Those were 98 year old Julius Stelp, who in spite of his years raised $600; Stan Love, who raised $750 from his fellow seamen and then contributed his labor to help cook the meal for the banquet; Rita Tanche, the Tribune’s former circulation manager and president who in spite of a serious illness this year still rais- ed $1,100; and the Tribune’s peren- nial top money raiser, the 82 year old Mike Stevens, who once again this year topped all others, raising a phenomenal $3,100. Competition among press clubs ~ for the drive shields was the keenest in years, with a score of clubs rating honorable mentions. But when the choice was made, it was no coin- cidence that the two press directors who came forward to receive the shields, Gertie Chernoff of the Campbell River club, and Barney Hanson of the Vancouver East club, were honored themselves for their longstanding, and outstan- ding, performances as press direc- tors. The three winners of the Tribune financial drive contest were: first prize: John Johnson, Vancouver; second prize: Irene Gidora, Van- couver; third prize: William Bangardt, Vancouver. : MISCELLANEOUS 5,540 | SOUTH FRASER Delta 998 Fort Langley 600 600 Surrey 3,200 3,800 White Rock 850 850 EAST ‘FRASER Fraser Valley 565 568 Maple Ridge 1,450 1,512 Mission 485 796 OKANAGAN Kam 749 Notch Hill 150 236 Penticton 300 «638 Vernon y 1,067 VAN.

Union members from Van- couver, Prince Rupert, Tofino and Port Alberni picketed the legislature and later lobbied the Social Credit government and the NDP opposition to press for ac- tion to stop the shutdown of fish processing plants on the B.C. coast. The UFAWU has repeatedly warned of a large scale loss of fishing industry jobs this summer due to the diversion of fresh salmon on to frozen export markets to be processed in foreign countries, mainly Japan. The union has also charged that foreign capital, again mainly Japanese, is behind the rash of new non-union, small processing plants opening along the coast which are taking jobs away from established union plants. June 18 in Vancouver, the union met with new Tory fisheries minister James McGrath to pro- test the federal government’s relaxation in regulations which allow fishing companies almost unlimited exports of unprocessed salmon. McGrath dodged a direct reply to the union with the line that he was too new in his portfolio to suggest major shifts in policy. June 20 in Victoria, the union called on the provincial govern- ment to declare a moratorium on the issuing of any new processing plant licenses, until all existing plants are working to capacity. The union also wanted the govern- ment to join in the demand for a full public disclosure of corporate control of the industry, to reveal the extent of foreign ownership, and for strict controls on the ex- port of unprocessed fish. After marching outside, the UFAWU .: delegation went inside the legislature to hear Prince Rupert NDP MLA Graham Lea question provincial environment minister Rafe Mair, also responsi- ble for fisheries, if he would sup- port controls on the export of un- processed fish and roe herring. Mair hedged the question as well, however, and while acknowledg- ny commitment. Lan the problem, refused to make al /— PROVINCIAL NOTES UFAWU campaign sweeps coast Later, UFAWU members met with Mair and forced an admis- sion that ‘‘a real problem exists.’’ Mair promised the lobby that he would make a public statement on the issue when premier Bennett returned from Ottawa this week. Shoreworkers march in Rupert PRINCE RUPERT — Almost three hundred shoreworkers left their jobs and marched through downtown Prince Rupert June 20 in solidarity with a simultaneous UFAWU demonstration at the legislature in Victoria. ’ Chanting ‘tWe want our jobs,”’ the shoreworkers marched through Prince Rupert and filled the UFAWU Hall UFAWU northern organizer Mike - Darnell state that the ‘‘infusion of Japanese capital is having devastating effects on the work force in Prince Rupert.’’ Darnell estimated that 60 to 70 percent of this season’s sockeye and pink salmon catch will be sent to hear ‘to Japan after being gutted and frozen, with all the secondary steaking, filleting, salting and pickling being done overseas. The solution to the problem, he said, is legislature requiring salmon to be processed in B.C. before being ex- ported. The union had earlier secured the support of Prince Rupert city council for its six point program to stop the export of jobs from the B.C. fish processing industry. tha On the march for jobs . . . more than 200 shoreworker members of the UFAWU marched in Prince Rupert last Wednesday. . Alberni council supports union PORT ALBERNI — Port Alberni city council unanimously endorsed a motion from alderman George McKnight last week to support the campaign of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers union to stop the export of jobs from the B.C. fishing in- dustry. UFAWU Vancouver Island organizer Frank Cox appeared before the council and asked that it endorse the union’s six point program to ‘‘reverse the trend of exporting the processing of fish caught in Canadian waters.’’ Cox asked the Alberni council to follow the lead of Tofino and Prince Rupert city councils by en- dorsing the union’s campaign and writing to the provincial govern- ment asking that it take action. The request almost was denied because the mayor and some aldermen support the construction of a new fish processing plant in downtown Port Alberni. Cox had stressed that no new plants should be licensed until existing plants were operating at full capacity. Alderman George McKnight won unanimous support of the council, however, with a motion putting the council on record as supporting the processing of all fish caught in Canadian waters by Canadian workers whenever possible, and to that extent, sup- ported the UFAWU campaign. The motion was sent to Socred minister Rafe Mair.
