The anti-Semitic “Canada Youth Corps” is signing up members in Toronto high schools, John De Cock, “commander” of the youth organization, told a “secret” meeting here, it was learned today. The meeting, in a downtown hotel, was led by David Stanley, a Scarborough youth whose mailbox was closed after he was accused of using it to mail out anti-Jewish literature.

Admittance was by invitation only, and the mimeographed invitations warned that “troublemakers” and newspaper reporters would not be admitted. Two “Varsity” reporters, posing as supporters, attended the meeting. But a Globe and Mail reporter and Don Roebuck, a University of Toronto graduate who had infiltrated Toronto right-wing groups, were discovered and forced to leave.
