Jobs for young people

proposals put to gov

} Proposals for providing jobs
before

The delegation was “heartened”

NFLY provincial secretary.

The brief argued that jobs could.
be provided through a public works
program to include roads, schools,

hospitals, recreational facilities and|

so forth. It called for pressure on

the federal government for a large- |

scale public housing program.

In addition, it urged that new
industries be developed in B.C. for
processing the raw materials into
finished goods? The delegation ask-
ed for sending of trade missions
to Commonwealth countries and
all other countries that would trade
with Canada. d

The preamble to the presen-
tation pointed to the special ef-
fects of unemployment on young
People. [t+ said that young peo-
ple were among the first to be
hit by layoffs, that many of them
did not have sufficient unemploy-
ment insurance, that they were
becoming dependent on charity

or on relatives, .

The NFLY argued that unemploy- |.

ment was not merely seasonal. but
a result of “a definite slowdown in
the tempo of production throughout
B.C.”. They castigated attempts to
minimize the number of unemploy-

_ ed, especially the failure of the
Unemployment Insurance Commis-
sion to give full reports.

While placing its main emphasis
on providing jobs for young people,
the brief asked that young unem-
ployed be allowed to draw benefits

for unemp

“One of the main ways a coun-

its youth,” the brief concluded.
“There is no need in B.C. to re-
turn to the Hungry Thirties. The

incial government was made this
week by Labor Minister Lyle Wicks
whose department is responsible
for their administration.

Wicks called the present con-
trols an “injustice” to landlords
and said that to some it was a ter-
rible burden. He said, however,
that complete removal of controls
would cause a large amount of dis-
location because of tenants trying
to find lower priced accommoda-
tion. {

The government, he added, was
studying legislation dealing with
rental controls and hoped to. pre-
sent it at the present session.
Wicks’ statement, regarded as
“kite-flying” to test public opin-
ion, came some time after a slash-
ing attack on rent controls by

[Sees are not uncommon in

boxing, but few fans expected
‘to see Jimmy Carter lose his light-
weight crown to Paddy DeMarco.
At the beginning of the year Car.
ter was lauded as “the cream of
the crop” in his division while

in the authoritative Ring selec-
tions. s :

Paddy, who usually just walks
in swinging and often gets clip-
ped for his pains, played it smart
against Jimmy, a notoriously slow
starter. He pecked and outpoint-
ed the champ for five rounds,
while Carter patiently waited for
him to run out of steam. When
the champ finally stepped up the
pace, Paddy was right there with
him, and Carter suddenly realiz-
ed his crown was slipping. He
tried hard for a knockout in the
last rounds but the challenger re-

| sisted an impulse to mix it too

freely and copped a unanimous

decision and the coveted cham-

Square Garden the so-called
heavyweight challenger, Nino
Valdes of Cuba, was roundly
booed by fight filberts for ‘his
performance against one James, J.
Parker. Called the “most im-
proved fighter of 1953” because
of a win over Ezzard Charles, the
big Cuban was expected to flatten
Parker but failed to land even
one damaging punch, though he
had no trouble taking the deci-
sion in the molasses-slow bout.

Medal for honesty “above and

amateur playing it straight.

Now don’t get me wrong. Pro-
fessional wrestling when proper-
ly classed as entertainment, is ex-
citing and good for plenty of
laughs. The customer - usually
leaves the arena feeling that he
has got his money’s worth.

But wrestling, as a sport, be-
longs to the amateurs. It isn’t as
“exciting” as the burlesque you
see on TV or at the pro shows,
but it is at least on the level.
And, like any scientific sport, 'the
better you understand it the more
you enjoy it.
