V-E DAY QUIET FOR LOCAL MAN IN GERMANY Danger of fanatical Nazis resisting the surrender order on V-E day kept men of the Lincoln and Welland regiment .on the alert on that historic day, writes Corporal Cecil Hemmons to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. Hemmons of Prince Rupert, but the day passed without any flare-ups between the beaten Germans and Canadian troops. The only celebration In his platoon, Cpl. Hemmons said was a victory toast made with half a cup of champagne per man which came from two bottles saved for the occasion. They toasted their ' comrades who were no longer among them. Cpl. Hemmons, who was acting sergeant during the final actions before the defeat of Germany, said that the general reaction among the soldiers was ' Thank God It's Over". Shortly after the fighting ceased, Cpl. Hemmons was ta ken to hojipital suffering from tonsllltis. The hospital was on the estate of the Count of Old-enberg, luxuriant with flowering .gardens and duck ponds. 'Signs of luxury are everywhere," he wrote of the hospital where he spent two days. Advertise in The Daily News. ABOUT A MAN YOU ALL KNOW Dear Friends: I have known Bruce Mickleburgh ever since he lirstcame to Prince Rupert four years ago as a young acher at King Edward School-not even old enougn io vote at that time. Bruce is a product of tne Depression years but has fought from childhood against :hase conditions. Through the harsh years of poverty 'which I knew so well under John Brackens government In Winnipeg), he eked out an existence working in bowling alleys and similar work, collecting an arm-ful of scholarships which saw him through college. For two years he led the Student Christian Movement in Victoria College, and played a leading role in defeating fifth column activities among . Japanese and Canadian fascists which had as its objective the involvement of students in an Isolationist position. He organized the Canadian Student Assembly on the Victoria original member of tne campus, and was an Victoria Youth Council. Bruce has been "through the mill' and 1 has i a, L history that begins in the era of freight and pogey toes. lie joined the Relief Project Workers' Un on and there gained his first grounding in trade union Principles. Every teacher In Prince Rupert and hundreds it throughout the province know his struggle to better conditions and wages In the schools. While an executive member of the B.C. Teachers' Federation he Played a leading role in affiliating that body to the Trades and Labor Congress. As an executive member of the Rural Teachers Association, he fought with this body for improved rural teachers' salaries that exist today. I remember the day back in 1941 Bruce joined ,t the Party of the working class here in Prince Rupert. He was struggling to organize a progressive youtn niovement here then, a movement which threw all ts forces into the critically-needed A.R.P. ,when Pearl Harbor came. Since then there has scarcely been a s'ngle organized effort to better the . lives of the People of Prince Rupert with which Bruce has not "" associated in some way or ouier. His earnest effort and-sincere struggle was rec-ORnlzed by our Party when he was elected by a large vote at the provincial constituent convention to be one f B.C.'a ten delegates to the Toronto convention hei the Labor-Progressive Party was formed and he- is now a tried and tested member of our Provincial Committee. I have sat in discussions with him through week alter week and year after year where he has been raising and carrying proposals to unite labor for the c'vlc elections, to win the CCF to a position of labor UnltV. in ,J tVio Alrt.tn.'R.llCKt'l mnvpmpnt. to better housing conditions, to rally Prince -Rupert workers m the fight for labor laws with teeth In them, to MAJOR HARVEY IS HEARD AT OCEAN FALLS OCEAN FALLS, June 9 Progressive Conservatives at Ocean Falls held three meetings during the visit of Major J. T. Harvey there this week. On Monday Afternoon there was a large gathering of the women of the Progressive Conservative Association and their friends. Mrs. Tillie Rolstan M.L-A gave a vivacious address in which she stressed the need for women to take a live interest in government because government was going to affect them more and more from rationing to the providing of a country in which they would be proud to have their children grow up and take their places. Women should wake up and see that they choose a government that will perpetuate their ideals of sincerity and honesty. Mrs. Rolsion referred to the candidate Major Harvey. She said that, like a considerable number of the Progressive Conservative candidates, ' Major Harvey was a young man recently returned