ance of control.

SUBSIDIZED LOW RENTAL Housing, however, should also be part of your demands, because next March, or the March follow- ing, ordinary working folks will still not be able to find accommo- dation they need at a price they can afford.

THE UNEMPLOYMENT Commission, back in 1934, (the depression years), asked for a Royal Commission on housing in Canada. The report of that com- mission found a backlog in hous- ing for 10 years, and recom, mended that a low rental subsid- ized housing scheme be set up to take care of the housing of the people and to provide work in lumber, -building, plumbing, and other allied needs for home con- struction.

THE GOVERNMENT DID nothing with its own Commis- sion’s recommendations, though the matter was raised year after year in the House of Commons by the CCF,

IN 1937-88, GREATER VAN~ couver was offered $1% millions for a housing plan, to be backed by the Provincial Government. Only Alderman Helena Gutter- idge, herself a trade-unionist, supported the plan. The city and the province turned it down flat and the money went back into Consolidated Revenue.

IN 1944, A DELEGATION from many organizations, went to Victoria asking for a provincial plan for low rental housing. They were promised consideration, and that’s all they got. No men—no material.

NOW WE ARE FIFTEEN years behind our 1934 needs. We have increased our population by natural means, (births) and by immigration, till the people are desperate for homes. Old houses have been taken over for busi- ness locations, others have fallen into disuse, very few have been put up to rent at prices ordinary workers can pay.

MORE SICK

Maulroon, Sechelt — Hit by choker,

Harry Stor, Courtenay — Spinal operation,

Lucien Baril, Copper Canyon, No. 1 Camp—Broken elbow, dislo- cated shoulder.

A. Hamachet, Jervis Inlet — Broken legs.

T. Coombe, Campbell River — Knee injury. Hopes to get home soon.

Y. Lunstrum, Lake Lillooet. — Shoulder and leg injury. Will be in for a while yet.

Abbott Can’t Fool Us All The Time

So Mr. Abbott has not received as many letters and telegrams opposing his relaxing of rent controls, as he expected.

A Well, women, get busy and do your bit. See that every organiza- tion you belong to sends the necessary message asking for continu-

WE LIVE LIKE RABBITS huddling closer and closer to- gether in flats and rooms that we may cut overhead. And what is the result? Look at the daily papers.

MORE CRIME, MORE SUI cides. Another wing at Esson- dale! People MUST have room to live sanely, decently and graci- ously. Children MUST have space to grow and play and feel secure and wanted.

OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE done it. Countries with less wealth, less material and greater populations have cared for the housing of their people.

SOCIAL AT COWICHAN

The Women’s Auxiliary to Lo- cal 1-80, IWA, held a most suc- cessful Social recently, in_ the Lake Cowichan Community Hall. Members of the Local were guests of the Auxiliary.

Old-time music, and dancing made an enjoyable evening.

The Auxiliary, of which Sister Irene Alred is president, is gain- ing many new members. The fine community spirit shown by these women, wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of the men, is largely responsible for the fine prestige held by the IWA in this district.

Concern was expressed at the November business meeting of the Women’s Auxiliary, Local 1- 217, IWA, over reports that two lumber firms are cutting out benefits to their employees,

A North Vancouver firm is dis- continuing the discount and pref- erence formerly given employees on their fuel.

A False Creek firm has also advised its employees that the 50 cents per load allowed them off wood and sawdust, is no longer in effect. *

1-217 PROBES DISCOUNT CUTS

The members of the W.A. felt that this would make a difference to their budgets and considered sending a resolution asking ac- tion, to their Local. However, this’ was decided against, as it was finally agreed that the men themselves would deal with the matter.

Three new members were wel- comed at the meeting which was well attended. Newcomers were Mrs. W. Grey, Mrs. A. Busch and Mrs. Marjorie Paterson.
