Council; Tilly Garneau,

Friendship,; Nadya Nichoda,
Federation of Russian Cana-
dians; Hannah Polowy, B.C.
AUUG and Nick Alexiewich,
Alberta AUUC, all of whom paid
tribute to the work of the
women’s branch.

Alderman Harry Rankin
proposed a toast, asking the men
to stand while the women
remained seated. Peter Kraw-
chuk, editor of Ukrainian ‘Life
and Word’ and on behalf of the
AUUC-NEC recounted some of
the historic highlights of the
women’s branch. He said that
some of the women present had
taken an active part, (even
before the branch was formed, )

OBITUARY

KARL M. JONNSON

Karl Jonnson, kown to his
many friends as Charlie
Johnson, passed away May 22 in
the Vancouver General Hos-
pital at the age of 72.

Charlie Johnson was a mem-
ber of the original committee
that started the old Lumber-
workers Union in the mid-1920’s
and remained a dedicated union
worker all his life. In 1934 he was
picket captain during the
Lumberworkers strike in Van-
couver, and in the IWA strike in
1936.

Charlie was in the forefront of
the fight for labor rights in B.C.,
and. took part in the Corbin coal
miners strike back in 1935. He
supported progressive causes
all his life, and was a staunch
friend of the Pacific Tribune.

His only known relatives live

in Sweden.

Protests blast

The Vancouver Peace Action
League has sent an appeal to the
French Ambassador in Ottawa
as follows: ‘‘We ask you to
forward to your government our
wish that it cancel the nuclear
test scheduled for June in the
Pacific. Let France help to stop
the arms race and the poisoning
of our atmosphere.”

Peace Action League chair-
man R.P. Legge said that at a
time when it might appear that
limitation of nuclear arms may
be achieved, it seems quite sense-
less for any country to continue
testing nuclear devices, parti-
cularly in the atmosphere. The
global consequences of such
tests are incalcuable; the long
range effects may be felt by
generations yet to come.

The peace group appeals to all
who are concerned to take
similar action and protest to the
French ambassador or directly
to President Pompidou, care of
the Canadian Embassy in Paris.

ELMER PONTIUS, veteran labor ac-
trivist and a member of the
United Steelworkers Union, ran
second in a field of four candi-
dates in the recent Trail civic by-
election. Running with labor
backing, Pontius received a total
of 326 votes on a platform that
called for school and welfare costs
removed from property taxes, low
rental housing and tax relief for
senior citizens, a jobs program
and lower interest rates for civic
projects.

Gawrycki ill

Walter Gawrycki, veteran
supporter of the PT and active
trade unionist, suddenly took
sick Sunday morning and is in
St. Joseph Hospital undergoing
tests to determine the cause of
his illness.

Gawrycki is a veteran of the
Spanish war and is: well-known
for his work among ethnic
groups. The PT joins with his
many friends in wishing him a
speedy recovery.
