FINANCIAL DRIVE

OPENS ON MARCH 1

The Pacific Tribune Annual Financial Drive opens March 1. The objective this year is $17,000 and will require the com-

we are confident that the $17,000 will be raised we are aware of the effort that will be required to ensure this success. Based on the successful conclusion of the financial drive it is our intention to increase the size of the paper by another .20%- by Labor Day, 1961. This will give us a regular! format .2¥2 inches longer than the present size. Taken together with .the increase to the alternate circulation drive last fall the result will be a 45% increase in

purpose in submitting any fur- ther bids for any type of goods if they were made in China.

A statement issued by John- son compares this attitude to the recent announcement that China had purchased sixty mil- lion dollars worth of Canadian grain. This purchase alone rep- resents almost double the total value of goods Canada has pur- chased from China since 1950.
