dead president and pledge eternal
friendship and alliance with the
Soviet Union in his. memory.
Over the National Museum at
the head of the square hung a
banner with the watchword
launched by the premier: ‘“For-
ward Czechoslovak shock brigades,
under the banner of Lenin, and
Stalin, along the Gottwald path.”
Speaking of the Communist Par-
ty of Czechoslovakia—“. .-. the
guardian of the progressive tradi-
tions of our nation, the inspirer of
all our successes and the victories

in a people’s democracy, Zapo-
tocky declared:

“We shall master) the art of
governing with the people and
for the people, and by way of
people’s democracy shall build
the firm foundations of social-
ism and in this way strengthen
the cause of peace.”

Zapotocky reminded the Czecho-
slovak people that their dead pres-
ident had constantly warned them
never to forget the existence of
the class enemy.

And this very enemy, he said,
“will attempt by every means left
to him to harm the peaceful con-
struction work of the people.”

But he warned that the working
people of Czechoslovakia would
deal firmly and mercilessly with
all who might seek to disrupt their
peaceful constructive efforts. .
The road to that independence
lay along the road of friendship
and alliance with the Soviet Union
and the countries of people’s de-
mocracy and in full support for
their common struggle - for the
maintenance of world peace.

“We want,” he said, “and shall
endeavor to carry out, a policy
of international cooperation, the
development of commercial re-
lations with all countries on the
basis of equality, without inter-
ference in the internal affairs of
states or the violation of state
sovereignty.” 4
Marshal Bulganin speaking on
behalf of the Soviet government
and of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union, said the death of
Klement Gottwald had saddened
the workers of the People’s De-
mocracies. -

“In these difficult and sorrowful
days, dear comrades and friends,”
he added, “you are not alone. The
peoples of the mighty Soviet Un-
ion, the great Chinese people, the
workers of the People’s Democra-
( all progressive ' mankind,

d by you. :
pees oe is unshakeable. No
one will ever succeed in severing
it,” he concluded.

Precisely at ore o’clock the en-
tire country came’ to a standstill,
with the playing of the Czecho-
slovak and Soviet anthems.

For five minutes the silence of:
the factories that had passed into
the hands of the people under the

tribute to their dead president.

Million people line streets
of Prague in last farewell
to late President Gottwald

PRAGUE

Klement Gottwald, the first Communist president of the Czechoslovak People’s Democratic Re-
-public, who died on March 14, was laid to rest in the Liberation Memorial here on Thursday last week.
A million people lined the six-mile route from Pra gue Castle, where Gottwald had been lying in state
for three days, to the classic white stone memorial on the Vitkov Heights, towering over the city. In
the vast Wenceslas Square, an immense river of mourners heard Premier Antonin Zapotocky honor their

widow, Mrs. Martha Gottwald, and
her daughter, Mrs. Martha Cep-
icka, wife of General Cepicka.
They were followed by central
committee members of the Czech-

oslovak Communist party and
members of the government.
Next came delegations from the
Soviet Union, People’s China and
the other People’s Democracies,
followed by representatives of

-Communist and Workers’ parties,

among them Harry Pollitt and
John Gollan of the British Com-
munist party.

An hour after leaving the castle
the gun carriage reached the wide
Letna Plain where full military
honors were accorded by a mass
parade of the troops, police and
workers’ militia.

By the wayside, workers and
their wives. and -children from
Prague and from all parts of the
country, stood for many hours
waiting to salute the incorruptible
fighter for the freedom and rights
of the common man.

As early as eight o’clock in the
morning the funeral route was lin-
ed with people three deep on each
side.

So great was the influx that an
appeal was made to Prague citi-
zens to keep away from the lying-
in-state—to give way to people
who had come from outside the
city.

Water rate

increase

brings strong protest

from Natal

NATAL, B.€.

A recent announcement in the
Fernie Free Press that Natal
Water Works Ltd. will .increase
water rates for all householders
and businessmen according to the
size %f their house (so much for
each room) or place of business,
has aroused a storm of protest
here.

Board of Trade called a meeting
at which many citizens voiced

‘their complaints about the new
water rates and the poor service.

provided by the Water, Works.

A ‘summary of the most general
complaints was given to the Paci-
fic Tribune by an interested citi-
zen:

“The service is very bad. In
winter the Water Works tried to
economize on electricity and use
only one pump instead of two.
The pressure was very low and
frozen pipes were frequent occur-
rence. Each time a customer had
to have a water line thawed out
it cost him $2 extra on his bill.

“The water is dirty, too, for
during the spring and summer a
mountain stream is used, and in
rainy seasons one finds mud, dead
leaves and other things plugging
the pipes. ‘

“In winter corner fire hydrants
are often frozen; a good fire could
sweep the town. This matter has
been taken up with the provincial
fire marshal by Board of Trade,
with no results. j

“Citizens of Natal signed a pe-
tition outlining these complaints
and protesting against the new
proposed rate. Copies have been |
sent to Victoria and to Tom
Uphill, MLA for Fernie.”

Behind came the president’s |

Aside from the question of

residents

water rates and service, Natal citi-
zens have.a raft of other com-
plaints. The town is under gov-
érnment jurisdiction as it is not
incorporated and has no munici-
pal council. Sidewalks are in
bad shape and a modern sewer-
age system is urgently needed.

“What is needed,” the Pacific
Tribune was told, “is a popular
campaign to organize a muni-

-cipal. government which could
tackle these problems without —
delay.”
