Ks YOUBOU
B.C. Forest Products, through
the company “fire brigade”, has in-
formed this community that the 630
residents living off and east of
company property “are obliged” to
install lake ramps and static tanks
to accommodate the company fire
truck. Estimated cost to residents
would be at least $4,000.
- The company also talks of
charging victims for use of the
fire truck; and indicates that in
event of a dual fire, the mill site
will be given first preference.
Since the company announced its
policy at a public meeting some
time ago, progressive members in
the community have organized a
volunteer fire brigade for blocks
J and 22, which enclose all the area

erty, and a movement is under
way to incorporate these blocks in-
to a village.

This attempt to incorporate the
blocks into a village has met with
opposition from Forest Products,
which seeks to intimidate citizens
through use of employees “close”
to the company.

A community meeting en Octo-
ber 14 heard the results of a peti-
tion campaign on incorporation. Of
the 362 adult residents, 305 signa-
tures favored incorporation, 57 op-
posed, and one resident abstained
from expressing any opinion.

Residents are aware that an in-
corporated village could retain suf-
ficient revenue, under the present
tax rate, to lay a portion of water
main annually until the project is
completed. At no extra cost to tax-

Youbou residents fight to incorporate village
after company demands $4000 fire expenditures

payers, fire protection would be
provided, and revenue would stay
in the community.

Other projects which would di-
rectly benefit include a PTA child-
ren’s playground and roller skat-
ing rink now under construction in
block 7 by voluntary labor. . In-
addition, independent merchants
would be encouraged to open
stores without fear of economic
squeeze by the company stores.

Many Youbou citizens hope that
the act Of incorporation can be
completed by January 1, 1950, so
that the fire protection project can
be_ started. Another community
meeting will be held in November
to hear a report of the “Fact Find-
ing Committee” on how much tax-
es Youbou pays, and the total cost
of constructing a water main.

“The party which you represent
in this byelection is the goverming
party, and as such bears the full
responsibility for cheapening of
* ,the Canadian dollar with all its
_ disastrous consequences for our
lumber, fish and agriculture indus-
tries.”

Rush charged in his letter that
devaluation would lead to loss of
markets for B.C. products and
hasten economic crises and mass
unemployment.

Quoting

from the statement

‘Mott challenged by Rush
to debate on dev

William Mott, Royal City business man ani Liberal candidate in the New Westminster federal
byelection, October 24, this week was challenged by Maurice Rush, LPP candidate, to debate
the Liberal party’s stand on devaluation.

: In an open letter addressed to Mott, Rush stated:

NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C.

Prime Minister St. Laurent made
on May 31 this year, that “devalu-
ation would make Anglo-Canadian
trade more difficult, increase the
general cost of living and benefit
these gold mines which need least
help,” Rush declared that the Lib-
erals had now made a complete
about-face. “The only conclusion
the public can draw,” he said to
Mott, “is that you and the Liber-

als now support policies which
make Anglo-Canadian trade more
difficult, increase the cost of liv-

The LPP election committee has
rented the Legion Hall, New West-

open letter to the Liberal candidate
Rush proposed that -the proceeds
of the meeting be contributed to
the crippled children’s fund. In the
event that Mott refused to debate,

the meeting, which was to be held
Thursday this week, was to heart
Rush’s proposals for fighting de-
valuation and particularly its ef-
