Carnival Queen Gontest to
choose the Carnival Queen of the
Yukon is also being held and
entries for this beautiful girl
contest are coming in from vari-
Gus parts of Canada and Alaska.

The international character of

the carnival and the widespread
interest being shown in the gala
event was deseribed by G. P.
Belanger, business agent for the
All Union Carnival Committee,
in an address to an interested
group of sportsmen and White-
horse citizens recently. Belan-
ger announced that the carnival
will be the largest event ever to
take place in the Yukon, and
that no others sports event held
in Canada ever had such an inter-
national composition.

POPULAR EVENT :

Thousands of people are now
engaged in popularizing the
event from the Aleutian Islands
in the Pacific to Newfoundland
in the Atlantic and from Nor-
man Wells in the North West
Territories to as far south as
Balboa in the Cangl Zone. In al-
most every city, village and ham-
let between these points people

are contributing in one form or

another to its success.
Thousands of pieces of litera-

ture and advertisements about

the carnival are being issued and_

distributed throughout North and
South America. One of the ma-
jor results is expected to be its
contribution to popularizing the
Yukon through the length and
breadth of the Americas. This
publicity is rivalling that of the
gold rush of ’98 and of the build-
ing of the Alaska Highway in
acquaintinge hundreds of thous-
ands of people with CGanada’s
North country.

UNION SPONSORED

Particularly unique is the
union sponsorship of the event.
The trade union movement is
comparatively new in the Ter-
ritory and has made considerable
headway recently despite many
difficulties. Side by side with
its growth has come an aware-
ness of its responsibilities as an
important part of public life and
as a vital factor in improving
the economic and social position
of the Yukon and its citizens.
The carnival is seen as a major
contribution to this objective and
a symbol of labor’s new role in
the North.

.G. P. Belanger, carnival busi-
ness agent, is a prominent Yu-
Kon trade unionist and has made
a great contribution to the grow-
th of the trade union movement
there. He was business agent of
the Hotel and Restaurant Hm-
ployees Union until pressure of
carnival work compelled him to
devote full time to the event.
