Sloan Named Mediator In BC Lumber Strike
Ottawa reports Labor Minister Mitchell directed the reappointment of Justice Gordon Sloan to mediate the seven day old BC lumber strike involving 37 000 loggers and mill workers. The move requires regional War Labor Board approval. Vancouver reporters welcomed Sloan’s mediation and said unions and operators will cooperate to resolve the dispute. No immediate return to work or conference timetable announced. The International Woodworkers of America had sparked the stoppage after failed wage and hour demands. The Vancouver Daily Province will run a condensed edition to conserve newsprint as the dispute continues.

Legion Advances Veterans Housing Policy At Quebec Convention
The Canadian Legion's biennial convention in Quebec City overrode two solid Quebec blocs to adopt the housing clause of two rehabilitation committee reports. It backs a veterans housing act and a national program for homes for men earning about 100 dollars monthly, with a fund to subsidize low priced rentals for veterans earning 1500 dollars a year or less and rent subsidies. The action followed an amendment by A L Taylor urging detailed government action. The committee's views become Legion policy and will be sent to the government.

Greyhounds chase false hares in racing prank saga
The piece notes that greyhounds lack perspicacity, chasing an electric hare in a long running scam once used at Manchester. Mechanized rats fooled fox terriers, who soon ignored the fake bait and let the rat finish first. Trainers report wiser cogs, yet the cure is to send disappointed racers to farms for real rabbits.
