to know why there has
been
for

no voting provision made
the servicemen and women
veturning British Columbia
since September 17 and the date
Also, why there

to

has been no similar provision
made for the personnel of the
forces in Europe and the Pa-|
cific.

Our membership has expressed |
strong feelings on this matter.|
as we believe these men and
women, who have served in the)
cause of democracy should there-
by not lose the essential basis of
democracy, through lack of fore-|
sight on the part of the present
government.

We therefore urge that imme-|
diate action be taken on this}

ital question.

Yours truly,
Winifred G. Lang, Secretary.

We would like to get regular
reports from a few more Auxil-

ii because out of fourteen

au. ‘ies in B.C., we get news
from. only three or four each
issue. This page is set aside for
auxiliary news, and quite often
we are shore of material.

If, after each meeting, social
lor other activities, each auxil-
| ixry were to get its Press Com-

mittee to send in a report, with
pictures whenever possible, we
would be <able to use our page
to the best advantage.

Ladies — this is your page;
it is up to each auxiliary to help
keep it interesting and informa-
tive. You send in the material;
we will see that it is printed.

Women Must
[Use Ballot

The highest percentage of
people who did. not vote in the
last election was ‘found among
the low-income housewives —
many of them the wives of
union members.

This is a problem with which
the auxiliaries should dea). For
that is the very group we aux-
iliary members find ourselves
in, and such a situation indi-
cates to us in very concrete
terms’ how necessary it is that
we extend our organization to
include all. the .wives, mothers
and daughters of our union
members so that such a situa~
tion does not again exist. It is
likewise an indication of how
much work our Political Action
Committee have before them.

First of all we must help to
get women on the voters’ list,
Secondly, we must show them
that their vote, if used to elect
progressive men and women to
our respective government
bodies, can be the means of ex-
tending for the benefit of work-
ing people what! progressive
legislation there is already en-
acted; can be the means of
maintaining jobs, of keeping
wages for those jobs at a de-
cent standard, of securing better
lealth and education legislation,
In other words, the proper use
of the vote can mean a better
life for working people.

Our provincial election is just
around the corner and although
the registration of voters is now
closed we can still do a big
job by seeing to it that every
woman on the list goes to the
polls on October 25th.
