| Five By Five Some time ago we brought to the attention of our press com- mittees the emergency situation which exists with our P.A. At that time we made proposals with regard to the raising of a sustaiming fund which would maintain the paper until the drive in March, as well as proposals to boost i We are therefor mailing material and proposals again this week to the outside points and make the following proposed quotas for the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley to be reached by January 31.

Swing 30.00 15 Ol Bill 15 New Westminster and Valley 150.00 55 Meanwhile, the campaign we announced for one thousand subs by the end of January has brought in 178 subs to date, so you can see that by organized effort plus follow up on the five by five plus determination of everyone to get at least one sub we can easily reach this objective. The important factor is time. Already some committees have grasped the urgency of the | situation and have immediately turned in part of their finan- cial quota. In this regard we commend West End $45.00, South Hill $12.00, Grandview $50.00 and North Vancouver $100.00. - let us hear from you immediately, Vancouver and Fraser Valley committees. Incidentally, we have not yet heard from all _ of those who were named in our column on the campaign for 1000 subs by the end of January. So let’s hear from you, too. Now for Five by Five. Some who have joined since last ac- counting: Jim Smith, V. Brkich, EHburne; Margaret McDonald, Bill Turner and more five by five names from our own Lena lhipsey. We are delighted also to report that the entire executive of Kitsilano LPP club have joined the five by five club and are embarking on a real campaign to boost P.A. They have placed kena Lipsey as their press chairman, and that means results or we don’t know Lena. _ Kitsilano is out to get those 50 subs by January 31 and also that $150, and challenges all comers to beat them to it. On the industrial front, Hd. Cinits, team leader, reports three subs follow up on five by five distribution, and Pat Roberts, who was one of the first members of the five by five reports five all new and all for one year. Adolph Pothorn also reports about six as well as Fred McNeil. We would certainly like to hear from all the Vancouver clubs in this connection. W-e will be calling a meeting of all press committees in the ‘near future, so please advise us as to the personnel of your committee. : After the meetings scheduled for this week, we expect every- “body to know all about the financial and circulation plans for PA. and to be able to contact the personnel of all press com- mittees direct. We have some more pictures to be run soon of five by fivers, so will report on their activities at that time. “Next week I am going out of town to visit some of the outside points in connection with P.A., and will report in this column on “activities and results from these as well as first results on quotas “announced today. Until five by five time next week, remember that time is of the essence, and the time to put over P. A. is TODAY. * the subscription list. |mediate steps be taken to Saturday, January 13, 1945 — Page 7 City Council Evades Issue On. Low Rental Housing Demand City Council building committee again evaded action this week on requests of many Vancouver community and labor organizations to support legislation that would clear the way for low-rental housing projects. Faced with numerous letters asking support for such a move through endorsation of the Win- nipeg city council housing reso- lution, which has been before the Vancouver council for many weeks, t he committee, with Alderman H. LL. Corey, its new chairman, presiding, decided to set up a special subcommittee which would study all represen- tations and bring down a report. The aldermen also agreed to a request in the parks committee, by Mayor J. W. Cornett that im- in- vestigate “fa site or sites” suit- able for building projects autho- rized by the voters at the civic elections. Agreement came after ironic remarks by some that, seeing as there .were so many questions about “where the money was coming’ from,” it would, have been better to in- elude some provision for expen- ditures on such sites in the De- eember by-laws. Acknowledging that this had not been done, but with no explanation for the sup- posed oversight, Cornett assured aldermen that the necessary sums would be “found.” Prior to setting up the special subcommittee on housing the aldermen listened to representa- tions on the need of low-cost housing by a delegation which presented a brief from the Van- couver Parent-Teacher Federa- tion. The delegation was headed by Robert Atkinson, chairman of the Federation’s housing com- mittee, and Mrs. €. W. Mellish, junior past president. The brief urged the city coun- eil to include a low-cost heusing scheme in any plans of the Town Planning Commission regarding “rundown residential* areas of Gowntown Vancouver’; to take necessary steps to obtain mate- rials, manpower and funds for early initiation of a low-cost housing project with special at- tention to cooperation of civic authorities in New York on two such projects financed by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company; and that priority be - given to low-cost housing pro- jects of “any and all materials available.’’ Pointing out that the Medera- tion’s interest in low-cost hous- ing arises particularly from con- cern about the effects of poor housing conditions on the devel- opment of children, Mrs. Mel- lish stated that the group is in constant close touch with all types of families and has “over a period of years noticed with regret the bad effects of housing on the children.” These effects, said, ranged from poor grades at school, because of lack she of proper surroundings for home study, to delinquency. In one case a city high school is being Kept open evenings to provide a place for doing homework.
