News and Standings

Dear Friends:

= Congratulations to Burrard East whose members have been
Wor king like beavers this last week or so and have just got under
the wire with one sub over their 150 quota to win the drive

ee and also the honor of being the only city committee to
ae so. “ :
Tt w:

aS a close race between three committees, but Burrard
put in that extra punch that did the trick. South Vancouver
Came very near the mark too and made the largest contribution
Im amount of subs, as they turned in 179, just 21 short of their
200 quota.

Fairview ended up as third committee with 155 subs, 88
percent. Swing Shift has 82 percent—41 subs on 50 quota; and
Hastings Fast next with 163 subs on 200, or 78 percent. Then
we have Ol’ Bill with 72 percent of his 100 subs.

Only two other city committees topped the 50 percent. mark,
Kitsilano gained 40 subs during the week to a total of 146 on
250, and South Hill just over 50. percent.

The total of subs received from the 13 city committees, in-
eluding Ol’ Bill’s and 60 miscellaneous subs, was 1355 with a
percentage of about two new readers to one renewal.

Among the outside committees Prince Rupert remitted 103
subs on quota of 100, however about 25 of these were the fruits
of Bruce’s visit to Terrace and vicinity, so the actual count for
Pr. Rupert is under their quota. But Skeena constituency leads
all the rest with 117 subs. New Westminster is next with 111,
of which 46 were from New Westminster city and the remainder
from nearby centers. Aldergrove played the star role with a total
of 38 subs, thanks to the Vesterbacks who sold $39 worth between
them. ;

Comox Alberni made a total of 106, and its best committees
were the Albernis with 33 and Sointula with 24. North Vancou-
ver and constituency totalled 85—33 of these from the North
Burnaby Club. Victoria’s total was 78 and Nanaimo next with
65. Duncan was the leading committee here with’ 26 subs, and
Ladysmith next with 13. Kamloops constituency totalled 54, 32 of
these from Kamloops city and 12 from Salmon Arm; total from
Yale was 47, and 26 of these came from Vernon. Subs received
from Fraser Valley riding totalled 26, from Haney 8 and 7 from
Agassiz, the rest scattered. And from the Kootenays we received
22 subs. most of them from Sam English of Natal-Michel.

And now to give honor to the star drive workers whose
names appear below. I will put Bill Hreherchuk of East End in
first place since he sold over $50.00 worth of subs, and nearly all
of them were new readers too. All the others sold to varying
amounts over the $35.00. ; : 2

Bill Hreherchuk, Bill Purvis, Bruce Mickleburgh, Jim Blakey,
Al Grinkus, Ed Cinits, Ann Bedner, Bill Skinner, Floyd Anderson,

back.

And now. thanks for your interest and support—which I
feel sure you will now extend to the 5-By-5 club which makes its
debut this week.

Yours sincerely,
GRACE GREENWOOD.

TLC Scores Green’s
Anti-Unity Stand

Strong criticism of the refusal of AFL President William
Green to participate in the world labor conference being held
in England early in 1945 was voiced at this week’s meeting
of the Vancouver Trades and Labor Council (AFL).

Green’s position, based on hos-
tility to CIO and Soviet trade
union representation at the con-

ference, was condemned in a
resolution of Division 134.
Street Railwaymen’s Union, of

New Westminster, read to the
Other delegates sub-
seribed to Division 134 delegate
Robert Cormack’s remarks that
the APL stand was a betrayal
of the aims of the war and to the
unity of the peoples of the world.

Fishermen’s union’ delegates
brought forward resolution
asking the provincial sovernment

to proceed with the taking over
of the BCHlectric without delay
and leave the settling of terms
to later negotiations. The union
expressed the view that public

the development of electric pow-
er was expanded. Action on the
resolution was deferred until
BCER employees’ unions had
considered their stand. 5

Problem of 75 electrical
workers, brought from Toronto
by Selective Service for work
im the shipyards, and confront-
ed with the necessity of joining

weekly. Upon arrtval in Van-
couver they found a CCL union
in contrel and local Selective
Service refused to grant them
any subsistence allowance.
