Labor Hears Pension Head ——_ Waddington Raps Old Age Pension System Deseribing the method of grant- ing old age pensions in Canada as that of a “glorified loan society and detective agency,” H. H. Wadding- ton, president, Old Age Pension iBenevolent Association, pleaded be- fore the Prades Council Tuesday for co-operation of organized labor in the fight to change such condi- tions for aged people. He drew a sharp contrast between pension leg- islation in Canada and New Zea- jand and charged that politics en- tered into the Canadian scene to the detriment of aged ciitzens. The council warmly applauded his speech, President E. W. Jamic— son Stating that labor was behind the suggestions made.

Greater Vancouver is within $82 of its quota, receiying $4.25 from its Chinese Committee. ‘Northern BC, with its quota of $300, is just ing: Quesnel, $23.50; Prince George Russian farmers, $7.

Surrey Committee in Southern BC stubbornly ploughs ahead to its $160 objective by reaching $141.08. The addition of $1 from Websters Corners, $5 from Oyama, and $4.50 from Salmon Arm brings Southern BE to $327.68. Vancouver Island’s goal is $300, but barely $190 has been reached. Wanaimo sent in $3.50, to total $63.70; Sointula, $7.20; Cumberland stands at $70. The sum of $18.01 keeps Ol’ Bill from his prized three-figure total. An admirer from Flagstone ad- vanced him $5 and there were two donations of $1. The grand total for BC now stands at $2546, and the drive committee feels confi- dent of another $336, leaving the possible uncertain remaining sum of $118. Extra last minute efforts must account for this contingency. The committee feels that those lagging will respond and ensure a victor- ious conclusion in the few remain- ing May days.

The program will feature 7 to 8 bouts between the Olympic club boys and members of various clubs which have trimmed them in past two months or so. The big show comes off on Fri- day, May 20, 8:30 pm, at the Olym- pic Recreations in North Vancou- ver. Olympic stars in the mass ven- detta will be clever Bob Hickie, who will swap leather with the Aries club’s Gordie Purser.

A hardball team has already been formed and won its first game by an overall total of 15 runs, in- dicating the extent of the train- ing afforded to club members. The club, which has increased its membership by 300 since its amalgamation with the Victoria Drive Community Association in February, has sent out invitations to ten other such clubs to be pres- ent at the meeting. Davis Cup Players Protest To Nazis DUBLIN.—Irish Davis Cup play- ers joined other world sportsmen last week in a mighty protest against the Nazi authorities arrest of Baron Gottfried von Cramm, son for his arrest is the anti-Nazi German tennis ace. Von Cramm was arrested on a “morals” charge, which is scoffed at by sportsmen the world over, various bodies stating that the charge is false and the real rea- son for his arrest is the anti-Nazi viewpoint of the tennis star. Nazi spokesmen stated that the 26 protests received from all quar- ters of the globe would be ignored. BERLIN.—Baron Gottfried von Cramm, Germany’s top-ranking tennis star, through counsel on Thursday lodged an appeal against the sentence of a year in prison imposed on him.

Dear Sirs: There has been much prattling about tourist trade with- in the sacred precinets of your chambers and evidently you boys have overlooked one thing that will really bring cash to this venerable city—that is several real honest-to- gosh high class professional prize fights. I have seen letters to a local boy from pugilistic bigshots like Tiger Jack Fox and Lou Nova, Galif’s current heavyweight champ, want- ing to fight in Vancouver. Also “will-come-anytime” is Pete De Grasse, protege of George Raft and Tom Brown of the fillums, who stayed ten with Henry Armstrong, and also the famous Hank him- self. Think, gentlemen, what such at- tractions will mean. Why, it was only two years ago that Vancouver was considered the best fight town on the coast and it wouldn’t take that long toe bring it back. The idea of this note is to please see that the boxing; “commish,”’ now in an RIP state, wakes up and does something about it. In closing, gents, let me say that a good fight town will draw more tourist trade than twenty colored fountains. Think it over... . = * * = * Loeal history’s best last laugh is being guffawed by Qne-punch Joe Ashenbrenner, who packs a widow- maker in .each duke and wasn’t considered worth the fare to the "Peg by the very outfit that he helped build. Joe hopped a mani- fest freight to the "Peg trials and copped off the middleweight cham- pionship of ‘Canada just like that, leaving the star hopefuls who were considered meritorious, high and dry to come back without. I'll bet a hat there won’t be any Mayor or band to welcome the boys, neither. Remember the ebasket- ballers’ homecoming? Joe figures to turn pro now and want’s Nicka- son first.... * * Club Notes...

