By V. VICTOR MALASPINA MALNUTRITION: Nanaimo boasts of having within its limits. one of the Island’s better class hotels, Rates are rather higher than average which is to be expected for this class hotel service, Many conventions from all parts of the continent are held in the spacious ball- room, It could be considered a very successful business venture in all aspects except catering. The catering manager finds it difficult to feed the staff. * * * Following is a directive handed to each staff member on October 12, 1964, “TO ALL STAFF MEMBERS: “Effective immediately, there will not be a special staff menu issued, but the staff meal will be the Busy Man’s Special for that day. There will be no ex- ceptions. The cook on duty will be held responsible for this directive. All staff meals, must be signed for on a special chit and copy of same will be deliv- ered to the manager’s office immediately after each meal. On the days when there is no Busy Man’s- Special the staff meal will be the lowest priced meal on the daily menu, \ Island news, views and comments “In an earlier advice I direc- ted that the hotel would supply to employees tea and coffee only (free) at coffee breaks. I notice that same employees are having juices and milk anytime. This must stop immediately, if they wish beverages other than tea or coffee it must be paid for at retail price by cash, *T also notice that certain employees are serving them- selves, this too must stop im- mediately (you are not doing the house a favor), Ialso advised that those employed in the food de- partment were not to havea meal until they had been at work four hours, I notice this rule has also been broken, but must go into effect immediately. I am holding the head waitress and the cook 20% chef on duty personally re- sponsible for the above orders, and I expect that other staff members will help them carry out their duties, SIGNED BY THE MANAGER”, * * * The nauseousness felt by the employees after reading this drivel was not from something that was chosen from the cheap meals on the menu.

The meeting was called by the Surrey Municipal Reform Com- mittee after it submitted a letter to the School Board in which the committee criticized School Board policies and put forward a number of proposals for lifting the tax load off the taxpayer, In the Committee’s letter it charged that the School, Board could have saved the taxpayer money and avoided a raise in school taxes last year if it had done the following: eliminate or at least drastically cut architects fees; cut down on the amount of landscaping done at schools and doing what had to be done by day labor rather than contract; and by using day labor to build schools instead of contracting them, Classified Advertising At the public meeting spokes- men for the Reform Committee were Harry Ball, secretary and Bob McLaren, chairman, Trust- ees Jim Dingwall and Tony Hat- cher represented the School Board, Ball told the meeting that the solution to the high tax problem lay in “changes to the tax struc- ture between the three levels of government, We must interest people to bring pressure on’the CITY CIVIC UNIONS UNITE Organized for the purpose of co-ordinating collective bargain- ing, five civic unions of the Greater Vancouver area met on October 25 to set up a new Muni- cipal Co-ordinating Conference, This pioneering conference adopted a constitution, elected an executive of four, and held its doors “open to other interested unions in the greater Vancouver area,” As the Union Newsbulletin of Municipal Reform Committee School Board and the council? implement such changes.” — School Board chairma?
