members of the Women’s Auxil-
iary, and many volunteers, busily
supervised the complex arrange-
ments which catered to the rec-
ord-breaking crowd of happy
IWA children. Roy Moore played
the part of Santa Claus with
skill and aplomb.

Program included the presenta-
tion of a film depicting the toy-
land parade, delightful Christmas
carols rendered by the 21 lady
members of the Schubert Singers
and the rollicking orchestral and
vocal numbers of the Fraser
River Boys. Portions of the pro-
gram were recorded for re-broad-
cast over CKNW.

A pleasing feature of the pro-
gram was the appearance of ta-
Iented youngsters who hadj pre-
viously made their debut on the
Amateur Night performances
sponsored by the Local Union at
the Academy Theatre, Malaird-
ville.

Officials and members of the
IWA in New Westminster ex-
pressed themselves as well
pleased with the arrangements
for the party, and the warm ap-
preciation shown by IWA fami-
lies.

Interior
Organization
Booming

IWA organization in the In-
terior has taken on a new lease
of life as an outcome of this
year’s negotiations. This was
the opinion expressed by Dis-
trict Secretary-Treasurer Geo.
Mitchell on return from an ex-
tensive tour, during which he
discussed this year’s contract
settlement with numerous
groups.

A long, list of grievances was
discussed with the crew at Boun-

dary Sawmills, Midway. Organi-
zation in this plant was found to
be making excellent progress,
both in numbers and IWA ac-
tivity. Vigilant ‘policing of the
contract has won the allegiance
of the majority of the crew mem-
bers. f

Stooge Outwitted

The efforts of a company
“stooge” among the employees of
Interior Pole Co., Lumby, failed
dismally, when his false state-
ments were finally exposed by
IWA representatives. He had at-
tempted to persuade the crew to
organize into a company union in
order to secure the “generous”
wage offer of the employer.

When the IWA settlement was
announced, he was a very red-
faced individual, with his fellow-
crew members determined that he
should be dealt with by the Union
in a fitting manner.

_ Nicola Valley

At the Nicola Valley Sawmills,
the visiting IWA officials found
occasion to congratulate Secre-
tary Albert Rowbottom and his
committee members for a job well
done. They were informed that
more new members had been
signed up since announcement of
the settlement than ever before,
and that the IWA was in the
strongest position of its history
in the valley.

Secretary Mitchell reported
that meetings held throughout
the Interior were all well attend-
ed and that everywhere lumber
workers expressed confidence in
the IWA and satisfaction with
the manner in which negotiations
had been conducted this year.

An unwary politician was
caught in an oratorical trap of
his own making when the IWA
audience in the Capitol Thea-
tre, Port Alberni, Sunday, read
a ribald meaning into his words
and rocked the theatre with
their laughter.

As the story goes, the repre-
sentative of the Progressive-
, Conservatives undertook to un-
leash his best political yocabu-
lary in denunciation of the sins

of the Liberal party, both at
Ottawa and Victoria.

He suddenly remembered the
Coalition with the Liberals at
Victoria, whereupon he struck.
an attitude and declaimed, “Of
course we sleep in the same bed
with them at Victoria, but
we're not married to them.”

The ribald wisecracks that
were heard throughout the
audience are not a matter of
public record,
