ivic leaders say
ack the Tribune

HARRY RANKIN
ALDERMAN

As a long time reader of the
Pacific Tribune | can assure
citizens of Vancouver that there
is no better paper from which to
gain an understanding of the
“true” nature of civic politics.
The Tribune has provenitself over
the years to beaconsistent sup-
porter of the interests of working
people against the land
developers and business inter-
ests who continue to dominate

civic affairs in Vancouver.

I trust and hope that working
people throughout Vancouver
willread the Tribune in greater
numbers, and give their support
to make the financial drive a
success.

MARK MOSHER

SCHOOL TRUSTEE

In my opinion the “Tribune” is
indispensable to anyone in public
life. It keeps one posted on all
aspects of life as related to the
needs and aspirations of us work-
ing people.

The Trib works diligently for
the just causes of workers,
farmers and the legitimate griev-
ances of professional and white
collar workers. Do yourself a
favour and subscribe to and sup-
port the Pacific Tribune.

leaves port

The Children’s Committee of
Canadian Aid for Vietnam
Civilians announced last week
that shipment 40 left for
Vietnam Thursday, March 29
aboard the Soviet freighter ‘‘Ho
Chi Minh”’ from Vancouver.

Mrs. Sheila Young said ina
press release that ‘‘though
mercifully relieved of the
hazards of war, the children of
Indochina’ suffer extreme
physical handicaps and hard
ships from its aftermath. They
will need help inevery form for
many years to come.”

She said that realizing this,
supporters of Canadian Aid for
Vietnam Civilians Children’s
Committee contributed in the
past two months sufficient
goods and cash to send the
following items in last week’s
shipment:

3,334 items of children’s
garments, blankets and
bandages; 230 yards of clothing
material, sewing accessories,
surgical supplies; medical books
and eye glasses witha combined
worth of $9,561.

The latest shipment brings the
total value of the 40 shipments
forwarded since 1966 to $224,000.

In a further appeal for support,
Mrs. Sheila Young said:

‘*Among the thousands of child
casualties in North and South
Vietnam there are a pitifully

. large number of amputees.

During the war it was impossible
for many to receive adequate
treatment and prostheses.

“The Children’s Committee of
CAVC is making an urgent
appeal for funds to assist in
rehabilitating these tragic vic-
tims whose disabilities cause
them to suffer continual mental
anguish and bodily limitations.

‘In Vietnam children com-
prise 50 per cent of the entire
population. Apart from the
natural, emotional effect of the
disaster which has befallen
them, it is obvious that the
provision of limbs to enable the
crippled to become useful
citizens is a pressing social and
economic necessity.”

WARD SYSTEM

Cont'd from pg. 2

if corruption was rampant then,
it was because the Establish-
ment made it so and subverted
its real purpose which was to
serve the people of the neigh-
bourhoods. From 1936-72 the
NPA was in office, but the
developers were in the saddle.
We had 36 years of give-aways
which is just another form of
corruption on a grand scale.
That is what we want to get rid
of now with a ward system
genuinely representative of the
many communities in this city
as proposed by COPE.

I hope that the public hearings
being held by City Council on the
ward system from April 5 to
June 22 will be well attended and
that citizens will speak up fora
good ward system.

| Vietnam aid Should opt out of Norad
city conference decides

‘Can we afford Norad?”’ was
the theme of a conference
Saturday, March 31 at the
Unitarian Church in Vancouver
which was attended by 60 people.
Sponsored by the Voice of
Women and the Peace Action
League, the parley adopted a
resolution calling for an end to
Norad.

An appeal was made to all
participants to write letters to
government members and MPs
urging that Canada opt out of
Norad when renewal of the agree-
ment comes up in May.

Buck supplement
next week's PT

Next week’s issue of the PT
will be a 16 page paper with a

four page supplement on Tim °

-Buck. The issue will contain
selections from Buck’s writings,
special articles, biographical
materials, and tributes from
fraternal Communist parties.

It will be a very important
issue for our readers, who will
undoubtedly want to keep it, and
also have extra copies to give to
their friends. Orders for the
special issue should be in the PT
office no later than Monday,
April9.

Professor Phillip Resnick of
the UBC political science depart-
ment, traced the history of
Canada’s involvement from the
beginning of the cold war up to
the present. He indicated that
although the radar installations
in Canada’s north are obsolete,
the government will quietly
renew the treaty and ‘‘let
sleeping dogs lie’’ rather than
stir up debate on the subject.

It was made abundantly clear
that Canada’s self respect
demands that the treaty not be
renewed and the danger of our
being involvedin U.S. military
adventures is very real as
demonstrated at the time of the
Cuban missile crisis.

The afternoon session was
devoted to a talk by Hilary
Brown on ‘‘Canada’s Role —
Sattelite or Peacemaker’ in
which she pointed out the
difficulty of trying to be both,
Vietnam being a case in point.

Karen Sandford, MLA for
Courtenay, who chaired both ses-
sions, mentioned her close
proximity to Comox where
planes, which may or may not
carry nuclear weapons, are
constantly overhead.
