Youth paper campaign Youth aim Progressive young people in Brit- ish Columbia are going to conduct a whirlwind drive during January to raise $2,000 for Champion, Can- ada’s twice-monthly youth paper, and have planned an ambitious pro- gram “to start the New Year right.” Rae Murphy, director of the Champion campaign committee, told the Pacific Tribune this week about some of the preparations. “A Vancouver song group, under the direction of Cyril Friedman will be on the road during January and February,” said Murphy. “Con- certs will be held in Victoria, Lake Cowichan, Port Alberni, Nanaimo, Vancouver, Kamloops and several Fraser Valley points. Eight sing- ers and a guitarist make up the ‘Vancouver Youth Sings’ group, and they specialize in presenting Canadian folk songs. “Supporting the Champion finan- cial campaign are the National Federation of Labor Youth, Fin- nish Youth Organization, Russian Canadian Youth Club, the Ukrain- ian-Canadian Youth Club of Vic- toria and other groups. The Chin- ese Canadian Youth Association has agreed to take part in a huge Champion concert.” One of the organizations giving strong support to the drive is the National Federation of Labor Youth, whose clubs in Vancouver, Victoria, Port Alberni and Notch, Hill have all accepted big financial quotas. Gyn Thomas, 27-year-old provin- cial NFLY leader, explained why his organization is going all out to make the Champion campaign a success: “NFLY is an organization of patriotic-minded young Canadians which fights for new horizons for Canada and has a vision of a socialist future,” he said. “Right now we are battling for jobs and opportunities for youth. Champion exvresses our desires| and introduces our program to thousands of young people. We} want to see the Paper grow and flourish, and aim to win new read- ers in the course of the financial drive.” Thomas has been orice in the progressive youth movement since 1947, when he was one of the leaders of the famous “Chocolate ‘bar strike” which swevt Lower Mainland centres that year. Public and high school students, battling to retain the nickel chocolate bar, picketed stores and staged a “snake parade” on Granville Street. to collect $2000 for Champion “During the month of January our NFLY clubs are planning so- cials and house parties to raise money for Champion,” said Thom- as, “and we will take part in the big birthday celebration for the paper on January 30.” While concentrating on the Champion drive in January, NFLY clubs also have a number of other projects under way. Members have been taking an employment survey, and when the legislature opens a delega- tion will visit Victoria and inter- view MLAs on job opportunities for youth. A brief ‘will be pres- ented to the cabinet. “Our organization is small, but. it is growing,” said Thomas. “Since we opened a Youth Centre at 1238 Commercial Drive last May, it has become a popular recreation centre for youth living in the area, and we have started many new activi- ties. “We hold a weekly public speak- ing class, an art group and song group are functioning, every Fri- day is ‘Teenagers night,’ and Thursday night is set aside for ping pong. We also have Saturday night dances twice a month, and a monthly film showing. “We sponsor a basketball team, the N-Flyers, who are at present tied for first place in a four-team Senior B church league. “Believing in youth action for our needs, we chartered a bus dur- ing the recent civic elections and toured downtown Vancouver in support of Effie Jones, an alder- manic candidate who gave full sup- port to our program for jobs and opportunities for youth. “Our biggest project for 1955 is the holding, in ccoperation with other youth organizations, of a gigantic Festival for a Great- er Canada on July 1, Canada Day. “We also are cooperating with the Youth Friendship League in organizing a B.C. youth delegation to attend the World Youth Festi- val in Warsaw next August.” PARA SLR BEARS RANA RE MAAS LOTUS CONFECTIONERY _ Extends Season's Greetings 445 ABBOTT ST.
