Protest sent to CBC on dropping of LPP The Labor-Progressive party’s provincial executive this week protested a CBC decision political parties granted free-t to drop the LPP from’ its list of ime political broadcasts. In a letter to Kenneth Caple, CBC director for B.C., LPP provincial leader Nigel Morgan said, in part: “T have been directed by the LPP provincial executive to inform you that we regard this ruling as a most arbitrary and undemocratic one, and a violation of the ‘Statement of Policies and Rulings’ issued by the Board of Governors of the CBC. “That statement declares: ‘A designated amount of free time will be made available by the CBC on a provincial network in the province con- cerned to participating politi- cal parties. The division of such time will be mutually agreed upon by the parties in- volved - The privilege of free network time for political broadeasting will be granted to bona fide parties which are provincial in extent and which reflect a substantial body of opinion throughout the prov- ince. While it is impossible to lay down an exact definition it is suggested that such party would meet all the following requirements: (1) Have poli- icies on a wide range of pro- vincial issues, (2) Have a rec- ognized prov incial leader, (3) Have a province-wide organi- zation established as a result of a provincial conference or convention, (4) Put into the field at least one candidate for every four constituencies or seats.’ “As is well known, the LPP meets all four of these requirements. It has a_ total of 62 functioning clubs throughout the province, with a total dues-paying member- ship in excess of 1,000. It has been active in every provin- cial and federal election since its founding in August, 1943 and actively campaigns be- tween elections on a wide range of political issues, “In _ these circumstances, “Everything in Flowers” FROM EARL SYKES 56 E.

Se PTT Tn Tt ti (ENB UB Gm eELy, Castle Jewelers Watchmaker and Jewelers = ete, CALS OLN, and in light of the CBC’s own statement of policy, such po- litical gerrymandering is un- becoming a great democratic Canadian institution like the CECe Morgan again quoted from the GBC policy statement, which says that “for the prop- er functioning of representa- tive and democratic govern- ment, it is essential that the public should be fully inform- ed of the issues at stake... and of the position and poli- cies of various parties towards those issues.” Further on the CBC state- ment declared its policy, with regard to controversial prin- ciples, is based on the prin- ciples that “the air belongs to the people . . . the air must not fall under the control of any individuals or groups in- fluential by reason of their wealth or special position.. the right to answer is inher- ent in the democratic doctrine of free speech...” “How can this latest decis- ion be squared with such a statement of policy? asked Morgan. “I have been direct- ed to protest the decision and to appeal to the Board of Gov- ernors for a reconsideration.” PATRONIZE — CARNEL’S - COFFEE SHOP 410 Main Street Under New Management Robbie & Grace Robertson DEAVES TRANSFER Moving & General Cartage Reasonable Rates TERRY BA. 3024 TED HARRIS Painters’ and Paperhangers’ Supplies Sunworthy Wallpaper Reg. 45c, Now 19c a roll 757 E.

A. C. Bennett. “All Greater Vancouver municipalities are now ad- versely affected by one of the most out-of-date arrangements existing anywhere on _ the North American continent,” wrote Caron. ; “Tt is ridiculous that a grow- ing metropolitan area like Greater Vancouver should be divided so that citizens can only pass from one part to another by paying exorbitant tolls. It smacks of the kind of arrangements which were prevalent in the days of feud- alism. “Apart from the heavy cost to commuters — and it is esti- Caron asks federal-provincial| pact to end North Shore tolls) mated that because of tolls it costs residents on the North Shore an average of $70 a year more for living there — the toll system obstructs traffic, increases the danger of acci- dents, and involves a heavy expenditure to erect toll gates and attend to them. 2 “The people: of the North Shore are disgusted with the manner in which this issue has been made into a political foot- ball. The public’s concern is not with who will get the credit for removing tolls—but that they should be removed speedily in the general interest. “The Labor-Progressive par- ty of North Vancouver pro- poses that the federal govern- ment should incorporate the now-being-built Second Nar- rows bridge into the highway system and that it be made toll free. Further, that to- gether with such action the provincial government ° an- nounce the removal of tolls on the First Narrows bridé at the earliest date. “T urge speedy considerati@ of this highly important mat ter in the interest of 4 greater growth and expansid! of the Lower Mainland, ail! in the public welfare.” | Prizewinners listed at city Loggers Ball Prizewinners at the Logge® Ball held in this city Dece ber 28 have been announc® as follows: First prize, a suit of clothes went to holder of ticket No 860; second prize, a porta radio, was won by Miss Dot Bland, 1153 Burnaby Stree Vantouver, with ticket No 662; third prize, a wrist wate went to George -Kassian db 2467 Oxford Street, Vancoll ver, with ticket No. 488; ant fourth prize went-to Do Hieber of 1073 East 12 Avenue, Vancouver with tick No. 944, CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING A charge of 59 cents for each insertion of five lines or less with 10 cents for each ad- ditional line is made for no- tices appearing in this column.
