There is no issue more urgent HE World Council of Peace has world-wide week of solid- arity with the people of Viet- nam from May 23 to the 30. Professor J. D. Bernal, the coun-. cil’s chairman, in his appeal said: “The whole world must know and feel the- scandal, the horror of what America is do- ing to the small, courageous country of Vietnam.” Every working man and wo- man will unreservedly second Professor Bernal’s words. There is no issue confronting the trade union movement at this time that is more urgent than stop- ping U.S. aggression in Vietnam and the Dominican Republic. The U.S. government must be compelled by world opinion to get out of both countries. The peoples of these countries are quite capable of conducting their own affairs and need no assistance from a country that The By WILLIAM REPKA N Component Heating we had a set of strong, self-willed brains figure out a particular job and lay .it out. After that another strong-willed, determin- ed set of brains improved on the layout. This was then followed by another strong, purposeful set of brains that improved on the whole business a bit more. I have always been in favor of brains — especially strong- willed ones. Except that in this case, as a result of all this brainpower, working at five per- cent efficiency, and this strong- willed purposefulness, working at 100 percent efficiency, we got ourselves into a remarkable state. Anyway, the foreman asked issued a call for a KEEPING THAT GIRLISH FIGURE cannot even guarantee the vote to millions of its Negro citizens. Canada cannot afford to put its stamp of approval on John- son’s mad obsession that all countries of the world can have only such governments as meet with the approval of U.S. im- perialism. If the U.S. would-be world-masters are not stopped, who can tell when Canada’s turn will come to have her na- tional honor and _ sovereignty trampled - underfoot by jack- booted marines? The Canadian government must be made to speak and act decisively for an: end to Ame- rican aggression. To this end it behooves every patriotic Cana- dian to act. There is no action too small to undertake; no ac- tion too big to contemplate. The Vancouver Labor Council has once again shown by its actions that it understands what has to be done at this decisive moment of history. It has wired the Canadian government that the United Nations be given full authority to deal with the Domi- nican crisis. It has urged all \ / sorter-outer - me to work on this job, and it is quite straightforward.. There are the good water heaters that are bulk packed, ‘and there are the good water heaters that packed. Then, there are the bad water heaters that are bulk packed, and the bad water heaters that -are individually packed. The basic difference between a good water heater and a bad one is its flange. The large flange makes a bad water heat- er, and the small flange makes a good one. : However, if one of the screws is missing on a good water heat- er, this makes it a slightly bad one and it has to be set aside. Then, if a flange is cracked are individually Mrs. John McLean, 98, touches her toes several times a day. “It keeps me supple,” says this resident of a nursing home near Stratford, Ontario. on, a good water heater, it makes it a bad one. There are a few additional _ Slight variations by which a good heater can become a bad one. There is now even some talk that under a special set of cir- cumstances, some of the very ’ good bad ones could become a special kind of good ones... if you are still with me. The tough part of the job is to be perfectly clear as to where the good ones go — and stay — or not stay. The very same ap- plies to the bad ones — as you can plainly see. However, periodically, I run into a flange resistor-type water heater that is a real beauty — and I don’t know where the hell it goes. So yelp me. Uulp! Alp! Excuse me! It’s when I go like this that I throw up my hands. I drop everything and go and get a drink of water. Otherwise, the job is, as I said, quite straightforward. — And then, periodically, I sit back and marvel at some of the achievements of company brains. —From the UE Voice of the Worker. . Spring cleaning tip Up to your elbows in spring housecleaning? Here’s how you can do a better job of washing the walls. Use a mild-soap. or commer- cial cleaner. Have one bucket for the cleaning solution, another for clean water for rinsing, and large sponges for both. Wash your walls from the bottom up. This is the secret to success. If you start at the top, you may drip scrub water down over the soiled area. This will cause streaks. But if you drip into a clean area, it can be easi- ly wiped off. : Wash only as much as you can reach. Then rinse immedi- ately. In washing the next area, overlap the first one. - Do the ceilings last. affiliates, individual trade union- ists and their wives to write to Prime Minister Pearson to call for a halt to U.S. aggression in Vietnam and the Dominican Re- public. Surely, all labor councils across Canada can take similar action. The president of the United Electrical Workers has wired the prime minister condemning U.S. aggression. The president of the Canadian Labor Congress has called for a casefire and negotiations in Vietnam. Surely, all trade union leaders can take a similar stand. Two hundred and forty Ha- milton unionists affixed their Signatures to an advertisement which they placed in the Hamil- ton Spectator calling for an end to the war in Vietnam. Surely, unionists in every city and town in Canada can un- dertake similar projects. . ‘Council and urge evety i.
