The Burnaby Committee. of the Communist Party said in a leaflet to homeowners that an adequate sewerage program for Burnaby is long overdue,- but that taxpayers cannot carry the burden of financing such a pro- gram as is needed. It said. a small part of ‘the money wast- ed on the Avro-Arrow would complete Burnaby’s entire sewer project.

(it)shas complete control from the*beginning un- til the product ends upon the table of the consumer.” Vertical integration thus dif- fers ‘from ‘the older system of contracting only in that the farmer used ‘to supply his own seed, stock and ‘feed. It makes for ‘inereased efficiency al- right, and a ‘lower cost of pro- duction perhaps, but vertical integration is a scheme through«which the benefits are: skimmed off ‘for the monopol- ies instead of going to the far- mer, An ‘interesting -sidelight on how: vertical integration works out ‘in practice was unwitting- ly given in a recent edition of the Bank of Nova Scotia’s Ag- ricultural Review. It reported that‘in the ease of broilers, the poultry farmer gets 2c to 3c per ‘pound ‘less for meat, pay- ing an extra cent more per chick for starting ‘stock, and $2 to $3 per ‘ton’ more for :feed. says P-TA Teacher Federation was held In its three days of deliber- ation the convention touched on all matters affecting educa- tion. Fifteen resolutions were debated along with various by- laws and ‘standing rules. A budget was adopted, officers were elected and three main speeches given. Outstanding among the reso- lutions passed was the emer- gency one presented by the School. Finance Committee. This resolution noted that “an increasing number of class- rooms and other ‘facilities must be provided immediately ‘for the rapidly growing ‘school population in order to avoid congested classrooms or swing shifts.” It urged that the Provincial | government “arrange for the sale of School Board deben- tures . ... not later than six months after . .. ratepayers per ton more for feed. - Certainly. an effective de- vice for the monopolies, but for the farmer nothing. short The 38th annual convention of the B.C.
