This plan was soundly rejected for what it is, a callous attempt to place the burden for the costs of edu- cation on the backs of the peo- ple and as an attempt to further reserve accessibility .to higher education for the wealthy. Various alternatives of protest were discussed with the unani- mous decision to put into effect a fee strike. Exact details will be decided at the next meeting in July. In the interim, student coun- cils will be discussing this stra- tegy in the context of their par- ticular campuses. The discus- sion pointed up very clearly that the Tory government by its high-handedness and intransi- gence had left the students with no alternative. Success depends on the support of all sections of society opposed in one way Or another to the vicious education policies being pursued by the Davis government, in concert with the student action. OFS was instructed by the meeting to press for recognition by Queen’s Park as the bargain- ing agent for Ontario students. The conference gave full en- dorsation to the formation of a national student organization. Representatives were elected from OFS to sit on the steering committee appointed at a recent Windsor meeting to further this” goal. A meeting is scheduled for late fall to discuss a national union further: Elections were held for an executive body, and Wynton Semple was appointed full time co-ordinator. The first executive is: Cameron (Carleton), La Chap- pelle (Laurentian), McGregor (Western), Moulton (Glendon), Routtier (Ottawa), Spencer (To- ronto) and Miglin (Toronto) as treasurer.

In book and periodical, academics have tried to promote this move- ment. It is an anarchist-type movement that suggests the pos- sibility and need of the taking over of factories by employees and “communities” so as to operate the “process of produc- tion.” “Control” by workers suppos- edly places them in a position to take over entire plants, one by one or several at a time, if pos- sible. Thus, it is argued, the workers would become adminis- tratively prepared to run a new social order. Any plant sit-in is considered a step toward workers’ control. The proponents of the idea, who have popped up in several coun- tries, elaborate blueprints for takeover of a country. They even believe that such “take- overs” may continue under so- cialism, citing plant “self-man- agement” in Yugoslavia. Workers’ cooperatives, indus- trial and consumer, can be of some relief to a limited number of people. To think that use of the phrase “workers’ control” can be a substitute for the work of the unions, or that its fulfill- ment means a gradual transition to socialism is not simply mis- taken but diversionary. Needed badly right now is an American trade union movement purged of reactionary leaders, controlled by a militant rank and file leadership, and following an active course in the struggle against racism and for peace. —Daily World i Fiddl : Soviet Fiddler VILNIUS — The Jewish Peo- ple’s Theatre in the Lithuanian capital opened its new season with the musical, Fiddler on the Roof, based on Sholom Alei-. chem’s story, Tevye the Milk- man. : The Fiddler, in Yiddish, is drawing packed houses, and seems all set for a long run. In the 15 years of its existence the Vilnius Jewish Theatre has built up a repertoire including Sholom Aleichem’s - Wandering Stars, Mendele Mocher Sforim’s Travels of Benjamin the Third, Samuil Halkin’s The Music Man, and Mikhail Herzensohn’s Ger- shele from Ostropol. The company, well known in Lithuania, has played in Lenin- grad, Minsk, Kishinev, Riga and many other Soviet cities. Chile's annual day of volunteer labor SANTIAGO DE CHIL From President Salvador Al- lende to the school children, all of Chile, mobilized for the sec- ond annual day of voluntary Under the slogan, “Chile works for Chile,” tens of thou- sands of people joined their ef- forts to tackle the damage caus- ed by the recent storm and floods, and to increase produc- tion of foodstuffs and clothing. Ministers, workers, students, rofessionals, peasants, women and slum dwellers left early in the morning for factories and plantations, giving a boost,to,the “economy. wna ALMIGHTY VOICE $500 REWARD $500 For Murder and Cattle Killing $500 will be paid to the person or persons providin mation g infor that will lead to the apprehension and conviction of Almighty Voice. Any- one knowing the whereabouts of Almighty Voice should tact the nearest Northwest Mounted Police Detachment. Indian play depicts clash with Mounties WINNIPEG—Almighty Voice, a historical play by Ian Ross, about the last Indian armed up- rising against the North West Mounted Police at Duck Lake in May 1897, had its premiere at the Manitoba Theatre Centre on May 31. The play, whose central char- acter is a Cree from One Arrow Reserve, Saskatchewan (his name is Almighty Voice), has as its executive producer, his great nephew, Tom Jackson. The Ma- nitou Theatre Co. production was financed by .a Local Initia- tives Program grant. The Duck Lake episode began in the fall of 1897 when Almigh- ty Voice killed a government “steer to feed his starving fami- ly. For nearly two years he evaded the NWMP. Jailed in Duck Lake, he es- caped and later killed a NWMP sergeant “as a result of an er- ror by the NWMP.” Soon after- ward, Almighty Voice and his companions (Topean and Going- Up-To-The-Sky) were cornered in a poplar grove. For three days, the trio withstood a force of 68 NWMP and 200 volunteers, without food or water. The scene around the poplar grove was punctuated by Spot- ted Calf, Almighty Voice’s mo- ther, singing the Cree Death Song for her valiant son. Writer Ian Ross designed the the scrip to leave the audience in suspence until the very end. Producer Tom | Jackson’ has gathered around him a talented - entourage for this, his second production. All but two of the principals are of Indian extrac- tion. - From the monthly Manitoba Indian News comes the informa- ‘tion that the Manitou Theatre. is an entity that has already be- come a permanent fixture in the. Manitoba artistic scene. An In- dian theatrical workshop has been established. Research is constantly being conducted tc find and produce more original Indian plays. At least one will be produced in the early fall, according to current plans. Cancer in elderly folk By WM. J. VANDERVOORT, M.D. American Cancer Society It is my impression that many families of patients who are over 65 discourage the search for cancer in their elderly rela- tives. Indeed, on those occasions when cancer is found, some families prefer no treatment rather than the indicated medi- cal or surgical procedure. The purpose of my comments is to encourage a more active diagnostic and therapeutic atti- tude toward the older cancer patient. I have been the attending physician at a home for the elderly for 15 years. This home has about 56 patients, a majority of whom are over 65 years of age. Quite a number of them are over 90. Not one patient has died of a malignancy. I recall a patient who at age 70 had a simple mastectomy performed for cancer of her left breast. She died 15 years later from, a, stroke , and had never had any recurrence of the breast a ene eee cancer. : Another patient had an endo- metrial, or uterine lining, can- cer removed eight years ago. She has had an annual negative checkup each year since this ‘ surgery. One of our patients had colon cancer 12 years ago and since has had no evidence of recur- rence nor symptoms of malig- nancy. I have lost count of the number of skin cancers that have been removed from our older patients but we have never had one that has recurred. Patients over 65 who have had the recognized treatment for cancer have done well. These patients have died natural deaths, usually of a stroke or heart attack, but none has had a recurrence of the disease. Proper diagnostic and thera- peutic procedures in elderly patients are vital. The distress- ing symptoms are removed in many cases and their life expec- tancy. is. well worth the discom- fort of treatment. - «= =» PACIFIC TRIBUNE—FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1972—PAGE 7. } } | i}
