editions of today and
Wednesday.

Dr. F.W. Hanley, an

Physicians for Social«:
Responsibility, says he was —
disappointed in the council's
rejection of his request for
the referendum which will
be held in more than 150:
municipalities across
Canada, including North
Vancouver District.

Canadians.” he says.

Hanley is chairman of a
citizens’ referendum
committee which also in-
cludes Dr. Marlene Hunter.
The committee is taking up
council's suggestion made at
the time when it rejected the
request for a referendum,
that “each and every citizen
of this comminity make their
views individually known to
the prime minister who,
through the parliament, can
make the views known of all
Canadians."
