said. ‘“‘The Tribune is part of the
battle for world peace, progress,
and socialism, and the great
effort of the people to keep the
paper functioning is an integral
part of the battle.”

Circulation manager Ernie
Crist was greeted with loud and
prolonged applause when he
announced the final results of the
drive — a whopping $22,500 (late
returns made it even higher)!

Editor Maurice Rush spoke
warmly of the self-sacrificing
efforts of those who made the
drive such an outstanding
accomplishment. Speaking of
the early days of the Communist
Party, organized 50 years ago 1n
B.C., he said the press builders
were carrying on the traditions
of that day. He introduced one of
the little band who first
organized the Communist Party
in 1921— Julius Stelp, now in his
nineties, who was present at the

Contest winner

Winner of the car in the
Pacific Tribune contest is
Mrs. H. Martin of Nanaimo,
Bic.

_ Rush said the Tribune is the
only weekly labor paper in BC:
which consistently carries on
the anti-monopoly struggle. It is

its purpose to expose the’

activities of monopolies such as
B.C. Tel, the Four Seasons
sellout, the Employers Council,
and the machinations of big busi-
ness interests through the NPA
on city council, the editor said.
Just as the gold miners of
the Cariboo and other working
people stopped annexation by the
United States 100 years ago, so
today the working people had the
task of stopping the modern day
sellout of our country to the U.S.
Some day books will be
written, he said, about the con-
tribution Communists have
made to the struggle of the
working people in B.C. since the
party was organized in 1921. He
gave the names of Julius Stelp,
Bill Bennett (Ol Bill), Slim
(Arthur) Evans, and others.

Excitement reigned when he

introduced the five top press
builders: Peter D’Amico, Bob

_ Towle, Mike Stevens, Steve

Nickyforuk, and Rita Tanche
who between them raised a total
of $3,550!

~ Next came the Vancouver
East Club who raised $2,508 on a
quota of $1,200, to merit the City
Shield. Honorable Mention went
to the Peter McQuire club,
Victory Square, Niilo Makela

- and North Shore.

The Provincial Shield went to
the White Rock-Delta Club who
raised $1,031. on a quota of $800.
Honorable Mention in the prov-
ince went to Powell River,
Nanaimo, Maple Ridge and Port
Alberni.

All in all, there were in this
drive 45 Honor Press Builders
who raised a total of $9,000;
seventy Premier Press Builders
who raised $50 or more, and 100
Press Builders who raised $35 or

- more. Altogether a magnificent

accomplishment, and a total
effort not soon forgotten! |.

Shipyard workers demand
Canadian merchant marine

Shipyard Workers want jobs!
is the theme of a leaflet being dis-
tributed by the Marine Section
of the Communist Party this
week.

Foreign shipping companies
and their Canadian agents do
not want competition in their
gross profiteering, the leaflet
says. ‘‘They have found it
cheaper and more profitable to
do away with our Merchant
Marine, build run-away flag
fleets and to utilize them for the
purpose of evading Canadian

taxes, and:for sub-human
exploitation of unorganized
seamen!

The CPR is a prime example
of this, the C.P. brochure says.

Subsidized by the Canadian
taxpayers, it has built a signifi-
cant fleet of ships in Japan and
England.

‘Not one of these ships flies
the Canadian flag, and not one
Canadian seaman sails on these
ships.”

The construction of a Mer-
chant Marine would necessitate
the development of secondary
industries, eg. a steel mill,
plastics and chemical indus-
tries, electronic and machine
production and others.

The leaflet concludes: Support
the demand for a publicly-owned
Merchant Marine! Raise the
question in your union!

TOP INDIVIDUAL EFFORT. These five top money-raisers are shown
above being honored at the PT victory banquet. Each raised over $600
and ‘between them they raised $3,545. They are left to right, Steve
Nickyforuk, Rita Tanche, Mike Stevens, Bob Towle and Peter D’ Amico
who topped the honor roll turning in $1,002.
