: APRIL-MAY, 1976 ’ é : Solo: An Elder Statesman Of freedom this and freedom that the drooling leftist chat- ters, But freedom for Free Enter- prise is all that really mat- ters; This freedom was ordained by God; upon it rest all others, . For man’s divinest impulse is to over-reach his brothers; ~ And so to this celestial urge we make our offering votive; Behind all human greatness lies the noble Profit Motive. ‘ J Chorus of Bankers, Brokers, Executives and Advertising Men Then hail we now Free Enter- prise, _ Extol and give it praise! Init the world’s salvation lies, _ Without it every freedom dies; - O glorious Free Enterprise — 4 The enterprise that pays! : threat from fools who would : destroy us; Of something called ‘‘Secur- ity” they prate in accents joyous. Security? Its cost alone would drive us to perdition; Besides, it kills initiative and suffocates ambition. Security breaks down the will, the urge that keeps men free, It stifles effort, starves the soul — except in men like me. Solo: The President of the Can- adian Bankers’ Association We face today a dreadful / Chorus: Then hail we now afree Enter- prise, . | Extol and give it praise! ~ While Marsh and Beveridge theorize, THE WESTERN CANADIAN LUMBER WORKER Their deadly, bolshevistic lies Are poisoning Free Enterprise The enterprise that pays. Solo: The President of the Can- adian Chamber of Com- merce At periods when Free Enter- prise may not provide em- ployment We dread the thought of hungry men — it lessens our enjoyment; The government must then step in, with this considera- tion: That any public works pro- posed do not increase taxa- tion. Depressions, after all, my friends, much as we may deplore thems Are acts of God; who ever heard of blaming business for them? Chorus: Then hail we now Free Enter- prise, Extol and give it praise! Of course, when profits shrink in size, To lay men off is only wise; We dearly love Free Enter- prise — But only when it pays. Solo: The President of the Ad- vertising Association Conspirators on every side Free Enterprise have slandered, Forgetting that it’s given us the world’s best living standard; We eat and drink supremely well at Royal York and Rideau, And no one drives more Cadil- lacs or bigger ones than we do. —~ : How blind the socialist who plots this way of life to shatter! Free Enterprise brings wealth to all — at least, to all who matter. Chorus: Then hail we now Free Enter- prise, Extol and give it praise! The working man must recog- nize That, if in want he lives and dies, It’s just his lack of enterprise The enterprise that pays! ; Solo: The President of a Very, Very Large Corporation Free Enterprise does not, of course, mean actual compe- tition, And cutting prices — God forbid! sedition. A “Gentlemen’s Agreement”’ is the best of all devices To stabilize our dividends, our markets, and our prices. For taking risks we’ve little love; we set our whole affec- tion On something like monopoly, with adequate protection. Chorus: Then hail we now Free Enter- prise, Extol and give it praise! In it the world’s salvation lies, Without it every freedom dies; O glorious Free Enterprise, O wonderful Free Enterprise, O marvellous Free Enterprise The enterprise that pays! J.D. KETCHUM CANADIANS BUYING MORE BIG CADILLACS “In the year since the federal conservation drive began, spokesmen for the automakers report, Canadians have bought more gas guzzling big cars than ever before, even though the trend in auto sales over the past decade has been toward smaller vehicles. 5 “At General Motors, public spokesman Boyd Chesney said, sales of the bread-and-butter Chevrolet increased only 5 per- cent while top-of-the-line Cadillacs soared 41.9 per cent. “Ford spokesman Toney Frado noted a similar pattern with a 71 percent:gain for Lin- colns, which start at about $11,000.” POSTAL BOYCOTT ENDS 2 The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has announced its withdrawal of the boycott of the postal code campaign. The union instituted the boycott as a protest against automation without negoti- ation. The CUPW has now suc- ceeded in negotiating protec- tion from automation in its new collective agreement with the Post Office. ‘ GULF GOES ON Publicity concerning donations to political parties does not deter Gulf Oil Canada Ltd. The contributions to the funds of political parties were approved unanimously at a recent board of directors’ meeting, Clarence Shephard, of Toronto, company chairman said last month. “We are prepared to support any legitimate political party in Canada that doesn’t have a stated objective of nationalizing our industry,” he said. The Liberal, Progressive Conservative and Social Credit qualify under this criterion. The New Democratic arty does not. ; changes in federal legislation, Imperial Oil ‘Shell Canada Ltd. and Texaco Canada Ltd. discon- contributions to political parties. - .On Friday, February 20, 1976, a two-day school was held . at the Travelodge in Williams Lake for members of IWA Local 1-424.

FOREST INSTALLS NEW SYSTEM AT MILL Jim Warr, Manager of British Columbia Forest Products Limited’s Victoria Wood Products Division has announced details of two major air pollution abatement pro- jects at the company’s Victoria mill operations. Largest of the installations is a three unit dry scrubber system designed to substan- tially reduce salt emissions and virtually eliminate flyash ~ emissions from the boiler house stack at the company’s Victoria sawmill. The system is to cost in total an estimated $2.4 million and is targeted for completion by fall of 1976. The company will receive a grant of about $800,000 toward costs of the project from the MEMBERS OF THE WILLIAMS LAKE Sub-Local of Local 1. federal government’s Environ- ment Canada under a program established in 1975 to help firms develop new pollution abatement technology. Because the system is new to the sawmilling industry and could be applicable to many operations in B.C., Environ- ment Canada decided to share in the cost of the project. The second installation is a condenser system attached to the veneer dryers in BCFP’s Victoria plywood plant. It has practically eliminated the blue haze which previously was emitted by the three dryers in the plant adjacent to George Road. Installation of this system has just been completed at a cost of approximately $210,000. — ) & 3 i N 2 424 IWA, attending the two-day education seminar February 20-21, at Williams Lake.
