Get run-around
At Fraserview

Resident home owners in the

Fraserview area are looking in vain

to the CCF and to federal authorities for effective protection against
the dictatorial methods of appropriating their property practised by

Central Mortgage and Housing Company.

Parliament and discussions with
Angus MacInnis, CCF MP for Van-
couver East, Fraserview home
owners find their future an un-
certain one,

“MacInnis doesn’t give us any

help, and Central Housing authori-
ties have changed their plans three
or four times,” residents told
Viola Bianco, LPp provincial can-
didate in Vancouver East, when
she personally canvassed the en-
tire Fraserview district this week.

Mrs. Bianco is carrying on a
campaign against the arbitrary
expropriation methods
by Central Housing in the area.

“People are getting thoroughly
fed up with the old-line politician
who thinks he can run the whole
show with a dime-a-dozen creden-
tials in complete disregard for the
people’s needs. And they are get-
ting just as fed up with the same
machine tactics of the top leader-
ship of the CCF, which insisted on
running a candidate against me,
thus splitting the labor vote.

“It shows that the people are go-
ing to have the final word despite
shameful machine politics which
have promoted those who are be-
traying the people’s interests to
the warmongers, the sales taxers,
the union-busters and labor-haters.
The people want a change, and
they’re not likely to get it from
those who adopt the machine dom-
ination and self-seeking policies of
the Coalition and misrepresent
them to the voters as the means
to peace and progress.”

“Burned out” of two dwelling
places and: now residing in a
wood franié structure canted~ at

a 45 degree angle, Mrs. Irene Dill,
crusading leader of Ottawa and
District Tenants’ Protective Lea-
gue, is still defiant in her demand
that the federal government pro-
vide the decent housing it promised
during the war years.

Her militancy is fortified by the
fact that some 800 Ottawans have
registered with the League since
its formation a short three weeks
ago. Numerous delegations have

been formed to meet federal and
local officers.

Chief aims of the organization
are to prevent evictions, demand
alternative housing accomodation
in the form of emergency dwell-
ings, and finally to call for con-
struction of “at least 100 houses
this summer,”

Civic authorities, headed by a
Tory mayor, have bluntly declar-
ed that “there is nothing we
can do” to the League's urging |
that they demand housing relief
