Mowers hits cynical attitude to jobless REVELSTOKE, B.C.—“Neither Liberals, Conservatives or Social Credit ‘will solve the unemployment crisis,” LPP candi- date “Sandy” Mowers told an audience whihch filled the Civic Hall here to capacity at an all-candidate meeting last week. This lumber and railroad centre has been hard hit by the crisis in lumber and the CPR’s removal of firemen from diesel locomotives. The election forum was sponsored by the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Firemen and Engineers, and candidates from the five political parties contesting the Okanagan Revelstoke riding had been invited to speak. Mowers advocated trade with China to boost lumber exports’ and create jobs for lumber workers. He charged the daily papers in B.C. with “attempts to sway public opinion in favor of the CPR bosses in the firemen’s dispute.” During the question period a young man in the audience asked the Liberal and Con- servative speakers why U.S. workers were brought~ into Ontario to do certain jobs, ’ with the support of the Lib- eral and Conservative parties. The Liberal candidate had no answer, but the Conserva- tive speaker — a stand-in for the Conservative candidate, who did not appear — replied to the questioner: “My only - advice to young workers in B..C. is that they should go east.” Mowers, a pipeline construc- tion worker, ripped into this argument. “We have 40 miles of 30- inch pipe stockpiled at Kam- loops,” he said. “We must build pipelines to service this province, because we have one of the world’s greatest oil reserves in the Peace River area.

This is what I call a fine example of passing the buck.” Forum discusses vouth problems Confidence that young peo- ple “would face up to and solve new problems facing man- kind in the Sputnik age’? was expressed by three youthful’ speakers at the LPP Labor Forum in Pender Auditorium on Sunday this week. The speakers were 15-year- ‘old Lynne Johnson, a high school student; Monica Sam- uelson, provincial secretary of the Socialist Youth League; and Jim, McFarlan, UBC stu- dent. - PATRONIZE CEDAR FUEL & TRANSFER Phone: 566-R-3 Cedar, B.C.
