e Selling the PT Dear Reader: The tremendous: boost in sales of our Canada Day edition shows what we could do if more mass sales were organized in cities and towns throughout our province. Special commenda- tion foi good work must go to Victoria, Nanaimo, New West- minster and the West End press club in Vancouver. At the beginning of 1954 press clubs set sub targets for the vear. Now we have reach- ed the halfway mark, and club executives should examine the figures published below and chart plans which will ensure they go over the top. The figures are up to June 21 and do not include sales of the Canada Day edition. Neither are credits for door-to-door and ; street sales included (every 25 papers sold counts as one sub) but a glance at the figures of individual copies sold shows that only a few press clubs have seriously tackled street sales. We need more street salesmen, people who will spend an hour or two each week on the corner, at public meetings, or going from door to door. And also, of course, we have to pick up every renewal as well as sign up new subscribers. A list of old and new renewals ’ has been mailed to all press clubs. Let’s gather them in!

Electric was overwhelmingly rejected de- spite a strong council plea and the active support of all daily newspapers and numerous other big business interests. ' The proposal to sell the present bus site for half its real value again showed how strongly the NPA council is under the influence of the B.C. Electric monopoly. Its rejection by the voters points to the opposition of the citizens to council policy., Support given by the voters to the sewer bylaw which carried with a whopping 79.8 percent, and again the big Hastings East vote for the community centre proved’ that Vancouver citizens want pro- gressive civic policies. The sewer bylaw which was forced on the city council by a powerful move- ment of the residents in South Vancouver, shows how far out of line with the people’s demands present NPA council policies real- ly are. The main setback suffered by the people in the June 23 vote was the Wednesday opening pleb- iscite which carried with a four percent, majority. There can be no doubt that had this vote been taken in December, with the larg- er voters’ list, and with more time to clarify the issue, it would have been overwhelmingly defeated. But even without the additional 40,000 tenants who would vote in December the issue could have been decided in favor of the five day shopping week if voters in the eastern half of the city had ‘turned out as heavily as they did in the west half. The east half, City council jarred © by progressive vote By MAURICE RUSH The main fact which emerges from Vancouver's record - breaking midomi vote June 23 is the sweeping lack of confidence which citizens have in the present Non The two main council recommendations put before voters in the form of by: jlaws were defeated. Sale of the airport for $1,000,000 was turned down. Sale ; which is predominantly working class, voted heavily against Wed- nesday opening. The western half voted for it. Defeat was suf- fered on this vital issue because the percentage of voters was much smaller in the eastern polls than in the west. There is an obiect lesson here for those who want progressive civic policies. The changes need- ed at city hall can never be won until the voters living in the east- ern polls turn out in greater num- bers to vote for what is best for their city. . This fact must be seriously weighed by anti-NPA 'has never been greater than now. forces in connection with the De rcember civic election. ; The campaign by the six-day shopping supporters. was one © outright demagogy. It is to thé shame of some so-called labor le# ers that they joined in this cai» paign to destroy one of the most important social gains won by the people of Vancouver during and after the war.
