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! “WHAT — HE TRIED T0 SELL YOU @ SUIT THAT DION'T FITE TRY THE HUB, MY BOY, ANO CET YOURS: WITH EASY CREDIT /” Home of Union Made MEN’S WEAR AND FRIENDLY SERVICE 45 EAST HASTINGS MANCOUVER, B.
