Another meeting in Sonne s
Lochdale Hall Saturday night
heard former leader and present
CP chairman Nigel Morgan recall
the gains of the communist
movement in the years since the
revolution. ‘‘Sixty years ago, only
one socialist country existed,”
Morgan said. ‘“‘There were less
than 450,000 communists in the
whole world.

“Today there are 104 Communist
Parties with over 60 million
members. The communist

movement is the most representa-
tive and decisive force anywhere.”

Alsoon Saturday night about 500
people jammed into the Russian
Hall in Vancouver for the banquet
and dance in honor of the an-
niversary organized by the
Federation of Russian Canadians
and the Association of United

Cont'd from pg. 2

As far as I’m concerned, if the
B.C. Lions want a new and better
stadium they can damn well build
and pay for it themselves, and I
wouldn’t be at all unhappy if they
tookitaway from the PNE grounds
and put it in some other area, such
as the flat open area between
Burnaby and Deer Lakes in
Burnaby.

To compensate ‘the people who
live in the PNE area for all the
inconvenience caused them by the

_traffic and noise, the report coyly

suggests ‘‘the creation of delightful
park areas within the PNE
grounds,”’ that the residents could
use!

I have always felt and have
always advocated that the PNE
should serve the public and not
private sports or other promoters.
I believe it has great potential as
an entertainment and educational
centre and that it could operate on
ayear round basis for the benefit of
the people of B.C. and whatever
tourists it may attract.

The exhibits, however, should
not be cheap American-type ersatz
amusements but genuine exhibits
that reflect the life of B.C. — the
various industries. (logging,
mining, fishing, farming, pulp and
paper, hydro dams, railways,

serve peoples’ needs

manufacturing etc); exhibits that
reflect the kinds of communities in

which our people live; exhibits that .

reflect the diverse ethnic nature of
our population; reflect the
topography of the country. To take
tours through such exhibits would
not only be educational for our
children, it would be educational
and entertaining for all our
citizens.

Furthermore the preparation of
these exhibits should be done in
B.C. “by. BCs
wherever possible by the residents
and workers in the industries and
communities depicted.

This type of PNE would make it

residents and.

a real Pacific Peoples’ Exhibition
that would be a credit to the
province and to Canada.

The problem of traffic could, I
am sure, be effectively solved by
light rapid transit, underground if
necessary, with all private cars
banned from the PNE area except
those of residents in the
surrounding areas.

We cannot afford to allow
promoters to turn the PNE into a
year-round Coney Island or to
allow the PNE board to build
facilities for them that could run
into hundreds of millions of dollars

- (don’t forget the Montreal Olympic

scandal!) at public expense.
