Ruddell hits
Non-Partisan
‘300’ clique

Non-Partisan Association ‘“com-
mittee of 300” which selects NPA
civic candidates is a selfish group
representing “vested interests and
powerful monopolists” who seek to
maintain their stranglehold on
Vancouver’s civic administration,
chargede independent aldermanic
candidate Elgin Ap this week.

“This ‘committee of 300’ screens
through a fine sieve ‘the candidatés
that they offer for election,” said
Ruddell, “Their sole interest in
the elections is to draw out the
vote of the ‘favored’ residential
areas and the as bbe daae big prop-
erty vote.

“All but one sitting alderman
owes his election to this sinister
machine.

“When I am elected I intend to
fight this NPA machine on behalf
of the common people. One of the
things I will fight for is the crea-
tion of a new system of communi-
ty representation through a ward
system. Then and only then will
the ‘forgotten’ East End areas Tee
cgive a square deal.

“As a private citizen I have done
my best to combat the ruthless de-
mands of the BCElectrié’s contin-
ual fare- “gouging, while the NPA
city council has given forth only
a few anaemic bleats. After De-
cember 12 I intend to carry this
fight forward from within ‘the
council chamber.

“BCElectric is clearly out to
get more money from all of us
by raising car and bus “fares to
15 cents straight and by hoisting
electric light and gas rates. - Ex-
perience has shown that NPA
aldermen and: the present mem-
bers of the Public Utilities Com-
mission offer taxpayers no pro-
tection whatsoever. The only al-
ternative, then, lies in. the election
of independent, fighting candi-
dates who will battle against fur-
ther BCE gaids’on the public’s
pocketbook.”

“Vancouver's blue laws belong to

Robert. Guthrie, head of the Sun-
day Sports and Cultural Events
Committee, whose petition cam-
paign which netted 13,000 signa-

“Sports are a necessary part of
our way of life,” the committee’s
brief to council stressed. 4 ‘They

youth in the sports world are un-
limited. Sunday sports would pro-
vide a springboard for our young
city athletes because important
sports events are too costly to ar-
range unless a big enough audience
can be secured, which experience
in other places has shown can only
be obtained on Sundays.

“Thus the extended facilities for
professional sports without doubt
promises to improve the calibre
of amateur sports. The very fact
of having professional teams of
high standard in our community
provides a worthwhile goal for our
youngsters.

“We also feel there is nothing
finer for our young people than to
go to a sports or cultural event on
a Sunday afternoon, often with the
entire family, and then having’ an
occupied mind for the rest of the
day, something to keep them away
from drinking and out of mis-
chief.”

Opposition’ to Sunday sports
comes mainly from church groups.

byterian Church in Canada went
on record as being unanimously op-
posed to Boy, change in the Lord’s

Montreal police
arrest’ woman who

protested prices

B.C. provincial council of the Congress of Canadian *Women this
week sent telegrams to Montreal’s Mayor. Houde and Police Chief .
Langlois strongly protesting tne arrest of Mde. Danielle Dionne, spokes-
man for a CCW delegation which visited Montreal ae Hall to demand

lower meat prices.

Mde. Dionne was arrested in city
hall and held overnight « in jail,
bail being refused, despite her plea
that she had a sick child at home.
Charged with ‘disturbing the
peace,” she was to be tried this
week under Section 222B of the
Criminal Code,
maximum penalty of three months
in jail.

In a snowballing chain-telephone
campaign, initiated by the Con-
gress’ Montreal council, 60,000 wo-
men had pledged to buy no fresh
meat for the duration of the “Meat
Strike’’—November 7-14. :

Describing tie arrest of Mde.
Dionne, a member of the CCW de-
legation, Mrs. Rose Alper, said:
“J took part in the deputation at
Montreal city hall when 100 wo-
men, many of them with. their
children, sought a hearing with
city executive committee. Not only
were we _.refused a hearing but

Mde. Dionne, ‘who was one of the

women just asking to be heard,
was arrested. The rest of us, with
our children, were forcibly and
quite brutally ejecte@ from the
building.”

The wire sent to Houde and:

Langlois by the Congress’ B.C.
provincial council, over signature
of Mrs. Agnes Jackson, read:

“The unwarranted arrest of
Mde. Danielle Dionne, spokesman
for © ‘Congress of Canadian, Wo-
men’s delegation protesting ‘meat
' prices before Montreal city ex-
ecutive committee, is a disgrace-
ful act. The B.C. provincial
council of the CCW strongly pro-:
tests -this action and demands
the immediate release of Mde.
Dionne.”

magistrate’s action

* TORONTO

The “unheard of” refusal of a
Montreal magistrate to grant bail
to a young mother, member of a
deputation of 100 women protest-
ing high prices at Montreal city
hall, was strongly rapped in a
statement by Thomas D. Roberts,
executive secretary of the League
for Democratic Rights.

Roberts referred to a direct tele-
phone talk he had with Mayor
Houde of Montreal which was un-
ceremoniously cut off by the mayor.
