Rock Bay
wants road

CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C.

For the past 10 years residents
of Rock Bay have been forced to
use an abandoned indusirial road
as their only outlet connecting
Rock Bay with Sayward Road
junction, a distance of nearly 12
miles. In these 12 miles there are
nine bridges, all of which have
been condemned, while the, road
itself has long ‘been in a state of:
disrepair.

Now residents are demanding
that the Bennett government,
which this week was boasting of
its road-building record, undertake
the necessary work to bring the
Rock Bay road up to the standard
of a secondary highway.

In a brief and petition to be
presented to the government this
week by a delegation headed by I:
F. Mortenson, residents point out
that all mail now has to go via
Vancouver because Rock Bay has
no direct road connection with Is-
land centres.

They also point to the prob-
lem faced by parents of school-age
children. Rock Bay school closed
down before the end of last term
because there were ‘too few pupils
to justify its remaining open, but
parents have no way of sending
their children to the adjacent
school district except by a road
which the Rock Bay Petition Com-
mittee describes as “a menace to
the safety of life and property.”

At Pacific Tribune press time,
officials of Seafarers’ Interna-
tional Union (AFL) and Union
Steamships were meeting with
federal labor conciliator George
Curre in a second attempt to end
the strike over wage and other
issues which has tied up Union
Steamships’ coastwise fleet.

Stating they would continue to
respect SIU picket lines, mem-
bers of the International Union
of Longshoremen and Ware-
housemen (CCL) are refusing to
load cargo at Coastwise Pier
Ltd., adjoining Union Steam-
ships, despite a Supreme Court
injunction restraining the SIU
from declaring Coastwise cargo
“hot.”
