MISS HANNAH BREAKS ICE

TORONTO + Elma Hannah, head of the Communication

Workers of America in Canada,
to be appointed to a Conciliation

Miss Hannah is the union
nominee in a dispute between the
office workers of General Steel
Wares Local 4487 and the.com-
pany. About 100 workers are in-
volved, half of them women.

Saskatchewan Start

Starting her trade union car-
eer in Saskatchewan, Miss Han-
nah was also the first woman to
be appointed to a conciliation
board in that province. She is
the first woman to be Canadian
director of an international union,

Born in a prairie village called
Sintulata near Regina, the CWA
leader first started work with the
government-owned Saskatchewan
Telephone Company. The election
of the CCF government in. 1944

has just become the first woman
Board in Ontario.

encouraged labor organization
and Miss Hannah became secre-
tary-treasurer of the first tele-
phone workers’ organizing com-
mittee in that province.

Good Contract

The committee got a good
union contract with the govern-
ment service, and until recently
Saskatchewan telephone workers
had the highest starting rates in
Canada.

Successful in her- work of or-
ganizing telephone workers, Miss
Hannah got the job of represen-
tative for the Canadian Congress
of Labor in 1947, From this job
|she moved to Toronto in 1951
|when she established headquar-
ters for CWA in Canada and be-

came the first Canadian director.

Today under her direction
TWA has organized telephone
and related workers all the way
from Saskatchewan to northern

Quebec.
Seasoned Traveller

Far-fiung organization requires
Miss Hannah to do a lot of tra-
yelling. She has, just returned
from an educational conference
in Saskatchewan and is soon
leaving for the international con-
vention of thé Communication
Workers in San Francisco.

In addition to having charge
of collective bargaining and or-
ganization for her union, she
supervises its educational pro-
gram, She is on the CWA execu-
tive board and on the executive
council of the Canadian Gongress
of Labor.

KEEP

COOL

By PEG STEWART %

Some people will go on a pic-
nic at the drop of a paper nap-
kin, and others have to be

| bribed, persuaded, or bullied
into it. Picnic-haters are sure
they vont have~anz--funy~aml
they often fix it so nobody else
will either. Leave them home.

If it’s Daddy, and you have to
haye him along, take a folding
chair and a_ portable radio

(borrow one if you must) feed
him well, and leave him alone,
‘as far as possible.

Our family, on the other hand,
are born pienickers. We've pic-
nicked in Alberta, Ontario, and
Quebee, and we can recommend
them all. When we lived in
Montreal, on many a sunny Sun-
day somebody would say, “Let’s
go out for breakfast!” and we’d
toss bacon and eggs and bread
and butter and milk and coffee
into a basket, and take off.

No Frills

We had a special container
where our picnic equipment liv-
ed—a battered old small wooden
suitcase; we never did rise to
those fancy wicker baskets —
beautiful things, but they never
seem equipped for more than
four, and they’re expensive.

Our. contraption held a frying-
pan with a cover, tin plates, plas-
tic cups, dime-store cutlery, a
bread knife and a sharp knife, a
long-handled fork, a big spoon, a
thick pot-holder, and salt and
pepper shakers, And heaven help
anybody who took things out and
didn’t put them back—clean!

That meant we could go on a
“cooking picnic” any time we felt
like it, and fast. Just gathered
up the stuff we were going to eat
anyway, and away we went. We
usually took an extra frying-pan,
because we are addicted to fried
potatoes. If there was time, I cut

Pearson

Sister Margaert_ Slarks of the
W.A., Local 1-217, TWA, made four
visits to the Pearson Hospital in
May distributing to the followin
six patients candy, cigarettes and
copies of B.C, Lumber Worker:

Basil Morgan, Pacific Plywood,
New Westminster.

Warry Cochrane, Jones Lake,

Wallace Cabring, Giroday's.

Ey Berney, Eburne,

them up with onion and carried
them in a big jar. Otherwise, they
could be prepared when we got
there.

We lived near good mushroom

picnics usually included mush-
rooms that we gathered on our
way. I used to take along a big
jar of beaten eggs, with onion or
peppers or corn or bits of ham
mixed in—anything that happen-
ed to be around. Even if we
couldn’t find mushrooms, the
scrambled egg mix was good.
Fancy Mix

I remember one very fancy
pienic at Rawdon in Quebec,
about forty miles from Montreal.
We had a guest, so I fixed pieces
of steak and bacon and onion and
mushroom and tomatoes on skew-
ers, to be broiled over the fire.
After we’d picked half a dozen

we pushed the whole collection
into the big frying-pan and got
down to business. Very good,
too.

Once men take to “cooking
picnics” they’re apt to consider
themselves expert outdoor cooks.
Don't be misled into letting them
lrun things. They can do one
thing at a time, and that’s all—
those fancy chefs you read about

have plenty of people running
around waiting on them.
Our Hero

Giye your hero the job he
wants — the steak if-you’re in
the money, the hamburgers or
hot dogs, or scrambled eggs, or
whatever—but don’t expect him
to do anything else at all. Speak-
ing of hamburgers, get them
ready at home, and pack them be-
tween layers of good strong wax-
ed paper or metal foil. And if
you're the cook, take time off to
eat your share of the first round
before you cook the second. The
family only think they’re starv-
ing to death.

A cheap folding grill is handy

territory In” London; “and our fall |

assorted pieces out of the ashes, |

to cook on, but you can always
balance pans and coffee pots on
rocks, In fact, tea or coffee in a
thermos is fine; unless you have
theories about making it in the
open. But take plenty. The chil-
dren’s milk can go right along
in the bottles.

Relax
Here are a few things to re-
member. First, be careful about
fires, both when they’re going,
and when you think they’re out—
make sure! Second, don’t let it

get you down when everybody
gets dirty—dress for it—and if
filthy hands really bother you,
take a cake of soap and paper
towels. Third—the outing is sup-
posed to be fun for everybody,
including you, so relax!
