Here we go!

- Between now and October 1, we want to sell 900
subscriptions to the Pacific Tribune, B.C.’s only labor
weekly. Of those 900 subscriptions, 200 will have to be

‘new subs to people who have never read the Tribune on

a regular basis before.

That’s the goal we're setting for ourselves in this
year’s circulation. drive, and all across the province our
readers and supporters will be out picking up renewals
and selling new subscriptions to friends and work mates.

Never before has the Tribune been so badly needed
by the working people of this province, and never
before have the opportunities for us to so dramatically
increase our circulation existed. With the October 14
National Day of Protest drawing closer with each
passing day, it has become clear that only our paper is in
full support of the labor movement in their historic
undertaking. The Tribune has been the only paper that
has consistently set about trying to build support for
the Day of Protest, and tried to keep its readers up to
date on the full activities planned by the labor
movement for that day.

And, after the Day of Protest, our role will be even
greater as the labor movement charts its future course.

But, in addition to the special activities of our
paper around the National Day of Protest, the Tribune

Keeps our readers. informed._on..other...events ..and..

happenings of special concern to working people, events
which are reported no where else other than in our
pages.

Our regular contributors: Tom McEwen, Bruce
Magnuson, Alf Dewhurst, and Alderman Harry Rankin
will be in our pages each week with highly informative
and often provocative comments as to what is
happening around us. And, we'll be preparing more and
more special features as the year goes on.

All that — and much more, just for $8. OO per year,
the price of a one year subscription.. In today’s crucial’
times, that’s a bargain which should not be passed up by
any working person.

B.C. Communists name delegates

Thirty four delegates, including
activists from the labor
movement, student groups, and
community organizations, were
elected to represent British
Columbia at the 23rd Convention of
the Communist Party of Canada,
scheduled for Toronto’s King
Edward Hotel on October 9, 10 and
11 at a special convention of the
B.C. Communist Party held over
the weekend.

The delegates were elected
following an intensive discussion of
the CPC’s draft policy statement
whichhas been circulated amongst
members of the CPC for the past
two months, and which will be
debated, amended and finally
adopted by the Toronto convention
next month.

Commenting on the delegation,
provincial leader Nigel Morgan
said that the B.C. ‘‘delegates come
from various fields of struggle.

They are “leaders ‘in all~sorts of

H.O. MILLS

A staunch supporter of the
people’s struggle for a better life,
Hosea Owen Mills, of Vancouver,
passed away September 16 in his
96th year.

Born in South Wales on
December 21, 1880, into a mining
family, he came to Canada with
three of his brothers, arriving in
Winnipeg on April 1, 1903. The
Russian Revolution in 1917 had a
profound effect on his thinking and
action. A charter member of the
Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, he later
moved to the Northwest
Territories and then B.C.

An active supporter of the
working class press and the
progressive movement throughout

his life in Canada, he gave un--

stintingly to the struggles of his
fellow workers whether it was to
aid Spain, the unemployed or the
Canadian Labor Defence League in
the ’30s.

He served as a counsellor and
school trustee in Colonsay for some
years. His passing will be mourned
by all who knew him. A memorial
service was held at the Boal Chapel
in North Vancouver on September
18.

The Tribune expresses its
condolences to relatives of the
deceased, and extends its ap-

_ preciation to those who sent con-

tributions to this paper in his
memory: Ivor Mills, Mark and
Maureen Temple and Betty and
John Beeching and Bill and Elsie
Beeching.

mass movements, the labor
movement, civic organizations,
student groups and many, many
other organizations. These people
are all actively involved in fighting
the monopoly policies of the
federal and provincial govern-
ments and they will take their
experiences to our national con-
vention.”’

Morgan also expressed
satisfaction at the fact that the
delegation elected was ‘‘one of the
newer and more_ youthful
delegations that we have had in
many, many years.”’ He said that
the axstezé Bee of the B.C.

delegates was “in the neigh-
bourhood of 40 years” and that 13
of the 34 were under 30 years.

As well, the CP leader said that
22 of the 34 delegates are active
trade unionists, and that 12 of the
delegates are women.

Morgan said that the discussion
during the one day convention
centred around ‘“‘the fightback
against the super profit policies of
monopoly and its governments.”
He said that ‘‘these policies have
aroused the anger of Canadian
‘workers and wesee before us a big,
dramatic change taking place
jamongst the Canadian people.”’
