Used newsreel and interview techniques are used that make it appear to theatre audiences that fiction is turned into fact. The film is said to be frightening in its realism as, with almost news- reel immediacy, the film por- trays the probable result of nue clear devastation. The noted movie critic Kenneth Tynan said about The War Game: “It may be the most important film ever made.”’ * * The festival will give audiences an opportunity to see again The Gospel According to Sain Mat- thew, the film about Jesus Christ, produced by the Italian Marxist,’ Pier Paolo Pasolini. La Boheme, the ever-popular Opera, this time performed by the La Scala Company, will also be shown, A new film from Czech- oslovakia, Loves of a Blond, isa human story about a Czech blonde factory worker, It is the kindof film the Czechs have shown great Sensitivity and skill in making.

Lee Ph. 255-6828 Rent controls urgedbyRankin Alderman Harry Rankin intro- duced a motion last week calling on Vancouver City Council to urge the provincial government to pass legislation setting up Rental Boards or other appropriate bodies to regulate rents, In a press statement this week, Rankin said: «On June 24th, Mayor Tom Campbell charged in a press interview that landlords who raised their rents by more than 5 percent were profiteering. If they raised rents 10 percent they were gouging, he declared, Tax and operational increases do not warrant more than a 5 percent increase, he said, as he accused apartment owners of taking ad- vantage of the housing shortage. « Although I have had many dif- ferences with Mayor Tom Camp- bell on many questions, and will probably continue to have many more, I thought this was a good statement by him and I said so in Council last week, «Over half of Vancouver’s pop- ulation now come into the category of tenants, Many of them have had their rents raised by a lot more than 10 percent, Some landlords are charging all the traffic will bear, Hardest hit are the people on welfare and the low income groups, «But just talking about it won’t change things, Tenants need some protection by law from those land- lords who take advantage of the situation:-to profiteer and gouge, “Quebec has legislation to stop 4 profiteering in accommodation during Expo 1967, Why couldn’t the B,C, government also pass legislation to prevent profiteer- ing in Vancouver during the pres- ent housing shortage? *T proposed in Council that Mayor Tom Campbell introduce a motion urging the provincial government to bring down the necessary legislation. I would have been happy to support any such motion by him, Mayor Camp- bell seems to have the ear of Premier Bennett and this would be a good time to take advantage of his good connections, “Mayor Tom Campbell is a wealthy apartment owner himself controlling 500 suites, He could set a good example not only by keeping down his own rent in- creases, as he says he is doing, but also by helping to bring in legislation that would protect all tenants against unfair practices, “While Mayor Campbell didn’t say anything in Council, he did speak to the press as soon as he got out, He is opposed to legis- ‘lation controlling excessive rents, he said. “J would urge all tenants who have had their rents raised by what they consider an excessive amount to get in touch with the mayor and members of Council,” OO Canad al Startling statistics on the Canadian Indian have been published in the Maritime Co- operator, a bi-monthly news- paper in Antigonish, N.S. —57 percent of Indian houses in Canada have three rooms or less, —56 percent have no elec- tricity. —91 percent have no sewers or septic tanks, —87 percent have no running water, —91 percent have no in- door toilets, —93 percent have no indoor baths, —90 percent have no tele- phones, —75 percent of Indian fami- lies earn less than $2,000 a year. “It’s good it gives for the poor to pay taxes — ’em a feeling of belonging.” Art show at 341 Gallery An exhibition of original oils, watercolors, and Chinese brush paintings will be shown atthe 341 Gallery until July 29th, The artists represent a variety of styles and themes and all are residents of B.C, The Gallery is located at 341 Pender St., and hours are 9 a.m, to 5:30, p.m., Monday through Saturday.
