August 25 Date Set For

Liberal Party Convention;

The date of the British Columbia Liberal Association’s con-

nounced this week.
to be held at Kelowna
arranged Dominion-Provyincial
tember:

The convention will be the first
to be held since 1932, when Premier
©. D. Pattulio was chosen to lead
the provincial party. Between five
and six hundred are expected to
attend, with the rank and file well
represented, At least 100 are ex.
pected to attend from Vancouver
and the Lower Mainland will have
a representation of 150. Since all
provincial and federal constituen-
cies are represented at Liberal
Association meetings, federal as
well as provincial questions are ex-
pected to come up for discussion.

Already resolutions to be pre-
sented to the convention are being
discussed in the yarious Liberal or-
Ganizations and a demand that the
provincial government take action
to prevent further penetration of
British Columbia's natural re-
sources by Japanese imperialist in-
terests seeking raw materials to
feed the Japanese military machine
is Said to be receiving considerable
support. it is certain, too, that
laber legislation will receive full
discussion.

With new alignments shaping,
Premier Pattullo wants to gauge
the sentiment of his own party or-
fanization before he goes east for
further discussion of important is-
sues with Prime Minister Macken-
zie King.

The original date set for the convention,
, was found to conflict with the tentatively-

China Cause

VICTORIA, BC, May 12—At a

Burnaby Council of the Parent-
Teacher Association is pressing
for incorporation of the muni-
cipality in the Metropolitan
Health Board, a proposal which
Was rejected by Commissioner
Hugh Fraser when it was made

some 18 months ago.

At a recent meeting the PTA
council appointed a special com-
mittee consisting of Mrs. Elmer
Evans, president, Mrs. E. J. FF.
Axford, secretary, and Mrs. H. S.
Irwin, to contact other organiza-
tions and interest them in its cam-
paign.

Mrs. Irwin pointed out to the
committee that at the present time
the municipality was spending
some $6,000 annually for one medi-
cal health officer, two nurses and
one part-time inspector.

“By joining the health board,
there would be available a budget
of $16,544 which would provide
for two medical health officers,
four nurses, one sanitary inspec-
tor and one unit clerk,’’ she said.

“Additional cost will be born
by the provincial board of health
and the Rockefeller Foundation,
each contributing $5136,’ she ex-
plained, adding that a grant would
also be received from the provin-
cial department of education for
school nurses.

The move would permit opera-
tion of Well Baby and Pre-school
clinics, resulting in improvement
of general health of children and
the correction of defects in chil-
dren before entering school, it was
urged.
it would provide for a specially
trained personnel for advice in
infectious diseases, both diagnosis
and control; milk and food prob-
Jems; sanitation and mental hy-
giene, and for a public health
nurse trained in school nursing,
child welfare work and tuberculosis
nursing.

Victoria Stages
Open=-Air Rally

VICTORIA, BC, May 12—An
Open-air peace rally sponsored by
the Victoria Youth Council was
held last Sunday in Beacon Hill
Park. Speakers were Rev. Bryce
Wallace from the Ministerial As-
sociation; C. Chivers, Trades and
Labor Council; A. Heathcote, Ca-
nadian League for Peace and De-
miocracy; in addition, there were
speakers from the Local Council
of Women and the League of Na-
tions Society.

May Day Marked
By Salmon Arm

SALMON ARM, BC, May 12.—
May Day was celebrated here with
a picnic and sports at Glenedin. Ad-
dresses were given by local speak-
ers who stressed the importance of
organization and unity, and ban-
ners (bearing slogans for peace,
support for Republican Spain and
against the Chamberlain foreign
policy were displayed.

A successful social and dance
was held on the evening before

Christianity. Once a church takes
Sides, it ceases to be a church and
becomes part of the party faction.

May Day.

“We have nothing against the
Roman Church. In our own midst
we have its representative who is
probably the best type of priest
in his church today. Any parish
would be fortunate in having such
a broad-minded man as its spiritual
guide. It is unfortunate that the
church is an institution that often
fails to choose the right men as
leaders.

