Physical culture performances by teams from Vancouver Recreation- al Centres were outstanding feat- ures, the instructor bringing the greetings of 13.000 members to an audience composed mainly of young people. _ Prizes were distributed to design - ers of peace poster exhibits, which were of high quality, and a play, “Bigger and Better Wars,” symbol- ized the Youth Congress movement in a pledge chorused by the actors declaring they would form a league of youth against war.

Over $200 has been subscribed by lumber workers through their union, all of which has been acknowledged in the union’s or- fan, Chivers stated.

With Arthur Eivans as master of ceremonies a varied program was enjoyed by the audience which gave generous applause to per- formers. The powerful play, “Newsboy,” Staged by the Vancouver Theatre of Action group, concluded the cele- bration. Three scenes of “Bury the Dead” were also staged by the dramatic group, although, owing a National shipment Chivers, campaign HOUSING (Continued from page 1) disappointed in not seeing the full play, which they believed was to be | presented. | A remarkable mass photograph was taken of the audience, a print of which may be seen at the office of the PA. 57 per cent, or $28,000,000, went to investors residing outside Gan- ada.

In order to reach the Clarion of- fice, Toronto, by November 26, all BC supporters should see that final donations reach the Vancouver of- fice by November 21, when funds will be rushed by airmail to be counted in the final tabulations. Expectation of more funds from Vancouver Island is based on the fact that this territory has more than one-tenth the population of BC, making $300 the proportionate Share. To date, the district office has received $200 from the Island. Qn the same basis Greater Van- couver has raised $1,277 of its $1,500 quota. NORTH BC DOES WELL Worthern BC, which includes At- +; lin and all centres from Prince Rupert to Quesnel and Prince George, has contributed the mag- nificent sum of $420. Leaving nothing to chance how- ever, the committee states that if each of the 53 smaller localities participating in this drive will ex- ceed their quotas by $7, the Clarion cup is as good as over the Rockies this year. There is every reason to believe that the small committees will rise to the occasion, declares the drive committee. This week, Blubber Bay raised its total to $44.65; Cumberland sent in an additional $38.17; Prince George, another $7; Salmon Arm passed its quota of $40; Victoria, promising more, sent $25; Quesnel rose to a new high with $57.25: an authorized union collection from Wancouver Street Railwaymen realized $56. First contributions arrived from Mission, BG, $11; Fort Fraser, $5; Cowichan Lake, $1.50. Union Backs Jobless Girls Takes Up Cases With City Relief Department When Abuses Brought To Attention. Championed by the Domestic Workers’ union, a §rowing number of single unemployed Zirls in the city have recently banded together in order to protect themselves against exploiting employers who both insult them and endeavour to work them for little or no pay. This week two girls applied for work or relief and were ordered to take housework offered at 233) 2h month with no alternative of relief. Appealing the union for help after refusing such slave labor, a delegation interviewed Alderman P. Pettipiece, Wednesday, and learned that the woman at the em-_ ployment office had no right to make this dictatorial offer and on further investigation it was found that a school girl was wanted for one of the $5 jobs offered. Officials of the Domestic Worls- ers’ union, making a test case at the employment office, found that references were also demanded by officials who declared that no re- lief would be given to any girl re- YL = CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING ADVERTISING RATHS et Classifiee, 5 ines 25c.” Displa; advertisements, 75c per colums inch.

Reserve Miner Killed In Fall NANAIMO, BC, Nov. 11.—A ver- dict of accidental death, with no blame attached to anyone, was the finding of the coroner’s jury em- panelled to inquire into the death of John Bowness, miner, who was fatally injured by a fall of rock in Reserve Mine, Thursday. With the shadow of recent mine tragedies hanging over Nanaimo, the fullest enquiry was made tu ascertain the cause of the accident.

At current rates, value of ex- ported logs for the current year was $22,000,000. A provincial log export tax of 15 per cent on all logs exported by foreign interests would reflirn an estimated revy- enue of $3,000,000. This, together with the proposed tax on for- eign profits from BG mines, would bring in an estimated ad- ditional revenue of $5,800,000. Here then, is a ready source of income for financing of the pro- posed civic housing- slum clearance program if only the government will consider the needs of our own people before the profits of for- eign investors. The additional taxes would not work a hardship on small merchants and businessmen, but would procure the money from those well able to pay. Such a housing and slum clear- ance program as herein proposed would, if puti into effect, assist the unemployed by providing them with gainful employment, as well as remove the slums and provide more Sanitary and more comfortable homes for our citizens. this nerve-steadying weed experi- enced by most soldiers and have quickly organized themselves into committees pledged to raise var- ious amounts.
