You have taken the paper for years and like it; in fact, you often say, “I wouldn't do without it.” But when your sub ran out last week, or last month, you neglected to send in your renewal. “I'll do it tomorrow,” you said to yourself, then forgot to attend to the matter. Sooner or later, a member of one of our PT press clubs will call on you and pick up your.sub renewal. But that (if you stop to think about it) means a lot of work for some- one. Won’t you spare them the trip by sending in your own renewal TODAY? We appeal to our readers to help us in this manner, be- cause all our press club mem- bers are going to be busy this month, anyway. February has been set aside as “pickup” month for sub renewals, and clubs are being asked to do a collective job of door-knocking to clean up all old sub re- newals. That means a lot of - pavement pounding, and every reader who will take the trouble to mail his or her re- -newal to the office will earn the gratitude of our press workers. This necessary sub-collect- ing task is being tackled in order to clear the decks for our annual financial drive, which begins March 1. Here, also, our readers can help by mailing in their donations, or giving generously when some- one calls on them. : The Pacific Tribune is a people’s paper, and has no big source of revenue from com- mercial advertising. It must depend on the people to ex- tend its circulation .and pro- vide enough funds to keep the presses rolling. And the peo-' ple have never let us down yet. When you have read this copy of PT, why not pass it to a friend? Perhaps he or she will find it interesting, and become a subscriber, too. Or at least a casual reader. It’s well worth a try, don’t you think?’ We'll be keeping a close eye on the mails next week, to see if this appeal produces any results. ; “youth understanding | An appeal to readers: Renew your own sub’ people of all different races and nationalities, religious and political’ beliefs all with one common aim: that this festival will mark ‘one more suffessul step towards world and peace. Young workers from Iraq, China, Germany and Sweden will meet with their counter- parts from Britain, U.S., Soviet ‘Union and other countries. Young artists and sportsmen will show their best abilities and talents will come to the fore. Young Africans and other colonial youth will feel the sincere solidarity of the young generation for their just aspirations and demands for independence and freedom from colonial oppression. Japanese youth will find that the youth of all lands are united in their desire that the hot searing flashes of the Hiroshima A-bomb blast shall never be felt again by the peo- ples of any country. And as a result of all these exchanges of human interest and feelings, ideas and opinions over these 10 wonderful days, these young people will return to their friends and acquaint- ances, to their schools and jobs, more determined then before that they must do all they can to make the earth a better place and more sec- ure planet on which to live. Speaking about planets: “science and youth” will be a most tempting part of the fes.. tival program. “ Yes, with something — for everyone, from a special day for “young girls’ to a “summer festival,” an elaborate student program and sports galore, the festival should resound from all the corners of this globe. To see that the festival be- comes known among Cana- dians and thereby assure a representative delegation from this land of silver birch, to this Vienna youth gathering, Floyd Williston, secretary of the World Federation of Demo- cratic Youth, a few months ago made a national tour under the auspices of the Can- adian WFDY Committee.
