Apparently this has met with the displeasure of the Board and is the cause of their decision to exclude us in the future. “The majority of City Council members not only supported this attack on democratic rights but went further. They denied us the traditional right, as citizens, to be heard in our appeal of the Board’s decision. “Tt would be wrong to think such an attack can be confined to ‘crummy groups as suggested by arrogant Council members, Martin Luther King left us this thought—‘‘It is a myth to think that hate and ‘violence can be confined to an airtight chamber to be employed against a few.’ This truth applies to Council member's undemocratic action.

SPECIALIST Ph. 255-6828 $1.00 Douglas lashes out at Trudeau on Vietnam war NDP leader Tommy Douglas launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Trudeau's stand on the Vietnam war last Sunday at a giant open air rally in Confederation Park, Burnaby, attended by over 5,000 people. He said the turning point in the campaign for him came when Prime Minister Trudeau was asked by students if he was prepared to stop shipment of Canadian arms to the U.S. for the Vietnam war. ” ‘“‘Trudeau said no,’’ said Douglas. ‘‘He said it would mean throwing’ men out of work—the choice was clean hands and empty bellies. “T don’t believe that the factories making napalm and biological and chemical weaponry could not be converted to make fertilizers and insecticides and pesticides. But even if we had to make a choice, as Trudeau says, a good society is not built on full bellies and bloodstained hands—at the expense of the lives of men, women-and children of Vietnam.” V4 JET NAM ~ “Yeah, we sure gotta stop this violence.” PT winners.

Wind-up banquet smashing success By E. CRIST The 260 friends and supporters of the PT who turned out to the banquet were well rewarded. The lavish 10 ‘course meal, accordion virtuoso, Leo Aquino, the “Grass Roots’’, plus the fact that, despite additional financial obligations by most PT supporters towards the federal election campaign, the Drive came within shooting distance of the target — all these added up to one very successful evening. The banquet to celebrate the ‘official end of the PT Sustaining Fund Drive took place last Friday at the Yen Lock Restaurant on East Pender. Master of Ceremonies, Tom McEwen, after briefly pointing to the continued need for a progressive paper in Canada’s West, introduced the three Communist candidates in B.C. running in the federal election campaign. Winners of the Shield for all-round performance during the Drive were Vancouver East and the North Shore Club (City) and the White-Rock Delta Club (Province). Honorable mention was given to Broadway, Victory Square and Nanaimo Clubs. There were 23 Honor Press Builders ($100), 37 Premium Press Builders ($50), and 123 Press Builders ($25). Tom McEwen, in presenting a special gift to all Honor Press Builders, thanked them and all other supporters for their inspiring work. He paid a special tribute to the two bright stars of-this Drive — Bob Towle fromthe Vancouver East Club © and Rita Tanche from the White Rock-Delta Club. Bob Towle raised $508 and Rita Tanche raised $500 and, ° in addition, won 5 new readers during the Drive. Both Bob and Rita were presented with a special gift made out of material from U.S. war planes shot down over North Vietnam. The gifts were sent by the fighting people of Vietnam. Next week we will publish the final Drive results. Classified Advertising BUSINESS PERSONALS COMING EVENTS HALLS FOR RENT REGENT TAILORS LTD.—Cus- tom Tailors and Ready-to- Wear. 324 W.
