Touche left us in the early hours of May 2, 1950. Her last day was spent with her fellow workers of Toronto, celebrating with the workers of the whole world the glorious traditions and struggles of May Day. Her last conscious hours were spent in preparation of the first great Canadian Peace Congress - to mobilize Canada's people, together with the peoples of the whole world, to stay the bloody hand of the warmakers. As a master builder of the great and sacred edifice of peace, Isobel Ewen Arygros helped to build a granite foundation, which others in her spirit will complete as a monument to human dignity and happiness - against which all the storms of hate, intolerance and war conspiracies will dash in vain.      As a fine and brave Communist woman, she won the love and respect of all who knew her. She wore no Communist laurels that she herself hasn't earned. We who knew Touche as "mother," sister and daughter, learned more than we taught, received much more than we gave. Her inexhaustible store of love and devotion to the cause of the common people, gave us a priceless gift.      Bandung, Helsinki, Geneva, Hiroshima, New Delhi - wherever the thousands of representatives of millions of the common people of all lands met to proclaim their will and determination for peace and human weal, I saw the face of this woman, radiant with hope and confidence, not because she was my daughter, but because she was my comrade, and in many of the things which count, my teacher.

Touche belonged to that great battalion of brave Communist women workers, those workers who never "hit the headlines" but are the real makers of history, fighting on after every defeat, after every set back, after every heartbreak, strong in their conviction of the justice of the cause they serve, confident of its ultimate victory.

"The only theory comrade Beattie has, he said, 'is to get a punch at the police, and that is a very good theory.' "

Stephen Endicott quoting Tom McEwan, "Raising the Workers' Flag: The Workers' Unity League of Canada, 1930-1936"
