Meanwhile, the Toronto Com-
mittee of the Communist Party
urged last week that Yorkville
be made into a mall. In a state-
ment, the committee said: “Tor-
onto’s City Council is acting
irrationally when it allows squads
of police including the anti-riot
squad to invade Yorkville and
attack the young people there,

“Not only is there evidence of
police brutality but these so-
called upholders of the law en-
couraged motorists to break laws
by tailgating and driving slowly
in order to be part of the attack
against the youth, All the young
people arrested should be freed,

“The City Council should turn
Yorkville into a pedestrian mall,
Such action would in no way harm
the businesses in the area, it
would even make it a more plea-
sant place to shop, At the same
time it would end this constant
harassment by the police of the
young people in the evenings in
order to keep the streets open to
traffic.

“Further, the people of Toronto
have a right to know how come
there is a special squad of police,
the Mobile Tactical Unit, to be
used for attacks on the labor
movement and polictical meet-
ings. This is on par with other
anti-labor actions by the police
in Toronto and its about time that
City Council was told in no un-
certain terms that their jobis not
to set up a police force to attack
the working people who are voters
in this city.”

dispute an estimate of 700,000

ever, with the unemployment

months of next year could see

A resolution coming before the
T.U.C.’s September meeting ex-
presses “extreme concern” at the

for changes in economic policy
to avoid a sharp increase this
winter, Though the government

& Socreds under fire

for pollution edict

British Columbia’s municipal-
ities have been aroused by the
announcement last week of Muni-
cipal Affairs Minister Campbell
that legislation will be introduced
at the next session of the legis-
lature in January which will
enable Victoria to order munici-
palities to carry through pollution
control measures at civic ex-
pense,

In announcing the legislation
Campbell said the provincial gov-
ernment would not contribute to
the cost of any sewage treatment
projects ordered by Victoria,
He estimated that the total cost
for pollution control measures
the municipalities might be
forced to undertake without B.C,
government aid could total $100

million,

There is no disagreement
among civic leaders that a
province-wide crackdown of
pollution of rivers, lakes and
coastal waters is long overdue.
The uproar. is over the policy
of the Bennett government in
declaring its aim to be to im-
pose the cost of such pollution
control measures onto the backs
of civic taxpayers.

In making his announcement
municipal Affairs Minister
Campbell took the stand that
pollution control measures are
the sole responsibility of the
municipalities, ‘It has also been
indicated that under the new leg-
islation municipalities will be
obliged to carry out projects
ordered by the provincial gov-
ernment board without submitting
such expenditures to the rate-

payers,

In actual fact, by adopting the
attitude that pollution is the sole
responsibility of the municipali-
ties, and that they will have to
foot the whole bill, the provincial
government is taking a course
which will ensure an inadequate
pollution control program,

The fact is that B,C.’s hard-
pressed municipalities cannot
find the resources needed to
implement the kind of long-range
pollution control need. Nor can
an effective system of control be
workable without region-wide
planning and direct provincial
financial support for such a pro-
gram,

OBITUARY

ETHEL SORENSEN

Ethel Sorensen, long time resi-
dent of the North Shore, school
teacher, ardent peace worker,
active in community affairs, a
rebel against injustice and ty-
ranny, for sixteen years living
with the dread disease ofcancer,
passed away last week in her
58th year,

Born in Northern Ireland, Ethel
Sorensen’s family migrated to
Canada while she was still very
young, in order to escape the un-
bearable tensions and bloodshed
caused by religious and political
factions in Ireland at that time, :
Ethel’s early life and work were
in the City of Toronto, where
she completed her studies as a
school teacher,

Paying a moving tribute to her
memory and life’s work at ther
funeral, where many who knew.
and loved her had come to pay
their last respects, Alderman
Harry Rankin said.

“We rejoice that Ethel Soren-
sen was and is part of our lives,
We rejoice that she lives on in
her beloved children. Her influ-
ence .endures in the unending
consequences flowing from her
character and deeds — it endures
in our own acts and thoughts.
We shall remember her as a
living vital presence. That
memory will refresh our
hearts and strengthen us intimes
of trouble. These are reflections
that we treasure for there can
never be too much friendship
in the world, too much human
warmth, too much affection,

“I’m am sure that outside of a
hatred for injustice, EthelSoren-
sen did not have an unkind word
for any human being, But just as
she was kindly towards all peo-
ple, so was she uncompromising
and dedicated against injustice
in our society, no matter in what
form or where it came from,
She was what could be called a
moral builder; a fighter for the
kind of society in which working
people the world over would be
brothers and sisters”.
