Hastings St. BURY GARMENT STRICTLY UNION MADE| Veteran Labor Leader Passes Bob Lealess died Tuesday in St. Paul’s Hospital after a lingering illness. Widely known throughout the province and particu- larly for his educational ac- tivities in Vancouver, Bob’s passing: wall brine back many memories of the “hungry thirties” struggles. He was a first rate Marx- ist student amd while in the leadership of ex-seryicemen and the Unemployed Coun- cil’s movement he - brought a clear understanding of the need for unity amongs work- ers and progressive people generally. In South Vancouver hun- dreds of people came in con- tact with Bob through the lecture platform; on action committees, in conferences. Nothing was too small for him, if it were a poor wo- min trying to get shoes for her kids, Bob would argue it out at the relief office. Bob was a first world war veteran. He played his part in the ““‘Wobblies,” the OBU, t.e Socialist Party of Can- ada, and later joined the Communist Party of the USA. He returned to B-G. in 1932, took part in the famous “Trek to Ottawa” and for the next ten years played an intensive part in the rapidly growing pro- gressive movement. He crossed swords with most of the present leader ship of the CCF, and sharply warmed at that time of their isolationism and betrayal of unity and its consequences. Throughout Vancouver Island, in the interior and up North many people will mourn the untimely passing of Bob Gealess. Born in Ire- land 51 years ago, there can be little doubt that priva- tion over a number of years and a selfless devotion to the movement which often entailed hardship, shortened his life. He leaves his wife, Peggy, and two young sons, Bob and Billy. The funeral will be held at the Mount Pleasant Funeral Parlors 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 21. WAND STUDIG “Anything With a Camera” 8 E. Hastings St. PAc. 7644 VANCOUVER, B.C. Subscription Drive News and Standings DEAR FRIENDS: They say the first thousand is the hardest to make— if that’s so we are a little over halfway through the worst of the struggle, because the drive today is just a little over the 500 mark, two weeks after the official opening of the drive. But everybody should be pretty well warm ed up by this time, and I feel sure that a regular ava- lanche of subs is about to roll into The People’s office. aes the mailman won’t love me anymore, but such is life! ‘ Pairview branch is still way out in front with 54 subs turned in. No less than 17 of these have been turned in by energetic A. Grinkus, and when he dropped in to the office the other day he assured me that he wasn’t through yet by a long shot. Bill Purvis, also of Fairview, has turned in almost as many——both these press workers have concentrated almost entirely on new readers. This is excellent work. Hastings East is holding second place with 36 subs, and Pete Fiori is the star turn here with 14 subs chalked up to his personal credit. Burrard East is in third place with 31 subs and South Vancouver right on their heels with 30. Other press workers who must take a bow in this week's report are William Hreherchuk of Bast End who has turned in 15 of their 20 subs. WHreherchuk has not allowed his limited command of English to prevent him from making one of the best records of the drive. And then there is-Anne Bedner, a shining light in Kitsilano, who has turned in 8 subs, all new. This is Anne’s first participation in a press drive. She surely shows promise. Yotal for all city clubs is 323, which includes 19 from OI Bill’s supporters. The balance is from all over B.C. and the Jargest total is from Skeena—42 subs—30 of these, valued at $41, were received from Bruce Mickle- burgh, Prince Rupert. So Bruce is high man for the drive to date. Congratulations! He is the first person to make his $35 and will receive the first copy of Earl Brow- der’s ““Teheran—Our Path in War and Peace.”’ Bruce has been campaigning in Terrace and as a result of his visit there we welcome 15 new readers in that area. : ' Last week a mistake was made in crediting subs from Duncan to Comox-Alberni constituency—subs from Duncan (12 to date), are credited to Nanaimo. Thought I had better get this correction in since this was our cham- pion club in the last drive and I’d hate to get off on the wrong foot with them, because I’m sure they are going to put up a real fight to keep the drive trophy. : Comox-Alberni has 24 subs, but has not improved its position much since last week. New Westminster has 23, and 7 of these were received from the Vesterback family in Aldergrove. Further up the Fraser Valley we have several new readers in Agassiz,, from Mrs. Stilwell. A shipment of the book premium “Sabotage” is on hand and copies will be mailed to all who have sent a re- newal for one year, or a new sub for one year. As there was a little delay in getting the books we have a long mailing list to catch up with, so please be patient if you | don’t receive yout copy as quickly as you expected. Don’t forget to send your entry in for a new name for our new paper —— remember the contest closes on October 30. So until next week! Yours sincerely, - GRACE GREENWOOD. HAst. 0340 766 E.
