After a long and painful illness, Sid passed away at the age of 56. He migrated to Canada from London, England in 1928, came to B.C. from Ontario in 1932, and joined the Communist Party in 1933. He helped to organize the Relief Camp Worker's Union and participated in the general relief and worker's strike in 1935. He also participated in the ‘‘On to Ottawa Trek’’ which ended in Regina. As a result he was imprisoned in Oakalla a number of times, once for picketing a boat loading scrap iron for Japan, In 1937 he married his wife Hattie. Their son Les, is now studying to become a teacher. During the Second World War, he joined the shipyard worker's union, after which he went in to the TB hospital for five years. On his release from hospital he obtained work with the Municipality of Burnaby and joined the Civic Worker's Union, Local 23. He was first elected shop steward then Trustee (3 years) Vice-President (4 years) when in 1967 he was forced to resign because of ill health. Sid was always a_ staunch supporter of the Pacific Tribune. In the words of the speaker: Harold Pritchett ‘‘Sid Dove led a long and purposeful life but not long enough to see the fulfillment of his fondest dream, a Socialist Canada in a world of peace, a world without war. This is the incompleted legacy he leaves to all of us and we could have no finer bequest”’. —H.P. AMBATIELOS RALLY Trade unionists back Greek freedom fight They are indestructible, Betty and Anthony Ambatielos, Even at the end of a gruelling tour during which they have talked to hundreds of people across Canada, these Greek patriots convey the warmth and strength which has carried them through years of imprisonment and struggle that might well have defeated lesser beings. At the Broadway Labor Temple last Wednesday night. they told the story of the long road that they and their Greek compatriots have travelled in the pasty twenty-odd years. They asked for moral and financial support for those who still languish in Greek prisons, and the audience of some 200 trade unionists responded warmly. In a brief interview the next day, Betty Ambatielos told of some of the more personal aspects of the fight for democracy in Greece. When the reactionaries gained power at the end of the war, her husband Tony, Seamen's Union leader, was imprisoned and sentenced to death. Only world- wide protests saved his life, but he and thousands of others were to remain in prison — in Tony’s case, for 17 years. Betty carried on the fight from her homeland, England, by keeping the plight of the Greek prisoners constantly before the public. She was allowed to visit her husband occasionally, and found that the political prisoners engaged their time in constant study, organizing, discussing. planning. DUNDAS B-A (WALL & DUNDAS ST.)

In actual fact the prisoners were the “free’’ men. and their guards, underpaid. ragged. miserable. were the real prisoners of the oppressive regime. When Tony was finally released in 1966. the struggle went on. but now the fear of a genuine democracy in Greece brought the American CIA and the long arm of NATO into the picture. With their help. the fascist military Junta took over. Tony managed to escape to England. but Betty was arrested to be released only after inter- cession by the British government, Today as the Ambatielos carry the cause of Greek democracy across Europe and Canada, the couple know particular urgency, for amongst those incarcerated in the bleak Greek prisons are their relatives and many friends. Anna and Nicos Ambatielos. Tony's brother and sister-in-law. are still in prison. Betty and Anthony Ambatielos have brought to the Canadian people the truth of the situation in the land which the tourist Canadian people the truth of the situation in the land which the tourist brochures urge us to visit as the “birthplace of democ- racy”. That democracy will return again to their land is in no small measure due to the fact that courageous fighers such as this couple exist. —M.M.
