A Special Appeal

Dear Members and Friends:'
We are issuing this special.caU
for, a general :membership meeting
of ali active members, ali faonpur
members. members of the Liitto'
and ali supporters of Yritys A., C.
for Thursday January 24, at 8.00 p.
m. in the"Don Hall. - • ^
Yritys A. C. has a proud record of
achievement in the field of general
sports and physical culture amongst
the Finnish C^adians.^ Recently
however, we see signs of a serious
falling off in club activities and we
feel it is now time to correct this
situation.
What do we aim to accomplish at
this meeting? Firstly; to plän a
build-up campaign for oiu* participa»
tion in the forthcoming Liitto juhlat
and secondly; to improve our. gene­ral
club activity.
Thesucess of the next-sports fes­tival
depends on us. To guarantee a
successful meet this summer it is
imperative, that we tackle this prob-lem
seriously in our club so that we
may challenge other Liitto dubs for
the top honours and once again be-come
the leading club in the Liitto,
a position we formerly held för so
many.years. * •
Let us then-young and Old-march
fonvard boldly and proudly under
the banner of Yritys.

Haloo tytöt ja pojat!
Tästä juuri alkaneesta uudesta
vuodesta taitaa tulla menestykselli­nen
ainakin mikäli tämä meidän
osastomme'on kysymyksessä, sillä
viikon kuluessa oli Sedälle saapunut
kuusi kirjettä. Kiitos niistä Marga
ret, Edwin; Shirley. • Eileen; ^ Mary
Ai^ne ja Iris. Kun. samaa .yaubtia
vaan jatkuisi koko > vuoden, niin
meillä olisi paljon' kiinnostovaa lu­kemista.
Setä on oikein mielissään
siitä kun useimmat kirjeenvaihta­jat,
ovat luvanneet .säännöllisesti
kiijoittaa. - -
Täällä Sudburyssa on' uusi vuosi
alkanut erittäin kylmänä. Melkein
joka yö ^Impömittari on laskenut
nollan alapuolelle ja vieläpä 32 as­teeseen
eräänä yönä. Sillom Setä ei
uskaltanut lähteä ulos vaan oleili
sisällä, missä lämpö tuntui erittäin
mukavalta.
- Mutta kun nyt aikanune hiihdäm­me
ja luistelemme niin kevät tulee
liiankin nopeasti, sillä eihän kesäl­lä
v<n sellaista harrastaa ja talvi­urheiluvälineet
on pantava korjuun.
Mutta onhan kesälläkin paljon ur-heilumahdollisuttksia.
Margaret'kertoo tulevansa tänne
Sudburyyn ensi kesänä vierailumat-kalie.
Se olisi varmaan hänelle
hauska matka ja Setäkin tykkäisi
Margaretin . tavata. Toivottavasti
Setä ei ole isilloin k^älomallaan kun
llargaret käy. >
' Sudbmryn ympäristön kirjeenvaih­tajat
useui käyvät Setää tervehti­mässä
ja vaikka Sedällä on usein ko­va
kiire, niin on hauska muutaman
minuutin jutustella. • > .
Setä isai juuri äsken kuulla, että
lasten suomen kielen koulu Finnish-l^
aalilla Sudburyssa pidetään tästä
lähtien maanantaisin eikä keskiviik­koihin
niinkuin aikaisemmin on ollut
tapana, ' Samat ohjaajat huolehtivat
opettamisesta ja kaikki lapset ovat
tervetolleita. SieUä onkin ollut
melko suuri määrä lapsia, mutta
haa*iH?»t»?« on paljon tilaa. "Siis
möistakaa sudbnrylaiset tulla Fin-liisb
haalille maanantaisin kello 6 il­lalla.

Better to Die
Younger
Octogenarian I. H. Bernard has
an impressive formula for workers
wanting to live to a ripe old age.
The 87-yeärold Bemhard's formula:
"Work 17 hours a day, never relax,
work 50 years without a day off or
a vacation." Workers at the Ideal
Toy Corp. were not impressed. Bern­hard
is the vice-president.
A Negro's Prayer
After almost a year of walking
and sharing rides, and after making
it $765,000 less profitable for the
bus company, after braving police
harassment, white supremacy bombs
and court persecution, Montgo-mery's
Negroes won a Supreme
Court decision against segregated
bus seating. One unamed Montgo­mery
Negro put it' in a prayer,
"Lord we ain^t what.we oughta be.
We aui't what we wanta be. We ain't
what we're gonna be, But thank
God, we ain't what we was"
ALLSETTLED'
A businessman just' back from
a trip to YorlEshire' went into a
phone booth and called his girl
friend. In a few moments he came
out looking very bewilder^
"She's going to get married'Vbe
said to a friend,
"Don't worry," consoled the
friend. "There are lots of girls."
"Thafs the snag,'' replied - the
businessman, ^She*s going to marry
me".
Täällä Sudburyssa pian alkaa jän­nät

kilpailuissa. Siis hiibtoktlpai'

