LUMBER WORKER CHRISTMAS PARTIES 1-217 9 1-357 [> Santa Visits 4,000 -At “Daddy’s Union” “My Daddy’s Union” opened the Christmas season for IWA families in Vancouver with a memorable party which attracted more than 4,000 IWA parents and children to the Auditorium, Denman Street, Sunday, December 17, where they were royally entertained by Local 1-217, IWA. They sung Christmas carols, saw a colorful Christmas stage show, and watched Santa Claus come down the chimney, to make certain that each child present ‘was given a generous package of toys and candy. Old and young voted the party “the best ever” as they trooped from the large auditorium, which had been pack- ed to the rafters. The 8rd Annual Christmas Party was opened by Local Union President, Lloyd Whalen, who welcomed the young guests, and their mothers, on behalf of the IWA, and assured them of the Union’s interest in their welfare and happiness. His welcoming remarks were ably supplemented by W.A. President, Mrs. Kay Wood. A surprise visitor was Inter- national President J, E. Fadling, who warmly complimented the Local Union on their warm-heart- ed enterprise in promoting such an ambitious project. He stated that the spirit evident on the occasion was the spirit of brotherhood and mutual goodwill which was the greatest asset of the IWA. Talented starlets from the Eve- lyn Ward Dancing School charm- ed the audience with a variety program of song and dance num- bers in which they portrayed “The Chocolate Choo - Choo”, ««Preview of Christmas” and “Santa’s Follies”. Their services were volunteered in aid of the party. Master of Ceremonies was Eddie Hyde, PLIB, and Santa Claus was ably impersonated by Charlie Thomas, IWA.
