Page 2 — Saturday, February 3, 1945 Five By Five The last Gay of January finds P.A. sub list growing fast. We increased by 152 subs this last week, and of these 127 are new readers.. We are still quite a bit short of the 1000 we were shooting at for the month, but if they'll just keep rolling in like this we won’t kick. : Several city committees have done brilliant worl—North Vancouver has more than doubled its quota and Burrard Bast is not far off doubling—guess Burrard wants to prove to us that they didn’t win the trophy in the last drive just by accident! South Hill is just one sub short of double—Swing Shift has climbed to 20 and Ol’ Bill has topped his quota by two—and more coming. Kitsilano has done a good job, too, just five subs short of a quota of 50. West End has 50 percent of a quota of 50. ; : From out of town we have had subs pouring in from all directions, many of the points represented have never had readers of either P.A. or The People, and it is very encouraging to know that our paper is reaching so many new areas. Among the out- of-town points where we have had an especially good response the most notable is Britannia with a fine record of 18 subs since the first of January, and nearly all of them new readers. Rossland has been busy too, and has netted 13 subs, Lumby has 11,; Red hake 10, Duncan 9, Kimberley 6. Sam English of Michel has sent in 6 subs on his personal quota, and Alan Clapp of Grand Forks | has sent 5. : Wames for 5 by 5 are still flocking in, well over a hundred this week, which means that we will have about 600 extra readers this week-end—many of them for the first time. So far com- paratively few of these 5 by 5 contacts have sent in their sub- Seriptions, but we should really harvest these in February. Re- member that your part isn’t finished when you send us the five names and the fifty cents—each donor should be busy contacting the recipients om his or her 5 by 5 list arter two or three papers have been sent. And when you send in a sub which you got through a 5 by 5 contact will you please write “5 by 5” on the top ot the blank, so we will be able to check results here in the office. : The table below is a summary of progress for January among the city and North Vancouver committees. You will note from it that there is still a little over $400 outstanding on the donation list—we would like to be able to report to our circulation manager cf those democratie and progres- Sive organizations already exist- ing and which could be brought together by our work. A Feder= ation based on the closest co- operation with the democratic trade union, farmer, and poli- tical movements of the people. A Federation whose program for- mulated by youth itself in dis- cussion and convention would meet the needs of Canadian youth today. A Federation whose program and activities would project an outlook for a better Canada and a peaceful world.” “The biggest questions facing young people, as they are facing the whole nation, reyolve around two points,” stated Mr. Young. “Will victory in this war bring lasting peace, or is it a prelude to more wars? Can our country provide jobs, better living, oppor- tunity for education and careers to young people? These ques- tions are on the minds of young people wherever they are, wheth- © ~The channel which to our mind could best serve youth in this period in Cana stated Malcolm Young, United Automobile Workers’ Union, in his opening Tepor Chairman of a meeting held recently in Toronto of active youth leaders, : “is a Federa their desks. These are problems on which we need to have a pro- gram. Youth has made its pro: posals im the past, it lacks still the voice to bring them before the attention of government bodies, political parties, com- missions of inquiry. Depart- ments of Reconstruction. The in- escapable conclusion is that Ca- nadian youth needed some na- tional centre for action on our common problems.’ Thus the wheels were’ set in motion for the launching of a new Youth Federation, composed of democratic and progressive- minded clubs for young people from coast to coast, in trade union and farm organizations, independent, recreational, eduéa- tional, cultural, sports and stu- dent clubs, affiliated together on the basis of acceptance of the program of the Federation, and a willingness to take part in any part of its activities. organizing local committees a national conyention.

Federation Taking their cue from the effective legislative work of U.S. labor, executive committee of the B.C. Federation of Labor (CCL) last week decided to conduct a mass labor lobby in the coming session of the provincial legislature, which epens this month in Victoria. Support for organized labor’s legislative program . will be sought from all MILA’s by means of the lobby and a watching brief in the interest of the program will be conducted by Federation officers throughout the session. SMIASS LOBBY Mass rally and conference to The problems raised in th*~ book are customarily summed up—and hushed up—by those vague words “Immorality and sin.” This book treats of immor- ality and sin, sex delinquency, vice, VD, divorce, ‘ liquor, etc., in a unique fashion. Scientifically, ob- means of achieving these pro- grams will be through direct con- tact with the legislators * through the session, and with the united backing of all trade unionists. The executive instruction to the Federation officers who will conduct the watching brief in- eludes a decision to keep the un- ions informed of developments jectively, it sets forth a practical and wholly under- standable and successful solution.
