University of British Colum-
bia “Cinderella Kids’ who won
world wide attention when they
triumphed against England in
the British Empire Games, thrill-
ed the sports world again last
week when they. defeated the
Red Banner crew from the So-
viet Union (left) at Henley last
week. The UBC eight lost to
University of Pennsylvania by a
few feet ‘in the final.

Although the London dock
strike prevented Red Banner
from receiving their shell until
just before the big race, the Rus-
sian crew made no excuses for
their defeat, and immediately
after the race rushed over to
congratulate the UBC boys.
Through interpreters, they ask-
ed questions about the Cana-
training methods, how
long the crew had been together
and other details.

Against mighty Penn the UBC
crew were a bit “off form,” ac-
cording to their coach, Frank

Effie charges PUC

evading fare issue

Efhe Jones this week charged the Public Utilities Commission with avoiding her
demand that it order a six-month cutback in BCER transit fares. She made her charge
in a letter to PUC chairman H. F. Angus, which she is also circulating to all MLAs in

the Greater Vancouver area.

“The B.C. Electric is a public utility regulated by government authority, and since

the PUC made an illegal decision
granting higher fares, public auth-
orities now have a responsibility
to see to it that monies collected
under *such ‘an illegal order are
returned to the public,” Mrs. Jones
had written in her previous: letter.

PUC secretary H. W. Mellish
replied that a hearing would be
necessary before the PUC could
alter transit fares, and such 1a hear-
ing would have -to determine
whether fares were “unjustly high
or unjustly low.”

In her letter to Angus, Mrs.
Jones said: -

“T asked the PUC to take action
to correct ‘an illegal situation made
by the PUIC which cost the transit-
using public $900,000 in ‘higher
fares which were collected by the
B.C. Electric.

“J should like again to draw to
the attention of the PUC the
grounds on which the Appeal Court
disallowed the fare increase: ‘That
the PUC after the conclusion of
the ‘hearings obtained further and
relevant material and acted upon
it without affording the opportuni-

‘ty for the right of cross-examina-

tion.’

‘Tt is clear from this that the
invalidated
the PUC decision was taken before
the decision was made and before
the higher fares went into effect.
In, other words, the $900,000 col-
lected ‘by the B.C. Electric was
taken during the life of an illegal

illegal: action which

PUC order.

“In view of this situation, it ds
the contention of the Civic Reform
Association that thes PUC should
take measures to return to the
citizens monies taken from them
by a private utility company under

an illegal order of the PUC.

“1 did not anywhere in-my let-
ter ask that the present fare
structure be reopened under Sec-
tion 20 of the Public Utilities
Act. The issue involved here is
snot the fare structure of the
transit system and the PUC is
merely dodging the issue by at-
tempting to make it that. 1
again urged the PUC to recon-

sider this matter.”

Harris echoes U.S.

hostility

Czech consul-general
calls for friendship

TORONTO

“Little. Czechoslovakia,” a lovely summer campground
alongside the river at Streetsville, near Toronto, was the scene
of a colorful celebration on June 26. More than 2,500 Czecho-
slovak-Canadians—many of them recent immigrants—took part
in a Canada Day ceremony. marking both the 10th anniversary

of the liberation of Czechoslovakia
and of the acquisition of the camp.

Under the banners “Long Live
the Peace and Brotherhood of Na-
tions” and “For Canadian-Czecho-
slovak Friendship,”
dancers from Southern Ontario

points put on the finest concert
seen at the camp in years,

Most of the participants were
second and third generation Cana-
dians — illustrating the growing
strength of the organization and
the feeling of identity vith Canada
as well as Czechoslovakia which
was so frequently expressed in
speeches from the platform.

Bondrich .Hruska, Czechoslovak
consul-general, appealed for
stronger cultural and economic ties
between the two countries to
strengthen peace. ;

Those who were’ working
against such friendly relations
were endangering the interests
of Canada as weil as of Czecho-
slovakia, he declared.

Mlustrating how his country is
working towards winning friend-
lier relations, he spoke of the re-
cent trade fair and ‘of the exhibi-
tion of photographs of Czechoslo-
vak Shakespearean productions
which ‘had been sent for, display at
the Stratford Festival.

Hruska extended a cordial in-
vitation to Canadian artists to visit
his country, saying how welcome
had been the Canadian hockey
team that played in Prague dast
winter.

By contrast, Finance Minister
Walter Harris, addressing another
Czechoslovak rally there last Sun-
day, echoed the hostile view fre-

singers and.

quently voiced by spokesmen for -

the Eisenhower administration.
He told Czechs and Slovaks gath-
ered for a festival commemorating
Czechoslovak Day that they “must
strive to regain freedom” for
Czechoslovakia, contending that if
what he conceived of as “free”
élections were ‘held, the present
government would be defeated.
