TALKS

FOR

Hruce
Mickleburgh
Speaker
at
Meeting
of
Junior
Section
of
Chamber
of
Commerce
Last
Night.
A
talk
by
Bruce
Mickleburgh
on
the
Canadian
Youth
Congres
movement,
which
is
being
organized
in
Prince
Rupert,
was
the
feature
of
the
regular
monthly
din
ner
meeting
of
the
Junior
Section
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
last
night
with
President
Alf
Rivett
in
the
chair
over
a
healthy
turn-out
of
members
Mr.
Mickleburgh
discussed
the
general
as
well
as
the
local
aims
of
the
organization.
,
The
Canadian
Youth
Congress,
Mr.
Mickleburgh
said,
was
a
part
i
of
the
Federated
World
Youth
Congress
which
was
in
convention
at
the
present
time
In
Mexico
with
delegates
from
all
free
countries
and
even
some
of
those
who
had
made
their
way
out
of
presently
dictator-controlled
countries.
One
of
the
principal
general
objects
was
to
line
up
In
the
anti-Fascist
struggle.
The
whole
set-uo
of
the
movement
was
democratic
wl'.h
belief
In
the
freedom
of
speech
and
the
value
of
discussion
In
pro
moting
'better
understandings.
The
Canadian
Youth
Cong
'ess
was

concentrating
on
support

of

There
would
never
be
an
"all
out"
war
effort
Just
by
talking
about
it,
but
there
must
be
real
action.
Were
Hitler
victorious
there
would
be
no
meetings
such
as
that
of
&
Junior
Chamber
of
Commerce.
There
would
be
no
organizations
permitted
to
operate
except
the
"
stooge"
organizations
of
the
ruling
cliques.
Mr.
Mickleburgh
told
of
some
of
the
organizations
which
were
represented
in
the
Canadian
Youth
Congress,
these
Including
Industrial
unions,
Y.M.C.A.,
church
young
people's
bodies,
even
some
French-Canadian
associations.
The
movement
was
very

useful.
A
great

it
was
felt,
was

Committees

been
set
up
to

Christmas
hospitality
for
the
active
forces
was
one
matter
that
was
being
taken
up.
Steps
were
being
taken
to
improve
the
morale
of
Canadian
youth.
As
for
stepping
up
production
it
was
felt
that
full
recognition
of
all
trades
unions
would
be
of
great
help.
The
Youth
Congress
was
not
afraid
to
face
problems.
To
bring
about
improvements
there
must
be
courageous
facing
of
facts.
As
for
local
activities,
Mr.
Mickleburgh
said
that
a
local
youth
committee
was
already
functioning
In
Prince
Rupert.
The
forma
tion
of
a
youth
council,
with
rep
resentatlves
from
various
organ
izations,
was
planned.
By
spring
It
was
hoped
to
have
a
Youth
Par
liament
In
spring
when
delegates
from
various
youth
groups
would
meet
to
take
up
various
problems,
At
this
Parliament
It
was
expect
ed
to
set
up
the
youth
council
and
elect
delegates
for
the
Congress
In
Vancouver
at
Easter.
Mr.
Mickleburgh
mentioned
Pro-Rec
and
the
provincial
youth
training
plan
as
tangible
results
of
campaigning
by
Youth
Con
gress.
Then
there
were
other
less
tangible
results
such
as
the
bringing
about
of
better
understanding
one
fellow
for
another,
appreciation
of
democracy
as
a
way
of
life.
There
was
a
dearth
of
youth
leadership
today
and
this
It
,was
hoped
to
develop.
The
Youth
Congress
was
always
willing
to
o-operate
with
any
civic
undertaking
Qt
a
worthy
nature.

while
the
Russiahs
were
report
ed
to
have
broken
through
the
German
lines
in
the
Kalinin
sector,
ninety
miles
northeast
of
Moscow.
A
Reuters
dispatch
said
the
Russian
counter-offensive
in
the
Kalinin
sector
was
continuing
and
the
Red
Army
had
inflicted
a
heavy
blow
on
two
German
infantry
divisions,
capturing
an
important
point.
Junior
Chamber
Will
Not
Decorate
ber
decided
to
Tesclnd
the
decision
and
put
up
no
trees.
The
idea
Is
to
find
out
the
reaction
of
the
merchants
and
the
public,
whether
or
not
they
actually
appreciate
the
trees
or
whether
they
are
regarded
as
some
have
unkindly
suggested
as
being
just
a
"nuisance."
It
was
Bob
Parker
who
suggested
that
the
Junior
Chamber
skip
the
putting
up
of
the
trees
this
year.
There
was
a
lot
of
work
and
time
involved
In
putting
up
the
trees
had
been
more
carefully
oftthe
comments
he
had
heard,.
he
questioned
If
they
were
appreciated.
Lou
Felsenthal
thought
the
trees
made
a
very
desirable
effect
but
he
was
agreeable
to
skipping
them
this
year
Just
to
get
the
reactions.
Gordon
German
thought
that,
If
the
treas
had
been
more
carefully
put
up,
there
might
not
have
been
complaints.
Finally,
It
was
decided
to
have
no
trees
this
Christmas
just
to
as-jcertaln
how
the
people
really
felt
about
It.
