VALLEY VIEWS: Even the put-
rid odor emitting from the pulp
mill stack seems to be less of-
fensive since the resumption of
work at MacMillan’s mills, All
residents of the Albernis are in
a more pleasant mood, the retail
merchants are again smiling for
the customers, the workers en-
tering past the time clock are
greeting each other with acheer-
ful “hello” and the strike is hard-
ly a conversation subject now,
It’s good to be back at work, par-
ticularly when a strike has ended
in favor of the employees.

There is a bit of a joke making
the rounds in the Valley; the pre-
sent is now known as the period
of the de-Clyne, It seems if a
person is paid seventy-five
thousand per year there is no
room for bad decisions that stop
the profits from accumulating for
seven weeks, Seventy-five thous-
and is a small amount compared
to the profits the company lost
during the work stoppage, Even
people in high places must earn

their money,

CAPITAL CITY COMMENT:
Rumour has it there is a large
timber company already lobbying
to have the government legislate
for compulsory arbitration, and
it could come about by order-in-
council, The only deterrent: it
is felt in government circles such
legislation might cause a pro-
vince-wide general strike, and
well it might, There is no prize
given for guessing which timber

company is doing the lobbying,

SOUTH WELLINGTON: Is a

five miles South of Nanaimo and
the residents have not been for-

views and comments

ganization, The villagers can
boast (?) of a Civil Defence build-
ing with a corrugated metal roof,
There is also a janitor employed
who gets asmall wage each month
for his duties,

It could be the building will be
used to house the overflow from
Nanaimo’s Diefenbunker, if and
when the big blast forces the gov-
ernment to leave Victoria, But
even that makes more sense than
the classic in Vancouver's Civil
Defence pamphlet where the pub-
lic is informed to leave the city
before the ALERT if they wishto
avoid being tied-up in the rush of
traffic, The person responsible
for that sagacity should be given
the Canadian Defence Medal;
there is such a medalandit should

COMOX SERVICE PERSON-
NEL believe the extension to the
runway is for thexpress purpose
of allowing Yank Nuclear Bomb-
ers to land and take-off, There is
no way to check this out foritis a
top secret project and to use a
well-worn political cliche, “it is
not in the public interest,” If the
story is true, it is more serious
than the storage of nuclear arms
at Comox,

About the only person to be
pleased would be that mayor, he
still thinks American servicemen
would bolster the local economy,
On the distaff side would be any
South Vietnamese who can tellall
about American economic bol-
stering at the expense of a de-
vastated country and dead citi-
zens,

There was once an American
battle cry, “fifty-four, forty, or
fight”, but we kept the Yanks at
the 49th parallel, Now they have
found a way to sneak across
‘without firing a shot, It’s insidi-
ous, and certain,

Just a reminder

It will be a day worth rememb-
ering: Sunday, July 26,

Because, starting at one
o’clock in Central Park, Burnaby,
the Annual Gala Basket Picnic
gets under way, Long range
weather forecasts assure the
Greater Vancouver Communist
Party. Picnic Committee that the
sun will be out,

Thus all friends of labor will
be able to enjoy the program of
folk songs, sports, prizes, and
ice cream and pop for the kids,
There are many shady trees for

. relaxation, giving you a chance
to meet and talk with your old
friends,

A highlight of the afternoon
will be a blow-by-blow descrip-

Ore. Demos back

COOS BAY, OREGON — Meet-
ing here recently, the Oregon De-
mocratic Party’s post-primary
convention overwhelmingly adop-
ted the key resolutions on peace
and civil rights. The resolutions:

@ Supported the position of Se-
nator Wayne Morse (Democrat,
Ore.) on South Vietnam. He fa-
vors a halt to U.S. interventions.

@ Called upon the Oregon dele-
gation to the Democratic national
convention (August 24 in Atlantic
City) to oppose seating of the Of-
ficial Mississippi delegation, and
to support the seating of the Free-
dom Democratic party.

In moving to unseat the Demo-
cratic bigots at the convention,
the: Oregon parley thus became
the eighth state to throwits weight
behind the newly - established
Free Democratic party and al-
most insured this issue would
have to receive top priority in
Atlantic City.

The summer convention of
Oregon Democrats has gained the
reputation of being the place
where the conservative wing gut-
ted the liberal platform adopted
