Murphy charges

Social Credit reneged on a
promise made during the Similka-
meen byelection to set up a Medi-

cal Appeal Board, Harvey Mur-
phy charged last week in an clec-
tion broadcast.

The wellknown Mine-Mill lead-

er, who is contesting Vancouver
East riding as a Labor-Progressive

| candidate, pointed out that Chief

Justice Sloan recommended estab-
lishment of a Medicai Appeal
Board, and added: “These recom-

mendations have been published

Socreds reneged on
byelection promise

and in the hands of every mem-
ber of the government and in the
hands of every member of the

legislature, including the CCF,
but they did not even raise this
question on the floor of the legis-
lature.

“The Social Credit party prom-
ised this faithfully to our mem-
bers at the time of the Similka-
meen byelection, but since that
time has, through the mouth of
their minister of labor, announc-
ed that they will not go for it.”

LPP issues
program

for youth

A call to the youth of British
Columbia to take their rightful
place in the fight to develop the
rich resources of this province
for the benefit of its people was
issued by the Labor-Progressive
party this week.

Titled “An Invitation to Life,”
several thousand copies of the
LPP leaflet addressed to youth are
being distributed in electoral rid-
ings in Vancouver and throughout
the province.

On June 9 many thousands of
B.C. youth will be casting their
first votes, the leaflet points out,
adding that “the LPP has given
a striking demonstration of its
confidence in youth by nominat-
ing three of the youngest candi-

dates in the field: Mary Chomyn,
22, in Vancouver Centre; Archie

McGugan, 21, in Victoria; and
Gwyn Walters, 22, in Salmon
Arm.”

The Labor-Progressive party is
the party of peace and has been
the most consistent fighter against
the “Brasshats” who want to put
the youth in uniform, says the
leaflet, outlining its program:

@ Let the youth live for Can-
ada instead of being sacrificed on
some remote battlefield for the
benefit of war profiteers.

@ Make B.C. a place of op-
portunity for young people by de-
veloping our natural wealth to
provide secure jobs at good wages.
Make it possible for our young
people to have careers in the skill-
ed trades, the arts, sciences and
professions.

@ Restore government grants
to Pro-Rec and develop an all-
round program of sports, recrea-
tional and cultural activities.

© Recognize the right of youth
to have a voice in determining
the policies which affect their
lives and extend the vote to young
people at 18 years in all elections.
