New ‘23rd psalm’

By WiINNLE WILLIAMS

mine is my shepherd; I shall
not want,

Tt maketh me go down into dark
sunless pits

It leadeth me beside the dread
silicosis

It restoreth my doubt in the dread
industry.

It leadeth me in the, paths of de-
struction for its companys
sake

Wea, though I lay down my-tools

to demand my right, I do

fear evil

For the owners are against me.

Their policy and their profits do
fight me,

They prepare to starve me out in
the presence of mine enemies

They praise my wages as high,
but

My cost of living runneth over
my income.

Surely they will triumph and haunt
mie all the days of my life,

And I will quiver in their presence
forever.

P.S. That is, unless my fellow
trade unionists don’t stand by me
and help me fight like h——!

North Van to
conduct forum

The first of a weekly
People’s Open Forum for Ac-
tion’ was held last Sunday at
the LPP hall on the corner

of 8th and Lonsdale.

Most open forums though they
discuss the question thoroughly,
arrive at no conclusion. They are
rather like safety valves where
one can “get it off his chest” and
forget about it. Points are raised
for both sides of the question but
there it ends.

The North Vancouver People’s
Q@Qpen Forum for Action is, as its
mame implies, an active body.
Current issues, local, national and
international, will be discussed
and voting will take place to
discover the opinion of the for-
um on each question. Direct ac-
tion will be taken as laid down
by the people in open forum.

Last Sunday the removal of the
milk subsidy was the topic dealt
with resulting in a resolution ask-
ing that a Royal Commission be
set up to investigate the Situa-
tion and in a delegation being
sent to the North Vancouver City
Council requesting them to take
direct action on this question.

The topic for next Sunday will
be “Are the Miners Entitled to a
Public Hearing?” The time, 2:00
p-m.

Burnaby Council may
set up kindergarten

BURNABY—Iif Burnaby Muni-
cipal Council gives its approval,
a bylaw will be placed before
ratepayers when the municipal
elections are held this December
to authorize the school board to
spend $1,200, derived from sale
of school property, on establish-
ment of kindergarten classes in
Burnaby.

Expenditure of the $1, 200, plus
grants for the purpose obtainable
from the provincial government,
will enable the school board to
eStablish three kindergarten
classes, thus placing Burnaby as
the first municipality in the prov-
ince to propose implementation
of a policy long sought by the

School board and advocated by
labor and other progressive or-
ganizations.

in November. The opposition

Instead the convention affirmed
the right of any member to hold