from overseas. He was thoroughly sincere In his desire to serve his country. Also he had been, a resident of this coast for 15 years and, through his varied law practice, has travelled over the large constituency and was familiar with its problems and Its Industries, whether lumbering, mining, farming or fishing. As well, he was a clear thinker and an able speaker who would waken Ottawa to the existence of this part of Canada and present clearly and forcibly the great possibilities and very urgent needs of this coast and district. Evening Meeting Well Attended Monday evening Mrs. Holston and Major Harvey addressed a well-attended meeting. The chairman, A. Harvey, be fore addressing the speakers, announced the results of the Ontario election which was such a landslide for-the progressive Conservative party. Major Harvey said in his address that, the Ontario results, fought on federal issues, showed very clearly what Canadians think of the Liberal policies, as well as what they think of the C.C.F. and Its provincial leader, Mr. Jolliffe, whose recent pollr f five-cent cigar, the soap box and the brass spittoon. Major Harvey continued that it was evident from the recent results that the men from over seas were going to get the new deal which thej deserved. When Mackenzie King had left them to fight and fight again arid suffer heavier casualties Jor lack of enough reinforcements;, when Mackenzie King had neglected them at this moment of urgent need he could not be trusted to give them a square deal when they return from overseas. 'T When discussing the labor policy put forth by John Bracken and the Progressive Conservative party, Major Harvey em phasized the fact that no trade unions, no matter whether affiliated with the American Fed eration of Labor or the Congress of Industrial Organizations, supported socialism. They do not support that advocated by the C.C.F. cr any other socialistic party. Under socialism the trade unions would lose all their power in a government controlled sys tem. Their gains of past years would be lost and,- through In ability 'to strike, they would lose the weapon by which they could make further progress in the future.

Alaska, to ground the workers n the theory and tactics of the working class and a hundred other questions. And as I write these words I know that with every sentence -in this paragraph there are scores of people in town who will remember Bruce s work in .each of these fields. As was to be expected Bruce has earned the enmity of small men, partisan politicians and narrow, self-seeking Interests who iear the peerless leadership of this young teacher. His name has been the butt of slander and there has been a campaign to "freeze him out" of organizations and positions of influence. The energy devoted to this campaign Is a tribute to the man against whom it has been directed. But the vast majority of Prince Rupert people-friends and foes alike recognize Bruce's brilliance and incorruptibility and know that he has a big future hi the leadership of the people. Heaven knows we need leaders of this type to beat the looming Tory threat Into the ground 1 Sometimes in the movement we are staggered oy Bruce's amazing energy the way he can keep going nl"ht after night, month after month, year after year with unflagging enthusiasm and cheerlness that Inspires us all. He never loses his head and keeps on smiling because he knows that history Ls on the side of the workers. That is why I and the members of our party have been out night and day knocking on your doors to tell you to vote for Bruce. That is why hundreds of people who do not even belong to our Party have joined In the campaign to elect this man loggers, fishermen, cannerymen, pulp and paper workers, rallwaymen, shipyard workers, construction workers, miners, farmers, business and professional, people. No matter what party they may have, belonged to they recognize that Bruce's fighting qualities will assure 'jiem a big powerful yolce In the next House at Ot-wa. With all due respect to the other candidates, t feel you will agree with me when I say that Bruce stands out from among them as the clear choice of the people of Skeena. , I will go so far as to say that not only we In Skeena but Canada as a whole need young men of this type In our post-war House of Commons.

In this leaflet the CCF appeals for support to stave off "a communist dictatorship on the Canadian people." Surely when a war has been fought to wipe out Hitler, world's champion red-baiter, and the danger of this red-baltlng technique in the hands of reactionaries the world over exposed, Prince Rupert people will .repudiate this unwholesome Injection into the dying hours of the campaign.
