Canyon Avenue Parade By DON PETERSON The Mill City Lions club has started their annual search for talent for their spring show and again all who would be entertainers are urged to contact any member of the Lions club and secure a date for a tryout. Tryouts are being conducted every Monday evening at 8:15 in the Presbyterian recreation room after their regular dinner meetings. It doesn’t make any difference what you can do, just come out and show what you can do. To make it easier to find members of the Lions club just look up Charles Kelly at the postoffice, George Veteto at the Nu-Method Cleaners, or Bob Veness at the theatre. The profits of the annual talent show will be used to finish the Boy Scout cabin in the city park. It is hoped to raise enough this year to finish this building and have it ready for use of the Scouts as soon as passible. ♦ ♦ ♦ It appears that we must start to shoot back at the Communists after the vicious attacks on our planes and the planes of Britain. The Commu nists will have to be shown that we are prepared and willing with arms and planes enough to fight back—Tru man can be thanked for that bit of preparedness together with the prog ress in home preparedness such as power development and plane building. * « * Consider these strange facts about Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin: Accord ing to Drew Pearson’s column, the Communist party went all-out to sup port McCarthy against LaFollette when he ran for the senate; McCarthy came to the assistance of Earl Browder before a senate committee; McCarthy’s statement that the State department had over 200 Communists on its payroll, when possibly only one or two have ever been proved to be i Communists; McCarthy’s refusal to repeat charges of Communist affilia tion outside of the senate hall with out senatorial immunity; McCarthy's thought - controling investigation of Communism in colleges. What do all these things add up to? Is he trying to be President or Dictator of these United States?
