MONOPOLY -MOVE

CLOVERDALE, BC, June 9.
— Support for the School Bus
Drivers’ Association of the
Fraser Valley in its struggle to
prevent monopoly of transpor-
tation was enthusiastically
forthcoming from delegates
representing a majority of Sur-
rey organizations meeting on
Thursday of last weelk in the
municipal hall here.

‘Strong condemnation of methods
used by BC FHlectric and Pacific
Stages to limit school buses to
children even in wider areas where
Stage services are not extended,
were voiced by prominent Surrey
residents. Chairman Reeve Hun-
ter stated that Kraser Valley reeves
had protested to the government
en behalf of struggling bus driv-
ers.

Len Shepherd, MILA (CCF, Delta)
declared school bus transportation
to be a decided necessity in the
Hraser Valley, and gave instances
of children utilizing this cheaper
form of transportation for outings
and picnics.

The conference endorsed a reso-
lution requesting passenger facili-
ties for school bus drivers ‘tin
catering to those who are finan-
cially unable te even contemplate
picnics or outings by the more
luxurious means of transportation.’

Reeve Hope, Langley, suggested
the resolution be introduced to the
meeting of BC reeves. He urged
bus drivers to fight their resolu-
tions through to a finish.

Besides the two MiiAs and three

reeves at the conference, there
were representatives from: four
ratepayers’ associations; five Ca-

nadian Legion branches; two Wom-
en’s Institutes; one HMarmers’ Insti-
tute; -two Parent-Teacher Associ-
ations; three church organizations;
Teachers’ Federation; sports or-
ganization; New Westminster Long-
Shoremen’s Union; school trustees;
Loyal Orange Lodge; and Junior
Chamber of Commerce.

“ROYAL MASTERS”

J
Ge protest has been aroused
in Vancouver this week by the
announcement that EF. H: Heeps, of
Los Angeles, who holds the timber
rights on beautiful Hollyburn
Ridge, is preparing to log off the
area.

Provincial government officials
were inclined to view the threat
as a bluff at first, holding that the
timber was of littl commercial
value. But Reeve Leyland of West
Vancouver disclosed that slashing
work was already being done and
that the contract for three miles
of road had been let.

He appealed to Hon. A. Wells
Gray, minister of lands, and the
provincial government to save the

ridge by purchasing it, and his ap-
peal was immediately backed by
the board of trade, tourist and
other organizations.

Mrsr Dorothy Steeves, CCE MILA
for North Vancouver, wired the
government urging immediate ac-
tion. Protest was also made by the
Gommunist party, Fergus McKean,
provincial secretary, stating:

“Tt would be a crime against the
people of Vancouver to permit the
destruction of Hollyburn Ridge.
Wot only is it a natural beauty spot
of VYancouver and a great asset as
a tourist attraction, but because of
its ready accessibility it provides
a week-end playground for thou-

Approximately 1000 organized
skiers and some 200 cabin owners
on the ridge held a meeting on Sun-
day night, vigorously protesting
the threatened move to despoil ‘‘the
finest potential winter sports park
on the Pacific Coast.” The spokes-
mien said that 40,000 ski enthusiasts
and sympathizers were prepared to
back any plan to convert the area
into a public park.

Earlier hopes that the govern-
ment would agree to bear half the
purchase price were dashed when
it was indicated that the province
would take no action to save Holly-
burn because, if it adopted a gen-—
eral policy of purchasing scenic

timber, the cost would be enormous.
The provincial sovermment ad-
vanced the plea that it possesed no
funds for the purpose, Premier Pat-
tullo stating:

“We will go as far as we can,
but this seems to be a matter for
West Vancouver.’’
