t ; Se ts sy ty Cee A ah ee oD 126 Press Builders Dear Reader: Responding to our appeal last week to speed the tempo of the drive for $18,000, readers and Supporters of the PT sent in more than $2,000 during the past seven days. If this keeps up, we are Sure to reach our target. Never before have we had so Many Press Builders ($25) and Honor Press Builders ($100) at this stage of the campaign. Up to Tuesday this week the figures were: Pressi Builders, 126; Honor Press Builders, 15. _ Five Honor Press Builders are in a neck-and-neck race for top Position. All have turned in more than $150 and less than $5 separ- ates the first from the fifth con- tender. The five are Bill Hreher- chuk, John deWever, Ronnie Le- blane, Frank Politano and Dale Schnee. . Others HPBs are Jack Rockan- del, Lena Lipsey, Harry Mackie- wich, Bill Stewart, Hal Griffin, Rita Whyte, Alec Kucher, Bert \ Whyte and Rhea Dear. North Vancouver readers, in memory of the late C. H. Darwin, have turned in more than $100 in his name, Vancouver press clubs over the top Tuesday are South Burnaby, Grandview and Georgia. Provin- cial press clubs which have gone over their objectives are Sointula, Lang Bay, Cumberland and Steves- ton. : A number of successful socials were held last week and several are scheduled for this weekend. _ Editor Tom McEwen will be guest at a PT banquet in Lake Cowich- an this Sunday, April 18. (See advertising section for list of local _ affairs.) \ While most press clubs are ac- tive in the drive I’m worried about a few clubs which I won’t name this week. Just look at the figures printed below, however, and if your club is among those that haven’t got steam up yet, please do something about it during the next few days. ‘SEvery press club over. the top!” is our aim in this drive. If we all pitch in, I feel sure we'll succeed. Rita Whyte Your support is vital to us noe support to the progressive press in Canada was pledged by delegates attending the fifth national con- vention of the Labor-Progressive party held recently in Toronto. In addition to making individual pledges to sign ue we tihng ie the Pacific Tribune, Canadian ribune, Combat or ion, th ing resolution was unanimously passed: : ews ee “This LPP convention recognizes and salutes the tremendous role the progressive press plays in the battle for Canada the needs of the people against the Made-in-USA sti ad " “The Canadian Tribune, Combat and the Pacific Tri the forefront of this struggle, have launched their ete BS: Fund campaigns to provide the dollars needed intai extend itheir influence. ee alice, “As delegates to the fifth national LPP convention , we pled our full support to these financial campaigns and we call ee our entire party, on all readers and supporters of these news- Papers, to ensure that the goals set shali be won in the nex months of the campaign.” cea Bo) Pacific Tribune thanks the Labor- ive party for its support, which is vital to the success of our drive. We also wish to thank every reader of the paper r—every trade unionist, CCFer, clerk, factory worker, student and teacher—who has sent in a contribution. Typical of the letters we have been receiving in re- sponse to our appeal to readers for donations to the drive is one from a 25-year-old father of two children who sent in $10 from ‘“‘the wife and me” and says “I would like to get my hands on any character who would like to drop atom bombs on little kids like mine anywhere in the world © a a they call ‘the preservation of free enterprise way Another letter from a friend in Nanaimo tells the story of an old age pensioner who gave a dollar to the PT drive. This man is 80 years of age. He wasn’t interested in entering the free contest to win a television set, but, he said, ‘‘I am interested in helping te Pr) Hig dollar represents a great personal sacrifice. If you haven't made your pers al donati please do not delay—do it today.
