Labor Day Set Aside To
Honor Workers, Unions

In its original
conception, Labor
Day wad a day set
aside to honor the

Or| industrial worker and

is outdated, so has the significance of Labor
Day with the times.
On Sept. 5, Labor Day, ‘every

employed person in Canada, from thé ,

the acl it of

R trade unions. Today

it is still marked‘ of-

ficially, but only by

organized labor. Ev-

erybody else takes a holiday but, pay little

attention to the significance of the day
itself.

Yet the day has a meaning for all of
us, Trade unions themselves would be the
first to acknowledge that the day of out-
right hostility bet labor and
ment has ended; that narrow-mindedness
on both sides has no place in the building
of a greater B.C. and a greater Canada.
And just as the factionalism of yesterday

president down to the office boy,
will be taking a holiday. It is these
millions of ‘people, whether they belong
in the labor or management sections of
industry, who are contributing to the
building of this country.

There lies the Teal meaning of Labor
Day—Canadi: to a
better, more prosperous Canada, a finer
place in which to live and’ bring up their

families. Let there be trade union parades -

on Sept. 5, but let-there also be a moment's
reflection by each of us on the broader
concept of labor in Canada—the creation
by our own free efforts of the kind of
country we want our pened to inherit.

Newspaper Questions
‘Get Out Vote’ Appeals

It has been urged that the

stand pletely, we do agree that a per-

which have been conducted to get people
to ensure that their names are on the vot-
ers’ list, and the “get out the vote’”.appeals
are wrong and should be abolished. The
argument boils down to the reasoning that
if a person does not have the interest to
make ‘certain he can vote and then to cast
a ballot, then he actually is not conversant
with the issues, the platform or the candi-
dates’ qualifications and is therefore not
capable’ of soundly exercising’ the privil-
éges of the free voting procedures,
Proponents. of this line of r

son who pays no attention to politics or
issues, and perhaps does not even know
the candidates or the date ‘of the election,
cannot make a sound judgment between
the time a campaign car picks him up and|
the time he marks his ballot.
However, these campaigns can serve
a very useful purpose. Take in the case of
new legislation. The public has'to be’ in-
formed, A case is found in the fairly. re-
cent change which now: permits non”
property .owners to vote in municipal
elections cunder the resident and tennant-

argue that a person should not. be “pre-
ssured” into voting because that is morally
wrong. They claim such ‘a ballot is cast
carelessly just to please the

think they must own property to be en-
titled'to a vote and fail to get their names
on the voters’ list. Right now many tennant

and without any sound jud; ‘or. eval-
uation of the facts concerning the election.
They add that to make an intelligent de-
; cision one must first study the facts and
know the issues.

“Leave them alone” is the campaign
of these people. You are encroaching upon
individual rights by applying pressure to
get a person to vote.

This line of reasoning has a lot of
merit. Although we cannot agree to the

‘and_ resid tors are: not on the Vil- e

lage List and ‘they: should-be reminded
that to get the’ balldt they’ are entitled to
they should apply at the Osoyoos Municipal
Hall before Sepember. 30th.

With the provincial election set for
September 12th we are urging all, our|
readers to keep this important date’ in|
mind. We advocate attention to the plat-
forms ‘of the parties who will be trying
for election so that you can make a wise
and proper decision. — Osoyoos Times .

Socialist Christmas Tree
Has Cosily Decorations ©

As Mr. Robert Strachan, the B.C. soc-
ialist leader, moves about telling people
what the CCF would do for them if it were
elected to power, he looks more and more
like Santa Claus trimming a political
Christmas tree.

: First there ‘is public “ownership of
electric power in this province. Mr. Strach-
an would have the taxpayers take over the
B.C, Electric, the Kootenay power com-
panies, the Columbia development and the
Peace river project.so. that they could give
themselves cheap electricity.

-Then he promises that a CCF govern-
ment would start &- government health
insurance plan that would cover every-
thing and everybody.

‘And from Kamloops, commenting on
the possibility of the Pacific Northern Rail-

way pushing its newly $350,-
006, 600 line into Alaska, Mr. Strathan
waxed grandiloquent. .

‘Under a CCF government northern

B.C. will be developed but without the care-

In plain Enklish he means that the|.:

government would take over the railway
development too:

Now that Mr. Strachan’s Christmas
tree is so heavily loaded with goodies we

would like to ask him if he realizes how|:

tmauch they would cost or where the money
would: come from.

As far as we can figure, taking over

existing ‘power. companies. and projected
power developments would cost well over

$2 billion. Cost of the railway line is set|~

tentatively at’ $350 million (before it is
pushed into Aaska), And the: annual cost
of operating any health insurance plan
would be at: least $50 million, proba |
much more. -'
