Subgroups : CCF Frank Robert s Socialist Party of Canad a EVELYN GREY SMITH
While knowledge .of Evelyn Grey Smith's early years is limited ibp .j 1904) she claims distinguished ancestors including Earl Charles Gre y (an important figure who aided Lord John Russell with the 1832 Reform Act) and Lord Grey of Fallodon (a wartime Foreign Secretary of Great Britain and Governor - General of Canada .) Evelyn's marriage to Don Smith in the late 1930's found her becoming increasingly active in the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation . She lived most of her life in Vancouver . She joined' the CCF in Kamloops in 1933. Among her activities she took part in Camp Woodsworth, the CC1 summer camp near Nanaimo . During the I940's and early 1950' s she was an active member of the Stanley Park CCF Club . It was often her task to organize speakers for the Stanley Park Club Forum . She attended many conventions as a delegate from this club . Besides writing articles for submission to various publications , Evelyn wrote columns and book reviews for the'CCF`News on behalf of the Educatio n Committee . A lover of socialist books and material, she found her niche in the Literature Committee . Her enthusiastic work with literature, however, led he r into many conflict situations with others in the CCF, eventually-coming to a head at the 1950 National Convention (see "Literature Incident") . Evelyn was never pleased with what she preceived as the reformist drift of the CCF . She maintained that socialist education was the necessary key to real change . It was in the summer of 1950, just after the Nationa l Convention, that similar-minded people within the CCF held the Left-Wing Conference . Out of this meeting came the Socialist Caucus, later known as the Socialis t Fellowship . This group of left-wing members of the CCF, which contained some notables, met regularly . They published their own publications, Socialist Though t and-Materialsfor Thought, which contained articles on socialist subjects and philosophy . Eve was active in writing articles for them . Companion groups were to be found in Trail, Nanaimo, Victoria and Ontario (the Ginger Group) . However, in April of 1951, after about eight months , the Socialist Fellowship was forced to dissolve . The CCF Executive ruled that it was a defacto party within the CCF, and thus contrary to the CCF constitution . Frustrated with the CCF, Evelyn became involved with the Socialis t Party of Canada, joining in 1953 . Her efforts were no doubt a boon to the struggling Vancouver local . She persrgaailr-werked with Frank Roberts and Matthew Glenday , one-time CCF candidates in Vancouver Centre . Their correspondence and persona l papers are found in the collection . She worked very hard for what she believed in . Both her friends and her opponents undoubtably thought that her energy was endless . The root o f her philosophic activities can be found in one of her favourite statements : "Criticism is something you can avoid by saying nothing, doing nothing, an d being nothing" . The papers are arranged by series with some sub-groups . Included are many articles by people other than Evelyn Grey Smith .
