District Hears Plea
For Comforts’ Fund

Plea for financial aid for the Auxiliaries’ hospital com-
forts was made by Alison Brown, President of the Ladies”
Auxiliary of Local 1-217, IWA, when she reported for the
Ladies’ Conference to the 20th Annual IWA District Con-

vention, February 25th, in the Hotel Georgia.

The report gave a run-down of
the Auxiliaries’ activities for the
year and brought to the attention
of the Convention delegates the
importance of the work the ladies
are doing for the Union.

Community Projects

‘This work includes not only the
weekly hospital visiting, but also
the various ‘community projects
they support such as the March
of Dimes, the Queen Alexander
Solarium, and the Children’s
Hospital.

By these activities, the Ladies
have enhanced the reputation of

“AUXILIARIES HAVE
PROVEN HIGH WORTH”

Importance of the part played by the Ladies’ Auxil-
ijaries in Union affairs, was stressed by District President
Joe Morris when he addressed their Annual District Con-
ference, February 25th, in the Hotel Georgia, Vancouver.

Complimentary Reference

This was quite clear, he point-
ed out, in the Convention pro-
ceedings when the complimentary

DISTRICT PRESIDENT Joe Morris addressing the Ladies’ Auxili-
ary Conference, Feb. 25, in the Hotel Georgia, where he told the
delegates that the Union appreciated the importance of the job the

the Officers’ Report was approved
by the Convention body.

Speaking on the great impor-
tance of the two-fold mission of
the Auxiliaries, he stated in part:

“The Auxiliaries have provided
in many ways, a wholesome so-
cial atmosphere for the members
and their families. Great credit is
due the Auxiliaries for the effi-
cient manner in which they have
helped to promote social func-
tions so eagerly anticipated by
all our people.

I need only refer to the picnics,
the annual Christmas parties, the
many social evenings, in so many
communities. The Union’s mem-
bers and their families were
given the opportunity by you to
share in and benefit by the cor-
dial relations which always sur-
round our Union.

As the women who preside
over the homes of the woodwork-
ers, you know better, than any
others, how important it is that
we should cherish the spirit of
neighborliness and friendliness
within Union circles. -

When you discuss matters re-
lating to the Union among your-
selves and in your homes, you
can stress the vital need of keep-
ing alive the spirit of loyalty to
the Union, and its purposes.

Whatever decision will be made
this year regarding our contract
demands, the decision will be that
of the majority. Onte made, we
must stand shoulder to shoulder
in a common effort to meet our
mutual obligations, established
by such a decision.

. Because the well-being of the
home depends on the well-being
of the Union, I rely upon you to
place the aims of the Union on
the same plane as other ambi-
tions which you have for your
homes and your children.”

the IWA in the communities they
live in and throughout the prov-
ince.

Grave Problem

One grave problem confronting
the Ladies Auxiliary of Local 1-
217, stated President Alison, was
the increasing number of. sick
and injured IWA members being
sent to the hospitals in the Van-

couver area for specialized treat-
ment.

The drain on the Auxiliary’s
funds to provide hospital com-
forts for these patients had
reached the point where the Aux-
iliary had been forced to curtail

all visits except to their own Lo-
cal members.

Conference Plan

During the Conference, a plan
was put forward suggesting that
in the future, where a sick or in-
jured IWA member is confined to
a hospital in a Local Union other
than his own, any money spent
on comforts for him will be re-
imbursed by his Local Union.

This plan will go out to the
individual Local Auxiliaries for
their endorsation.
