The ‘“‘mother” of the Vancouver peace movement, Mrs. Julia

Prokopchuk, was acclaimed by her fellow peace workers Tuesday
night when Vahcouver Peace Assembly honored local petitioners.

More than fifty men, women and young people who have gathered

with peace service awards and
were congratulated by Mrs. Nora

Kitsilano slum
fires spur cify
housing demand

Two disastrous fires in the 1600
block West Second within three
monthsthave aroused tenants in the
slum area to demand better hous-
ing. The first blaze, on June 30,
destroyed a wooden shack and
snuffed out the lives of two young
children. The second, on August
18, gutted a large tenament and
forced a score of families to take
to the street, leaving most of their
possessions behind.

Canvassing the area this week
with a petition demanding decent
housing, Mrs. Rita Whyte, found
residents willing and eager to sign.
“Most of the burned-out families
have left the neighborhood,” she
said, “but more than 75 people in
one block signed the petition,
which will be presented to city
council in the near future.”

Legion officers
silent af meeting

PORT ALBERNI, B.C.

Among the close to 100 people
whe gathered here this week to
hear Mrs. Nora K. Rodd of Wind-
sor give a first-hand report of
the suffering war has brought
to the Korean people were three
Prominent officials of the local
Canadian Legion. Although these
Legion leaders recently called for
“banning of the Labor-Progres-
Sive party in order to stop the
World Peace Petition campaign
in Canada” they raised no objec-
tion during Mrs. Rodd’s address.
If they had come to heckle, the
mass of evidence presented by
the speaker silenced them effec-

tively.

US. policy in
Korea indicted
by Mrs. Rodd

“ne people of Korea are sub-
jected by the American occupation
to a merciless and methodical cam-
paign of extermination which is in
contradiction not only with the
principles of humanity, but also
with the rules of warfare as laid
down, for instance, in The Hague
and the Geneva Conventions.”

This is the sober’ conclusion ar-
rived at by a Women’s Internation-
al Commission which visited Korea
last May, said Mrs. Nora K,. Rodd,
commission chairman, speaking to
1,500 Vancouver citizens in Den-
man Auditorium on Friday last
week. i

Mrs. Rodd illustrated her talk
with lantern slides, and the audi-
ence listened in hushed silence’ as
she pointed out pictures of open
graves filled with the bodies of-
victims of Yankee atrocities, the
details of which were verified by
the commission and embodied in
its report to the UN.

Deeply moved, the audience con-
tributed close to $700 when Ray
Gardner of B.C. Peace Council
made an appeal for funds to cover
the cost of the meeting and further
peace work in this province.

Other speakers at the meeting
included Dr. James Endicott of
Trail and Rev. A. Rowe of Haney,
who acted as chairman. The
meeting was held under the joint
sponsorship of B.C. Peace Council

and the Congress of Canadian

Women.
