Transit is key issue in Burnaby BURNABY —Four public meet- ings were held in the past week— in North Burnaby, Vancouver Heights, Capitol Hill, Lockdale, and Lozells. A very representa- tive group of people attended at each hall. At each meeting Coun- cillor Harry Ball spoke of the transportation problems of Bur- naby, and their relation to muni- cipal ownership. Councillor Ball spoke very strongly of the stand of the non- partisan group in the council, and said their efforts in opposing the wishes of the electors of Burnaby had brought about the failure of municipal ownership of transpor- tation, and the consequence is that the people of Burnaby have had to walk thousands of miles ‘in the past month. Burnaby knows now what monopoly ownership of the means of public transporta- tion means. Ewen Stracken and J. E. Callen- der also addressed the four meet- ings and at the conclusion of each resolutions were adopted reiter- ating the demands of the Burna- by people for a municipally own- ed and operated transportation system. It was also urged that the Reeve and Council should meet with the Street Railwaymen’s Union to work out plans for the operation of such a system. ‘producer 4 consuming public from any price]. LPP Island organizer presents milk brief NANAIMO — Alf. Dewhurst, island organizer for the LPP, appearing before the Provincial (One-Man) Milk Board last ‘Wednesday supported the demands of local farmers for an increase in the price of milk received by the primary producers but vigorously opposed the passing on of any increase in price to the consumer. Primary producers are seeking an increase in the price of their product amounting to approximately 3 cents a quart for basic 3.5 percent milk with corresponding increases for higher butter fat content. A well attended hearing list- ened attentively to the proposals advanced by the LPP for a formula that would allow a much- needed increase to the primary whilst protecting the increase. The LPP brief, which was the only representation made on behalf of the consumers, con- tained the following: @ Demanded a_ substantial in- crease in price paid to the primary producer. . - @ Opposed any part of any in- crease granted being divert- ed to the distributor. @® Proposed that the increase. to 3 the primary producers be met Bazaar opens next week with top entertainment A slap-bang, fast-paced variety show of the “Hellza- poppin’” variety is slated as a brightener-upper for the coming Labor Fall Fair and Bazaar in Pender Auditorium, November 26 to 29.

Hastings — Vancouver ’ Phone PAc. 8645 The planned variety show com- prises just one high point. in a tight schedule of entertainment offered at the bazaar. There will be a continuous showing of na- tive B.C. art, commercial and sa- lon photography ,and handicrafts. There will also be an excellent opportunity. for bazaar goers to reap the benefit of hundreds of high-quality articles offered- at bargain-basement prices. Goods offered range from intricate needle-work to staple household items, Wise, dollar - conscious housewives will find bargains ga- lore, and at prices surprisingly low. The’ big Sadie ‘Hawkins dance that will be another feature of: the bazaar will be held in the mural- decorated auditorium, one of Van- couver’s largest and best-ventilat- ed dance floors. Arrangements are being held for a sell-out crowd and the public is being urged to buy tickets now. by the provincial government in the form of a producers’ subsidy. ® Proposed that the Provincial . Government seek the neces- ary authority from the Legis- lature at the coming sessior to reorganize the milk board as the sole agency for the pro- cessing and distribution of milk in the province, in order to eliminate needless duplica- tion: now practiced with the resultant savings benefiting both producer and consumer alike, Dewhurst - was highly critical and. emphatically protested the procedure used by Mr. E. C. Carr, who is the milk board, of . ad- vertising and notifying interested organizations of when and where the board will sit. From receipt of the notifications, which were received two days after. mailing in Vancouver, only one and 2 half days remained before the date and time of the actual hearing. Such an undemocratic procedure of -notification in effect barred many organizations from partici- pating in the hearing by not allowing sufficient time for them to comply with their constitution- al requirements and prepare their arguments. Dewhurst reminded Carr that he’ had used the same procedure thé previous time that the board had sat in Nanaimo and sincerely hoped that Carr would correct this regrettable procedure.
