"Chinese Speakers Appeal for Help," Regina Leader-Post. August 9, 1943. Page 3. --- Three service clubs in the city learned something about the Chinese from the Chinese on Monday at luncheon meetings.

David Yee addressed the Rotarians, Regis Bing-Woo was guest of the Kiwanis club, while the Lions club heard Miss Isobel Bing-Woo.

All three speakers stressed the need for aid to China, and touched briefly on conditions to their own knowledge in various parts of their native land. They also thanked Canadians, on behalf of their countrymen, for past and future aid.

Scouts Help The Boy Scouts lent a hand Friday and Saturday in distributing 250 posters throughout the business section of the city. A. T. Hunter has taken on the job of supplying the postmasters, merchants and branches of the Canadian Legion in the rural sections of the unit with the same posters and promotion material.

Tuesday night CKCK will feature a half-hour transcription program dedicated to the Chinese War Relief fund. The program is to commence at 7 p.m. There will be similar shorter programs every Friday, from Aug. 13 to the end of the campaign month of 15-minute duration, from 6:30 to 6:45. Scripts have a definite Chinese appeal and come from the authoritative pens of such notables as Pearl Buck, Horace Brown and Charles Martin. Screen and stage stars will enact the poignant themes and Lynne Fontanne and John Garfield are only two of the many stars featured.

H. G. L. Strange, director of the research department of the Searle Grain Co. in Winnipeg and well known in this city, recently commented on the worthiness of the fund.

Said Mr. Strange: "Our gallant allies, the Chinese people, badly need help. For six long years China has been holding in check the greater part of the military strength of Japan. China has lost more men in killed and wounded in this war than all the other Allied nations, including Russia, put together. The Chinese, by fighting Janan, are defending Canada today just as truly as though they were fighting in Canada with us, but our gallant, patient and courageous friends now need help.

Pitiful "Their condition is pitiful. They need medical supplies and comforts. They need food for the millions of refugees who have escaped from Japanese-occupied territory into Free China, and, to add to their plight, China is now suffering over a large area from a severe drought, which is bringing famine and untold miseries in its wake.

"It takes money to buy the things the Chinese people so urgently need, so they are appealing to the Canadian people for help through the Chinese War Relief fund. It is one of the worthiest appeals ever made to Canadian people. The smallest sum will be gratefully accepted. Let each of us, therefore, give as generously to this fund as he can afford to. As little as one dollar will help to save a life."

The public are reminded that all donations will be accepted by any chartered bank in Regina, or may be addressed to the Chinese War Relief fund, Regina. All donations over $10 will be acknowledged by The Leader-Post.

This afternoon, DOGE fired every employee at the Institute for Museum and Library Services, deleted their emails, and vanished federal funding for public libraries and museums.

They won't be so bold as to burn the books, but they will greatly limit your access. When the good learn, so do the evil.

When you really think about it, it's financial abuse. Institutions are being held hostage financially to bow to the whims of another or risk no longer existing. I don't even know if I feel angry at the institutions that have decided to bow because, at the very least, they are still available and able to help others with the few resources they have left. It's fucked all the way around.

We should bring back independent/community-supported pamphlets. (See: political pamphlets of the 1800's and Jstor's collection of 19th century British Pamphlets) Most of these efforts now exist on social media but are heavily censored via algorithms. What we need is something offline that can't be limited with the push of a button. Something tangible.

You can literally leave them behind anywhere like a lost glove. There's a lot of power in that. We could even offer QR codes on the physical copies so that viewing it online is still an option. I think the internet is too volatile a place at the moment to remain our sole source of information. It's too easily manipulated, the algorithms keep us in a vacuum, and there are too many bots proven to incite rage and prevent productive discourse. We need something people-oriented. I think zines would be perfect. They want the old ways back, so let's give it to them along with all the revolutionary efforts that come with it.

Hey there! I read both Reprogrammed and Decoded and was blown away. Unfortunately (sorta), my odd little brain had one little question that was burning from the end of Reprogrammed till the end of the story: what about the Wild Kratts Kids? How did they react to Chris's disappearance/return? I know if I were 8 and my teacher (i guess thats an okay metaphor? maybe?) randomly disappeared for 3 months and came back 10 pounds lighter with dozens of new scars and white hair in their early twenties, I'd be a little torn up/curious. How would Chris feel about showing up on screen in front of a bunch of kids in his state? Would he...wear a...hat...or something...? I don't know, just thoughts lol

They never told the public that Chris was missing (Didn't wanna scare the kids or give the Villains the knowledge that they were vulnerable)

And being out in the most rural parts of the world, it's not uncommon for them to go months without any sort of public appearance. For now, Martin is handling any sort of press alone until Chris is ready to be back in the public eye.

But of course they still run into a wild kratts kid every once and a while.

He's still working on his alibi.....

