Some 275 people attended the @nquet held in Maglio’s restaur- ant where dining, folks songs and ancing were enjoyed by the Many people who had taken part e drive, along with their friends, Rush said the Tribune follows in the tradition of the B.C. Workers News which first saw the light of day in January, 1939. This paper, which declared it would always strive to follow in the path of Lenin, had been continuously succeeded by others leading up to the Tribune today. It was the best possible proof, he said, of the invinci- bility of the ideas of Lenin and the path of Leninism. “The growing support for our paper recognizes the big role we play in this province.

Forty people he said, had turned in more than $6,300. He paid tribute to the more than 100 persons who had turned in from $35 to $50; to the 60 more who had raised between $50 and - — $100. Tom McEwen who recently retired from the editorial post of the Trib, made the presen-: tations to the press builders. The shield for best performance in the province went to the White Rock-Delta Press Club which on a quota of $750,raised $975, an average of $80 per member. Veteran press builders Rita Tanche of White Rock and Bob Towle took the top honors for the province and city respectively. Runners up were Steve Nicky- foruk, Mike Stevens, Lil Stoneman, and Ed Skeeles. Runner up for the club category was the Nanaimo Press Club, with the shield for the best performance in the city going to the Vancouver East Press Club, with Peter McQuire Press Club coming a close second. Other outstanding clubs in the drive were North Vancouver, Victory Square, North Burnaby, Edmonds, and Bill Bennett and Broadway Club. Special tribute was paid to our late comrade, Mike Eagle : Haney, who, before he passe Seaton May 24, had bequeathed $1,000 towards the Tribune drive. Perry Friedman entertained the audience with a number of fine folk songs. Ron Liversedge, Lake Cowichan writes: I just got this week’s issue and with the deepest sorrow and regret I read in a letter from a comrade in Kingsway of the death of a very dear comrade of the Inter- national Brigade, E. J. Mitchell. ‘‘Mitch,’’ as he was called, I always figured as the finest soldier in all the Brigades, quiet, unassuming, never seeking mention or titles, he just went around killing as many fascists as he could. I knew him in the unemployed struggles in Vancouver long before the relief camps were introduced; in the camps, on the Trek, and in Spain, where we served the last year together with Dimitroff on the Levante Front. What I would like to know is why no obituary in the Trib for a fine antifascist? When Tommy Patterson died alone in a stinking _down-town _house- keeping room, I supplied the Trib with a short biography of another wonderful anti-fascist. It was never published. I think the Trib should be more than willing to mention the passing of these fine men. Editor’s note: The PT regrets that we had no knowledge of the death’ of Joe Mitchell when it occurred, and we are pleased to print this letter of tribute from Ron Liversedge. * KK NEED JOBS Francis Marion, Vancouver, writes: As the war in Southeast Asia escalates, many Canadian persons feel a growing antipathy and a desire to ‘‘do something”’ to express their growing disapproval. Within the United States itself, dissent is increas- ing. One form that this takes is in the moral decision made by young men who refuse to parti- cipate in their country’s violent exercises and seek refuge ‘in other countries. Significant numbers of U.S. draft-age war objectors are coming to Canada, many of them to the Greater Van- couver area. Like so many others, they need jobs. Unlike many others, they have neither family, friends or resources. A voluntary employment service has been | established at 628 E. Georgia St.,; phone 253-3021, to try to find jobs for them. Many are highly skilled in trades, etc. Some have university degrees, most are looking for any type of work they can get. This is a tangible way for those persons who would like to do something’ to show _ their support. We would deeply appre- ciate the insertion of the enclosed information .in your paper. : SWEDISH FESTIVAL A Scandinavian Midsummer Festival will be held on Sunday, June 28, in the Swedish Park located at the north end of the Second Narrows bridge in North Vancouver.
