Good old Victoria ts still *~way out in front with 180 subs and $200. Well done! And still going strong. We have indicated the clubs - that are over the top on both counts, and those that are over on one. You want your club to be - over the top by December 24, don’t you? Fine! So here’s how you can do it: Organize a special social for P.A. and make the date of your social your P.A. Day, with the ‘objective of having picked up all the renewals on expiry cards by that date. The idea is that every member will try to get as many subs and “donations as possible to bring to the P.A. Day ‘social; and every member should undertake to get at least one sub or donation. Grandview; club raised 40 subs and $98 through such an affair, so you see it can be done, because it has been done! Organize your _elub into teams for the purpose of putting this over, the team leaders to be responsible for getting their team out to make the best showing. Inner club and inter-club. competition will -gtimulate the whole effort and help you to reach your objective quickly and easily. Grandview West End, and Kitsilano, are already- planning ‘ their P.A. Day affairs, and are each determined to come out on top. So how about it, all you other clubs? Let us know your plans! 'P.A. DANCE . We urge every one to push the sale of P.A. ._ dance tickets and help. to put the dance over with a bang. Stubs and money must be in- this office, Wednesday, December 19, at the latest. And speaking of dance. tickets, here’s a little inspiration: (Bill Hreherchuk, P.A. boosting chair- . man of the East End press committee, was in- jured recently in the shipyards, and is now flat on ‘his back in hospital. Nevertheless, Bill has ‘been able to sell 5° books of dance tickets from his hospital cot, ‘which-all goes to prove that where there’s a will, there’s a way. We take this opportunity of wishing Bill a speedy recovery, and in .the. meantime it .means +. that ten other people have to get busy to take 2 PACIFIC ADVOCATE — PAGE 6 : ‘down.the ways. . his place. We will report on Bills’ performance in a coming issue. We give you, this week, the picture of one of our favorite people, Nor- man Smith, active member of the West End club. Nor- man, in addition to a host of other activities in the labor movement, manages to sell 80 copies of P.A. per week. With a few people like him, our circulation would sky- rocket in no time at all. Good work, Norman .. . the highest bundle salesman for the province! Norman Smith GET CRACKING In conclusion, friends, let. us' really get crack- ‘ing on this P.A. Day idea. We want to be over the top on both counts before two more issues roll off the press. Correspondence has been sent to all points outlining our proposals, and we stand ready to give you our wholehearted cooperation in every way possible. Write or call in and let us knowhow you plan to put your P.A. Day over; -and let us. see the results of our efforts reflected in the mereury running past 100 percent on both thermometers! — These days in which we live and the days ahead are times that will desperately need a fight- ing working-class paper that will give leadership in the struggle ...

Alf. Dewhurst, in delivering the main report, charged the Hart-Maitland Coalition with conspiring with ‘big business’ to create a vast pool of unem- ployment in order to slash wages and undermine working conditions gained during the war years. In substantiating his charges, he pointed out that despite the appeals of Organized Labor and other progressive groups the provin- cial government had done noth- ing whatever to provide jobs during the present reconver- sion crisis. He stated that the LPP would lead the way in fighting for jobs for everyone, veteran and war worker alike, and that it was the responsi- bility of the Provincial Gov- ernment to provide the jobs. if went. upper Island clubs would. overfil Emergency | eighteen were laid ¢ chaired by|time for them to: attended by 35 delegates repre-|to their former h Nigel Morgan, Provincial| ities and groups 4 | Leader brought greetings to the| view to launchin | conference from the provincial| campaign for the — executive of the Party.
