Hundreds of honor press builders ($175
or more) and press builders ($75 or more)
as well as scores of others helped push the
drive over the top.

In the competition for club awards,
made particularly keen in the last days of
the drive, New Westminster club took the
Lower Mainland, closely followed by
runners-up Burnaby and Richmond clubs.
Nanaimo club took the top honors for the
provincial shield with the Kamloops and
Victoria clubs given honorary mention.

Above all, the work in the drive, carried
out against a setting of high unemploy-
ment, with most people hard-pressed to
make donations, emphasized the vital
need for the paper.

Griffin noted that this year, more than
in previous drives, that many contributors
had emphasized that need in letters sent
along with their donations.

“They’ve told us that at a time when
there is a political offensive on against
working people, against peace, that our
paper is essential as never before,” he said.

At the same time, there seems to be a
turning point, he said, citing the Gainers
strike in Alberta, and the Building Trades
as examples of the desire of working peo-
ple to “take a stand.”

That’s also expressed in the mood for
change, he said, adding that there will be
opportunities this year to make that
change in the political arena, with the
Vancouver civic elections and in the
expected provincial elections.

“We've been part of change in this pro-
vince for 51 years,” he told the crowd.
“And now your support has ensured that
will continue for another year.”
