Auxiliaries in the Officers’ Report placed before the An-
nual District Convention of the Union this week. This
eulogy was underlined by the District President as he
welcomed the ladies gathering to attend their annual
conference, :

The District President said:

“T have a special word of wel-
come for the ladies—the mem-
bers of the Women’s Auxiliaries,
arid the wives and friends of the
delegates. We acknowledge with
grateful appreciation the contri
bution which they have made in
support of the purposes of our
Union, in our homes, among the
sick and handicapped, and dur-
ing the strenuous days of strike
action.” =

The section in the Officers’ Re-
port dealing with the record of
the Auxiliaries stated:

During the year, there has
been a tremendous increase in
the amount of Ladies’ Auxiliaries
and Sub Auxiliaries throughout
the whole District. We point
particularly to the Interior where

new Ladies’ Auxiliaries have
sprung up in the Locals, and

: have done an excellent job in
bolstering the strength of our
picket line and assisting those in

* need. The Auxiliaries also took
the responsibility in most in-
stances in the Interior, in carry-
ing on the Christmas parties for
the children, and generally pro-
viding entertainment for the
strikers and their families.

We would like to thank the
Vancouver Auxiliary, Local 1-
217, for the work they have done
in helping to sort clothes and
bundling them for shipment to!
the strike areas.

would like to express their ap-

being done. i

We hope that every Local

opportunity to set up within it-

they are functioning in their
proper orbit, be of immeasurable
assistance to the Local Unions
and District Council.
