(P to oppose airport

sale at city hearing

“Sale of Vancouver’s international airport as proposed
by some city aldermen would mean a further tax load for

our citizens,” said Harold Pritchett, city secretary of the

Communist Party Wednesday night.

‘With the coming of the jet
age Vancouver’s international
airport grows in importance as
a vital link with all capital
cities of the world,” he said.
“Tt will be but a short time
until high speed jet liners will
be flying in and out of our air-
port to London, New York,
Moscow, Tokyo, Peking and
other large centres.

business interests such as the|
CPR and real estate companies,
the NPA-CVA city council pro-
poses to sell our airport to the
federal government.

“Now with the airport show-
ing a substantial profit each
year since 1950, this is not the
time to sell it. According to re-
cent B.C. Research - Council
figures, “the operating profits
before debt charges (meaning
six million as. Vancouver’s
share of 10 million required for
buildings) would be $772,000
by 1968, would rise to $901,000
by 1965 and would reach $2.47
millions by 1980.

“There are those on city
eouncil who would nand it
over to the federal govern-
ment for practically a song,
notwithstanding the fact the
people rejected the sale by
plebiscite in 1954.

“The Communist Party along
with many labor and other
citizens organizations will
make representation to the
special public hearing called
by city council on the morning
of June 30,” Pritchett con-
cluded.

DEFICIENCY PAYMENTS

The federal government has
now distributed its first defici-
ency payment on eggs—for the
first quarter of ©1960. It

;amounts to 8c per dozen on a

maximum of 1000 dozen which
means that the most any pro-
ducer could receive was $80
Many, of course, will receive
less. This small deficiency pay-
ment will do little to alleviate
the plight of the small pro-
ducer who depends on the sale
of eggs for his living. Ottawa’s
decision last fall to drop its
floor price supports on eggs
and to throw eggs on the open
market caused a drastic drop
in prices. As a result many
small producers. have: their
backs against the wall and are
threatened with bankruptcy.
$80 or less won’t do much to
save them. ’
Figures released indicate
that 1764 farmers registered in
B.C. for deficiency payments.
Of these 714 had below 500
birds. (It is estimated that 500
birds produce approximately
4000 dozen eggs a year and the
government’s deficiency pay-
ment-scheme is based on a
maximum of 4000 dozen grade
A large eggs per year).
Three hundred and _ forty-

Six hundred and ninety-five
had between 1000-10,000.

Eleven had
layers.

The category of 695 who
had between 1000 and 18,000
layers is the category which is
the hardest hit. Most of them
depend upon eggs for a living,
and it is estimated that it takes
about 5000 hens to make a liv-
ing nowadays from eggs:

If deficiency payments are
to remain government policy,
then the following should be
done:

(a) Raise the prescribed
price of 33c so that it covers
not only the cost of production
but a reasonable profit.

(b) The payments should be
not between the national aver-
age price and the prescribed
price, but between the regional
price and the prescribed price.

(c) The quantity of eggs on
which payment is made should
be raised from 4000 dozen

over 10,000
