THE BEATEN BASTION: Na-

naimo’s Hudson’s Bay Company:
fort has never been under attack,”

- but an entirely different bastion
has fallen. Local Hotelmen have
again placed the 20 cent beer
glass before the customer. This
time it appears as though it’s
here to stay.

Just five years ago the Nanaimo
Citizen weekly convinced the pub-
lic to boycott the beverage rooms
unless the 10 cent glass was
used to dispense beverages. The
public won out, andthe dime glass
has remained until now, thus giv-
ing the customer 20 percent more

liquid for the same amount of
cash,

And now the last bastion against
a proposed raise to 25 cents per
glass has fallen. It will be only
a matter of time before the hotel-
men ask the Board for the first
raise in price in over 20 years,
A salute is due the CITIZEN;
that paper delayed the inevitable
for five years, :

VALLEY VIEWS: The Unem-
ployment Office has announced
the institution of the new system
tor payment of unemployed bene-
fits to those collecting the dole
in the Albernis. It comes under
U.I.C. Form No. 497 (7-61) which
informs the recipient in no un-
certain terms of the penalties
of misinformation and failure to
‘heed instructions.

Among the many instructions
these important items were pick-
ed, almost at random: “do not
use ditto marks” (”) “affix
proper postage in upper right
hand corner of envelope.” The
9th instruction proves why our
federal members deserve the
$18,000 they are receiving each
year: “if you can’t read have
a witness verify your mark (X)
in the space provided.” Most per-
sons who can’t read are quite
‘puzzled; instruction No. 9 is just
as impossible to read as the
whole form.

views and comments

familiar sound of far-off gunfire,
So far the accident rate is low,
but the battle between the timber
barons and the hunter is being
fought in the usual company
manner. Many slashing fires have
been started just prior to hunting
Season so the companies can
then lock all gates. Only the pri-
veleged few, (company officers),
are permitted beyond the gates,
as though they are not as great
a fire hazard as the layman.

Timber companies do have the
right to stop hunters from using
company roads, fewhunters know
they can walk beyond the gates
without being stopped by anyone,
Timber leases are usually on
Crown Grant land which is the
very essence for which many
of the hunters supposedly fought
during the War. There are deer
aplenty just inside many of the
gates,

UNION NOTE: The United Ap-
peal is off to a flying start. Dr.
Zorking (note title) made amost
touching speech on the necessity
of this year’s extra five thousand
needed from the Nanaimo area.
Which brings to mind just how
necessary this added amount is,

It is one fifth the salary paid
to the Director of United Appeal
for B.C, Rest assured it takes
many volunteers a lot of hours to
collect $25,000.

And this brings a repeat from
this column, if you convince a
neighbor or friend to volunteer
four dollars for a year’s sub-
scription to the TRIBUNE, it will
not be necessary to repeat the
request next year, and it will be
no contribution to a $25,000 sal-
ary.

All the best from theIslanders
to Tom MeEwen on his return to
a well-read column.

CP resumes
broadcasts

Last Sunday, Sept, 13, the Van-
couver Committee of the Com-
munist Party resumed its radio
broadcasts, entitled “Will Stew-

_art’s Vancouver Spotlight,” The
Series will be on CKWX (1130
on the dial) every Sunday at 6:55
p.m, throughout fall, the winter
and spring months, é

Stewart’s openin g broadcast
dealt with Wednesday’s visit to
the Lower Mainland by U.S, Pres-
ident Johnson, _ :

He drew attention to the $19
billion worth of Canadian industry
that is owned by absentee US,
landlords, the infamous Columbia
River grab which Johnson and
Lester Pearson were ostensibly
“celebrating” and the shameless
manoeuvres which led to US,
nuclear arms being stored on
Canadian soil, A firm friendship
cannot be built upon such founda-
tions, Stewart pointed out,

ROBERT KYDD

The Scottish immigrant work-
er, described by Ol’ Bill Bennett
as “the best workingclass news-
paper salesman of his time’,
Robert “Bob” Kydd of Prince
Rupert, passed away on July 28th
in the General Hospital of that
northern city in his 86th year,

For a number of years due to
age and infirmity, Bob Kydd was
a resident in the old folks’ Pio-
neer Home in Rupert, His regular
correspondance with the P,T,
always indicated that while his
body could no longer respond to
the job of “getting around’, his
mind was alert as ever to the
great events shaking the world,
and to him the need of a paper
like the P,T, ever more urgent,

Like Comrade Joe Ivens of Ok-
anagan Mission, old Bob seldom
wrote a letter to the P.T, without
enclosing a two or five dollar
bill out of his meagre pension
to “help along the cause,”

To Comrade Bob Kydd the
Papers and journals which spoke
for peace and socialism were
always prime weapons for the ad-
vancement of that cause, and for

» which this grand old veteran had

sold and distributed such papers
for well over sixty years, in his
native Scotland, and in British
Columbia to which he came 59
years ago.

Bob Kydd is survived by one
Sister in Scotland, The P.T,
salutes the memory of one of
its most devoted pioneer build-
ers,
