Many other towns and centres smaller than Prince Rupert with its 11,000 population, have already built such units and the late E. E. Winch’s cottage-type housing projects in Burn- aby Have won acclaim all over the world. .-The three major service clubs and other responsible associations, lodges and organizations have it in their power to bring such a project to ful- fillment here. With co-operation from the City of Prince Rupert there is no yeason why, within 18 months, there cannot be 15 units providing respect- able homes*for a small group of the city’s. pensioners. - It is a simple, tried-and-true pro- posal hinging on whether an incorpor- ated group can raise $12,000. If the sium is raised a grant can be obtained from the provincial government and the remained of the necessary $115,- 400 horrowed from Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation over a per- idd of 50:years. | cud t is not unkind to state that otary club, which called last [hutsday’s organizational meeting on “the housing project, cannot raise the whole $12,000. _The Rotary club, like all other groups, has other obligations thréughout the year. Therefore the amount has to be shared, possibly split five or six ways with each organiza- tion pledging much. . . Once a non-profit society has been incorporated, then the group can start and construction. Blueprints are al- | ready on hand. The City Council, un- doubtedly, will make land available either as a gift, at a nominal fee or at assessed value. There should be no obstacles to prevent this praise- worthy scheme becoming fact in a very short space of time. | However, several things should be made clear. (1) This is not low-rental housing for anyone. It is strictly for low-fixed- income couples, widows, widowers or single men who are quite capable of looking after themselves. (2) The housing project would provide these pensioners with self- contained homes at rents of approxi- mately $33.50 for married couples and $22.50 for single units. | + (3) Once built the units pay for themselves. They are not subsidized. The non-profit society operating the homes repays CMHC just the same as any other group or individual who borrows money onder the National Housing Act. (4) The plan would give widows, widowers, married pensioners who might through circumstances, be liv- ing with their families or under infer- ior living conditions, a chance to be on their own and live freely again. Allin all it is a terrific, wonderful humanitarian proposal that deserves solid support. A good turnout of well- informed delegates from service clubs and organizations on October 9, will ensure that a housing project for eld- erly citizens in Prince Rupert will have such support. - From Old Bailey to Little Rock : N the day that Governor Orval Faubus closed four Little Rock Wigh schools because the Supreme Court of the United States had ruled that one of them must accept negro -tudents, a judge in London spoke -ome words that should be listened to in Arkansas. Britain's recent race riots had been erceted in the American South with a certain joy. “You too,” the segrega- tionists sad, But mow, in the Old Bailey whose dome-tippine wilded statue of Justice dominates the City of London skyline wong with the cross atop St. Paul's, Mr. Justice Sir Cyril Salmon was mak- ing it plain that racial bigotry finds no shelter under the’ concept of Law. Sentencing nine youths to four years in prison for assaulting negroes and fomenting the Notting Hill “nig- ger hunt” of two weeks ago, he said: “You are a minute and insignifi- cant section of the population, but you have... filled the whole nation with horror, indignation and disgust. “Everyone, irrespective of the color of their skin, is entitled to walk through our streets in peace, with their heads erect and free from fear.” How long will the United States, which claims to subscribe to that same concept of the Law, tolerate the bent heads in Little Rock?
