Special. Skills
Built Success

By BOB LUDWIG

The Swedish Park in North Vancouver was the place,
and Saturday, July 24, was the day for the annual picnic,

‘of Local 1-217, IWA.

The most conservative esti-
mates indicate that some 2500
children crowded through the
gates. If you add to this num-
ber a fair sprinkling of parents
and other relations you will read-
ily understand what is meant by
the term, “Big Picnic”.

Special Skills.

A lot of special skills went
into the job of making this picnic
a success. For instance, few
members knew that Bert Full-
james has outstanding talent for
handling cracked ice. Bert show-
ed-that he could handle 50-pound
bags of the stuff just like he
knew all along it was for cooling
soft drinks,

Sam Groutage, working with a
small corps of assistants, waved
about 1500 cars into close posi-
tion. When last seen he was
studying a map of North Van,
looking for more empty lots.

A platoon of other members
which included Emmett Holmes
and Les Bradley, kept the ice
eream and drinks moving. Tom
Clarke could be seen in a hot
kitchen stirring a vat of what
looked like coffee with what look-
ed like a canve paddle.

“The Voice” .

Charley Le Marthe threw his
lungs and voice into the P.A.
system. He is now known as
“The Voice’. Tommy Haggart
was active in so many jobs that
he was seen in at least three dif-
ferent places at the same time.

Arranger Harry Bardsley kept
a sharp eye on every detail, it is
thought that he selected the ideal
weather.

Stu Hodgson’s success on the
tug-of-war rope is attributed by
some to his navy background.
Others think it was sheer ton-
nage that did the trick. And with
all this even the kids had fun.

Fact is it was a very worth-
while day for the young ones, and
obviously a couple of thousand
happy kids make for the nicest
kind of Public Relations.

SPECTACULAR FINISH of the tandem specialty contest at the [WA Annual Picnic found prominent
members of the Women’s Auxiliary on the receiving end of the nippled bottles with which they had
tortured their husbands during the preliminary trials. The bottles were loaded with ‘pop” but the
nipples presented all the well known difficulties to adults in a hurry. r
