B.C. Labor Unrest Ends I
I
When 37 Electricians
Call Off 51-Day Strike j
VANCOUVER, Iff)—A period of !
labor unrest in British Columbia '
was brought closer to an end Fri
i day when 37 electricians called
off a 51-day strike against the
City of Vancouver.
Dozens of traffic control lights
and thousands of street lights
went out during the strike thru i
lack of maintenance. One man
was killed when knocked over by
a car on a street where a light
had burned out.
A strike by nurses at the Royal
Columbian hospital in New West
minster was avoided when they
decided to accept an offer by the
hospital board.
Some 52,000 workers threat
ened strike action in the period
of troubled labor relations which
began last winter with the dis-1
pute between coast lumber opera-1
tors and the International Wood- j
workers of America.

Sweet "16”—Chocolate, Too
A 16th birthday is pretty important to most girls—and Nancy
Priest of Washington. D. C. is no exception. The big chocolate
“16” on the cake is proof of its importance in the Priest house
hold. Helping out with the candle-lighting ceremony is Nancy s
mouier, Mrs. Ivy Baker Priest, the Treasurer of the United
States. Nancy has often been reminded that s**^*™*
anniversary with the Series E Savings Bond, and it is fitting that
va- rifts shwM have included the two U. S. Savings Bonds
shewn in the lower right-hand corner. Like most girlsher age,
Nanay is looking forward to coUege, and her Bonds will come
la haatf tohate out with the expenses. Many thousands of
Students are in college today because their parents regularly
bought Savings Bonds in their names—some for all 1C years.
