The Trade Union Joint Blood Donors committee, formed some time ago to work with the Red Cross Clinic here, has organized mass union donations and’ is co- operating with the Junior Board of trade in a drive to gain the 50,- 000 donors which make up the city’s objective. Already thousands ‘of new blood donors have registered at the 15 down-town street booths set up by the Junior Board of Trade for its special blood banks. Other organizations are issuing urgent appeals to their members to support the drive. “Let Your Blood Do A Front Line Jiob” is the slogan on posters displayed in local aircraft plants by Aeronautical Lodge 756, one of the first unions here to organize its support for the campaign. “Now that the long-awaited in- vasion of Europe has begun, we must intensify every effort to sup- ply the quota of donors needed,” Tom Parkin, Lodge 756 secretary and chairman of the Trade Union Blood Donors Committee, said this week. An appeal to members of all Vancouver Labor - Progressive Party branches to “do your ut- most to fulfil your pledges” has been issued by the LPP City Committee. The LPP is cooperating with the Women’s Volunteer Service in a city-wide canyass worked out on a block-basis, during which every home will be visited. “We must remember that the need will be greater than ever before,” stated LPP City Organ- izer Elgin Ruddell. “In the Ital- ian campaign our troops had +o } Purchase blood from the people of Sicily, because our supply was short.

Ball Scores Use of Fund BURNABY, B.C. — By five short motions, all introduced by Councillor Beamish (CCF), Bur- naby Council this week set aside $243,000 in reserve fund bylaws for waterworks, street improve- ments, sewer construction, hos- pital building and “emergency” use, which cannot now be spent without special permission from Victoria or by a plebiscite. At a time when many Burnaby communities are demanding road service, hospital facilities, essen- tial new water mains, and con- struction of sewers, Councillor Beamish, in moving passage of the bylaws, declared: that “restric- tion is the very purpose of the bylaw so that the money we are not now able to use is held for the future.” Fallacy of this was shown when Councillor Beamish himself an- nounced that another bylaw to es- tablish a reserve fund for ma- chinery, proposed at an earlier council meeting, could not be passed because the money had al- ready been spent. The council at this meeting also approved a capital expenditure of $2,873 wor a new water main on Norland Avenue—to come out of “money the council is not now able to wuse”’—to provide resi- dents with necessary water. Councillor Harry Ball (LPP) who has been the strongest critic of these reserve fund bylaws, was supported by Councillor V. H. Valley loggers and sawmill Lewis. Ball maintained that the end. = 1 ler a Good. . . | Suit or Overcoat : come to the | OLD ESTABLISHED RELIABLE FIRM * REGENT TAILORS : 324 W.

In NO BEAUTIFUL NIGHTS, Grossman has written another un- -forgettable story of a Red Army unit in action, one of thousands like itself, whose courage and devotion is helping to save the world for the sun and stars, for beautiful nights for all humanity. The people in the novel are inhabitants of a village on the road to Gomel and the men of a Red Army regiment garrisoned there. They include the divisional commander trapped in the village Olga who rises to great heights of heroism; Ignatiev whose sweetheart and closest comrade have been killed by the. enemy, and the chief character Bogarev, a scholar who had to meet the test of a world of stern reality and action. This novel gives.a moving insight into the s erings of the men, women and children of the Soviet Union durins*the years of Nazi invasion.
