Take over gas pipeline,
LPP urges Frost gov

The Ontario committee of the Labor-Progressive party has addressed a demand to Premier Leslie
Frost that the province take over the natural gas pipeline in Ontario.
taking delivery of natural gas at the Manitoba-Ontario border and setting uv a commission similar to the
Ontario Hydro Power Commission to build the pipeline through the province and sell the gas to local

distributors.

The committee also went on re-
cord in favor of the northern route
for the pipeline, following the
Trans-Canada Highway through the
northern clay belt rather than the
CPR line along the shores of Lake
Superior. :

“We stand for the opening up

_ of the of the Ontario north coun-
try as a major project in the
development of Canada and we
believe the gas pipeline, routed
along the northern clay belt, can
play a big. part in helping to
open it up,” said Stewart Smith,

LPP provincial leader.»

Premier Frost was asked to con-
vene a special fall session of the
Ontario legislature to act on the
unemployment emergency ,the gas
pipeline and to plaee Ontario on
record for an All-Canadian Sea-
way.

“Ontario can no longer remain
silent,” J. B. Salsberg, MPP, de-
clared, “With the split in the na-
tional leadership of the Conserva-

- tive Party on this crucial issue, the

Caron LPP choice
in North Vancouver

“The Social Credit government has failed the people of this
province by continuing the Coalition policy of selling out our national
resources to U.S. trusts,” said Charlie Caron, accepting nomination
here as Labor-Progressive candidate for North Vancouver provincial

constituency.

“The Socred government’s dis-
regard for people’s interests is
shown by the school crisis, lack
of social and municipal aid, and
the deepening economic crisis
about which they are doing noth-
ing,” Caron continued.

The LPP candidate advanced
this program:

on its choice of Caron as candidate
and stressed the necessity at this
time “to elect representatives
whose only interest is the welfare
of the people of this province, the
development of B.C. for her peo-
ple and the halting of the sellout
to U.S. interests.”

Caron drew a parallel between
the present time and that earlier
period in Canadian history when
the great fight was waged for Con-
federation and responsible govern-
ment. “Now as then it is neces-
sary to fight for Canadian indepen-
dence and a policy to put Canada
first,” he said.

Stoney Indians
oppose gov't
highway deal |

CALGARY

Council of the Stoney Indians at
Morley, west of this city, has
vetoed an attempt by federal auth-

orities to route the Trans-Canada,

Highway through: the reserve with-
out consulting the Morley band.

Plans for the highway that would
cut the Stony reserve in half were

without any prior discussion.

Indignation ran high among the
Indians at this violation of their
long-standing treaty rights. The
council, governing body of the In-
dians, unanimously passed a reso-
lution opposing “the proposed new
route of the Trans-Canada High-
way crossing or entering the boun-
daries of the Stoney reserve.”

Feeling of the whole band was
expressed by Eddie Hunter, chair-
man of the meeting, who said:
“They cannot put the road through.
They can go fish in the ocean.”

-Only a federal order-in-council
can override the Morley council’s
ban on the highway and Hunter
has defied the government to pass
it over the objections of the In-

Action by the federal officials
is a direct violation of guarantees
made to the Indians when the re-
serves were set up under the treaty
of 1877. '

Dave Wittig, Calgary Labor-Pro-
gressive party spokesman, has urg-
ed protests to Ottawa asking that
the government undertake to pro-
tect treaty rights and 0 make sure
that no development takes place
without the consent of the Stoney
people.

He also asked that adequate com-
pensation be made in lands and
money for any land taken by mu-
