OCN'T GET CAUGHT Condemnation of Violent Acts Condemnation of acts of violence by the Sons of Free- dom, a amall radical group of the Doukhobor sect, was voiced at the 12th sitting of the Joint Doukhobor Research Sympos- ium, held last Sunday at the Castlegar Community Hall, A capacity audience, most- ly from the local area and Grand Forks, packed the newly-enlarged community hall to research the history of the Doukhobors in their attempt at communal living in a foreign and completely strange en- vironment, following their move from Russia to Canada. The 1914 burning by the Sons of Freedom of the then newlyconstructed community hall in the village of Otradnoe, Sask. was discussed as the first major demonstration of de- struction by fire by this radical sect, Members of the audience condemned such acts as need- less and ethically wrong. Nicholas Novokshonoff, in ° @ prepared statement to the question of what could be done to prevent outbreaks of fa- natical terrorism, stated that he did not have any clear-cut formula, but was emphatic in his assertions that conventional methods of force would not - bring positive results, Schools and education was another topic discussed at the .Symposium, with the younger People wondering about the reason why few children at- tended schools in the earlier days of Doukhobor settlement in Canada. It was brought out that the reason for this stemmed from the fact that although the Doukhobor people and their leader Peter the Lordly Verigin were not opposed to education, as traditional pacifists, they strongly objected to any in- fluence of patriotism or na- tionalism, which might lead to militarism, to be inculcated into the minds of their children along with the grammar. Another reason for keep- ing the children home from schoo! was that their help was needed in the work program of the community, One of the interesting facets of the research which is developing is the comparison of - those who abandoned com- munal life and accepted school- ing, and the community group whose policy continued to be based on inherited traditional Unea where education, even in the Russian setting, was never considered important beyond the primary level, The meeting was jointly chaired by Cyril Ozeroff and. William Oglow with six main speakers answering questions’ from the floor, The next meeting is sched- uled for March 14 in Grand - Forks, Topies will include the choice of the name “Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood"—its ideals and goals; as well as the choice of the province of British Colum- bia as the community's home, ‘These Retirements are Alarming ‘OLY Ole Moly, I must be getting on! Just walked in the door, picked up the mail, there was an invitation to a retirement party for Pete Hvidsten, publisher of the Port Perry weekly newspaper. Say it isn't so, Pete! Per (Pete) Hvidsten is a {lend of more than a quarter of a century, but it seems only yesterday that he and I were the life of the party, waltzing the girls off their feet, watching the dawn come up as we sat in the bow of one of the old passenger steamers sailing up the St. Lawrence, while everybody else, including the very young, had gone to bed. This retirement gig is a trend that deeply alarms me. All old buddies are putting themselves out to pasture. They don't seem to Spare a thought for me, I have to teach until I am eleventy-seven to get a Pension. About a year ago, three old and close weekly news- paper friends phoned me from a convention in Tor- onto: Don McCusig of Renfrew, Gene Macdonald of Alexandria, and Pete Hvidsten, It was about midnight and they weren't even flying yet.

How dare you “retire”, when havetogoon working? Well, maybe I know, at that. You've quit because you've worked like a dog for 30-odd years in one of the toughest vocations in the world — weekly editor.

We were in it. together + when you worked. 60-70 . hours a week, when you had a big mortgage to pay off, when staff was tough to get and hard to keep, when the old press was always break- ing down and you couldn't afford a new one, when you had to sweat over a four-dollar ad, when you were lucky to take home $60 or $80 a week, But it had its rewards, right? There was that sheer physical satisfaction of see- ing the first copy run off and folded, smelling of ink, practically hot in your hands, like a fresh-baked loaf. There was another type of reward — knowing you had stuck to your principles, and written a strong and unpop- ular editorial, letting the > chips fall where they might. here was the deep Pleasure of seeing, after months of writing and urging, the reluctant town fathers adopt a policy that was right and good, Some people would prefer to be remembered by a Plaque or a statue.

The spores were in goat and camel hair imported from Pakistan and used in the wool. ‘This weaver's yarn is im- ported by the Tahki Company and is sold by mail order out of the “Creative Hand Weavers”, California, The “Purple Pocket Store" in Spokane may also have sold some of this yarn.

Spokane County health depart- ments, He has been informed that there is no cause for alarm, as it is highly unlikely that” anyone handling this yarn will become infected with Anthrax. Infection is very remote. However, anyone who feels that they have in their possession, yarn bought from Creative Hand Weavers’ Cali- fornia mail order house, or the Purple Pocket Store in Spo” kane, may bring it to their local health unit office, preferably in a double plastic bag. ‘The public health inspector, will be glad to dispose of it as a service. If they cannot do this, they can safely burn it outside, but it is not recommended that it be burned indoors, It is again stressed that ~ this is just a precautionary measure as infection from hand- ling the yarn is highly unlikely. ‘Adaptability Makes Housefly A Wanderer Aside from man, the house- fly’ appears to be the most far-ranging specie, being found amost everywhere in- cluding hunting-camps, except. the polar regions, N This insect was originally confined. to tropical latitudes, and experiments have demon- strated that its still D-O-L-L-A-R-S.
