SMORGASBORD DRAWS CROWD
The response to the Ladner Seafood Smorgasbord was overwhelming and we hope those who had to stand in the lineup outside aren't suffering too much from chilblains.
The social committee of the Ladner Fishermen's Co-op Hall wishes to thank the patrons for their patience and also takes this opportunity to thank BC Packers, Canadian Fishing Company and Nelson Brothers (the Ladner Oyster plant) for their donations of fish. Also those who helped in preparing the food.

Noting that employer groups had* recently requested setting up of a royal commission to inquire into causes of labor unrest, the brief declared labor's readiness to participate in any such inquiry, provided the terms of reference were sufficiently broad to include the whole field of prices, profits and wages.
RELUCTANT TO PARTICIPATE
"We would be reluctant to participate in a conference designed solely to provide further avenues for management to advocate restrictive labor legislation," the brief pointed out, ascribing this purpose to the conference called by labor minister Lyle Wicks in 1958.
Among the most important of the many proposals placed before the cabinet were measures for combatting unemployment, bringing electricity and gas under public ownership and providing free education up to and including university to all students proving their ability.
The Federation's proposals for combatting unemployment included provision of a $5,000,000 provincial fund for unemployed assistance and calling of a representative provincial conference to draft a program to eliminate unemployment.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Public ownership of electricity and gas was pressed in proposals calling for all existing projects to be taken over and operated by the BC Power Commission and for all new projects and extensions of present projects to be undertaken by the Commission.
The brief proposed that the projected Peace River power project be placed before the new Provincial Energy Board and urged adding of an experienced conservationist and a labor representative to the Board.
On education, the brief held that free education "to the extent that
the pupil is capable of assimilating" should be provided in all schools, colleges and universities and called for construction of more vocational schools, particularly in the interior, to assist Native Indians.
Other proposals included:
• Redistribution of provincial electoral ridings to provide more equitable representation.
• Provincial responsibility for upkeep and maintenance of all arterial highways and main approaches to cities and towns.
• Establishment of a provincial government auto insurance scheme.
• Amendment of the Hours of Work Act to provide for a 40-hour week.
• Repeal of the Constitution Act (Bill 123) which forbids provincial government employees from picketing government buildings.
• Granting of full collective bargaining rights to provincial government employees.
• A $2,000 fine for the first offence and $10,000 and one year's imprisonment for subsequent of-
fences for employers convicted of unfair labor practices.
• A 30 percent increase in social service allowances.
• A minimum wage of $1.25 per hour for all unskilled workers.
• Enactment of measures to stop "continued concentration of ownership and control of our forest industries into fewer and fewer hands."
