Housing reaching crisis

VANCOUVER (CP) —_
There scon could be
“substantial social disor-
der" unless all levels. of
government move quickly
to ease the Vancouyer-area

erisis, Vancouver
Mayor Mike Harcourt
warned Sunday.

“Im not suggesting that
there will be rioting in the
streets,” Harcourt said in
an interview after a onedlay
hearing on housing spon-
sored by’ the New
Democratic Party.

“But there will be a great
deal of anger reflecting
itself in more demon-
strations, in people refusing
to get out of buildings from
which they have been
evicted, and in battles at the
rentalaman's office."

To meet Vancouver's 1961
goal of 2,250 non-profit and
cooperative units, Harcourt -
called for a §30-million noa-
profit housing fund from all
three levels of government
along with ‘creative zoning
changes” for singlefamily
areas such as secondary
suites and small scale tow-
nhouse developments.

Several renters’
associations told the
hearing that the demolition

rent controls and con-
versions of rental housing to

payments to two people to

disgrace," said Margaret
Duncan of the Red Door
Rental Aid Society.

Workers

VANCOUVER (CP) —
The attempt to unionize
B.C. farmworkers is like the
California campaign fought
by the United Farm
Workers of America, says
California organizer Cesar

Chavez.

“Farmworkers ceased to
be faceless people and were
given back their God-given
dignity, equality and the
right to participate in
society," Chavez told about
400 persons altending a
benefit Saturday for the
Canadian Farmworkers
Union.

Meanwhile, the Greater

The farmworkers’ Job is
“crucially important,’ said
Chavez. “They are a very

with the skill of their hands
and the ache of their backs
work so people can eat, and,
get their jobs done. .-

“as they do work to feed -
you, let's help them feed
themselves. "

' Meanwhile, the union beld
talks with a small grower
and signed a voluntary
contract Sunday, providing
a 2%to i0per-cent wage
increasefor 15 ta20 workers
this season.

Union secretary Charan
Gill said the ctatract, the
second negotiated by the
union, eliminates the

takes a large cut from
