Govt. Has No Policy

For Housing---Rush*

Charging that the proposals
advanced by the Tory-Liberal
Coalition ‘for construction of new
homes in British Columbia is
nothing more than a farce, Mau-
rice Rush, LPP candidate for Van-
couver Center, told a meeting of

Canadian Hebrew Active Club
members, Tuesday night, that
“the present government pro-
gram will finance construction of
a mere 115 homes at $4,000
each.”

This, Rush stated, and chal-
lenged Dr. Weir, coalition speak-
er at the meeting, to prove oth-
erwise, is the sum total of coali-
tion plans no matter how ‘far-
reaching they may attempt to
make them appear.

Vancouver alone

needs

20,-

000 homes immediately and yet
the coalition government failed
to take advantage of the offer

made by federal authorities that
finances for home construction
would be forthcoming provided
local authorities adopted enab-
ling legislation and set up .a
provincial housing authority.

The Labor-Progressive party
program to meet the housing
crisis calls for immediate estab-
lishment of a provincial housing
authority which would plan large
scae ow renta home construction.
In addition, Rush proposed the
initiation of a provincial bond
drive to raise 80 million dollars
to build 20,000 homes at’ $4,000
each.

Drive Starts

Vancouver’s National Clothing
Collection will begin officially on
October 15 and -will be conduct-
ed by large groups of women’s
organizations. In districts where
the “Block Plan” is already. or-
ganized the Women’s Voluntary
Services (WVS) will be in charge
of collection depots. z

Over 400 sub-depots will as-
semble the collected items which
should be used, but serviceable
clothing, shoes and bedding.

Vancouver’s quota is “500,000

ed that this amount will be col-

akia, Russia, Denmark and Po-
land.

Vancouverites are asked to go
through their wardrobes before
Monday and give everything
which will not be of use to them-
selves. “Would I wear this if I
were cold and hungry?” is the
question to ask regarding every
garment or pair of shoes. Shoes
should be fastened firmly togeth-
er in pairs.