Tarzan, handsome he-man from Quebec and built like one of John Bull’s pet destroyers tore into Lambchuck like a hungry man into a steak but couldn’t throw the Singing Ukrainian until near the end of the 45-minute limit. This hadn't lasted ten minutes however, before Johnny slammed on his pet octupus hold and pinned the Frenchman to make it a draw. The show-stealing bout goes to. Wild Joker Art Lamphries and blonde Fritz Schmidt. These little gents have met many times before but have never turned in such a fast performance. : The Joker pinned Schmidt but not without a lot of trouble. Eiddie Bolton and Scotty Jackson drew in a fast mill that lasted through three five-minute rounds, as did Billy Masson and “Tiger Robinson. The crowd howled for an extra round on the latter. On the boxing half of the card, Toughy Thomas, club matchmaker, drew with Clyde Cantrel, red-head- ed flash from the Victoria Road Recreations in one of the best bouts ever staged at the VSC. Jimmy Cowan, VSG, pounded out a 3-round TKO over Tommy Hicks. Hicks was down for nine in the second. Vie Butler refereed the wrestling and Al Ford the boxing. Presentation Made To Clare Jordan A farewell party in honor of its instructor, Miss Clare Jordan, was given by Windermere Women’s Gym Class this week at the close of the gym season and a presenta- tion was made for her splendid work in the community. Present at the party was J. Math- eson, chief instructor for the YVan- ecouver Educational Department, who expressed satisfaction at the healthy developments in Winder- mere, making special mention of the tireless efforts of Mrs. C. Le- sire in organizing the class. He made an appeal to the men, urging them to redouble their efforts in promoting gymnastics and become equal to the women in efficiency. Walker Wins Walk Marathon With a blisterine pace that dis- couraged all competition, Charles Walker won his second ii-mile walking marathon around Stanley Park Wednesday. He shook off his stiffest competitor, Steve Wood- ward, at the causeway. It was a close finish of two blocks but Margaret Gale, scored her sixth victory in the feature women’s event, taking the lead from Elsie McCartney. Much closer was the win of Walter Mason, who right at the wire gained a couple of feet. Seats 90,000 MOSCOW.—Soviet cities boast sport stadia of which any Amer- ican metropolis might well be proud.

Brown reported willingness on the part of the men to accept the rest of the award, but the hollow- ness of the whole thing due to the objectionable clauses was strongly resented. An an example of this resentment he showed that al- though shareholders, foremen and the office staff insisted on voting, the award was defeated 3 to 1. Brown sharply criticized the mis- leading report carried in last week’s Advocate, and while ad- mitting that it was received by the paper just a few minutes be- fore going to press, he stressed that the union should first have been consulted, maintaining that the union differed entirely with Harold Winch, MILA, who released the report, on the value of the award to the Blubber Bay workers. Enlarging on this point, Brown opined that Winch understanding as he does the evasions and subtlety of the Act, should have been deeply suspicious of the two objectionable clauses. “Apparently, however, Winch now sees the award in a different light,’ Brown stated, ‘because he admitted in a recent letter to the union local that Clause 2 is danger- ous.” The assistance of MILA’s in labor disputes is valuable and wel- comed but it is a dangerous prac- tice to turn the union’s business over to them, he said. The woodworkers’ president did not spare his executive either when he stated: “We should have fought for the right to represent the em- ployees, as the union is the logical body with its strength and experi- ence. Undoubtedly this is the rea- son for the minister of labor’s in- sistence that legitimate unions be excluded in all bargaining.” Prices Guaranteed WELLINGTON, NZ, May 19.— New Zealand’s Labor government, the guaranteed price system suc- cessful in the butter, cheese over- Seas export trade, is extending the system to fruit. 5 MUVEBVVVe er UEsrueBBEsEUEBeEBeestue Piano and Furniture Moving OW MESSENGER & TRANSFER who have been registere for years.” : Interviewing group aftei | of single unemployed at 6 | Cordova, their centre, an A= reporter met with a univer” Bwer: “We've got to eat ; want to work.
