“Holding the Line” — thattheme, rem- iniscent of the earlier labor strug- gles in our pro- vince’s and coun- will mark this year’s drive to help Keep the Tribune on top in 1984. With the current round of attacks on workers’ rights and living stand- ards topping the agenda of employ- €rs and a Fraser Institute inspired Provincial government, that theme is the most appropriate. Holding the line also becomes the ex Officio slogan for tenants, welfare recipients, unemployed workers, min- Socred legislation cutting GAIN GREATER VANCOUVER Bill Bennett. 800 Burnaby 5,800 Coquitlam 2,600 Kingsway 7,000 New Westminster 1,800 Nigel Morgan 2,500.

A growing peace movement has been working overtime to hold the line on the deadly spiral of the arms race, whereby the U.S. Reagan administration comes up with new weaponry pushing the world closer ~ to the brink of annihilation, and the federal government shamefully be- comes a partner through allowing testing of the cruise missile and oth- ers, as yet unspecified war machinery in Canada. And we at the Tribune have been striving to hold the line — not only by covering and analysing the events arising from those developments and the struggle against them, but by rec- ognizing that with cutbacks and unemployment affecting many of our readers and supporters, it’s time Here are the targets OKANAGAN Kamloops 900 Penticton 600 Shuswap 750 Vernon 1,300 N. COAST/INTERIOR to hold the line on increases in our ~ financial target. This year, we hold the line at $85,000 — the same figure as the 1 1983 target. Even at that, we’re aware that the figure represents a substantial request for a readership with little or nothing in the way of disposable income. Again, a major commitment is asked of everyone who wants to seek the working class and peace press continue its course. Actually, last year’s “85,000” theme turned out to be somewhat prophetic. In 1983, a crowd approximating and possibly exceeding that number marched for an end to the arms race in the annual Vancouver Walk for Peace. Mass rallies of workers, students and ' citizens affected by the Socred’s notorious July 7 budget came close to approximating that number, and ushered in a new era in Canadian politics with the formation of Operation Solidarity and the Solidarity Coalition. =~ That year also saw success, albeit limited, in more than numbers. Bill 3, the notorious Public Sector Restraint Act, was put on the back-burner in several public sector agreements. The new rental legislation, and the bill abolishing human rights were with- drawn in the face of widespread, solid opposition, The year also saw limited success for the Tribune, when we reached our tar- get with an eleventh- hour: appeal at the annual victory banquet. This year, there is as much a need to con- tinue the “85,000” theme as before. There’s the real threat of new Socred legislation with far-reach- ing negative changes to the Labor Code. And we can expect little that is good in revised tenants” and human rights bills also anticipated shortly. So there’s more than enough rea- sons to “hold the line” the phrase for 1984. In fact, it would be even better to extend the line, pushing for gains in rights and living conditions, and put- ting the Trib financial drive over the top for a successful 1984. — Classified Advertising Correspondence 2,200 hs Creston 400 Fernie 250 Powell River 600 Sunshine Coast 550 Trail 850 VANCOUVER ISLAND a ey ‘ JOIN THE GREA With GLOBE TOURS For any of your travel needs big or small.