Jeanneil fake besties of all time. Kings of committing to the bit. Neil could say whatever and Jean would (rightfully) assume it’s part of a scheme to keep them alive and would corroborate immediately.

the thing with chappell is that it’s important to be principled, it’s admirable to be outspoken, it’s a good thing that she’s saying what she’s saying in the space that she’s in. but you can’t be those things and also unprepared and unable to take care of yourself when your chosen profession is Public Person. i’ve never disagreed with anything she’s said but if she keeps taking it this hard then her team needs to figure out a way to change the way she currently operates otherwise her career is going to be short and have longterm damage

"PREMIER RUNS PRESS RAGGED BY SPEED IN WAR FIRM TOUR," Toronto Star. October 10, 1942. Page 8. --- Mr. King Sees Everything in Huge Machine-Gun Plant --- LAUDS GIRLS' PART ---- Prime Minister King is in good condition physically. He must be. For after a lightning tour of the big John Inglis plant Friday, he left" a party of newspaper reporters and photographers gasping. He climbed stairs and walked down stairs rapidly. He walked briskly down long buildings, buildings as long and as wide as a football field. He walked through long yards. The newspaper group, at the conclusion of the tour of the empire's biggest machine-gun factory, promptly looked for places to sit down and get a rest.

With A. L. Ainsworth. vice-president. Mr. King walked through the marine engine plant, seeing the raw product and finally the finished en- cine intended for one of Canada's naval vessels, He saw thousands of men and girls working on machine- guns and clips. then climbed into " basement room where women were firing guns. He took a peek through the telescope which "spots" for Bren guns. He did not fire a gun, though, since work went on steadily all through the tour.

Crossing from one plant to another, a sergeant of the Inglis security guard stood directly in front the prime minister. "Where's your pass?" he asked. Mr. King stopped for a second and then the sergeant stepped aside at Mr. Ainsworth's wave.

At the foot of a flight of stairs, where there was barely room for two people to pass, a man was standing. King stopped. "What's your name?" he asked. The man replied with. "What's yours?"

"W. L King is my name," the prime minister replied. shaking hands and laughing heartily. Delighted with Production He stopped several times to chat with both men and women employees of the plant, telling them they had a grave responsibility and declaring he was delighted with the production figures. He inspected plant charts which showed absenteeism and said he was greatly impressed with the plant.

"I am surprised to see the large propertion of women workers," said Mr. King as he emerged from his whirlwind trip. "Our Canadian women are not idle. They realize that we are fighting for freedom. I noticed, too, how efficient the women are and how clever they are at their intricate machine work. I haven't been here for some time and therefore its a real surprise to see how the women have taken over so many jobs that the men were doing. It's a splendid work they are doing and they are all so happy at their jobs. They were all smiling I noticed, too."

The first stop that the prime minister made was at a table where a middle-aged woman was testing gun barrels.

"He asked me what I was doing. so I explained the job to him," she said. "Did you know who he was?" "Why, of course, I did!"

Irma Larsen. the first girl employed at the Inglis plant following the declaration of war, received special attention from Mr. King. "How do you like being in charge. of so many ladies he queried, stepping into the noisy little office, in the centre of the plant. "It's the best," said Miss Larsen, with a wide smile. "It's tops."

"Doing Great Work" The prime minister laughed and said to Miss Larsen. "That's great. Please give my best wishes to everybody in the plant. They are doing great war work."

"Til tell them," promised Miss Larsen.

Driver Phyllis Morrow, smart in her chauffeur's uniform, stood stiffly at attention when the official party came out of the gates to the prime minister's car. He stepped over to the pretty girl.

"I am impressed with the work the girls are doing at this plant."

Mr. King said, adding, "Have your any relatives overseas?"

"Yes, sir," Driver Phyllis replied, "a brother, Bud Morrow. He is in the Canadian Signal Corps."

"How do you like your job, and what are your duties?" "I like this job fine," Miss Morrow answered. "I drive cars and guide important people through the plant."

A driller, Gladys Morton, told the Premier that she has been on the job 10 months. "I am simply doing my duty," she insisted, at which the premier said, "Good girl."

Women particularly paid keen attention to the visit of the prime minister. And every feminine face wore a wide smile, and Mr. King returned them all with a nod and a wave of his hat. Photon caption:

It's interesting that when Keeley is telling Ted about the implications of that photo of him and her leaking to The Sun, she says "Jamie is going to go mental" but it's not followed up with "he's going to think i cheated on him" or "he's going to break up with me" or "it's going to ruin our relationship" it's instead followed up by, "there's going to be photographers all over us!" And later when she's talking to Rebecca it's, "My god, Jamie would've been so pissed off with reporters poking around in our love life." There's something to be said for like, she never once expresses doubt that Jamie won't hear her out on the truth or believe what she tells him. The major focus of her concern is just keeping their business out of the press. Their relationship in season one is far from perfect but there's a lot of implicit trust between them.
