6 CCE. MEETING |
_AT GALIANO

_ ADDRESSED BY
R. GRANTHAM

GALIANG ISLAND, Mareh 6, —
-On Tuesday, Feb. 27th,
Grantham,..C.C.F. - candidate “for
the Nanaimo ‘riding, accompanied
by Mrs. Angus MacInnis, held. a
meeting in the Galiano Hall.
As chairman of the’ meeting,
_ Alan Steward, first introduced
Mrs. MacInnis, who for. the past 10
years has been- secretary for the
C.C.F: in Ottawa. ae
In -her opening remarks, Mrs.
‘MacInnis said she had a feeling at
her meetings -lately, that | -the
.C.C.F. is now received in-a much
more fr iendly manner than form-
er ly, and that whereas people used
‘to. listen politely, now .she feels
that they take a real interest in
the C.C.F.. The reason for this re-
“spect is, she said, because. in. the
1985 elections the: C.C.F. had ‘a

7 majority of 5,000. votes. over’ the

Conservative and - Liberal parties

- . in. British Columbia;

Mrs, MacInnis © said that My.
~ Mackenzie King closed parliament

“hour session, before any discussion ©
