Ask Facilities
For Children

R. Holland Gives $50
After Plea Rejected

Determined to get action on its
demand that something be done to
provide recreational facilities for
children in its district, Winder-
mere Ratepayers’ Association this
week sent delegates Mrs. M. Wal-
pole and John Lesire to interview
the Park Board on the possibility
of constructing a wading pool and
tennis courts in Windermere Park
this summer.

Stating that Windermere district
‘Is in a continual cloud of dust,”
and that “nearly all sidewalks are
composed of ashes,’ the delegation
pointed out te Parks Board of-
ficials that an overwhelming de-
mand existed for the improvement
of Windermere Park to attract the
children from the streets. . The
board was told that at present
“local children mingled with dogs
splashing in an unsanitary water
hole on Renfrew.”

The delegation was informed that
the city had cut down all appro-
priations for such improvements,
and that nothing could be done
until next year, in any Case.

But so insistent were the rate-
payers’ representatives that Rowe
Holland, chairman of the board,
suggested the association canyass
citizens and business concerns for
the needed amount. He offered
to donate the first $50. His offer
was promptly accepted-

The Advocate learned that Win-
dermere ratepayers will send a
letter to all service clubs’ on the

matter and canvass business con-

cerns in the city immediately.

Seek Control

CHILTIWACK, BC, July 14 —
Prune growers of the district will
interview Hon. K. C. MacDonald,

minister of agriculture, and request
that marketing of their crop be
placed under control of the fruit
marketing board. This decision
was made at a meeting held un-
der auspices of Chilliwack Board
of Trade.

‘Statement

Should Be
Retracted’

Mothers’ Coun. Refutes
Mayor’s Statements In
Broadcast Made Last
Week

DEMANDS APOLOGY

Mayor G. C. Miller had noth-
ing to say when a letter from.
Vancouver Mothers’ Council
was read out at the meeting of
the city council last Monday,
refuting statements made by
the chief magistrate im a recent
broadeast in reference to the
mothers’ council and its rela-
tion to the struggle of single
unemployed men.

Ald. H. i. Corey, coming to the
Mayor's defense, stated ponder-
ously: “Fire is a great menace,
but riots are even greater. The
duty of a policeman is often un-
pleasant and apparently the
mothers’ council is trying to un-
dermine police authority, When
there are insinuations of police
frame-ups, these are impossible
statements to make.’

in a vigorous reply, Ald. #H.
Gutteridge defended the comunica-
tion, stating that the police had
eaused the riot and had broken
the law. “While I will admit the
mothers’ council members are not
political strategists, they are at
least fearless and honest, and fT
am proud to be able to state that
I was one of the original members
when the council was built during
the unemployed struggle of 1935,”
she said.

“I know of two Vancouver
mothers who do not agree with
the views of the mothers’ council,’’
Ald. DegravesS declared heatedly.
To this Ald. Gutteridge replied,
“You’d be surprised at the num-
ber of mothers who do accept
those views.”

CONDEUVEINS ASSERTIONS.

The letter was forthright in its
condemnation of the mayor's mis-
representations, exerpts reading:

“We can assure the mayor that
we shall fight untruth with truth
and therefore need never fear the
lay regarding libel, as he does.

“We are affiliated with the Local
Council of Women. We are abso-
lutely. non-partisan, non-sectarian.
We are giving this rebuttal of the
mayor’s falsehood wide publicity
here in Vancouver and over the
air in the state of Washington, in
an effort to have the correction
catch up with the lie.

“We assure his worship thaat we
are stanuch for law and order, and
cannot commend his own efforts to
shield police lawbreakers by lying
about an organization that stands
100 per cent. for truth, and de-
mands that the police thmeslves,
as well as others, be law-abiding.

“We feel that a public retraction
of his false statements is due us
from the mayor.’

Fund Established
To Defend Jobless

A fund for defense of the six
single unemployed arrested dur-
ing the post office eviction on
Bloody Sunday has been estab-
lished by Vancouver Mothers’
Council. The six will be tried at
the September Assize Court ,when
legal fees will have to be paid
to assure adequate defense.

Officers for the coming year
elected last week were: President,

Mrs. W. Ross; vice-president, Mrs. |
K.

Cowsill; secretary, Miss
Simpson; recording secretary, Mrs.

Ald. H. DeGraves announced that
he had “ineredible stories to re-

press to print them. Ald. John
Bennett retorted, “You can’t muz-

Ald. DeGraves replied, ““As editor
of a paper IT know what a news-
paper can do and what it can’t.”

“Eiditor of what?” Ald. Helena
Gutteridge derisively queried.

It was finally agreed that Ald.
Wilson’s point together with the
legal ruling on it, should be sub-
mitted to the council when it con-

Tells Of Chinese Struggle

Members of the legislature,

Guests of the evening were
James Bertram, New Zealand
Rhodes scholar, newspaper corres-
pondent and author of ‘‘First Act
in China; fan F. G Milner, writer
land lecturer and holder of the
Pacific Relations scholarship of
Qxford University; and Shih Kwan,
of the department of economics,
University of California. The three
were in Vancouver after a tour in
aid of China which took them to
all the important centres of the
United States.

“The Japanese people have no
democracy,’ Shih Kwan told the
audience. ‘‘Their will is not the will
of the ruling class. Their voice is
not heard in the thunder of the
| guns over China. But the military
elique will not last. Sooner or later

the voice of the people,

now, will be heard.”
Bertram spoke of the great need

for medical supplies in China.
“T have seen wounded soldiers
who had nothing more to bind
their wounds with than cotton
brought from the fields and boiled

There could, he said, be only one
solution to the present conflict in
China—the continued struggle of
the Chinese people for freedom.
The scene was a far different one
from that of a year ago: Today
there was the foundation of rep-
resentative government of an in-
creasingly democratic nature. The
army now was an army of the peo-
ple, united against the Japanese in-
waders.

Milner confined his remarks to
the necessity for effective applica-
tion of an embargo on export of
raw materials to Japan which, he
said, would starve the war machine
of its vital meeds, and use of the
boycott on Japanese goods to de-
prive Japan of necessary foreign
eredits.
