Infla- tion hasn’t set ine The above scene actually took place—but it -oceurred at the big Labor-Pro- gressive Party Bazaar last Sat- urday night, and the tenspot was only one of the hundreds of bogus bills which merrymakers “gambl- ed” carelessly away in the tra- ditional goldrush days fashion. When the three-day bazaar was over, everybody agreed that it was no exaggeration to say that it was one of the most suc- eessful affairs ever presented im Vancouver. A steady stream of eustomers patronized the booths and the little tea room, and MAXINE MAKEPEACE Winner of the prize in the Con- stituency Queen Contest at the LPP Bazaar and Carnival. ‘No Strike’ Reaffirmed By UAW NEW YORK — lLabor’s no- strike pledge was upheld by about two to one in the referen- dum conducted among the mem- bership of the United Automobile Workers, largest CIO affiliate, ac- cording to an estimate by Ben Garrison, chairman of the union’s referendum committee. Although the official count will not be re- jeased until ballots are sorted into the 16 geographical regions of the UAW, of the 300,000 mem- bers who voted in the referendum about 189,000 supported the pledge, 105, 000 voted against and 6,000 ballot were voided, Gar- yison indicated. The membership yeferendum was voted by the Jast convention of the UAW, after attempts were made to have the convention rescind the union’s unconditional no-strike pledge in favor of a limited pledge of no strikes in plants producing directly for the war effort. get the chance”! “This is something I every evening found the ballroom crowded with dancers. It was “standing room only’ where bin- go and other games were off- ‘ered. and the committee in charge reported that financially the ba- zaar was a fine success. The Labor-Progressive Party had taken over the entire Boil- ermakers Building for the event. Ed. Simpson, building manager, was on the job steadily, keeping a watchful eye on checkrooms, restrooms, kitchens, making sure that all hall facilities were in perfect running order. And the job of hall manager at the Boil- ermakers can be a very big pob, when several thousand people pass through the door within three days!* On _the first floor were the sales booths, each booth planned stocked and operated by an LPP club. Warm clothing for chil- dren, little stuffed toys, preserv- ed fruit and vegetables, hobby- craft articles, knitted goods, books, jewelry, wood carvings and dozens of other things on display. .Gontributions from al- most every. section of the proy- ince were shown, and it was evi- dent that many busy hands had spent long hours in their prep- aration. One of the most attractive booths was that stocked by a group of Vancouver women club members who ad gathered at a downtown clubioom to knit and sew days before the opening date. They had dene a beautiful job. This booth was veritable heaven for busy mothers who find it next to impossible to buy good children’s clothing today, for on the shelves at the ‘Workshop Booth” they saw a profusion of well-made flanellette sleeping clothes, knitted toddlers suits, Sweaters, knitted dresses, and fluffy gowns and dresses for the tiny baby. Other booths, too had equally fine displays, and it was inter- esting to note that many people who had wandered in ‘just to look around’? went home heavily laden. : The tea room, where sand- wiches, tea; coffee; cake and hot- dogs were on the menu, offered a welcome snack to bazaar guests, and business was brisk from the time the doors opened in the early afternoon until after mid- night. On the final evening, when huge throngs arrived to dance to the music of Billy Jones and his band and watch a fine floorshow, tea room attendants had almost to employ assembly- line tactics to take care of the rush of business. Many familiar faces could be seen at the big dance on Satur- day. Tom McEwen, Labor candi- date for the Yukon, was fittingly chosen to crown the Yukon Queen, Maxine Makepeace. Also on hand was IWA District Presi- dent Harold Pritchett. As one guest put-it, “Every- body I know is here, and a lot of swell people I didn’t know, until | now!” And it seemed that his senti- ment was widespread, and it was ebyious, as the last happy guest departed, that to quote an old | saying, “a good time was had by | all.” “WHAT!
