PAGE 12 TERRACE BAY NEWS SEPTEMBER 4, 1969 at EE WHO ARE THEY? Are they a class in Mrs. * Smart's kindergarten, when the former Methodist church was used as a classroom while a new public school was being built, or an outing, A Sunday school class of the late Mrs. Tom Arnot, who taught in St. John's Anglican Church? The picture is taken beside the former church, in Mrs. Arnot's yard. The only one recognized is Alex McCuaig - in front with his leather flyer's helment on - who belongs in neither of the above categories too young to be in school and + not attending the Anglican Church. Inez McCuaig would "appreciate names of those in the picture. LEADERS OUT OF STEP ® ANY HONEST CLUB MEMBER will admit that the member- ship, sometimes known as the rank and file, and the executive often function as though they were two different organizations. This may reach the unhealthy stage where the executive goes its own way without consultation and in a direction that the members would not approve. That is, if they were asked. A president makes a decision and salves his consciena¢ by saying to himself that the matter really wouldn't interest the club as a whole. Labor unions are no exception. The AFL-CIO in the United States has had a poll conducted by a professional firm to find out what its members think on a variety of subjects. The Wall Street Journal reports that it is so disturbing to the leadership and is so secret that the only copy is locked up in President George Meany's safe. Apparently the members are most concerned about high taxes and recognize the relationship between taxes and demands for increased welfare. And, among other things, they are not really very much in- terested in the union fight to get rid of right-to-work laws. It would be interesting to know what an independent poll would reveal about the opinion of Canadian union members on, for example, US domination of unions, mass picketing and injunctions. The British Columbia Federa- tion of Labor, which is trying to end injunctions in that province, is asking each member for $1 or more for a political education fund. The members may give the $1 but they may give it because of indifference rather than conviction. * Taken from the Printed Word OF THE WEEK = ep Mae > VLAFF 9 "Is that another call for me?"
