Warns Danger 0i Communists tlsing Churches

(By Marilyn Lsmborn, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

HALIFAX. May 30 - fCPl-A warning that Communists were ready to use Canadian churches to promote their work was sounded here last night by Mrs, Ryland H. New of Oakvllie, Ont., national president of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire. r

‘At the opening ceremonies of the 48th annual meeting of the na- tional I.O.D.E.. Mrs. New said she stood by a statement made at the Ontario annual meeting last month that "Communists were only too ready to make use of our Chris- tian churches to promote their own ends and were ready and willing

~ to use our organized youth groups

for their insidious propaganda." An official welcome was extend- ed to the 300-500 delegates from all across Canada by Nova Scotla Premier Macdonald, Mayor J. E. Ahern of Halifax and Mrs Thomas Moon, regent of the Halifax muni- clpal I.O.D.E. chapter. Mrs. Cecil L. Brown of Hamilton. president of the provincial Ontario chapter. rc- plied to the welcome. Nova Scotlws Ideutenant-Covermr J. A. D. Mc- Curdy and Mrs. McCurdy were also present. - "It will not do only to close ou: eyes and pray.‘ said Mrs. New. "We must couple with lt a wldee awake determination to combat an evil that knows no Cod and scoffs st prayer." » She said that through a slight misinterpretation oi her remarks made at the Ontario meeting, some clergy evinced surprise that she should suggest Communists would use their churches to spread pro- paganda. , "Though we all pray that these things may not-happen I would llke- to point out that shortly be- fore the war. a large youth organ- isation representing all denomin- ations, youth groups and young people's societies. was dissolved suddenly because it was ound that almost complete lnflltr tien had taken place and a well organized group was ready to operate." Communism backed groups who agitated for price reductions and circulated petitions for signatures, she said. Communists also kept up a continuous program of "smear- ing" reputable citizens and finally supplanted them by party mem- bers. Mrs. New appealed to all Can- adians to welcome immigrants and see that they were imbuetL with the possibilities of their new home- land. If Canadians wished them to be happy, contented citizens they must ‘exert aorne effort w see that they learn our} language. 00C our laws and respect the freedom that we sometimes hold too cheap-

Referring directly to the work of the order, Mrs. N said the l. O. D. E. needed more "rilht-thlnilhe" women in the orll action. She was sure there e countless Canadian women who would join chapters if the opportunity was

11"“. . ..

She urged women not to . sit back or drop out at this stage of the orders work. but to. coratlnua their work just as enthusiastically gg they did during the Second World War because "there still is much u» be done."

Find Foods

More Plentiful Now

.__.._

(By The. Canadian Press)

The age-old pwblem ofpbrlng- ing up fat-her has cased off slightly for chirp-worn ° Can- adian housewives. The daily visit tc the grocer is a much more pleasant chore than for years. with foods in general in plentiful evenly-

even given up that collection of cutd little dodges she used to cm- ploy during the war to obtain scarce items.

The only problem to most shop- pers is price. Prices have contin- ued their upward rise and the dollar-wise housewife has fallen back on the cheaper brands. As a result. many stores report a drop in demand for luxury items-

Slight price reductl-ne are ex- pccted in many centres when the full effect of removal of the eight-per-cent sales tax on many staples is felt, but whether dad's dlmior table looks tempting will continue to depend on how much he can afford to pay.

One general exception to the overall abundance of foods is fresh vegetables. Grocers attrib- ute their scarcity to import re- strictlons.

In the Maritknes, Charlottetown and Saint Johrfreport no short- ago of any staples, but in Halifax few fresh vegetables are to be seen. However. housewives there are finding it. easier to get can- nod milk and butter. which ere gradually becoming more plenti- ful. Prices in Charlottetown are about 20 per cent highes- than iaat. year.

Quebec City buyers find the prices of fresh fruits and veget- ables from so to 200 per cent higher than last year, and retail- erg predict "phenomenal" prices by gutumn. Tomatoes are selling at a1 to $1.5 a pound.

Sher-brooks housewives face much the semo situation with the rise in moat prices causing the most concern.

Scarce items in Montrbal in- clude tomatoes, celery, and citrus fruits, but butter now is plentiful and prices have fallen somewhat.

In Toronto. where the picture appears. tyrplcai - vegetable oils. fresh vegetables, canned fruits, salmon and corn are scarce. Slight improvement in the eup- ply of oils, milk, rice, salmon, and corn syrup la reportod.

Ottawa civil servants still find it hard to get their favorite sandwiches, with the price of to- matoea and cucumbers prohibitive to restaurants.

Canned milk and import fruits and vegetables are missing from Winnipeg grocers‘ shelves, al- though there has been general improvement in the supply oi foods,

The perennial prairie problem -the shortage of fresh fruits and vegetables _ ia accentuated this year with the restrictions on their import.

In Edmonton, shortages are re- ported in asparagus, corn, toma- toes, fruits, and shortening.

Vancouver reports shortages of celery, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, and potatoes. Butdnar is still scarce. '
