City doorbells ring
for PT sub renewals

_ “Hastings East press builders are leading the city accord-
ing to reports turned in so far on Tuesday’s ‘Renewal Night’
campaign to re-enroll hundreds of old subscribers to the
Pacific Tribune,” Fel Ashton, PT business manager, reported
this week.

“Ten press builders turned out
in that district and signed up ten
subscribers. That's a good night's
work,” she said.

‘Nigel Morgan, chairman of the
Press: Builders’ Committee, went
‘out to Moberley district and per-

Sonally obtained a couple of re-
newals,

that one of them had married .
another subscriber. That’s the
only good reason we've heard of
yet for not renewing.
“Seven canvassers hit the streets
with Hardld Pritchett in Norquay,
and there was a big turnout in
the West End, where Victory
Square came over to lend a hand.
“Apart from the actual number
of subs gained, which we're very
glad to see, ‘Renewal Night’ was
a big success because a lot of
friends have told us that now
they’ve broken the ice they’re all
set to pick up renewals regularly.
Some say that whenever they can’t
get a renewal they'll get a re-
placement in the form of a new
subscriber. That sounds like a
good challenge.

“Maurice Rush led nine press
builders who rang doorbells in
Grandview. Out of five homes
he visited himself he won back
three old readers,

and reports

“There are still several hundred
subs to renew in B.C. before we
start our campaign for new readers
in October.; But with the kind of
spirit shown by those who joined
in ‘Renewal Night’ there’s every

lumber co-op
flourishing —

—GRASSY PLAINS, B.C.

“We want the market value of
our lumber,” was the slogan in 1945

‘when’ the Central Lumbermen’s

Co-op was formed at Grassy Plains
with 8 members and a share capital
of $70. Portable mill operators,
working in districts not found prof-
itable by big operators, were find-
ing their future threatened by the
middleman’s toll. With the ex-
ample of the successful co-op store
before them, they studied facts and
figures on the possibility of organ-
izing a co-op to guard the interests
of the small millowners. Three
years of successful operation have

shown the correctness of the step
and demonstrated the possibilities

‘The Co-op now has 35 members,
each with a vote and a $50 share,
and in accordance with co-op prin-
ciples, its directors are elected at
an annual membership meeting.
The Co-op now has a yard, a planer,
trucks, buildings and office at
Burns Lake, and employs a staff of
22.

So far 7,000,000 feet of lumber
has been sold to other co-ops, large-
ly Canadian. Foreign shipments go
to the Indiana Farm Bureau, which
in turn distributes to other co-ops
south of the line.

The early trials, worries and set-
backs now seem small compared to
the members’ satisfaction at get-
ting higher prices and managing
their own affairs,

Pioneer members pay tribute to
a man who for years has helped
and guided co-ops in northern B.C.
—George Edgar. His devotion in
management laid the
foundations for.a successful co-op.

WFETU sends greetings

—ROME

“Qn the occasion of Labor Day, when the working people
of the U.S. and Canada honor and celebrate labor, the World
Federation of Trade Unions send greeting to all American and
Canadiar: workers, men and women, with a message of friend-
ship and brotherhood from their fellow-werkers the world over,”
Louis Saillant, general secretary of the World Federation of
Trade Unions, declared here in a Labor Day message.

“By the constant raising of moral and material welfare and
living conditions, American and Canadian workers, through the
chanrel of their labor unions, will act as pioneers in every field
of human activity.

“Tiley will also be among the most active of those who work
for a closer friendship and understanding among the peoples of
the world, as a basis for a lasting peace, for which the whole
of mankind is yearning.

“The best wishes of the WFTU go to the American and
Canadian workers in their endeavors to secure social justice
and world peace.”
