scene By V. VICTOR KITIMAT KOOKS: Someone in authority in that industrial area came up with a brainwave, the reasons for which there seems to be no explanation; certainly not a logical one, Appearing in rfiost dailies across the three Western Cana- dian provinces in the Help Wanted columns was an ad calling for labourers, At the bottom of the four inch single column para- graph was an NES competition number, An official at Nanaimo’s NES office upon inquiry said the di- rective called for only 20 labour- ers, That is not the amount of men wanted from the Nanaimo district but the total of help wanted from anywhere within the three provinces, To spend that amount of money in advertising for 20 men, there must be a gimmick, * * * DECEMBER DATE: On the -eleventh of December Civic Elec- tions will be held in all B,C, towns and cities, In Nanaimo there are six candidates trying for two Aldermanic seats, Among the six is a progressive, Walter Tickson, | If all the readers of the Tribune in the city were to be certain to vote it would be the additional weight needed to insure his elec- tion to office, The same advice could be taken by readers in Port Alberni where George McKnight is alsoa candi- date for Alderman, In Civic Elections one vote can be very important, It?s time both these cities had a progressive on City Council, * * * DUNCAN DILEMMA: Ata re- cent municipal council meeting Reeve Morton took strong excep- tion to the practice of barring the press at so-called secret meetings, particularly when these meetings are called to discuss the spending of millions of dol- lars of public funds such as the $4 milllon hospital project. Barring the press from meet- ings which concern public funds is done much too frequently ina number of locationson the Island, _ “Pearson’s poem which follows was copied from a sheet pre- sented to N.D.P. pre-election committee rooms, Mike Wants His eereriy.. The crooks and snooks were worried, Old Dief found out the score: They couldn’t bribe the government, Or peddle dope no more, So on information, from South of the 48th Mike set his election for this November 8th, **We will have stable government, Says he, ‘tits what we need, Or we can’t give protection to those who sell the weed, We have resources waiting for thirsty Southern throats, We'll give our water to them for bathing or for boats, We’ll give them fifty million each year, as a gift concession, For after all in Vietnam; they are there for our protection, And when they get in dire straits With commies pouring through Saigon gates, We’ll send our soldiers, well trained and many With a cost to the Yanks of not a penny,”’ ee ‘*For when you have sorority, You give your friends priority: But it causes some uproarity when the government’s in minority, So on November 8th come out and give us that majority, And-we can keep our sorority And give them their priority. And also without minority We'll stop old Dief’s uproarity.”’ VOTE LIBERAL! + Seach bettas ts acne Smacale a cae ae tae i ¥ HAND CARVINGS ¥SOVIET TOYS & DOLLS i & GLOBAL IMPORTS 2643 EAST HASTINGS ST.
