Evidence Shows Trouble Arose Over Desire to Have Relief Card Restored to Alleged Communist
----
Acquittal was given nine unemployed workers all inmates of the Vitre street day refuge by Recorder Aime Leblanc in the Recorder's Court yesterday on charges of having disturbed the peace. Their arrest followed in the wake of a rowdy meeting on December 2 last between a delegation of the unemployed workers receiving relief and G. B. Clarke, manager of the Protestant Relief Committee's offices on St. George street, over cancellation by the relief bureau of the relief card of an alleged Communist.
Evidence before the court showed that one John McMartin, branded by the police as a "Communist," had had his relief card cancelled by officials of the Protestant Relief Committee on December 1 last on the grounds that he was disseminating subversive propaganda amongst inmates of the Vitre street refuge. McMartin complained at the St. George street offices of the committee, and was told to see Mr. Clarke on the morrow during business hours.
The next day, McMartin, accompanied by a group of the unemployed receiving relief, turned up and asked to see Mr. Clarke. They affirmed that they comprised a "delegation," and wanted to protest against cancellation of McMartin's relief card. Their request was refused because they had not appeared during the specified business hours of the office, but the men became so persistent that Mr. Clarke was obliged to see them. He told them that their complaints would be Investigated, but they demanded the immediate renewal of McMartin's relief card. Surging into the office, the crowd of men is alleged to have become menacing, and the police were called.
Arrested on charges of "disturbing the peace by shouting outside of No. 1027 St. George street,” nine of the men faced the Recorder yesterday in chambers. Outside in the lobby was gathered a crowd of "sympathizers" estimated at some 60 in number.
DISTURBING OF PEACE.
Following deposition of evidence, J. H. Blumenstein, attorney for the nine accused, asked that the charges against all men be dismissed. Complaints against them charged that they had disturbed the peace "outside" of the St, George street offices, he noted, but there was no disturbance there. What had happened - and it represented but the submission by the nine men of definite-demands to Mr. Clarke - had gone on inside of the offices.
"If a delegation waits on somebody and lays down certain demands, is that to be interpreted by the law as willful disturbance of the public peace?" Mr. Blumenstein asked.
Recorder Leblanc, in his judgment, acquitted all nine men.

When I told my mom that I expected it to be an absolute zoo at work when I got back, I didn't mean literally. We've got what appears to be a dead bat on a window ledge by the stairs, and a bird just flew into the Tutorial Services director's office upstairs.
IUD UPDATE! It was in my uterus the whole time! It was probably just blocked by my meatwads mad balls fibroids on the ultrasound.
Two or three years ago, I had about a 5-8 day stretch of some of the worst pain I've ever had. It lasted for days and kept getting worse. It would spike and ebb. I remember the last few days being alone in my car, turning up Foetus super loud and just screaming as loud as I could. And then it finally passed and went back to a normal level of pain.
The last couple weeks, I thought, Oh, I wonder if that was actually my IUD forcing its way out.
But it turns out, no. It most likely was fibroids dying off and detaching themselves from my muscle wall.
And in a way, it just makes me sad for my body. No pain level should be low key normal. But it is. And we'll never know why. And we might not be able to stop it.
;-; I had a nightmare, but in the middle of it, it calmed down for a moment and K was hugging me and rubbing my back. He kept looking down at me with a very gentle expression, checking to see if I’m ok. And then it was a scary dream again but!! that middle part was so tender!!!! 😭😭 i missed him so bad last night, I suppose he felt it and wanted to rescue me from a bad dream, even if just for a second 🥺💛

SAULT STE. MARIE, Feb. 23 — Mrs. Bernadette Doyle, who a week ago pleaded guilty to sending a threatening letter to Mrs. Annie Fowler, today pleaded guilty to sending similar letters to Monsignor T. J. Crowley, Mayor James Lyons and Mrs. Daisy Hampton, city relief officer. She was remanded eight days for sentence.
I have another gig in a week and I'm so nervous 😭 I get paid hundreds of dollars for only five hours of work, but it is so nerve-racking and the work environment is so stressful, like literally every time I'm there I'm on the verge of tears or I have to take a 2 minute break before the show starts just to run to the restrooms and cry bc I get so stressed out. And then when I clock out I just cry my eyes out in my car while driving home. But hey!!! Hundreds of dollars!!! For five or six hours of my time!!! Only a few days a month!!! Hundreds!!! Of dollars!!! So it would be totally stupid to quit.
I wouldn't have been able to afford pampering myself on my last two F/O anniversaries (and currently placing an order for a rose bouquet for Six's anniversary for the 18th) if I didn't have this second job... but if it didn't pay me such a large amount of money each time, I probably would have quit by now bc it makes me so damn anxious. The show isn't even for one week and I'm sitting here stressing about it! I have one thousand other things to stress about and this job shouldn't be one of 'em 😤
I just keep trying to think about Ken hugging me while saying "Aw, sweet girl, don't be nervous! You JUST started this job, you've only worked three shows -- you think you're gonna be perfect your first try?? You're gonna be so good once you get the hang of it. Just look at me! I've been doing Beach for 62 years now, and I still don't know what my job is supposed to be... but I know I look So Cool™ 😎"
