Contract negotiations affect- ing more than 3,000,000 union members -- three times the total last year -- are scheduled. Fat corporation profits are in- centives for tough haggling.

As for Meany and the CLC, not much warmth exists in the affiliation between the two, it is felt here. To Meany, the CLC has been a bad boy for getting mixed up in the formation of the New Democratic Party in 1960-61 and for placing too much emphasis in Meany's view on Canadian sovereignty for branches of international un- ions. about 60,000 as a consequence of | Ao ara witing the aw ond) LAUNCH Plan To Train Indians | parts industry on a continental] basis.

A poetry recital was scheduled, and if there is one form of creative expression that excites Russians it's poetry. Some see it as a means of escape from drab reality. More fundamentally, it's probably due to an inborn lyricism in the Russian nature. In any case, poetry, even sometimes bad poetry, has a compelling power for most Russians. The recital, one of many held throughout the Soviet Union in connection with Poetry Day, at- tracted about 200 people--stu- dents, housewives, white-collar workers, most of them in their 20s. Ten poets--men and women, none widely known--each re- cited two or three of their own poems. They stood on a small rostrum and the crowd, most of which was also standing, re- ceived the offerings with polite applause. They were apprecia- tive if not overly impressed. STRIVE FOR EFFECT The poets recited in drama- tic fashion with verbal flour- ishes and much striving for ef- fect, the prevailing mode here. One woman forgot her lines, gave up on that particular poem and tried another, called Jour- nalist. "Lenin was a_ journalist, Lenin read the newspaper," she recited. Later she returned to the original piece: 'December is my month..." and sailed right through, reciting like a Poetry Day began in the So- viet Union 11 years ago. It rows more popular and now actually extends over a full month. The latest brought recitations and readi in 17 book es in Moscow, at other business enterprises, at clubs and con- cert halls.

"But we were hoping for a chance like this for a long time." Donald Mawakeesic, his dis- tant cousin, Ernest, Thomas Linklater and John Meekis are the heads of the first four fam- ilies to arrive here. The Indians are moving into three-bedroom houses and will take classes at the Centre for Continuing Edu- cation. The over-all idea behind the Indian affairs branch's project is to try to raise an Indian from a Grade 3 educational level, teach him a trade and integrate him with white work- 113 ers in Canadian industry. Ernest Mawakeesic, 27, re- flected how the Indians felt about their status last summer when he watched white men going to work in the administra- tion offices of a gold mine near the Sandy Lake reserve. "There are men going to work with suits and ties," he thought.

WASHINGTON (CP) -- Take a bony but palatable fish called the hake, extract its oil and water with a chemical and the result is a fish flour capable of supplying adequate protein to humans for as little as a half- cent a day. That's the calculation of In- terior Secretary Stewart Udall, with an eye on a world whose population, growing at a rate of 1,000,000 people a day, now threatens to double itself to 6,- 000,000,000 by the year 2000. The so - called fish protein concentrate has been a_ long time coming and still may be some time away from mass pro- duction.

"They have helicopters, sta- tion wagons and the very best of food. "We had sowbelly (salt pork: bannock, beans and our legs." Mr. Murray, who began pros- pécting when he carried mail through 75 miles of unbroken Northern Ontario bush and muskeg early in the century, says: "T used to run--run, not walk --50 miles a day. I used 'to break trails for Mounties and their dog teams and I haven't seen the dog team that could overtake me."" ; Mr. Murray retired in 1965 as president of Mount Washington Copper Co., near Courtenay on Vancouver Island. He claims to have been the original discov- erer of the Thompson, Man., nickel claims where Interna- tional Nickel Co. invested $185,- 000,000 in what now is one of the world's largest nickel mines. But it's another Manitoba mining venture that will rate a lot of ink in a book he hopes to wate: He says he discovered gold "lying all over the ground" jin chunks as large as bricks at Elbow Lake, Man. "The Elbow Lake vein was so rich he could cut it out with an axe," says his wife. "It was so rich," Mr. Murray Says, "that prostitutes in Flin Flon would accept small chunks of it as payment from the men working the ore." But Elbow Lake was a ven- ture that failed. Mr. Murray says his employees. began high- grading, or stealing, the ore they mined. He couldn't fire the offenders or call in police be- cause "you can't just fire men in that country, hundreds of miles from nowhere." "Besides, most of those men would just as soon 'shoot you as look at you." New Fish Flour Of Protein For Only Half Penny A Day qualified approval for his fish flour, a tan - colored, almost odorless powder produced at the ratio of six hake to one pound of product. Hake are common coasts. PROTEST FLUORIDE The food and drug people had held out against the protests of assorted other scientific organ- izations on grounds of possible hazard from fluoride--the sub- stance that prevents decay 'in children's teeth if present or artificially introduced in diets in minute quantities. Too much fluoride is consid- ered dangerous and limits have been placed on the amount of the substance in the fish -. flour residue. The food and drug division admits the flour is 80 per cent protein compared, for example, with a protein content in good hard Saskatchewan wheat of about 13 per cent, unmilled. Udall said the new product, under test for more than three years, "establishes a life line to a better future for undernour- ished millions of people." "It means that for as little as one-half cent a day, an un- dernourished person wherever he lives can be assured of suf- ficient life - sustaining animal protein to supplement his diet." LACK PROTEIN The bulk of malnutrition in less-developed countries around the world is usually traced to low-protein diets. While Sweden and the Soviet Union have also been working on fish flour, the U.S. plan now is to build one or two pilot factor- ies which can experiment in mass production. That would lead to commercial output, us- ing a greater range of fish from virtually untapped resources or _ ignored commercially so ar. Such projects would go far to alleviating the heavy drain on the Western grain reserves for aid to India and such emer- gency cases. The U.S. hope, which stresses self-help as the only real cure for the world food problem, is commercial production of fish meal for hu- mans in needy countries. off the Atlantic and Pacific Wadsworth and Mrs. Sheridan, 90; Mrs. D.
