“Almost by accident the exper-
imenters tried a variety of petro-
latum jelly that has not been
offered to the general public. It
is familiar to most farmers, how-
ever, who buy it under the name
of dark red veterinary petrolat-
um. Chemically, this is similar to
the white vaseline sold in drug-
stores, but its dark color makes
it appear impure, and\ it is gen-
erally used only for horses and
cattle.

“Despite its reddish color the
petrolatum is really a highly puri-
fied product. It is refined from
a special crude oil and is free
from anthracene chemicals, which
often cause skin rashes. Further-
more, the petrolatum does not
contain alkali or acid. To verify
this purity, the experimenters
rubbed it in several nights in
succession. There was never any
sign of irritation,

“Because the petrolatum con-
tains no organic substances, it
cannot go rancid no matter how
long it is stored. Finally

will stay put even if you go in
swimming. The red color shows
only if the petrolatum is applied
thickly, but the coating need not
be heavy.”

RECREATION
Youth hostels
offer holiday

Want to work off your wander-
lust-in an inexpensive and grati-
fying way? Travel, adventure. and
fellowship are more than mere.
daydreams for hundreds of young
people whose ticket to the open
road is their membership in the
Canadian Youth Hostel Associa-
tion.

Part of an international organ-
ization, the movement bars no
one because of age, creed or col-
or, and is non-profit, sustaining
itself mainly through the small
membership fees. This absence of
financial backing is most acute-
ly felt in Canada, where the cause
of hostelling is seriously ham-
pered through lack of funds.

_A hostel is overnight accommo-
dation, usually in farmhouses
spaced about 30 miles apart, and
arranged in loops and networks
throughout the most scenic or
historic sections of the country-
side,

A Canadian hostel accommo-
dates around ten people, in sharp
contrast to England, where grants
from government sources enable
hostelling to take on the sem-
blance of mass migrations, with
room for from 300 to 500 travel-
lers under one roof.

Prospective hostellers can take
their choice of hiking, biking,
canoeing or riding on whatever
route they choose. In winter
there are ski trails. Separate
sleeping quarters are provided for
boys and girls, as well as cooking
(yes, you have to do your own)
facilities.

The first youth hostel in Can-
ada was a tent set up in 1933
by four girls in Calgary, with
an ideal that spread and blos-
somed across the Dominion.
There are six main regional dis-
tricts from which hostel chains
now radiate.” These are designat-
ed as Maritime, St. Lawrence,
Great Lakes, Prairie, Mountain
and Pacific. :

Typical activities of hostellers
who meet at the end of tne day’s
trail at a hostel are group sing-
ing, square dancing, and ex-
changing stories by firelight. So
if the call of the outdoors is
very loud in your ears, get your
membership pass, haversack, ana
we'll be seeing you at the city
limits.

Announce marriages

Two marriages of interest to
the labor movement were an-
nounced in the city this week.

At IWA headquarters here the
union members were extending
their best wishes to Gladys
Shunaman, popular secretary of
IWA Local 1-217 and one of Van-
couver’s few women trade unian
leaders, on her marriage to Har-
old J. Hilland, who has been as-
sociated with the National Fed-
eration of Labor Youth since his
discharge from the army after

two and a half years’ service
overseas. ;
Second marriage announced

was that of Hal Griffin, well-
known writer and longtime labor
editor who is now associate edi-
tor of the Pacific Tribune, to
Betty Dunbar, shop steward for
the Aeronautical Mechanics’
Union at Boeings during the war
years and formerly a _ leading
figure in labor youth circles.

Talking things over

~The daily round |

I WAS thinking the other evening as I sat and relaxed

before the fireplace after tucking

the infants in for the

night, that life must be pretty grim for the thousands of

displaced persons in Europe.

this province finds the proble

If the average housewife in
ms of day-to-day living irk-

some at times, what must it be like for those living in

countries which are struggling to
restore their economies under every
imaginable handicap? The tremen-
dous job of reconstruction and re-
habilitation must appear to be
overpowering and yet it seems
that the people are accomplishing
far more than we are ourselves
with all our real and supposed ad-
vantages by that community of
spirit engendered by the surge of
progressive forces in the majority
of these countries. 3

I was giad to read of a relative-
ly new phase of activity being car-
ried out in Czechoslovakia.
Throughout the country, the week
of June 14-22 was devoted to chil-
dren and was known as ‘The Week
for Children’s Joy.’ It was intend-
ed to arouse general interest in
problems relating to children and
to bring together all those who
work for or with children.

In 1946 a committee was set up
for this work, and now every town
and small village has its local
working. committee. The hub of
all propaganda and planning is the
woman's section at ministry of
information in Prague. Organiza-
tions including ministries, sports
organizations and trade unions are
now supporting this popular meth-
od of making the youngsters feel
they are appreciated and wanted,
which is after all the basic need

sof any child.

HAVE YOU noticed that there
isn’t a can of fruit on the market
these days? My storekeeper says
it is because it is not rationed

now and there will be no more
till at least the fall. This shortage
of canned fruit may not worry
Most of us ‘just now ‘with all the
fresh fruit on the market, but a
few hours spent canning over the

a good investment for the winter
