“Tf Trudeau is really interested in human rights,’’ he asked, “‘why doesn’t he start a- country-wide debate on a new Canadian con- stitution, as they have done in the Soviet Union?”

Another meeting in Sonne s Lochdale Hall Saturday night heard former leader and present CP chairman Nigel Morgan recall the gains of the communist movement in the years since the revolution. ‘‘Sixty years ago, only one socialist country existed,” Morgan said. ‘“‘There were less than 450,000 communists in the whole world.

“Today there are 104 Communist Parties with over 60 million members. The communist

movement is the most representa- tive and decisive force anywhere.”

PNE should

Cont'd from pg. 2

As far as I’m concerned, if the B.C. Lions want a new and better stadium they can damn well build and pay for it themselves, and I wouldn’t be at all unhappy if they tookitaway from the PNE grounds and put it in some other area, such as the flat open area between Burnaby and Deer Lakes in Burnaby.

To compensate ‘the people who live in the PNE area for all the inconvenience caused them by the

_traffic and noise, the report coyly

suggests ‘‘the creation of delightful park areas within the PNE grounds,”’ that the residents could use!

I have always felt and have always advocated that the PNE should serve the public and not private sports or other promoters. I believe it has great potential as an entertainment and educational centre and that it could operate on ayear round basis for the benefit of the people of B.C. and whatever tourists it may attract.

The exhibits, however, should not be cheap American-type ersatz amusements but genuine exhibits that reflect the life of B.C. — the various industries. (logging, mining, fishing, farming, pulp and paper, hydro dams, railways,

serve peoples’ needs

manufacturing etc); exhibits that reflect the kinds of communities in

which our people live; exhibits that .

reflect the diverse ethnic nature of our population; reflect the topography of the country. To take tours through such exhibits would not only be educational for our children, it would be educational and entertaining for all our citizens.

Furthermore the preparation of these exhibits should be done in B.C. “by. BCs wherever possible by the residents and workers in the industries and communities depicted.

This type of PNE would make it

residents and.

a real Pacific Peoples’ Exhibition that would be a credit to the province and to Canada.

The problem of traffic could, I am sure, be effectively solved by light rapid transit, underground if necessary, with all private cars banned from the PNE area except those of residents in the surrounding areas.

We cannot afford to allow promoters to turn the PNE into a year-round Coney Island or to allow the PNE board to build facilities for them that could run into hundreds of millions of dollars

- (don’t forget the Montreal Olympic

scandal!) at public expense.
