Bomb

(Continued from Page 1)

Civic Workers Union to con-
struction of bomb - sheiters,
Jack Phillips, Secretary of the
union said, “The advertise-
ment published in the daily
papers reflected the thinking
of our membership. That is
why they authorized the offi-
cers to place it in those papers.

“Tt would .appear that the
mayor took public issue with
the advertisement because he
received many letters endors-

shelters

of Alsop and urged the people |
|of B.C. to follow him in the}
building of bomb shelters. |
As an added premium he stat- |
ed that Premier Bennett was |
building one at his Kelowna |
home.

ing its position. Personally, I}

beleive that if only ten per |

cent of the people in Vancou-
ver who share the sentiments
of Governer Meyner would
take the time to write to the
mayor, he would . be very
cautious about flying-in the
face of public opinion.

“Tf Vancouver becomes the
target of a hydrogen bomb,
civic employees (those who
were left) would have to work
in the death-filled debris, sub-
ject to the dangers of radia-

we hope that we will not be
required to do that job. That
is why we are pleased to give
our support to those who work
for peace.”

Provincial Secretary Black

Meantime great attention is

|being focussed on the “No
|More Hiroshimas’’ meeting,
| Friday, August 5th, 8 p.m.,
j}at the Kerrisdale Arena.

|The Vancouver Province in
ja thinly veiled editorial (see
P. T. eitorial page 4) attacked
the meeting and its “sponsors.
|'This would seem to indicate
i|that the growing movements of
peace are alarming the cold-
warriors and that a stepped up
attack is underway to weaken
and destroy these movements.
| Although it is not necessarily
| ordained, it is entirely likely
| that these efforts are foredoom-
jed to failure. This conjecture
| however rests on the efforts of
ithe people for peace. See you
at the Kerrisdale Arena.

OBITUARY

The recent death of Frank
Chamois in Shaughnessey Mil-
itary Hospital in his 80th year
removes a colorful figure from
the pioneer ranks of B.C. la-
bor.

Frank Chamois served with
the French army in the 1900

Boxer uprising and _ later
throughout the first world
war. Emigrating to Canada,

Chamois homesteaded on the
prairie before moving to B.C.

During the thirties Chamois
was an active member of the
Communist party and an ac-
tive supporter and builder of
the workers’ press.
