Island Film Circuit

The new program scheduled on the Up-Island Industrial
Film Circuit contains material which for its practical as well
as entertaining quality will reward all those who see it. WHEN
DO WE EAT, the feature on the program emphasises the value
of ‘eating wisely and in its outline of proper foods for war
workers it offers many helpful ideas on the selection of bal-
anced menus., Qn the same program is the important new
National Film Board production, PARTNERS IN PRODUC-
TION. This film deals with the birth and development of Labor-
Management Production Committees in Britain and is the first
of a series on this subject to be made. Rounding out this highly
informative program in an attractive manner is the film: en-
titled HAWAII. This is an excellent pre-war film which tells
of the life and of the people in the Islands and pays particular
attention to the sugar and pineapple plantations. It tells a little
of the history, and shows many of the beauty spots. The sched-

Soviet Trade Unionists
Purchase Victory Bonds

MOSCOW, May 9.—(ALN).—Workers throughout the So-
viet Union were urged this week by the All-Union Central
ouncil of Trade Unions to do their part in the newly launched
third government war loan drive. The government has set a
goal of 25,000,000,000 rubles ($5,000,000,000), the biggest loan
in Soviet history. Since the Soviet Union has no private banks,
which, as in the United States and Britain, could absorb huge
blocks of bonds, it must rely upon ®
the workers and farmers for the
bulk of purchases and trade
unions play a leading role in en-
rolling workers’ subscription.

“A subscription to the third

being redeemed at face value.
Prize money is calculated so as
to equal interest at four percent.

state war loan is the. most import-
ant political event in the life of
the Soviet people,” the AUCCTU
appeal declares, “It is a demon-
stration of readiness to assist the
brave Red Army not only through
selfless labor, but also with per-
sonal savings, to smash the Hit-
Jerite bandits more rapidly, to
re-establish the public economy

in regions where the German
occupants temporarily lorded.”
Urging all central, regional,

factoy and local tade union com-
mittees to paticipate actively in
the war loan campaign, the AUC-
CTU statement called upon these
bodies to “explain to the widest
masses of people that the third
state war loan is issued in days
historic for our motherland, in
days of great Red Army victories
that the loan is a contribution to-
wards our approaching final vi
tory over the German fascist i
vaders.” It stressed the necessity
of meeting the government's goal
“in order to clear our Soviet land
of fascist scoundrels, to free the
Soviet people from German slav-
ery, to return freedom and inde-
pendence to the European na-
tions enslaved. by Hitlerite Ger-
many.”

The average subscription need-
ed from each Soviet citizen to
meet the war loan goal is 200
rubles ($40), in either lottery or
interest-bearing bonds, Issued for
a period of 20 years, the third
war loan bonds will expire on
November 1, 1964. Each year two
drawings will be held on lottery
bonds, with prizes ranging from
20 to 20,000 rubles. One-third of
the bonds draw prizes, the rest

drawings, there will be 40 prizes
of 50,000 rubles; 80 of 25,000
rubles; 20 of 10,000 rubles; 400 of
5,000 rubles; 4,000 of 1,000 rubles;
40,000 of 500 rubles and 225,280
of 200 rubles each. Drawings will
begin in 1945. Reports so far re-
ceived on subscriptions for the
opening day of the drive indicate
that the quota will be: over-ful-
filled before the week is out. In
one plant in Leningrad, one hour
after the trade union committee
opened its campaign, 98.5 percent
of the workers had subscribed to
the amount of 137 percent of
their monthly wage.

Halibut Fleet
To Sail Soon

Hope that the tie up of the
Halibut fleet will be settled soon
was expressed by Secretary Wil-
liam Burgess of the Fisherman’s
Union last week. At a special

meeting of the Union the pro-
posals were submitted for the

ending of-the halibut tie up which
are expected to provide a satis-
factory basis for the renewal of
fishing operations.

Responsibility for the present
situation lies with the United
States Office of Price Administra-
tion according to the union which
charged that the tie up was the
result of an announcement of a
two and one half cent per pound
reduction on halibut prices at
Prince Rupert. The OPA’s action
in cutting its own officially an-
nounced 1944 prices led to unex-
pected results. From Alaska to

ton by the vessel owners and the
union the fleet is expected to get
under way in the near future.

ers, brought forward resolutions
that:

1. A protest be sent to the
finance committee condemning
the action of the management of
Hedley Mascot.

2. A protest be sent to the
management of the mine.

“NAZI ACTIONS”

“Hedley Mascot has refused to
help the war effort,” said Mr.
Price. “They have acted in a Nazi
manner. .We ask for payroll de-
ductions for Victory Bonds. We
are not asking for check-off (of
union dues) assistance.”

The theme was taken up by
Harold Pritchett, vice-president,
who said: “The council should go
on record urging Selective Sery-
ice to refuse to send any more
men to this non-essential service
of gold mining. This unpatriotic
employer is acting in a quisling
manner.”

ENDORSE BOYCOTT MOVE
Council then endorsed the reso-
lution of protest to the Selective -
Service; and with it included the

original motions by Mr. Price.

Charles Caron, secretary, Boiler-
makers and Iron Shipbuilders
Union, suggested that the unions
should try to obtain holidays with
pay, without the qualifying period
of 300 days work.
