~ ANNUAL CONFERENCE IW.

WOMEN’S ARM WINS
PRAISE FROM UNION

The Union’s sincere appreciation for the help given by
the Women’s Auxiliaries during the Interior Strike, was
expressed by IWA International and District Officers
when they addressed the Delegates attending the 3rd
Annual Women’s Auxiliary Conference, February 15-18,

in the Hotel Georgia.
International President A. L.
Hartung, who was the first
speaker introduced, compliment-
ed them on their fine organiza-
tion which appeared to him to be
more active than in the United
States. He warned them, how-
ever, not to rest on their laurels
but to bend every effort to in-
crease their membership.
Welcoming the delegates ‘on

behalf of the District Officers,
Ist Vice-President Bill Gray,
after thanking the ladies for the
part they played in helping to
win the Interior strike, went on
to stress the importance of the
Auxiliaries paying as many visits
as possible to the sick and in-
jured woodworkers in hospital.
The delegates were then enter-

tained by Auxiliary members of
Local 1-217, at a Smorgasbord
dinner, at Henzi’s Grill, followed
later by a musical concert.

A tour of the Canadian White
Pine Co. was arranged by Local
1-217 for the ladies on Wednes-
day.

District Safety Director, John
T. Atkinson, gave a short talk
on Safety to the delegates Thurs-
day morning which was  thor-
oughly enjoyed. He pointed out
the vital-need of safety in the
home, and the importance of the
husband leaving for work with
his mind free of worries.

“Unforgettable
Experience”

The Editor:

I thought you might be inter-
ested in knowing what a great
pleasure it was for my colleagues
from Jaffray and Creston and I
to be at the Convention.

It was for each of us the first
visit to Vancouver, and our first
Convention, which made it doubly
exciting for us. We would like
to express our appreciation to
the District Officers for the en-
tertainment which they arranged
for the delegates.

The smorgasbord at Henri’s
was very enjoyable. The food
was delicious and the musical
program, really delightful. The
evening at the Commodore was
an unforgettable experience for
us and»we had a wonderful time.

I was quite impressed the first
morning of the Convention by the
various races and colors that
made up the delegation. I was
even more impressed at the
Commodore to see all these peo-
ple intermingling so freely, both
on the dance floor and at the
tables,

I was so pleased to have the
opportunity to meet the ~other
delegates to the Women’s Con-
ference and to hear about their

work. I obtained many good
ideas on methods of raising
money, our chief problem, and
also on the various ways an
Auxiliary can work for the good
of their Union and Community.

The Convention sessions were
very interesting and educational.
I was really surprised at the
great variety of subjects which
were discussed. I had no idea
that so much was involved in
Union business. I was also amaz-
ed at the number of delegates
who had the ability and courage
to stand up and express their
views. Many of them were very
able speakers.

I enjoyed the feeling of good
fellowship which seemed to pre-
vail throughout the whole Con-
vention, despite differences of
opinion which were bound to
arise. I realized that we are all
indeed members of one large
family, as President Morris Stat-
ed, in spite of the miles which
Separate the Interior from the
Coast.

I think everyone should have
