your voice heard for peace.

Begin now by turning to the back page and signing the
Ban the Bomb petition you'll find there.

The Dean’s meeting here is being held under the auspices of
Vancouver Peace Assembly. Tickets at. 50 cents are available at
Modern Music Ltd., 536 Seymour Street.

From Vancouver the Dean of Canterbury will fly to Toronto
to speak to a gigantic peace rally in Maple Leaf Gardens, May 7
(the same weekend as the Second National Peace Congress in Toron-
to). Appearing at the Gardens with the Dean will be Father Clar-
ence Duffy from the United States and Canadian Peace Congress
chairman, Dr. James G. Endicott.

The Dean of Canterbury is flying to nes trom Sydney,
Australia, where he attended an Australian Peace Congress conven-
tion on April 16. While in Australia the Dean stayed with the
Primate of Australia, Archbishop Mowll of Sydney, and preached
a guest sermon in St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Sydney, on the subject
of the restoration of oo s bombed Cathedral.

On the day following the final
