EVERY GARMENT STRICTLY UNION MADE ——__—— ZF | 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.