“We admire Dr. Sedgewick for
his courageous stand in the great
cause of individual liberty. We do
not know if the good Doctor is a
member of any particular church,
but we do know that his work in
the cause of progress is far greater
than that of his clerical opponent,

device to silence opposition.
old “red herring of Communism”’
serves a very useful purpose as a
camouflage to blind the simple
voter to the real cause of unrest
and agitaiton. This herring is
flaunted before such as are doubt-
ful of political party ethics and to
warn such critics to remain in the
party fold or be mopped up by a
Red Armageddon.

“May we, with true Christian
spirit, as well as with a true ap-
preciation of the activities of the
early medieval church advise Arch-
bishop Duke that he would be
better employed assisting in the
erection and dedication of “Poor
Joan’s Statue” in Quebec than in
the deification of a sinister political
party law which aims to stifle hu-
man conscience and padlock free
speech.”’

1938 Tax Rate 65 Mills

Royal City Sets 9-Mill
Increase On Land Only

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC,

May 12.—An increase of nine

mills to be levied on land only, bringing the 1938 tax rate to 65
mills, was decided Monday by the city council here.

Large Area |

Is Drained

Pitt Meadows Project
Reclaims 8300 Acres

PITT MEADOWS, BGC, May 12.—
An interested group of farmers
here on Monday afternoon watched
Hon. A. Wells Gray, minister of
lands, start two automatic pumps,
making possible the creation of

8300 acres of rich agricultural
land.
The land of the area thus

drained, lying partly in Pitt Mea-
dows and partly in Maple Ridge,
has for years been heavily water-
logged, rendering it too acid for
successful cultivation. The provin-
cial government has loaned the
farmers of the area $11,000 for the
project, which, it is expected, will
enable the land to be made highly
productive.

Burns’ Hospital
Tender Rejected

Another blow was delivered re-
cently to P. Burns Company, now
being boycotted by organizezd la-
bor, when, despite the fact that
this labor-hating campany made
the lowest tender to supply butter
to Vancouver General Hospital, the
contract was let to the Fraser Val-
ley Millk Producers’ Association, a
union firm.

This was effected through the
efforts of Ald. H. LL. Corey, repre-
sentative of the city council on the
hospital board, and Ex-Alderman
R. P. Pettipiece, an ex-member of
the hospital board of governors. As
trade unionists of long standing,
their lead in the committee was re-
sponsible for the defeat of Burns.

Ald. J. A. Courtney, finance chair-
man, in pressing a special report
on budget proposals, said that a
$10 to $20 tax had been considered.
He stated that a tax on improve-
ments “is bound to come vyery
soon.”

Permission to exempt a minimum
amount of improvements in order
to ease the burden on small prop-
erty owners was recommended by
the committee, with the suggestion
that legislation should be obtained

permitting of these exemptions
when and if improvements were
taxed.

City Comptroller A. J. Bowell was
instructed to prepare a statement
showing the effect of such exemp-
tions on city tax revenues. It was
suggested that exemptions should
be up to $1500 or $2500. :

UMWA Auxiliary
Doubles Members

CUMBERLAND, BC, May 12—
Membership in the Women's Aux-
iliary of the United Mine Workers’
Union has doubled in the last
month and is steadily growing. An
outstanding float representing Dr.
Bethune’s medical unit in China
was entered in the May Day par-
ade, to win enthusiastic comment,
following which was the contingent
of “The Happy Gang,” a local chil-
dren’s organization sponsored by
the Women’s Auxiliary.

Support for the Canadian volun-
teers in Spain is derived from the
twice weekly whist drives organ-
ized for this purpose.

Taximen Covered

The Board of Industrial Rela-
tions on Saturday was given auth-
ority to place taxi-drivers under
the eight-hour day law. The orde?
will not come into effect, however,
until a formal regulation has been
passed by the board.
