Such a Bill should be based on the Uni- versal Declaration of Union Rights, adopted by the United Nations Or ganization.” _ Prior to the meeting, all execu- tive members and job stewards re- ceived a copy of a pamphlet pub- Bar probe in beating of Clemens Vancouver Police afraid that an investigation would substantiate the’ charge that two city cops brutally beat. up Negro longshoreman Clarence Clemens last July, ruled Tuesday this week that_no public inquiry into the case can be held “while the case’ is still before the courts.” . *Clemens has ‘been hospitalized for almost four months as a result of the beating, and is still in a semi- paralysed condition.

Coldwell told .an audience of 200 at Trail that the CCF would protest Bill H-8 if it comes before parliament at this session. A report of his speech in the Trail Daily Times on November 5 read: “Referring to the pro- posed revision of the Criminal Code through Bill H-8, Mr..Cold- well said that, although his party certainly would protest the bill if it ever reached the House of Commons, he did not feel that it ever would reach the House. He doubted that even Liberals or Progressive Conservatives would favor the bill.” CL Free milk campaign pressed Dr. Joseph Blumes, Vancouver dentist who conducted an indepen- dent milk consumption survey among families with school age children, told school board members last week that 73 percent of the children in the sample residential district do. not get enough milk. Dr. Blumes called on 106 fami- lies who had 317 children. He found that last year they used 215 quarts of milk a day and this year only 167 quarts, due to rising prices. What is needed, said Dr. Blumes, is free milk for many children at school, and a subsidy to bring down the price. The stand taken by school board is that providing milk is not the board’s job. Dr. Blumes argued that Toronto provides free milk to 4,000.school children, and said that he intends to continue his campaign here. The city dentist told the board that he had been in touch with Provincial Education Minister Tillie Rolston and had received the ruk ing that milk distribution in schools is the responsibility of municipal school boards. es Nutrition bureau of the depart- ment of national health says chil’ dren up to 12 should get at least 4 pint of milk per day; adolescents (12 to 18) one and a half pints @ day; adults one-half pints a day.
