Finnish Organization
loses pioneer member

Progressive labor in British
Columbia lost a strong sup-
porter from its ranks in the
recent death of Emil Saari in
his 85th year.

Born in Finland in 1874 Emil
Saari came to Canada at the
turn of the century and lived
in British Columbia most of
the ‘time since, working in the
logging and heavy construc-
tion industry.

A pioneer in the building of
the Finnish Organization of

Canada, Saari played an ac-”

tive part in the building of
the many cultural centres of
the FOC throughout the prov-
ince, and was one of the or-
iginal committee which built
the Clinton Hall.

Even in his last years when
failing health slowed up his
activities, Emil Saari took an
active part in extending cir-
culation and raising funds
for the Finnish- language
paper Vapaus and the Pacific
Tribune.

An activist in the local
Finnish Organization, arri in-
troduced a great deal of pro-
gressive literature, and made
it a point to see to it that such
literature was readily avail-
able to the younger people
around the Finnish Hall. In
the local FOC branch, Emil
Saari, because of his .long
years of devoted service, was
elected an honorary member
by his branch members,
