Urges ‘Homes’ |

Councillor Harry Ball, re-elected to the Burn
Council in the recent municipal elections, expressed f
ure at being back on the council and hoped that
activities on the council would be such as would ju

confidence placed in him by the electors of ward <¢
the inaugural meeting of the Burnaby Council fast.

Councillor Ball also suggested
that although the problem men-
tioned by Reeve Morrison, who
was re-elected for a second term
and who extended a welcome to
the new. councillors, were import-
ant, the prevalent housing short-
age should be given first con-
sideration and (Ball expressed
the hope that a committee would
be appointed to thoroughly in-
vestigate the possibility of the
municipality taking advantage of
the Dominion government Hous-
ing Act. “Such a policy,” he said,
“will greatly facilitate the reé-
habilitation of our servicemen
and create employment.”

He also criticized a recommen-
dation by Reeve Morrison of
members for the civic employees
union concilliation board, stating
that the board would be better

conducting a full half-hour open-
ing program; the Rotary Glee
Club, under the direction of Gly-
ndwr Jones; and four Brahms
-duets for alto and baritone, with
Margaret Davies and John Goss.

Leading soloists will be Betty
Thomas, pianist, who has just
been awarded the first bursary
with the B.C. Institute of Music
and Drama; and Ted Olsen, well-
known tenor, with Pearl Kerr at
the piano.
