NOVEL FEATURES
PLEASE VISITORS

Arrangements Committee of
Local 1-217, IWA which, under
the direction of the IWA Inter-
national Officers, executed
plans for the comfort and en-
joyment of visiting delegates
to the International Conven-
tion, was this week congratu-
lated for their amazing versa-
tility in providing noyel enter-
tainment features.

An elaborate stage setting pre-
sented the welcome to the con-
vention delegates, and was dis-
tinctively typical of the lumber
industry. A huge backdrop
in color displayed fir logs rising
toward the audience, indicated
the main projects fostered by the
Union. A totem pole and fir
tree, with American and Cana-
dian flags fluttering in a fan-
ereated breeze provided an addi-
tional dash of color.

A Souvenir Convention Year
Book was also the production of
the Local Committee. This dis-
played the convention program,
fraternal greetings from affiliates
and interesting information re-
garding the Union. It was fi-
nanced by advertisements secured
mainly in the Vancouver area.

Enterprise of Bob Ludwig, Lo-
cal 1-217, secured a bewildering
array of “gimmicks” for the
amusement ‘and comfort of the
delegates in “off hours”. He ne-
gotiated a “headache bar” from
the Alka-Seltzer Co. “just in
case”, and a free tea and coffee
bar from the Blue Ribbon Tea
Co. Numerous souvenirs donated
by local firms were distributed in
novel ways to the visitors.

Convention Headgear

At the press conference the
most unique convention headgear
yet seen in labor circles was un-
veiled with the cooperation of
President Norman MacKenzie,
UBC. This proved to be an un-
conventional imitation of the
scholastic ‘‘mortarboard’’ con-
structed of plywood, with a pine-
cone tassel.

On the same occasion the In-
ternational President and Secre-
tary-Treasurer received minia-
ture casks, of one quart capacity,
presented by Vancouver’s favorite

publicity agent, Leo Sweeney,
President of Sweeney Cooperage
Ltd. °

Prepared for each featured
speaker during the convention
was an exquisitely designed pa-
perweight, with inscribed plaque.
‘These had mounted on a wooden
base, small logs-which held minia-
ture double-bitted axes, “every
well-known detail faithfully
copied.

The many surprise novelties
and events, planned in careful
detail, were hailed by all dele-
gates as creating a most enjoy-
able and relaxing setting for the
more ‘serious business heard on
the convention floor.

Woodworkers

Members of the United Steel-
workers of America, on strike
at the Noranda Mines in Que-
bec, are proving to be first
class woodworkers after being
thrust by the length of the
strike, into the fuel business,
in an effort to keep their wood-
burning members fuelled for
fall and winter.

Union officials say the strike-
impelled move has put the orga-
nization into fueling operations
permanently.

Free Wood

Across the provincial border in
Ontario’s striking Porcupine area,
the union is wood-cutting, too,
but doesn’t expect to stay in the
business for keeps.

In Noranda district, about 500
strikers will get wood free for
the duration of the tie-up.

Co-op Plan
After that, it will be on a co-
operative buying basis’ — the

union’s first move into the co-
operative field in this region.

The plan was stimulated by
two factors.

One is that many householders
here burn that fuel anyway.

The other is that strikers is
Noranda Mines, Ltd., won't have
much money to spend on coal
while the walkout lasts.
