Terrace Labour Council holds
successful two-day Seminar

By LARRY SLOAT
Local 1-71 IWA

At a dinner, sponsored by
the Terrace-Kitimat and Dis-
trict Labour Council in Ter-
race, B.C., Frank Drea, assist-
ant public relations director
of the United Steelworkers of
America, stated: “Nothing is

more important to the work-
ing people of Canada than na-
tional unity. And the only
way that working people can
play their part in forging na-
tional unity is by labour un-
ion unity.” He said this is why
workers are so proud when
their unions belong to the
mainstream of Canadian la-
bour, the Canadian Labour
Congress. “Those who _ be-
long to the CLC,” he said,
“are practicing the unity so
necessary in Canada today.”

He warned that disrupters
—those who advocate separt-
ism, regionalism, and those
who want to promote disunity

for personal advantage, would

destroy workers unity as a
means of tearing apart Can-
ada. The communists, like
the ones who run the Mine
Mill and Smelter Workers,
and a small number of other
unions, also want to destroy
labour unity.

“There is‘no place in Brit-
ish Columbia or anywhere in
Canada for this element in
the labour movement,” he
said. “This is why my own
union is fighting these people
and why the working people
do not want any part of or-
ganizations that will divide
and conquer rather than uni-
fy them.”

Mr. Drea forecasts that the
complexities of industrial life

will bring many more white
collar workers into the labor
movement. Like the trade
unionists of today, they will
want unions so they will have
a voice in their own economic
and social destiny. He also
emphasized the great role
that unions will play in the
development of the Terrace
area as well as that of north-
western B.C. “We will make
sure that progress is bene-
ficial to all the people and
the progress is not at the ex-
pense of people.”

The dinner was part of the
two-day seminar conducted

by the Terrace-Kitimat La-

bour Council with Joe Miy-

azawa from the International
Woodworkers of America,
Buris Ornsbe from the Unit-
ed Steelworkers of America
and Dan Radford from the
Canadian Labour Congress
teaching courses in public
relations, publicity, stewards
training and parliamentary
procedure.

The courses were held in
the Skeena High School.
Larry Sloat, acting president
of the Terrace-Kitimat & Dis-
trict Labour Council, co-ord-
inated the sessions and was
toastmaster at the dinner in
the Elk’s Hall. A dance fol-
lowed the dinner.

NEW TREE CRUSHER

The Hon. Ray Williston,
Minister of Lands, Forests,
and Water Resources con-
firmed the arrival from Que-
bec of the gigantic 200-ton
Le Tourneau tree crushing
machine to be used for land
clearing experiments in the
Peace River pondage area
later this month.

At the present the machine
is being assembled at Ken-
nedy Siding and will com-
mence operation on or about
November 18.

The machine which is re-
ported to be capable of level-
ling and crushing trees over
40 inches in diameter is sched-
uled to test clear a minimum
of 1200 acres of land in an
area approximately 150 miles
northeast of Prince George.
The land clearing experiments
are part of the engineering
studies related to the prepara-
tion of navigational channels

and other specialized sites in
the flood area.

British Columbia Forest
Service engineers will study
and record the machine’s per-
formance to determine its ef-
fectiveness and its suitability
to B.C. conditions.

DRIVE NOW, PAY LATER

The Illinois State Toll
Highway Commission has in-
augurated an out-of-gas serv-
ice throughout its 187 - mile
turnpike system. The strand-
ed motorist gets two gallons
of gas from one of the toll-
way’s state police cars at no
charge. He receives an
honour envelope to mail to
the commission and is asked
to donate $1 to defray part

of the expense.
