Three members of the Canadian National Socialist Party picketed a Jewish merchant’s store here, carrying misspelled signs reading “Are Jews Privileged Persons?” the Canadian Jewish Congress reported. Two of the pickets identified themselves as “party chairman” and “London district party secretary.” The third was a 14-year-old boy. Police ended the picketing after some 15 hecklers gathered. Store owner Meyer Fink refused to comment to avoid “giving these people any kind of publicity.”
