Nanaimo WA Wants Members
By PAT MEABRY
April meeting of the Nanaimo Women's Auxiliary was held at the home of Sylvia Wowchuk with 10 members present.
Convention reports and discussion took top place on the agenda. It was resolved by members present to conduct our affairs on a more business-like basis.
Means of publicising our Auxiliary were discussed and many suggestions were put forth: donations to Cubs, Brownies, Scouts, Cancer Fund, and other groups.
Arrangements were made to hold a Cabaret Dance on April 18 if we could arrange for a hall. Again we were faced with the necessity of a Fishermen's Hall and some time was spent on discussing a new plan that was put forth to build one.
Mrs. Wowchuk served lunch and her fresh homemade bread made a hit with all.

Nanaimo is the largest Local on Vancouver Island, yet there seems to be no news items, or am I just riot in the know of the "wakes, weddings and births" that do take place?
Would anyone having knowledge of an interesting event please phone me at Nanaimo 1687-X1. Please be certain that the news is authentic and that you have the permission of the party involved
to print the item.

As I have stated above, Nanaimo Local is the largest on the Island, yet the membership of our WA is not in proportion to the size of the Local; meaning that there are a great number of fishermen's wives and relatives who are not members of our Auxiliary. As long you are a "relative" of a fisherman or shoreworker, you are eligible to belong to our Auxiliary.
We convene dances, smorgas-bords, home cooking sales and rummage sales as well as sponsor a Christmas Tree and Party for fishermen's children—parents included.
We are aiding in the building of a Welfare Fund and Strike Fund— and still hoping for a hall in the not too distant future.
Every pair of hands added to the group lessens the great burden now heaped on the shoulders of a few. i
If you are interested in joining, feel free to do so, just phone Edith McDonald at Nanaimo 12S3-Y1 or myself . at Nanaimo 1687-Y1.

First Lady of Labor
MLLE. HUGUETTE PLAMONDON
Canada's first lady of the trade union movement is Madamoiselle Huguette Plamondon, last week re-elected a vice president of the Canadian Labor Congress for her second two-year term. The 32-year-old member of the United Packinghouse Workers Union (she is field representative for the organisation) has been active in the labor movement since 1945. The attractive young lady, only woman to serve on the executive of a Canadian trade union centre, is on call at all times to handle CLC problems in Quebec where she is one of three vice presidents. She is fond of her job but points out that "even in labor circles, women have to keep plugging to be recognised."
Ladner Auxiliary Adds Three More To Rolls
By GRACE STEVENS
Mrs.   Andra   Nicolich was
hostess for the March meeting of the Ladner Women's Auxiliary, Monday, March 31, with a good attendance of 21 members.
President    Delia Schlesinger
opened the meeting and extended a warm welcome to three new members, Mrs. Maude Spensley, Mrs. Pearl Armstrong and Mrs. Mabel Smith.
Reports on Auxiliary and Union conventions were given, with a suggestion that next year consideration be given to paying expenses for one person to attend the full Union convention. A vote of thanks was given Wreatha Deane for a job well done in managing the coffee bar during the convention.
After considerable discussion, the meeting agreed to have the WA executive meet with the Local executive to discuss further the possibility of setting up a joint emergency fund.
The usual assistance of setting tea tables and paying for one banquet, will be given the May Day celebrations.
Preliminary plans were made to enter a float in the Centennial Parade, to be held in August, and any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
The Sunshine raffle, a potted plant, was won by Andra Nicolich.

Spring brings with it a host of activities of every kind. For instance, cleaning up our back yards brings us to our first item of interest, an unfortunate accident. Auxiliary member Katina Nesbit was lighting a bonfire when she suffered burns to her face, hands and arms. She is recuperating at home of her daughter, Mrs. Elsie Olsen in New Westminster and we hope she'll be home again soon.

Kenny Wilson, son of "Smokey" and Lucille Wilson, is back at school again after undergoing an operation in hospital recently.

And spring inevitaibly brings out the yen to travel. Taking advantage of the lovely weather to motor to California, are Mr. and Mrs. John Guiricich, who have left for a three week stay.
Spring wouldn't be spring without its weddings. About 80 guests gathered at the Fishermen's Co-op Hall on March 29 for the reception of Judy Malanfant, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Malanfant, and Neil McFadden, son of Mrs. J. Smircich, following the wedding at the United Church in Sapper-ton. The bride was dressed in a green tweea suit, with brown and white accessories, and her bridesmaid, Jeannette Allen, wore a light blue suit with pink accessories. They both wore corsages of red roses. Donald McFadden, brother of the bridegroom, was best man. A pretty two-tier wedding cake graced the head table, tastefully decorated in pink and white. Frank Radoslo-vich acted as master of ceremonies, and after a lovely buffet lunch, dancing was. enjoyed with music supplied by Helen and Marie Radoslovich. The couple are residing in Ladner after a brief honeymoon in Tacoma.
Mrs. Rose Maxwell has returned home from a trip to Sennet-terre, Quebec, where she attended the wedding, March 4, of her oldest son LAC Leo Hillairet to Meryle Palmer, also serving in the Air Force.

Labor Congress to Establish Women's Auxiliary Executive
The Canadian Labor Congress convention last week called for establishment of a women's auxiliary executive but only after Mrs. Josephine Hallock of Vancouver had said her piece on the matter.
Originally, a resolution from the United Rubber Workers containing this proposal had come on the floor with a recommendation of non concurrence from the organisation committee.
It appeared that the matter would lay over for two years until Mrs. Hallock, representing the Office Employees' Union, hit the mike and argued that "The power of women as consumers can make or break unions."
Her spirited defence of women's rights in the trade union movement won a referral of the resolution back to the committee which had offered little in defence of its original action.
Next time the resolution came to the floor, it carried the committee's recommendation for approval.
A representative from the sponsoring Rubber Workers' Union on the second time around said the trade union movement must "recognise the role women play in history — they are not appendages but part of the labor movement."
He  reported that his auxiliary
was organised around political ac- : gross establish a "special depart-tivity.   "There are many matters  ment for women's auxiliaries."

Purpose of such an executive, the resolution stated, would be "to give direction in the establishment of ladies' auxiliary groups in local unions affiliated or chartered within the Congress, to coordinate the work and objectives of these various auxiliary groups, and also wherever necessary, to assist and supplement the work and activities of the Canadian Labor Congress." Mrs. Hallock spoke a second time,   declaring   herself "happy"
her opinion on the floor. Her sisters, probably no more than 50 of them present, were silent.
