THE WESTERN CANADIAN LUMBER WORKER

LABOUR TO AID

MILES FOR MILLIONS WALK

Schools for poverty-stricken
villages in Honduras, artificial
limbs for civilian victims of
the Vietnam war, emergency
aid for strife-torn Biafra, a
children’s health clinic in Ko-
rea, tools for farmers in Asia.

These are some of the 25
projects and programs sup-
ported by the 1968 Miles for
Millions Walk in Vancouver.

The Walk, which was held
on May 4 last year, saw 8,500
Vancouverites, the majority of
them students, brave a heavy
rain. and 25 miles of hard
pavement to raise money for
their less-fortunate friends
around the world. The walk-
ers (6,000 completed the full

25-mile course), collected
more than $150,000 from their
sponsors who pledged amounts
ranging from’ five cents to

$10 and more for every mile
walked.

It was a jubilant day for
Vancouver because it showed
that we really do care, and
we are willing to extend our-
selves in an attempt to make
the world a better place to
live.

On Sunday, May 4, 1969,
Vancouver will again don its
walking shoes in what is
hoped will be the largest one-
day fund-raising event in the
city’s history.

EUROPE BACKING BOYCOTT

The California grape boycott is winning support in

Europe, according to the International Confederation of

Free Trade Unions.

Backing the boycott now are agricultural workers in
Great Britain and unions in Denmark, Ireland, Austria,

France and West Germany.

Twenty-four international
development agencies includ-
ing such well-known ones as
CARE, OXFAM, CUSO,
YMCA, UNICEF and the
Canadian Catholic Organiza-
tion for Development and
Peace, have joined forces to
organize the 1969 Miles for
Millions Walk.

The Walk this year will be
basically the same as last
years, the greatest difference
being that this year it will be
held on a Sunday rather than
Saturday.

The route of the Walk will
again start at the Seaforth
Armories at the south end of
the Burrard Bridge, with the
first leg taking the walkers
through Stanley Park.

Churches, trade unions, ser-
vice clubs and other groups
of considerable size and in-
fluence are being invited,
along with the general pub-
lic to join in the Walk, either
as walkers or as sponsors of
walkers.

Further information on the
Walk can be obtained by call-
ing 683-3031.

If you’re still young enough, and still strong enough,

fight for a society which places the needs of people before
the profits of businessmen . . . then join with us and help
build an independent, social and economic democracy
in Canada.
