He has just scored an his- terie triumph—the kind you read about in books is 8 but hardly ever see in real life, Mr Keatley Nas exposed tlie gross cruelty to horses on ship ments between Ireland and the continent; and also in method of killing, in order to whiten horse-leg flesh so it may be passed off as “veal.” This series has had per cussions in the House of €om mons itself where all parties even Mr. Churchill, have :ndi cated that steps will be taken to end the cruelties to “man’s best friend.” + * + PAT TOLD me an amusing little episode in his own life, with a little joke on me. In 1935 he was a pupil at swank Upper Canada College, Toronto. Dur- ing the election of 1935 the headmaster invited the three candidates for the riding in which the college was located to speak to the assembled #tu- dents. Hon. Earl Lawson, a min- ister in the Bennett government was running’ for the Tories. I was the Liberal candidate. The CCF and Gommunists were also in the field. After hearing us all Pat de- cided he was for the CCF. When they took a “straw vote” the Tories naturaly enough won an majority, among those rich men’s sons, But Pat and two or three-other western- ers held out for the CCF. ‘Their rooms were virtually under siege for several days—all of course in goed clean fun. - ) & MR. KEATLEY won newspaper award some in big Canada for his scoop in connection with | the surrender of the two Korean boy stowaways Actually Pat could have writ- jten a much more sensational! story than he did write—but for obvious reason felt unable to do so. It happened this way. Some of us -around Vancouver had got to know two Spanish boy de serters from the navy of Franco Spain. The government took steps to ship these boys back co Spain and we had quite a job stirring up enough public sym- pathy to induce the government not to do so This was the boys weré ‘almost literally snatched off the boat which was to take them back to Spain where they might have been nip and tuck—and | Shot, and certainly would have been imprisoned They finally had their way paid to Latin America where they got a fresh start in a. free life * + ¢ BUT IN the case of the Spanish boys some of us also got to know two Korean refugees Pong and Yong. They had or iginally fled from North ore. to South Korea—where condi- tions were bad, and where ail refugees from North Korea were suspects, because of their | accents. r They had stowed away an ship—reached Canada—but now were to be shipped back. The story which Pat could have written, but did not, was about how Pong and Yong es- caped from the Immigration Building at Vaneouver within a few hours of the time they were due to be taken back to Korea. The true story is better than anything out of Kipling’s Kim or a George A. Henty ad- venture book. + + + THE KOREANS hid out suecess- fully up the Fraser valley— ut some of us knew where ihey were. When the Korean war broke out the RCMP came around to the key people and warned of dire consequences un- ‘less the Koreans gave them- selves up. They did—but it all ,ended happily. Had they gone back, their | | hives would not have been worth | a nickle. As it turned out, they | are a credit to Canada, happy and well. both POPULAR GAME BIRD SHELBURNE, NS.