The North Atlantic waS} rough
that November. The port i hole^,
were dosed tight And vre'W8re
having a:l>uU session in the ;£OCS1Q
as the S.' S. Finland plow^ .hai
way home.
The subject was Jack London; the
favourite Story teller of the men of
the sea and pf millions of landsmen
as well. Old Bill. the quartermas*
ter, was bawling out a .youngster,
who was belittling our hero...
The kid was one of those shaUow
cynics. who spit on the beautiful
and true and the beroes of man^
kind. "Jack wasn't a sailor," the kid
was saying.; "He was just a b u l l . . .
ing writer".
That was falsehood and stupidity
too. And Utter blaspbemy to Bill.
And he grabbed the kid*s arm and
shook it "Get a littie salty before
you taik about Jack London", he
said. "Jack is a sailor,my boy.
Tvesbipped on the West Coast with
men he sailed with. He's one of
us".
"That he is", chimed Mike. an-'
other A. B.
We did not know Jack was*dying
as we spoke. He died on his ranch
in Glenn Ellen. Calif., on Nov. 22,
1916. Thafs just 40 years agO;
Jack was my^ favourite author. i
had thrilled to his stories o| man
against nature in .the North and
worker against capitalisi at home.
CLASS STRUGGLE.IDEAS '
. ;I.got my dass struggle ideas from
;Jack*s own mouth ashe lecturedin
our School auditorium in York Pa.
And I remember that lecture moro
vividly than almost any taik I've
heard since.
I did not know then that Jack was
a socialist Nor did I even know
what socialism meant. Nor am. I
sure whether Jack used the word
"sodalism" in his tolks to the kids
and vtheir papas and mamas.
, But his whole speech tingled with
thefire of the dass struggle. And
it^ended with the prediction that
the working people would win the
World for their own,
I can still see Jack with the eyes
of my childhood. He was a famous
writer abready. < But he didn't wear
t&e black broaddoth that our prin-dpal,
Mr. Pennypacker, and other
greatmen affected. He.was a gldw-ing,'
athletic young man in a loose.
open jacket that exposed his deep
chest. And he talked with simplicity
anger and humor of his early life
as a worker, and of what the work-er's
life ought to be.
ON A SEALING SHIP'
Jack London lias told some of
these stories in his book -—The
ftbadr-^and in revolutionary essays.

We should be feeling^a bit hostile towards Karl afterf
what he did last Winter. Wewere sure
of important races cinched and bet not only our last dollar

he let us down. < ,
However, we are going to be just as reckless this year
and will be even bolder in our predictions. We feel sure that
thöse elusive champion^ips which have been within Karrs
grasp in the past two years, willfinally come home this year.
We feel confident of this because Karl has worked and

In his final year of junior skiing and his stamina, which is
SO important in cross-country Skiing should be improved
with age.
We aare certainly of the: opinion that Karl will be the
person to watch on the'cross-country trails this Winter,
Those of our. readers whofollow the Finnish sections of
this paper will have hoticed that in many centres the activ-ities
around the hali have taken a sudden upsurge and.peoplie
are good nafuredly kiddmg each other about various things.
At times it would even seem as if a serious feud or riftis in
the process of developing. Howeverj that is not the case,
- Most of us are aware of the f act that especially the larger
branches of the Finnish'Organizatiori of Canada own pfoperty
valued at tens of thousands of dollars. The maintenance of
such properties requiresconsiderable money.
In recent years municipal taxes and insurance premiums
have increased to the point where regular income from admis-sions
and rentals liave not been sufficient to cover ali the
expenses. That is why during the first part of the yöar most
branches have been in the practise of organizing special
campaigns to raise fundsii Although the main emphasis is
generally placed on getting in a certain amount of money
regular cultural activities are not ignored. Generally the
funds are xaised; through various cultural activities and the
campaigns have a tendency to get activjti^ really bustling, J
But where does the feuding come in? It is a well known:
fact that competition can createinterest and thereforefund.
raising campaigns are generally organized on the basis of
half the membership competing against the other half. And
that, of course, causes the feuding, We generally call these ^
campaigns "sarjajuhlat".
Although not very many of the yöunger generation be-long
to the Finrush Organization but ratHer to the clubs of
the Finnish-Canadian Amateur Sports Federation, they too:
have something at stake in these sarjajuhlas,
AU members of the younger generation are aware of the }
fact that they have the use of the locai hali free of charge
and that wi11ioutvtlhe hali itwould be very difficult to carry
on the activities of the dlub, Therefore everybody connected
with the faall should pitch in and give a hand to raise the
necessary finances,
We*re asking you to take sides'and start feuding along
witb the rest of them to iielp maintain the property which
is at our disposaL .

