“Women in action will bring disarmament” was the theme of the Vancouver International Women’s Day Jubilee celebration Friday, March 11, at the Russian Hall. The actions and aspirations of women in B.C. throughout the past 50 years were depict- ed in a pageant by some of the pioneers and newcomers in the women‘s movement. The narration outlined the struggles of the women along- side their men in the building up of the province, in organ- izing the great labor move- ment, in the militant suffra- gette activities, in the grim and ugly hungry _ thirties, through the unprecedented de- mands, of the second world war, to be followed by the _fear and anxieties of the cold war. ea “But the greatest horror of OPEN DAY and NIGHT Hastings Steam Baths MU 4-0644 Masseurs in attendance 466 E.

Guest speaker was Mrs. Elsie Beeching, who recently returned from Berlin where she spent a year as English editor of “Women of the Whole World.” Mrs. Beeching outlined many activities of women in other parts of the world in- cluding Cuba, Africa, the soc- ialist countries, and called on Canadian women to take their place in the developing activ- ity for peace. Highlighting various aspects of the narrative were music. and dancing of children and members of Finnish, Russian and Ukrainian groups. A resolution was passed calling upon the government of France to reverse its decis- ion to explode further atomic tests. ‘ A highly successful event was also held in Nanaimo Sat- urday, which was attended by 100 persons, Mayor P. Maf- feo brought greetings and Mrs. J. Evans; mother of the minister of St. Andrew’s Pres- pbyterian church and Mrs. E. Beeching spoke. “Everything in Flowers” FROM EARL SYKES ‘56 E.
