BY, you fellows in the Queen Char-
lottes, what is going on up there?
We send a respectable looking organizer
up to you (in the person of Nigel Morgan,

International Exec, Board Member
and he comes back looking like the prize
member of the House of David baseball
team.

This gazabo walked into the office
yesterday to get the latest scandal, and
a voice behind three sheafs of oats and
a mound of hay piped out, “Hello, Bull-
cook!”

It turned out to be Morgan, alright,
but believe me, I had to call on help
to open up the hay and see who or
what was behind it.

The old boy was mum on his private
escapades up there. All he would talk
about was the good work done and the
spirit of the boys in the Queen Char-
lottes, Besides being covered up, he was
all “ up” with enthusiasm.

But I am not interested in the or
ganizational engle right now. I want to
find out why the disguise. All you fel-
lows up there know Charlie Valley.
Charlie wrote me a personal letter, which
may give the answer. He says that
Morgan figures if you fellows got your
agreements signed up before Christmas
he can act as Santa Claus. Of course,
black whiskers are hardly the proper
color to be Santa Claus, and Charlie
says, maybe, as Nigel looks more like
Jesus, the boys could get some kind of
a halo for him for the work he did up
there.

Anyway, for God’s sake fellows, get
those agreements signed up and then
we'll take up a collection here to get
our Int. Representative to a barber.

Maybe the agreements are only a dis-
guise. Listen to Charlie Valley. He says
“Capt. John McCuish has gained quite
a lot of social prestige. John took in
one of the United Fishermen’s meetings
at Skidegate village, and the natives
were so impressed with the interest John
took in their union that they are con-
sidering adopting John into the tribe and
making him chief.” And Charlie con-
tinues, “Sam Allcock went wherever
Johrf and Nigel went” (oh, oh!), “Some-
times he sneaked off on his own. He is
hard to figure out but he let slip that
hhe likes the Indian dances and he even
sald the Haida girls had ‘it’ But,”
Charlie said, “he hasn’t found out for
sure whether Sam figures on settling
down on the Queen Charlotets or not.”

Now listen, you fellows, don't go off
the deep end. Maybe I should not have
even made these personal suggestions.
Charlie Valley makes it plain he has no
Proof of anything, but he wants to warn
us of all possibilities, He says: “How-
ever, I can say this to their credit, that
if ever an organization was really put
over, these boys put in plenty of effort
towards realizing that end, and I think
you people down there should sound them
out and see to it that our trio of real
organizers don’t pull out to become part
of the Haidas,”

No, I think Charlie is unnecessarily
alarmed. Nigel hasn’t got over his
honeymoon yet, and between you and I,
fellows, there is plenty of whispering

Camp B-40 Crew
Challenge B-35
Im Boat Fund

From their lofty spot in top place
according to the amount per man con-
tributed to the Boat Fund, emissaries
of the boys at Camp B-40, offer a chal-
lenge to the crew at Camp A-35 (Car-
stairs) to equal or surpass their av-
erage of $3.25 per man.

B40 acknowledges the fact that
A-35, being a new operation, the boys
need time to get steam up, and even

_admit that for the short time they
have been on the job there, A-85 has
done very well, In offering. this chal-
lenge, B-40 warns that the rate of
$8.25 per man is going to climb after
the longer it takes A-35 to reach that
no intention of stopping at that, so
the longer it takes B-40 to reach that
peak, the higher will be the objective
they will have to strive for. How
about it, A-35?

The grand total raised to date is
$2536.90, and since our last issue we
have received from. the crew at Bell
& Campbell’s camp $52.00, Morgan's
$26.25, Doc Gildersleve’s $25.00, K.& W.
$13.00, B-40 $20.00 ,and Soderman’s
$9.00.

Our apologies to our good support-
ers at H. & R. Timber Company for
our mistake in acknowledging the
entire $28.75 as being from the boys
at Clarke's, in our last issue. Don’t
blame the union delegate for that, as
he warned us to hold off until the
collection was completed, but in our
enthusiasm at hearing from the Har-
rison Lake district, we just had to
publish the good news, When the col-
lection is finished out there, we will
publish the correct statement.

New Auxiliary
Local 28 Formed

At the last meeting of the Ladies’ Aux-
iliary, held in the Holden Building on
November 20, Mrs, Pritchett was elected
temporary president, and Mrs. Galbraith
to serve as secretary pro tem.

It was decided to apply to the IWA
Federated Auxiliaries to have the charter
for Local 28 reinstated.

Two committees were elected to visit
the hospitals. As the time is too short
for the newly formed auxiliary to raise
money to provide Christmas hampers for
the woodworkers in hospital, so it was
agreed that the members this year will
assist the District Councli in preparing
and delivering the parcels.

Next meeting of the auxiliary. will be
held at Room 516 Holden Building, 16
East Hastings Street, on Thursday, De-
cember 4, at 8 p.m. and all women rela-
tives of IWA members are invited to
attend.
