Folk festival continues by Lyn Schankerman an ode on nausea composed and Sung by Dale Russell of Portage la Prairie completed the Best performance of Fri Day s Manitoba Folk festival at Home Street United Church. Or. Russell s final song about memories of a Drunken night was original in lyrics and Melody and presented in a confident off hand manner that also carried him through an earlier song where he consistently missed a note. His voice would slip past the note so he shrugged slightly and smiled with the audience. It was the same attitude his sister Dawn at 13 the youngest competitor maintained when she lost a note or forgot a line i her performance. Or. Russell backing her reached Over the tousled her hair. Those were the two outstand ing presentations of a four hour evening of spotty interest. An audience of More than 200 attended this second evening of the festival sponsored by the Winnipeg Guild of Folk music. Rising above a level of adequate quiet Folk sounds reminiscent and reflecting most of the recorded groups of that style was fran Kaczorowski 15, of Portage la Prairie. She was a near perfect re production of Joan Baez in one voice Quality unfortunately unmusical material. Her voice obviously a trained one was extremely mature for her age. Evoking another age of Folk sounds was John Paul on a 12 string guitar singing dust bowl blues. The Range in musician ship reached Down to almost embarrassing level of beginners some Sens-3 of humor at the sometimes approached with situation.

Smiling Bikini Clad girls a gloss on jobless problem by Hal Thayne Vancouver special the Sun was warm and just a touch of a gentle wind stirred the water As 1 carried Canoe Down to the Bright Blue water of English Bay. As i made Carefree Way to the water i stepped Over two Bikini Clad girls who smiled up at from their Blanket. It was Christmas Day 1967 in that state of mind known to the rest of Canada As British. Columbia. British Columbia May have Sun Shine Beautiful scenery but it also has one of the highest rates of unemployment in Canada. First of All a great Many men. And women Are lured to . Because they have grown tired of the cold Winters in the rest of Canada. They have also heard that there is work there. Jobs in the lumber Industry shipyards anywhere. Forget it. The shipyards Are slowing Down Victoria closed its largest Yard and the workers fled to the United states they did t do too Well there either. The lumber Industry is strike bound most of the time. Along the Yellowhead Highway from Kamloops to Valemount about 300 Miles the Mills have been closed by a strike for nine months and the end is not yet in sight. In the Little town where i worked As editor of the Valley newspaper we were the Only paper in the North Thompson people were losing their furniture their Homes their Hope. In Vancouver the Canada Man Power people Are weary from telling the unskilled that there is no Hope of their finding work. George b. From Nova Scotia piled his wife and three children into a battered old Hulk of a car and started for the promised land last fall. Within weeks they were on welfare. George who worked at an unskilled Job in a maritime mine found that the . Mines were just not hiring. Al p. Left his garage Job in Toronto because he saw a picture in a Canadian Magazine of Vancouver mayor Tom terrific Campbell standing on a Beach surrounded by Bikini cuties. Al figured that . Would be heaven. That was four months ago. After he sold his car and the Money from the Sale ran out he applied to the welfare department for help in returning to Toronto. Mary s. From Newfoundland worked As a waitress in Halifax. She had heard of . And its wonders so she took a bus. Nobody seemed to need a waitress. Now Mary 16, is part of that Hoard of hippies that infest downtown Van Couver. Jim r. From Winnipeg is a skilled pipe fitter. He looked for a Job for five months before finding one. He will be a year recovering from that five months. If a family Man applies for welfare he gets a slip giving him an appoint ment after 11 Days. After he sees his social worker there is a two Day wait for the Cheque. The reason for this delay is quite simple really. There is a double line that of ten reaches Back for a Block at the welfare office on 8th Street. They used to give a month to a single Man but there Are so Many of them that the City found it would save some of the taxpayers Money by rent ing an office building on Howe Street and turning it into a Hostel for Young single men. They provide bed and Board and a Little spending Money. The welfare department will do its Best to sort out this mess but it is too Early to Tell How successful it will be. Vancouver is also heaven for the hippies and since mayor Campbell got on to and called them scum a few weeks ago they have begun camping on the courthouse Lawn. A few weeks ago i joined a group who were watching a late movie on a tiny portable television set. A couple of policemen even joined us for a while. If a person is skilled unskilled or even a hippie he or she is better off staying at Home. . May be a Semi tropical heaven for the tourist with the Cash that enables him to live High on the hog but unless there is a Job waiting a sure Job Don t go. Even the Flower children Are finding it hard to live on love in wonderful British Columbia.

The run off rate for Domestic customers will remain at one cent per kilowatt hour. The 10 per cent prompt Paymen discount on the total Bill will also be continued. Minimum Bills for Domestic service will be standardized at net a month and the farm service minimum will remain at net a month. Although the Hydro act does not necessitate it going to the Public utilities Board before a new schedule is introduced the Utility has decided to do this and the new listing is now in tie Board s hands.