stealing seais in the Ajiiep sea in de^
fiance of international regulatioris.
And her.crew men were outIaws.
They had less rights than the ordi-nary
serfs of the sea. who could be
knocked down and even killed at the
\vhim of the master and mates in
the savage 1890's.
Jack was only 17 then. But he had
to fight for his*rights and manhood
again and again.- I can still remem­ber
the blows struck in those deck
and focsle battles.
"WORKERS WHO WON'T FIGHT'!
But I got something more impor­tant
for my future at the -same
time. For Jack kepl cmphasizing
that the Masters of Labor respect
nothing but Power,; af loat and
ashore. , And wqikers, who won't
fight, can blame no one but .them-selves
if they are treatedlikeslaves.
Jack mäde that point several timcä
in his taik.
In the. 1890's, the unemployed
were, revolting against' starvation
and the tcrri^le depression. Jack
joined "General Kelly's Army" of
jobless workers, who werc "mar-ching"
towards Washington in do-zens
of<:freight cars.
Keliy*s "Army" didn't reach Wa­shington,
but Jack spoke with pride
of the courage of his buddies, who
defied county shcriffs and railroad
buUs and Vt0Wn 'cIowrt6f' for near-ly
1,000 miles.' And we kids gained

THE KLONDIKE
I think I came closcst to the spirit
of Jack London duting a year in
Nortbwest Alaska. For Jack had
mushcd dogs and bccn frostpbitien
in the great Klondike gold rush. His
best outdoor stories like The Call
of the Wild came out of the North.
And Jack London's namc wa8
known in almost every miner's ca-bin-
The Iron Heel was a precious do-cument
whcn I reached the North-land
in 1917. For the first World
War had begun. And Jack*s revo^
lutionary novel of the men of the
trusts, who drowned frcedom in
blood, was pulled out of books stOr
res back home, But copies of the
Iron Heel werescattered among the
gold miner's cabins, and they were
rupidly bcing.read to, pieces.
The tragedy of Jack London is
that he spent his latter years turn-
Ing out pot boiler» for money. His
worst stories were readable. He
could hardly write badly. But the
quality went down as he wrote to
buy more acres and stallions for
Glen Ellen ranch, and more wh»B-ky
to ruin himsetf with.
His politics wcnt down too. He re-garded
himself as a revolutionary
socialist to the crid, and signed his
letters to comrades "Yours for the
Rcvolution";. j Byft some ppisonpus
ideas of ivhite * supremacy, which
had bobbled up'occasiönally before,
came out more and more,
; Flashes of his revolutionary liter-ary
genius flamed up from time to
time, howAVer. For what'some of
us think is his greatest short story
The Mexican was wrttten just
three years before he died.
The Mexican is a saga of a revolu-tlon
and a powerfuI indictment of
diauvjnism as well. For the Mex­ican
Indian, who gave his prize
fight purses to the revolution
against Diaz, was a much better man
than ali the white fight fans in the
boxing arenas. And-his South Sea

London ;was the best known Am­erican
writer of his time, It is tra-gic^
that he is so neglected today,
vvhile his fame continues in foreign
lands, lie is honored.aUover Lätin
America and. Europe. 18 teUllön
more copies of his bopks hav^<1)eet|
sold In the Soviet Union; since the
Revolution.
««APPEAL T O HEASON"
*In his lifetime. however, his sto­ries
were spread oveir the pages of
most popular magazines.
Many of Jack*s best revolutionary
stories appeared in suchv socialist
joumals as The Appeal to Reason
and International Socialist Review.
His best short stories include:
The Mexican, The Apostate, the
greatest story of a child laborer
ever written in my opinion; The
Dream of J)ebs, the general strike
tele; South^9f the Slot a story of
San Frandsco's militant workers;
ToBuild a Fire, the tale of a chee-chako
(tenderfoot) perishing in the
sriow; Love of Life. ah Arctic story.
But I could go on Wri(;ing about
London for: many more i)ages. Fll
just add this note: Read Philip Fo-ner's.
