Young trade unionist: Why not? BCE Supervisor: You're causing an obstruction. Young trade unionist: And what will you do if I refuse? BCE Supervisor: Ill call the cops. Young ‘rade unionist: What will you charge me with? It’s .a public place. At this point citizens crowd around the young trade un- ionist, demanding “Give me one of those.” One says, “Say, this is pretty good” and tells BCE supervisor, “Leave him alone. He’s doing all right.” BCE supervisor retires in disgust. Survival of the PACIFIC TRIBUNE is the issue at stake in the circulation drive Which opens September 15. Target is 1,000 new subscriptions and renewals. If we achieve this objective the basis will have been laid for increasing the Present eight-page paper to a 12-pager, ‘nd the life of the paper itself will have been ensured for the coming months. _ We are not crying “wolf” when we say, M all seriousness, that failure to go over the top will endanger the existence of the Paper, To assist our readers and supporters in Winning new readers, and renewing old Subscriptions, a special sub rate will be in GREATER VANCOUVER > ok ee 20 Broadway BOE aioe t tee te gee 25 Brent a eee 20 Re ee yee eee 10 See. 25 ei te NS 10 OILS Se ge os ie ec 35 BEING Fons 88 on eee 35 SUAINOTON Ses. ee See Se cee Oe 35 Bensant oe a 25 eee ae 10 SON LVEAGZ Seale sei See aarp hs aeeee 10 STU eR eS ge Oa eecies ee ee ae 10 t Rerinys at pu neg ened Gas eee 35 0c cy SS ee Se ee 15 Victory SOUALe Ree 30 BOEniennt se | Sen er ee 15 BRO a fees wee 10 North Burnaby OR) Melee act eee ee 40 South Buena hy. ct ne 30 North Van Gltvicsts ope 20 North Warn Disthict i062 =e 30 City Miscellaneous __-.------------~ 35 VANCOUVER ISLAND > Been ga Pe 30 meUINbell River. sre. eso 15 0 oh UES fe pee eee 10 PROPOSED SUB DRIVE STARTS SEPTEMBER 15 effect from September 15 until November 1—$3.50 for a one-year sub and $2 for six months. Future of the paper depends on increas- ing its circulation—and ‘that in turn depends upon the individual and collec- tive work done by our supporters and members of press clubs. We publish below proposed press club targets. Some clubs have already approved these quotas (North Burnaby club boosted its original quota by five) and others are now considering them. A concerted effort to renew expiring subs and introduce the paper to new readers should make these quotas attainable.

Since the Chinese placed ninth (men) and sixth (women) in the 1956 international volleyball championships in Paris, it seems that their volleyball players have made consider- able progress. Most interesting is the part of the report describing how the game is sweeping the countryside. In Toishan County, for example: “During the evening rest hours, the beaches and farm- TLIGHT yards of the coastal Toishan County. in Kwangtung* Prev- ince are usually. noisy with volleyball games. The. fisher- men hang up.their wet fish- ing nets on-the trees and begin a game. Peasants sweep their threshing floors and- go in for the same sport. Child- ren emulate their elders and play -with a bamboo pole as net.” : : Toishan is noted as_ the home of some 100,000 Chinese living abroad (total popula- tion is about 700,000). These “Overseas Chinese” who left their poverty-stricken home- land before liberation sent money home to promoie edu- cation and sports, and volley- ball wags introduced into, the region some 30 years ago. “Volleyball - conscious Toi- shan really came into its own after liberation in . 1949, thanks to the government’s ef- forts to promote sports,” says the news dispatch. “Before 1949 there was not a single women’s team and in 1954 only some schools had wom- en’s. teams. Since 1955 the game has begun’to grip the fancy of women peasants, too. “Twelve volleyball associa- tions have been established in the county. They receive monthly subsidies from the county government to suply sports facilities. Toishan now has 1,800 volleyball. teams of which 1,300 are composed en- tirely of peasants. “Toishan volleyballers are powerful attackers with vari- ed tactics. They are especially skilled in a form of surprise smash in which the smash -is made just as the ball is serv- ed over the net—a technique first developed by Chinese volleyballers.” UAW wants contract to ease unemployment By WILLIAM ALLAN WINDSOR—The auto industry’s Big Three, Ford, GM and Chrysler, have offered United Auto Workers a 6-cent an hour raise ‘each year for the next two years. And they want the present contract continued without other major changes, which means the same deal on pensions, cost of living escalators and the like. UAW locals here have dif- ferent ideas. They have told the ‘Corporations’ representa- tives that no agreement can be signed until work stand- ards production rates are settled on the 1959 models. The unions are asking also for a 25 percent cut in work standards to help the. unem- ployed to get back to work. They are asking for a return September 5, 1958 — of the 30-minute paid lunch period, which is also expected to ease unemployment. “We won’t build autos until we get this” said a UAW spokesman. Another UAW demand is for elimination of the 35 cents an hour wage differential be- tween Canadian and U.S. auto workers. Canadian tool and die workers get almost $1 less than their U.S. counterparts. PACIFIC TRIBUNE—PAGE 7
