LPP contesting four
federal byelections

Morris, LPP national organizer,
heads a slate of four LPP stand-
ard bearers who have been enter-
ed in the contests. Others are
William Kashtan in Toronto-Trin-
ity, Frank Brenton in St. Lawrence-
St. George, and Louise Harvey in
St. Antoine-Westmount.

Voting is to fill vacancies aris-
ing since last year’s general elec-
tion. The two Montreal contests
were caused by retirement of for-
mer defense minister Brooke Clax-
ton from public life and the ap-
pointment of finance minister
Douglas Abbott to the Supreme

"| Court.

The Toronto-Trinity vacancy was
created by the death of Liberal
member Lionel Conacher, the “Big
Train” of hockey fame. The sit-
ting member for York West, Rod-
ney Adamson of the Progressive
Conservatives, was killed in an air
disaster involving. a TCA plane
and an air force training craft over
Moose Jaw.

Liberal and Progressive Con-
servative parties have candidates
in the field for all four ridings:
Liberal, Conservative and CCF
spokesmen are contesting Selkirk
in Manitoba and Liberal and Tory
candidates are standing in the On-
tario constituency -in Ontario.

Rush will press fight
for Riley Park pool

Action of Vancouver City Council this week in turning down
placing of a $500,000 bylaw to build an indoor swimming pool at
Riley Park before voters December 8 hasn’t removed the issue from

| the civic election battleground.

“Council’s action in rushing through this decision before public

organizations had an adequate op-
portunity to make representations
on the matter will backfire against
the NPA,” predicted Maurice Rush,
independent aldermanic candidate.

“The fight for an indoor pool at
Riley Park is only beginning,” con-
tinued Rush. “Vancouver sorely
needs a centrally located indoor
pool. Among major cities in Can-
ada we have the poorest facilities
for swimmers.

“There is only one public swim-
ming pool in the city. ° This pool,
situated in the West End, is ob-
viously inadequate.

“On voting day the people will

remember how city council scut-|;

tled the pool bylaw, and use their
ballots to replace the present NPA
council with progressive candidates
who will give the citizens of Can-
couver a square deal.”

When council voted on the by-

law issue, two delegations from the
National Federation of Labor Youth
and local high schools were in the
chambers, along with the student
council of Kitsilano High School.
Earlier, NFLY chairman Archie
MeGugan had given Mayor Fred
Hume a letter from his organiza-

tion demanding that citizens be
allowed to vote on the pool.

The high school students had
previously circulated a petition in
the schools demanding that an in-
door pool be built at Riley Park.
