of their report will be The writing
of a Bill of Rights for Canadian
citizens.
The feeling in the last session
of the parliament, when the Citi­
zenship Act was being discussed,
was that some kind of a law was
necessary to safeguard individual
rights. This feeling was shared
widely by members in all political
parties.
In the front line among those
who are crusading for a CanaBill of Rights is John Diefen baker. Progressive Conservative member from Lake Centre,
Sask. The movement has en­
thusiastic support from E. D.
Fulton (PC)’ from Kamloops,
Alistair .Stewart (CCF) from
Winnipeg, Solon Low (SC) from
Peace River, Alta., David Croll
(L) from Toronto and others.
Some provinces have adopted ciare planning to adopt their own
Bill of Rights. Alberta enacted a
Bill of Rights, last year, and Sas­
katchewan’s CCF government is
expected to introduce a similar
measure during the current ses­
sion.

At Moose Jaw, there are some
268 persons left in the hostel.
Of these 52 are single men,
mostly ex-internees, while the
rest are part of 42 families.
While a majority' of the employ­
able adults are working in the kit­
chen and other hostel mainte­
nance duties, there are some peo­
ple who have taken jobs outside
the hostel. These workers are em­
ployed in positions like hotel port­
ers, dishwashers, dry cleaning
plant workers, garage workers,
merchant, and domestics.
In the case where some mem­
ber of the family works outside
the hostel the members of the
family Jiving in the hostel are be­
ing charged for board and food.
Rooms are being charged ar rhe
monthly rates of 87.50 and 85
while each meal is 5 cents per
person whether adfllt or child. In
addition income tax is being deducted but family..allowances are
not granted, It is felt that these
people are not receiving fair
treatment.

In Moose Jaw as in other hos­
tels; the chief obstacle to the de­
parture cf most hostellers from
government care is the lack of liv­
ing quarters to go to. There has
been some movement from the
hostel recently, however, with two
families going to Alberta beet
farms, one family to Winnipeg for
carpentry work, and another fam­
ily to the same city for restaurant
work. In the near future two fam­
ilies are to go to Alberta to work
in. a fish cannery.
