THE PEOPLES ADVOCATE Royal Visit P => ASKED TO COOPERATE WITH COMMITTEE; HAULED BEFORE COURT Special to the Advocate MURRAY VILLE, BC, June 15. A mass trial was held here Monday implicating 18 car owners who obligingly responded to an appeal by Editor Cox in the Langley Advance asking all car owners to take a load of people to Fort Langley for the visit of the King and Queen and for their pains received summonses for operating cars without licenses. Im each case the owner was siven 30 days suspended sen- tence and in the meantime must get a driver’s license and a SEEK END TO BLACKLISTING NEW WESTMINSTER, June 15. —Blacklisting of 60 longshoremen from the docks was given an air ing in City Council Monday night when after considerable discussion it was ‘learned that the men are now on city relief rolls. Mayor Hume and the City Coun- cil have agreed to arrange a meet-— ing with Captain McMillan, repre— sentative of the stevedorin= com- panies, and delegates from the Gonsolidated and Pacific Coast Terminals in the City Hall Priday to see if there is some way where by these men who are citizens can be reemployed on the waterfront and thus remove them from relief lists. The men have been blacklisted by the Royal City Waterfront Workers’ Association, an organiza- tion that was formed by the Ship- ping Federation during the 1935 strike to defeat the longshoremen. Spokesmen for the blacklisted men state that green men have been imported and given work while they have had to apply for relief which is costing the city about $35,000 a year. Tt is also estimated that with the present amount of shipping another 10 gangs of longshoremen eould be employed. The meeting of the city officials with the stevedoring and shipping interests has not been set but it will be a closed door affair. PRINCE RUPERT, BC, June i5 —-An invitation has been extended to President Franklin D. Roose- velt, from the Chamber of Com- merce, to include this city in his itinerary when visiting Alaska. The license for the car, but since a number are in receipt of relief this will work some hardship be- cause they must turn the license plates over to the council before relief is issued. At the end of the suspension period they must again appear before the magistrate for disposi- tion of the cases. During the trial Cox stated he published the appeal in good faith since Reeve Hope and Police Chief Macklin had been present at the transportation committee meeting when the matter of appealing to car owners was decided. How- ever Crown Prosecutor Selkirk dis- counted this important fact and held that the car Owners were to blame. The car owners Should not have taken the paper seriously but should have phoned the authori- ties for a decision on the matter, stated the crown prosecutor. “Using the appeal in the paper was not a reason for driving the ears without the necessary licenses but an excuse,” he claimed. There is a feeling of bitterness over the whole affair here. The owners feel that with Police Chief Macklin sitting on the committee along with Reeve Hope, these indi- viduals should be the authority in- sofar as the municipality is con- cerned. While the crown prosecutor stated he was being very lenient in the cases, the car owners feel they are the wictims of a raw deal and the best way out of the situa- tion would have been a dismissal of the charges with a reprimand under the circumstances and some action be taken against the editor of the paper for publishing the appeal.

It seems that this “untouchable” question has actually been mentioned—— though perhaps very quietly—dur- ing the current negotiations be- tween the city and the BC Blectric for a new agreement which will determine rates and how much the campany will pay the city for the use of its streets. The matter came up on Monday when a spe- cial committee was appointed by City Council to meet with com- pany officials. They will report back to a special meeting of Coun- cil some time in the future, a) ITY COUNCIL favors a reduc- tion of the old age pension limit from 70 to 60 years as advocated in a resolution sponsored by Ald. Helena Gutteridge. Ald. Gutter- idge declared that if the Federal Government consented to lower the age limit as suggested, a great percentage of elderly persons would be removed from relief rolis and rightfully placed under a pen- pension plan which has long been sought by labor and progressive forces throughout Canada. The demand forms one of the basic legislative proposals of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada. @ HE caterpillar invasion of the area near Arbutus and i18th Avenue has served to emphasize again to Council members that protection of ratepayers from such pests is an important part of their duties. As in other years, no at- tempt was made to prevent the re- sultant destruction of gardens by tackling the pests in the eariy stages. Then, when the caterpil- lars actually began moving, house- holders were left to cope with them alone, with no aid from the city. However, since aldermen admitted that the fight against the pests should have begun two months ago, ratepayers are hoping they re- member this in time to do some thing next year. Se LDERMEN Gutteridge, Corey and Wilson will leave for Vic- toria shortly to discuss with the Provincial Government two im- portant matters — restoration of civic salary cuts and assistance to discriminated single men as urged r Owners} Costiy To 18 Langley Ca Relief Won For Recipient In Important Test Case S lief a year ago last April and had been consistently refused further assistance by the council on the erounds that the man’s father, whe is over 80 years old, is in receipt of an old age pension and there was sufficient money coming into the house to support the son. This case received a great deal of attention at the last conference of the BG Federation on Unem- ployment, and formed the basis of a resolution, but nothing came of it until the demonstration brought results. It is felt that this is a test case since all single men are stricken from relief at this time of the Special to the Advocate LANGLEY PRAIRIE, BC, June 15.—Reinstatement on re- lief rolls was won for a single man when members of the Langley Ratepayers and Workers Association demonstrated while the Municipal Council was in session last Saturday. The man was dropped from re-ghis check for June a precedent has year, but with this man promised been established. A delegation from the large body of demonstrators also asked the council to supply tools for men working out their relief All men have been obliged to bring their own tools except when working in the gravel pits. It was pointed out to the coun- ecillors that with the low scale of relief paid relief recipients would be hard put to replace scythes and axes which they are now using to eut brush on the roads. : Some minor concessions were eranted and since they are wholly unsatisfactory every man on the jobs will be canvassed to support the full demands.

