This was decided at the fed- eration’s annual convention here during the weekend when a recommendation asking the Canadian Labor Council to sup- port the CCF on a national scale was substituted by one asking for the unification of all groups pledged to support the B.C. fed- eration’s program. The convention endorsed. the CCF in B.C. by a. four-to-one on Page 5.) Free trade with Red China, a request for amendment of the Lord’s Day Act, international control of nuclear weapons, and payment of unemployment in- surance benefits to workers laid off after refusing to cross a striking union’s picket line were -also approved. The resolution supporting trade with Red China received a lot of discussion, al) of it af- firmative, The main viewpoint was that 600,000,000 persons couldn't be ignored and that both countries trade.

Mr. Dohm said the defence collected 239 documents from which “nothing else could be concluded” but that Mr, Som- mers was guilty “cf the crime of bribery and the crime of conspiracy.” As a matter of public import- ance and interest, a corfcise summary of the defence evid- ence should be read into the record, he said. It involved the insurance of three forest management lic- ences and the integrity of a pro- vinejal cabinet minister. Mr. Dohm sald that delay in the case coming to trial had been detrimental to Mr. Sturdy, who depended on the respect his reputation was held In by the public and by members of the bar for his livelihood. In denying Mr, Dohm’s re- quest for reading defence evid- ence, Mr. Jsutice Clyne said: “T am not hear here as a purveyor of information to the public, There are other instru- ments," Ho sald he knew of no cnse where evidence was entered after the case was dismissed, “turned ee Crisis” Proportions The shortage of teachers is rapidly approaching | crisis proportions, delegates to the Northern. District - Council Teachers’ Convention in Terrace were told i Friday. The speaker was H. M. Evans, registrar of.the Department ot Education. 4 “The problem is ageravated by the fact that no less than 14 per cent of all ‘British Columbia's teachers leave the profession annually,” Mr. Evans said. Re- tirement, marriage, motherhood and the inducement of higher- paid occupations are all factors in this attrition, it was stressed. As illustration of the growth of the province’s school system, Mr. Evans sald that, while in 1946 there were 4,500 teachers,’ today 10,200 are employed. “In September, 1957,” he said, “we had to turn up 2,000 extra teachers. Our training ‘institu- tions accounted for only 650, and for the remainder we had _ to look to other provinces, Great Britain, and Indeed the whole English-speaking world. “However,” he told delegates “this problem {is almost world- wide, and we are only making it worse for other places,” The convention, whose cen- tral topic was “Professionallsm in our Ranks", heard greetings from Mollie Cottingham, presi- dent of the B.C, Teachers’ Fad-~ eration, and Dr, Denis C, Smith, College of Education, University of British Columbia. The more than 200 delegates gathered in teacher-led section meetings to discuss the aspects of education in which they were. most interested, while primary teachers met with Mrs. Florence Vey, primary consultant for Vancouver schools. Teachers also viewed commer: cial displays and demonstration lessons and were entertained at a buffet supper and carnival Friday evening. : The next day, after discussing Federation business, more than 100 delegates visited the woods operations of the Columbia Cel- lulose Company as guests of the company.
