LOCAL SOCIALISTS' PROGRAM.
SERIES OF LECTURES ARRANGED.
Summerland Local of the Socialist Party of Canada will meet every Monday night through the winter, for the discussion of questions of sociology, economics, and philosophy. The meetings will be held, until further notice, at Jack Logie's house in the Peach Orchard, and will begin at eight o'clock.
A lecture will be given or paper read on topics under discussion, and then an open debate will follow. All are invited to these meetings, and should sufficient interest be manifested arrangements will be made for a larger meeting place.
