Earlier. they visited the Wilson and Company’s packing plant in Cedar Rapids and stopped at the Guy Stover dairy farm near Reinbeck. As the bus carried the Soviet farm leaders westward, they were awaited in small towns by groups of Iowans who expressed a warm welcome. ‘ The Cedar Rapids Gazette car- ried an editorial “Hello to the Rus- sians.” The editorial declared: “It is our first belief . . . that the road to a world peace that would mean something can come about only through mutual un- derstanding, can best be achieved through a continuing _ inter- change of ideas on a down-to- earth, over-the-back-fence, per- son-to-person basis.” U.S. labor agrees on name-- AFL and CIO WASHINGTON Officials of the CIO and AFL have solved one of their last major problems toward merging by agree- ing on a name for their newly- united labor organization — “The AFL and CIO.” ( Both AFL President George Meany and CIO President Walter Reuther agreed that all major prob- lems have now been solved.

Civic Workers retort Last week Vancouver City Coun- cil turned down a request from Civic Employees Union, Outside Workers, for free use of a flat deck truck which the union want- ed to use for a float in the August 12 Pacific National Exhibition parade. Some aldermen expressed concern that the union might use the float for “propaganda” pur- poses. Outside Workers’ secretary Jack Phillips hit back hard at council in this week’s issue of the union news bulletin. “We did not request a city truck because we could not afford to rent one,” he told aldermen. “We made the request because we sin- cerely believed the council mem- bers would be pleased to associate themselves with us, in a small way, in our expression of civic pride. Evidently we were wrong. “Our mistake, however, does not excuse council members for acting as-they did. If they were fearful that we might enter a float out of keeping with the spirit of the occasion, why didn’t they post- pone our request and ask us for more details? “Our decision to enter a float is based on civic pride and love of country. «While we welcome U.S. participation in our PNE parade, we believe that more Canadian participation is essential. After all, the name of our city is Van- couver, not Seattle. In short, this parade should, in our” estimation, be éssentially a Vancouver and Canadian parade. “We believe tnat Canadians should participate more energetic- ally in a Canadian parade, and ex- press Canadian themes. “If city council cannot see fit te assist us in our endeavor, why doesn’t it enter a float on behalf of all the citizens of Vancouver? Where is its pride in our city, its faith in our future? Where is eouncil’s Canadian patriotism?” MILDRED Outdoor ADMISSION 50c PUBLIC RALLY AGAINST THE BOMBS ON TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF HIROSHIMA MacLEOD Of Nanaimo, who is well-known for her writings in CCF NEWS will report on the great WORLD ASSEMBLY FOR PEACE Theatre Exhibition Park MONDAY, AUGUST 8 - 8 P.M. @ CONCERT e@ FILM STRIPS @ MESSAGE from JAPAN B.C.
