Greet Your Friends

In This Novel Way!

The sale of New Democratic Party Christmas Cards provides a
money-raising project for women’s groups. The cards are all of one
design, a mother with boy, printed in four colours on good quality
white paper. Inside the folder the words, “Season’s Greetings” is
printed in six languages. The design was done by Mr. Harry Kelman
and used on the cover of Canadian Labour, December, 1961.

The cards are sold at $1.00 for a box of ten. They are available
to women’s groups at a cost of 75c a box and thus provide a profit
of 25c a box for local groups.

Distribution of the boxed cards will be made from various points

_ across the country. Orders should be placed with the Director of
Women’s Activities, 301 Metcalfe Street, Ottawa, as soon as possible.

than reduced public spending
is necessary to give the econ-
omy a lift. This should be un-
dertaken immediately by the
financing of federal, provin-
cial and municipal projects
to include hospitals, schools,
university facilities, access
roads and recreational centers
etc. Money should be made
available for such projects at
low interest rates. One mil-
lion houses should be built
through subsidies for people
with low incomes.

The economy should be
geared to full employment,
that workers may have the
income to buy the goods and
services made available
through increased productiv
capacity. :

DISPLACED WORKERS

Immediate and vigorous
measures are necessary to
deal with the increasing dis-
placement of workers by
mechanization and automa-
tic processes. This is imper-
ative in order to remove the
fear About present job secur-
ity.

First on the program should
be adequate planning for the
re-training and re-placement
of workers displaced by ma-
chines. If new jobs are not
provided, better financial pro-
vision must be made for those
out of work.

The savings on labour costs
made possible by automation
must be shared by the em-
ployers with the consumers
and the workers. Measures to
this end are required, for in
no other way can increased
productive capacity be made
to work for the benefit of the
people.

Congress
Explains
Situation

“In view of the widespread pub-
licity given to the reported deci-
sion of the National Convention
of the Civil Service Association
of Canada in Vancouver rejecting
affiliation with the Canadian La-
bour Congress and because of the
apparent confusion which led to
this action, it is necessary, in our
mind, that the facts be set
straight,” Donald MacDonald,
CLC secretary-treasurer, said this
week,

“Obviously, those responsibble
have overlooked the most import-
ant aspect of the issue, namely
that it is only the Executive
Council of the Canadian Labour
Congress that has the power to
grant affiliation to any organiza-
tion. Secondly, before affiliation
of any group would be consid-
ered by the Executive Council,
an application would have to b2
filed with the Canadian Labour
Congress, which in this instance
has never been done.

Finally, following receipt of
such an application, it is consid-
ered by the Executive Council on
its merits, having regard to (a)
the eligibility of the organization
and (b) the desirability of the
requested affiliation from the
point of view of the Congress and
the Canadian labour movement.”

Mr. MacDonald added that “the
only decision the Civil Service
Association of Canada was quali-
fied to make was whether an
application for affiliation would
be submitted to the Canadian

Labour Congress.”