For these are examples of sud- den and violent changes in animal development, as different from the slow growth of a child into a man as a bomb explosion from the boil- ing of a kettle. And there are sound theoretical reasons, as well as the practical example of October 1917, to be- lieve that the change from capital- ism to socialism must be sudden. Almost every animal has a sudden change at some stage or other in its life history. Among the most conspicuous are those of insects. The more primitive imsects, such as grasshoppers ana cockroaches, moult about half a dozen times, roughly doubling their size at each moult But the changes are ToL very striking. If you look at a young grasshopper you find a gen- eral resemblance to the adult form, though the wings are stumpy and useless for flight. e Ur the higher insects are quite unrecognizable when young. Butterflies and moths start life as caterpillars; ants, bees, wasps, and some flies as grubs. Others, in- cluding mosquitoes, dragonflies and mayflies, are quite complicat- ed wingless creatures living in fresh water. Mosquito larvae look biologists. When 2 caterpillar is going to change into a butterfly its Skin hardens, and then a most peculiar thing happens. Its inter- nal organs are destroyed by phago- cytes, that is to say wandering cells such as we find eating bac- teria in the pus of an abscess, and dissolve into a sort of creamy pulp. But a few small sets of cells re- These are the rudiments of main. the adult organs, such as wings and legs, and they grow very quickly at the expense of this pulp, until there is an almost completely new creature. For nine-tenths of the caterpillar actualy dies in the process of metamorphosis. Indeed the change is rather dan- gerous, like birth in the human species, and kills off a certain number of caterpillars. S ETAMORPHOSIS depends, among other things, on a gland in the caterpillar’s head, whose secretion controls it, as the secre- tion which the testicles pour into the blood controls the change of a boy into a man, or 4 ealf into a bull The details are being worked out in particular by Dr. Wigglesworth, of the London School of Hygiene, who at one time used to experi- ment on me, taking samples of my blood after I had breathed various gas mixtures, but now prefers to | work on something smaller, pre- metamorphose. Another gland pre vents this process from going too far until the right moment. So in- stead of taking on the adult form it merely moults its skin- But by erafting these glands it has been possible to make minia~ ture adults which had metamor- phosed too soon, and also immature forms which were bigger than or- dinary adults. S THER animals undergo even stranger changes. Many snails begin life as symmetrical animals, and the sudden change to asym- metry takes places in a few min- utes. A barnacle, which spends its adult life attached to a rock or a ship’s bottom, begins ilfe as a freely swimming animal somewhat like a young shrimp, and then sticks onto a solid surface with its head, and spends the rest of its life kicking food into its mouth with its legs. The tadpole, as it develops into a frog, scraps its tail, gills, and other organs which it no longer needs. But the change is not so quick as in an insect. Human beings also go through an astonishing series of changes before they are born. We all had tails about six months before we were born, and later developed a wooly coat which we moulted. But the most sudden changes oc- cur at the moment of birth. Be- fore it is born a baby gets all the its mother’s blood, and gets rid of -~waste products, though there is no actual exchange of blood. The pure blood then flows back through another vessel in the navel-string. from HIEN the baby is born the mid- wife ties the navel-string, and it begins to breathe. Before it was born only a little of its blood went through the lungs. There was a by- pass called the ductus arteriosus. Within a few minutes this shuts, and all the blood goes through the lungs at each circulation. Sometimes this by-pass, or an- other by-pass between two of the heart’s chambers does not shut. In this case the baby often dies. But sometimes it lives. Occasionally a “blue boy” is shown at a fair, in whom a large fraction of the blood does not go through the lungs. Such people are chronically blue, like an arm whose circulation has been temporarily blocked by a tight bandage. They are always weak, but can sometimes live for some years. Occasionally a meta- morphosis can be put off. But usually a failure to make the change at the right moment leads to death or invalidism. Let us hope that we do not delay for too long the change from the eaterpillar of capitalism to the butterfly of so- cialism. a mame for itself and for benefit of the community.
