vf As the 1982 subscription . drive completes its fifth week, Tribune circulation manager Pat O’Connor (at left, with buttons) tells us that there is some good news and some not-so-good news. In the time-honored tradi- tion, the good news comes first: seven new subscriptions have come in from a sup- porter in the Port Alberni area, setting a record so far this year. Two other readers have garnered three and two new subs respectively. Altogether 32 new subs and 155 renewals have come That’s the not-so-good news. The target this year is 200 New subs and 700 renewals — a target set to reflect the urgent Need for the Tribune to reach as many people as possible in ‘Ms period of government-imposed restraint on peoples Wages and services, and the phony justifications for that Testraint. _ Wethink readers and supporters agree that people need the aNswer to the real causes of the economic tough times. We think everyone has a friend or two (or more) that can use at answer. Help them find it, and see if you can’t match or surpass the Seven new subs gained by our Port Alberni supporter. readers by Dec.17 2 CLEARANCE SALE £7 30%, | off marked prices on all books 40% off all books from Progress Pub., Moscow § Bookstore $ an. 685-5836 : eople’s Co-o Saas FROM USSR VENOK (Garland) Byelorussian Ensemble Song — Music — Dance From the steppes of Byelorussia - to the Bolshoi Theatre’s leading soloists.

Available at Vancouver Ticket Centre Outlets and Co-op Books Arms freeze group | Classified pushing peace vote (Advertising There is a tremendous ‘‘hunger for peace’ on the part of the American people that reflects itself in anything from town meetings to the prestigious Harris poll, leading U.S. disarmament activist Mike Jendrzeczyk told an audience in the Robson Square Centre Saturday. Jendrezeczyk, chairman of the broadly-based nuclear freeze cam- paign south of the border said that in a recent poll 56 percent of the American public indicated they would vote against any congres- sional candidate, irrespective of party affiliation, who advocated increased armament expenditures. Eighty-one percent are for an im- mediate freeze, he said. “Our nuclear freeze proposal constitutes a very serious threat to (U.S. president Ronald) Reagan’s war policies,”’ said Jendrzeczyk at the first public speaking event of United Nations Disarmament Week in Vancouver. The push for nuclear weapons freeze referendums, which is on the ballot in nine American states so far, has ‘‘excited the imagination’”’ of people over the past year and a half since the movement was founded in March, 1981, said the chairman. For example, the freeze resolu- tion passed in 446 New England town meetings, and hundreds more across the United States, he said. The most recent reports show gains for the freeze movement in Alaska, a state with an economy heavily dependent on the military, with the cities of Juneau and An- chorage voting 58 percent and 53 percent for the freeze respectively. In Longmont, Colorado, citizens voted 60 percent in favor. These gains are impressive con- sidering the intense smear cam- MIKE JENDRZECZYK freeze campaign defies Reagan. paign conducted against the move- ment by the Reagan Administra- tion and the most right-wing of the American press. In a recent speech in Columbus, Ohio, the U.S. presi- dent said the freeze campaign was led by ‘‘some who want the weakening of America.”’ And Jendrzeczyk pointed to the “red baiting tactics’’ of a recent ar- ticle in Readers’ Digest, which call- ed the movement’s activities a “KGB campaign.’’ An intense lobby by arms in- terests resulted in a setback for the movement when Congress narrow- ly defeated, 204 to 202, a freeze on nuclear armaments expenditures earlier this year. In response, the nuclear freeze campaign has published the names of all Congressmen, indicating which way they voted — and the public will be made aware of that record when all Congressmen and one-third of the Senate seats come up for election in mid-November, he said. The peace activist also had praise for the “‘highly important’’ protest against Cruise missile testing in northern Alberta. @ Divorce and Family Law RANKIN & COMPANY Barristers & Solicitors 4th Floor, 195 Alexander St., Vancouver, B.C.
