The council meeting which
handed the juicy contract to the
U.S. firm had only five aldermen
present. Mayor Fred Hume, Al-
dermen Halford Wilson, Birt
Showler and Earle Adams were
out of town at the time.

Park Board, which has the
authority to maintain and man-
age all parks, will thresh out the
issue at a committee meeting this
coming Monday. There is a legal
possibility the board could block
council’s decision by refusing to
turn over Riley Park as the site
of the pool.

voicing on the floor of the House
the feelings most people give
vent to in their own homes after
a particularly frustrating experi-
ence with the telephone company.
But Strachan’s grumbling had
a pertinent point.

It seemed, he said, that wher-
ever anyone anywhere in the
province wanted phone service
“some joker sitting behind a
desk in Chicago” determined
whether or not he would get it.
And Strachan contrived to convey
the impression that the “joker

With 10,000 registered jobless in Vancouver at the present time and an equal
number unemployed throughout the province, government officials publicly voice “‘satis-
faction” because these figures are slightly lower than those of September 1952. This
front-office. optimism is intended to conceal the fact that both the government and
private employers are aware that a looming industrial crisis will throw additional thous-
ands of workers onto the streets before the end of the year.

This is precisely the point that
Sidney Zlotnik, the Labor-Pro-
gressive party’s candidate for
Vancouver-Burrard in the recent
federal election, made at the
phone rate hearings before the
Board of Transport Commission-
ers earlier this year.*

Zlotnik has now laid a com-
plaint before the federal Com-
bines Investigation Committee
asking for an inquiry into
the operations of 11 companies,
including the B.C. Telephone
