rical at a pact between the Soviet
Union, Britain and France, sup-
ported by America.

This feeling has been strensthen-
ed by Roosevelt’s stand.

John Marchbank leader of the
powerful Railmen’s Union, appeals
in this week’s journal of the union
for Britain to follow America's
lead and impose economic penalties
on the aggressor countries. At the
Same time he pleads for all demo-
cratic powers to join the anti-as—

The whole Program attested to

the capabilities of the club and
was thoroughly enjoyed—- by the
visitors.

With a mempbersnip of nearly
700, less than 10 percent are em-
ployed. All the privileges of the
elub are free to the unemployed
and two instructors are at the
elub seven days a week ready to
assist and show those interested
in the art of wrestling and weight-
lifting.

Both these instructors are sup-
plied by the Provincial Recreations
Centers while a third man for box-—

Club Highlights

in their first year
Hight circles the international
Sports Club won in four divisions
in the novice boxing championships
of BC. Credit for this success is
due to the training and coaching
of Ronnie Beaudin.

George Bunka’s trained lads won
in all six classes of the Pro-Rec
wrestling championships, and are
training hard at their clubrooms
for the BC championships to be
held on April 2h and 29.

The club’s first year entries in
the weightlifting were winners in
two classes and runners up in two
others.

Tarzan Potvin is now in Ontario
for the summer while Frank Hall
and Ralph Loeffler have left with
the Red River Carnival for East-
ern points, but they will be back

Calli rt Home!

By JEAN CAMERON
See’y, Friends of the Mackenzie-
Papaineau Battalion

OST of the activity these
days is taken up with plans
for our big prized rawine and we

Ss
have devoted a Sreat deal of

effort to make the scheme fool-
proof. City Council recently
granted us permission to hold a
drawing and have applied to Ot
tawa for use of the mails.

The executive of the Secandin-
avian Workers’ Club has been
extremely generous in surrender-

ing to us the Sunday they had
reserved for its own picnic at the
Swedish community Brounds in
Dynn Valley, and the drawings
will take place there at a4 huge
barbecue picnic on July 9.
Another method of raising
funds presented itself this weelk
in the offer of ¢ladiola bulbs by
one of the largest srowers in the
province, and this office is now in
a position to supply the finest ob-
tainable in all colors. We can
deliver them at 30 cents a dozen.

)

FIRHERE have been many

quiries recently concerning
those veterans still in Franco's
prisons and when they will be
returning. Their return depends
on the amount of financial sup-
port, since each man will require
3150 transportation expenses.

@

ITH the last delegate meet

ing in the Mac-Pap offices
provine such a success, it is
planned to hold similar meetings,
t which representatives of inter-
ested organizations can attend,
at least once a month. The next
meeting is scheduled for Wed-
nesday, May 3, at 8 pm. If your
organization has not been repre
sented, or if through some over-
sight on our part you have not
received a letter, send your dele-
gates in any case and help us
solve some of our important
problems.

Don’t think that because the
majority of the veterans are back
that our troubles are over. There
are many things to look after yet.
