SEymour 0308 Hotel East ou Mac-Pap Bulletins Province-Wide Entry List Provides Thrills By JEAN CAMERON Secretary, Friends of the MackenziePapineau Battalion ANY organizations have sent in for our prize-drawing tickets and at this early stage all indications point to a successful campansen. The prizes are excel- lent and the bouquets received on that score show that others think so too. The trade unions are getting behind us, spurred on by the support of the Trades and Labor Council. “Curly” ‘Wilson addressed Council last week and the reception by the delegates was just as enthusiastic as ever. As the tickets are only 25 cents each and with but ten to a book, are easily sold. If you haven’t seen them yet get in touch with us at Room 43, Gis West Hastings Street, and we will give you the details. Ss Li organizations interested in the well-being of the veter- ams are asked to send delegates to the meeting being held next Wed- Qur picnic at Seymour Park on July 9 has to be carefully planned as this is to be a real affair, with all the entertainment and fun that can be crowded into one day. We need workers to help on committees to do the planning Se Wes GAWRICEHKI], a Span- ish war vet, is now workins at a logging camp and he didn’t waste much time in taking up a collection for his wounded com- rades. The $47.25 certainly was needed, Walter, and thanks a lot to yourself and your fellow work- ers. e@ ONTRIBUTIONS last week were higher than usual, with a total of $109.84, but our expenses, too, have been high We just man- age to pay our way week by week, with nothing left over, and the next week usually looms up with very little prospects. It’s no easy matter to be responsible for these wounded men, dependent now on the generosity of democratic sym- pathizers, but excellent work has been done, and we are confident that the prizedrawing returns will be sufficient to tide us over for quite a while. So pull hard, everybody. DONATIONS.

Continued BIG BUSINESS The bread eaten by the unemployed, the hose worn by working-class children, the tobacco smoked by the fishermen on the east coast, the pair of overalls bough by a farmer in the drought area of Saskatche— wan—these are taxed 8 percent, But the great corporations are to be granted a reduction in their income tax payments if they put new machinery into their plants. And this new machinery will lay off more men. This is the taxation policy of the Minister of Finance, Mr. Dunning. Boycott Japanese Goods!

Pat Haley won the 100-yard dash, men’s open, in 10 seconds flat. J. Harrison and G. Rolfe were runners up, and in the 220 yards Pat breasted the tape in 22.6 sec- onds to beat G Rolfe and brother Paul. The 880 yards, men-s open, was taken by Vance McComber in 2 mins. 5 4-10 seconds.

Cups and prizes were awarded to the winners by Dorothy Steeves, MLA, and Ald. Helena Gutteridge. Much of the credit for the meet goes to Chairman D. Sullivan, Viece-chairman C€.

Westbrook, enter- tainment; Ronald Macauley, con- cessions; Sam Hay, publicity; Cc. Hi. Brown, transportation, and G. Hope, usher. The large crowd was entertained by Frank Scott’s entertainers with dances, songs and acrobatic stunts. Pro-Recs To Stage Mass Display For Royal Couple Canada’s only gymnastic demonstration during Their Majes- ties’ visit to the Dominion will be staged in VancoVuver’s Hast- ings Park on Monday afternoon, May 29, by the city’s Provincial Pacreanon Centrres in conjunction with the Scottish Societies’ program. While not nearly as bis—numerically speaking—as their great Mass Display in the Forum last month, the “Pro-Recs” outdoor display promises to be a most spectacular affair and is expected to draw several thousand > Military Tattoo at Brockton Point spectators to the Oval where the Sovereigns will spend some ten minutes before proceeding to the orth Shore. No admission will be charsed to the grandstand on this occasion according to Tan Wisen- hardt, “Pro-Rec” director, who ex— plains that the prime idea behind the performance is to afford a com- fortable “waiting place” plus enter— tainment for those who would sooner sit than stand and yet want to be sure of seeing Their Majes- ties. A similar “Pro-Rec” display will be presented by chief instructors Jerry Mathisen and Hilda Keatley at Kitsilano’s Community Day cele- bration on the afternoon and night of Saturday, May 27, while a special men’s gymnastic troupe will augs- ment the First Veteran Battalion’s On May 29 and 30. The new Hotel Vancouver, the Grouse Mountain Chalet, the Uni- versity of BC gymnasium, the Stan- ley Park Pavilion, and the Normal School will provide the official set— tings for the various functions of the Canadian Physical HMducation Association which will hold its Na- tional Convention here, for the first time, between June 19 and 22, in- elusive.
