August 25, 1939 THE PEGPLSE’ Ss ADVOCATE ‘YOU CAN’T GET AWAY WITH MURDER’ Outcome of Events Racing To Clim Europe Will Affect Whole of Humanity By WILLIAM RIGBY It becomes necessary to give the time when articles are written. AS the People’s Advocate goes to press and these lines are penned it is 6 pm, Thursday, August 24, and events are racing on to a great climax whose outcome will affect the whole of humanity, will determine the contours of our future lives and the future of our children. ax In E I was listening to H.

The provincial government has intimated that it will not buy ad- ditional land on the North Shore for development of a park and has refused to commence work on major development of Hollyburn and Grouse Mountain until sure of a clear field. The problem of watersheds is the only stumbling block in the creation of a gigantic all-year- round park on the North Shore. Meanwhile, a crew of 100 men under direction of the provincial forestry department has com- menced building a road to link the city directly with ski grounds on Seymour Mountain. Another crew is working on Grouse Mountain trails, making a bridle path and improving the ski area. North Vancouver has completed a trail to connect Grouse Moun- tain ski village with the chalet, while West Vancouver has been working on improvement on the existing trails on Hollyburn. Officials of the Ski Promotion committee feel that the end of the summer will see some amicable solution to the problem of water- shed difficulties, opening the way for commencement of work on the proposed huge North Shore play- ground. Plan Forum For Youth Peace, unemployment and educa- tion will be the main points of Van- couver Youth council’s program for the coming year as outlined by President John Jopson last week. A youth activity survey, econduct- ed along the lines of previous unem-— ployment surveys, has been planned for Grandview area. Cultural and recreational needs of Grandview youth will be investigated and then possibilities of community centre activities considered. Council will also press for an ac- tive rehousing program made pos- sible under fhe Dominion Housing act. Aided by the University of British Columbia, the Youth council will establish a school of political sci- ence in Vancouver, and a political forum conducted in which all sides ef political battles can be heard. Young citizens will then have an opportunity to hear and study the aims of each political party.
