Heaps Achieved Fame in Canada Abraham Albert Heaps, who •was a CCF member of Parlia- ment for Winnipeg North, achieved something truly nota- ble in Canadian government. It was through his efforts in the House of Commons and his in- fluence with the late Prime Min- isters R. B. Bennett and W. L. MacKenzie King, that he, more than any individual, was respon- sible for the passage of the Unemployment Insurance Act and the Old Age Pensions Bill. One of the West's best known labor leaders, he was elected to Parliament in 1925 as an Inde- pendent Labor member and was re-elected, in 1926 and again in 1930. He became a member of the CCF in 1930 and represented Winnipeg North for the party until 1940. Always active in Jewish cir- cles, he intervened successfully with the Minister of Finance in 1933, to .permit the bringing into Canada, of Palestinian oranges, duty free. He served as a delegate of the Canadian government to the 30th session of the general con- ference of the International Labor Organization in Geneva, in 1947, as a technical advisor. Heaps died suddenly in Bournemouth, England, in 1954, and was buried in Leeds, where he was born, and from where he came to Canada in 1911. He had two sons, Leo J. Heaps, of Montreal, and David Heaps, of New York and Paris.
