‘Squamish tribe to be
host on children’s day

On Saturday, June 8th, the
Squamish Tribe will host on the
Capilano Reserve children from
many ethnic and other groups
in a celebration of International
Children’s Day.

This day is based on ‘‘the Dec-
laration of the Rights of the
Child’’—a United Nations docu-
ment drawn up on Nov. 20th, 1959
which embodies the principle of
the right of children to protection,
and the opportunity to develop to
their full potential.

Chief Cy Baker will be Master

of Ceremonies of the colorful and
exciting program.

Children from various ethnic
groups will perform their nation-
al dances. There will be sports
and music and a demonstration
of traditional Indian arts and
folklore including dances, cost-
umes and the barbecue of a sal-
mon.

The event is being sponsored
by the International Children’s
Day Committee, whose chairman
is Joan Elizabeth Chobotuck.

tained by phoning LA 6-5226.

Ratepayers oppose
Coal Harbor plan

A meeting of the Central Coun-
cil of Ratepayers last Wednesday
went on record opposing the pre-
sent Webb and Knapp Plan of
development for Coal Harbour.

The Central Council represents
many Vancouver ratepayers or-

ganizations, including Kitsilano,
Fairview, South Hill, Sunrise,
Grandview, Collingwood, West

End, the West End Taxpayers
Association, Southview, Cassiar,
and the Apartment and Rooming
House Owners.

The meeting decided to oppose
~ the plan because the Coal Har-
bour area is unique for the devel-
opment of marina waterfront,
restaurants and general tourist
attractions, and should also be

A tea is being held on Sun-
day afternoon, June 2, 2 to 4

used as a recreational and tourist
centre.

A second reason given by the
Central Council is that the pro-
posal to develop high rise apart-
ments in this area would create
a tremendous traffic problem
and would set back the develop-
ment of the West End which has
ample property for high rise
apartments.

COWICHAN ASKS E & N TAKEOVER

E&N timber squeeze menaces jobs
for 490 workers at Hillcrest

By MYRTLE BERGREN
The Lake Cowichan Village
Council at ils last meeting dis-
cussed the E. & N. brief being

TAXES

Cont'd from pg. 2

posed as other means used by
corporations and individuals to
avoid taxes.

The brief cited stock manipu-
lation as an example of tax evas-
ion on capital appreciation. Can-
adian General Electric increased
its common shares from 188,845
priced at $415 in 1952 to 7,555,012
shares priced at $33 in 1962. The
increase in value, it said, was
from $78.4 million to $249.3 mil-
lion, a jump of $107.9 million,
or 221 percent.

“This large capital apprecia-
tion increased the wealth of the
owners of CGE (mainly the US.
parent company, General Elect-
ric) without attracting any Canad-
ian taxation to them—the corpor-
ate tax on profits being passed on
in the prices of CGE products...”

The brief made a major point
that corporation taxes were al-
most completely passed on to the
final purchaser of goods and serv-
ices under current quasi-monop-
oly conditions.

widely circulated by the Van-
couver Island Regional Committee
of the Communist Party, and en-

. dorsed the proposal that the gov-
“©ernment expropriate the E. & N.

land grant, sending a letter of
support to the Vancouver Island
Ratepayers Organization which
has put forward this proposal
also, and asking for any further
actions that can be taken. along
this line.

This follows on the recent notice
given to the 450 Hillerest Lumber
Company employees at Mesachie
Lake that since it commenced
sawmilling operations many years
ago, it has purchased and cut
E. & N. timber exclusively, but
that they have been advised by
the E. & N. that, “in line with
their policy of more efficient util-
ization of their timber holdings,’’
they were not selling any more
standing timber.

“We feel that all employees
should be made aware of this
change in the timber supply,

and we must advise that the total —
amount of timber which we have i
under option that we can expect 4
to purchase from the railway —
company will last us about four

to five years’.

The announcement came as a_
shock to the Hillcrest loggers |
and millworkers who with their %
homes and families comprise a |
large section of the population q
and economy of Lake Cowichan —
area.

The brief exposes the dominat-
ing grip of this CPR monopoly on |
the economy of Vancouver Island, |
and urges in addition to govern- |
ment expronriation, that the re-—
maining timber in the belt be |
placed on a sustained yield basis |
and made available to independ
ent Canadian operators; and that —
timber revenue from the grant ~
gained by the government be ap- a |
plied to the cost of building hos- —
pitals, roads, schools and other |
essential services on Vancouver 4
Island. :
