Fans and Folly in a Canadian Doukhobor Pilgrimage
YORKTON N W T Oct 30 Many opinions on Doukhobors agree they pose no physical threat. They are on a peaceful religious pilgrimage as mounted police fail to split them. Women and children stay in town under guard while men travel toward Saltcoats four miles away. The group, exiled from the Caucasus in 1899 for persecuted beliefs, practices vegetarianism and crafts, with some家 embracing meat or animal welfare. The piece notes potential sect splits, communal versus individual living, and views the Doukhobors as industrious and honest despite historical clashes with Russia and Canada.
