Stability The Real Issue
Next Monday the people of Cariboo,
along with all other Canadians, will go
to the polls to elect a new government.
The question of whether Canada accepts
nuclear arms or not is of minor
consequence with the U.S. and the
U.S.S.R. in possession of "overkill"
capacity, and what we do doesn't
matter, as long as we take on our
commitments wisely and then quietly
live up to them.
The only real issues leading up to
the April 8 election are economic. The
public should not allow itself to be
swayed by emotional appeals that are
impractical, unwise and unrealistic.
If Canada, as a nation, is to recover
from its political bankruptcy and
regain the re.spect of responsible people
everywhere, the only acceptable outcome
of next Monday's election will
be a majority government. This is not
easy come by in a country where
there are so many j^arties unless electors
discriminate against the phony
issues, half truths and not truths at all.
The inconclusive results of the election
last June 18 negated against the
possibility of facing up to the serious
problems with which Canada is confronted.
It is an all too true truism
that the people of a democracy tend to
get the kind of government they deserve;
if the past year was one of indecision,
this was the reflection of
the mood of the people.
Canada needs a stable government
that will take the difficult and perhaps
painful steps that are necessary to ensui'e
economic gi'owth. The job of the
voters is to elect such a govei-nment.
They can do this by assessing the parties
and the candidates, by making the
necessary compromises—for all democracy
is a compromise — between their
own political ideal and the best political
alternative that is available.
It has been demonstrated conclusively
in the past year that in our present
situation there is no room for splinter
parties in a government at Ottawa.
You, the votex's, have within your
hands the power to give our nation the
stability it needs. This can be done by
looking the basic issue squarely in the
face and in being sure to cast your
ballot next Monday.
Enthusiasm And Laziness
An editorial appearing in a recent
issue of the Powell River News is
particularly worthy of note since it
puts a finger on a situation which can
be found as readily here as in the
big pulp and paper community.
"A reader points out, with understandable
wryness," says the News,
"that only 780 out of 6,300 eligible
voters turned out to give their opinion
on a $136,000 school by-law. This was
12.5 per cent of the eligible voters.
"At the same time, however, 2,600
local residents signed a petition promulgated
by Univez'sity students to
"Back Mac". It is probable that the
2,600 knew even less about what they
were backing than the 5,500 school
taxpayers who stayed home.
"As an example of organization,
youthful enthusiasm and emotionalism,
the "Back Mac" campaign no doubt
achieved its goal. What it accomplished
in practical terms is extremely doubtful^
for mass petitions are not usually
worth much uiiless it is pretty well
established that those signing them
fully understand the demand being
made.
"A petition by all, or nearly all, of
the residents on a certain street to
have a sidewalk built, or the street
made one-way, or something of a like
nature will carry weight with a municipal
council when properly presented,
because it is obvious those people
know what is going on and all the' implications
of the petition.
"But a petition of thousands, or hundreds
of thousands of names, carries
less weight; the influence is roughly
in inverse proportion to the number of
signators. The figures in Powell River's
two petitions, one for schools and one
for the university, seem to demonstrate
that."
QUESNEL HJSTORY CONTINUES

Old Belgineau, as he was
knc'wn, was a well known character
in Qucsnei from about ia85
to ISOO. When he died he would
be about 80, as near as can be
determined from his stories.
He claimed to be over 100, but
this was hard to believe as he
would walk three miles or more

Something About Government
The State is a community of people
whose membership requires them to
live under the same code of behaviour.
To make this possible, they choose the
kind, quality and quantity of government
that best serves their needs today
and gives them hope for tomorrow.
There should be no mistake about
this dual function of government: it
must provide what is immediately necessary
and at the same time make
jlans designed to give every citizen the
jest opportunity to realize in future
the things he believes to be most
worthwhile.
We live in an age when shabby ideologies
promise short cuts. They take the
undramatic realities of society and
sculpture them into images, then fervently
stir up followers. They marry
selfishness and ignorance, and breed
conflict between races, creeds, individuals
and countries.
Those who live under Western democracy
must not be complacent about
theu' present felicity. They can retain
it only if they are alive to the spirit
behind the facade, as much aware of
the moral depths as of the material
surface features of democracy.
This may be brushed aside by some
people as being a too idealistic view of
govei'nment. But a government is expected
to have ideals — as do business,
science, education and all the other
social facets of life — or it is not living
up to its responsibilities.
liistory is, in the main, the story of
man's efforts to attain the best he can
imagine life to hold for him, and to
maintain order so that enrichment of
living may proceed generation after
generation. It is the purpose of government
to provide the environment in

grims aboard the Mayflower formed
themselves into "a civill body politick"
before their little ship reached the
shores of America. There is no evidence
within human history to support
the idea that a group of people
can exist without government. For an
example of anarchy all we need do is
stand at a busy street corner when the
traffic constable has left it for a few
minutes. Automobiles become tangled
as drivers manoeuvre to get through
and their horns snarl angrily.
Canadians do not look upon the
State as a sort of overlord, but a creature
of their own hands, a servant.
The government of the state is placed
in the hands of men and women be­
the first opportunity regarding
the early history of Quesnel.
Mrs. Earley came to Quesnel
in August, 1884, as tho town's
first school teacher, and later
became telegi-aph operator. In

From there we carried on,
jotting answers to many questions
v.'hicli make up an authentic
account of Belgineau's life .story
which follows.
Belgineau was the only survivor
of Ihe Quesnel Band of the
smallpox ei)idemic which .swept
tlirouL'h mn.st of what was first
known as New Caledonia in ]o()2.
The disease i)cgan in San
Francisco, and spread from there
to Bute Inlet, then through the
Chilcotin and Nazko and as far
north as Fra.sor Lake where the
cxlrcme cold halted its spread.
In some places, according to
Fatiicr Morice in his history of
the Northern Tntoi-ior, the great
majority died of the disease, and
in some ca.ses only those away
on traplines survived.
Belt^ineau was one of the fortunate
ones. He did not know of
the trouble as he was away from
home trapping and only became
aware of the situation when he
.".rrived at the Hudson's Bay Post
at .'Mexandria to trade his furs
for supplies to take home to his
family.
When he did arrive at Quesnel,
file village was then located on
the west side of the Fraser on
what is now the fishing reserve,
he found the place deserted and
all the dwellings burned to the
ground. His own home was only
a pile of ash.
The burning of buildings was
general practice in those days
as no one wished to take any
chances. Rather than bury the
dead the buildings were set on
fire and the bodies cremated in
their homes.
This was a great shock to Belgineau,
and he decided lo go
north where it would be easier
to forget his grief over the loss
of his family and friends.
Nothing much is known of his
movements for many years, except
that he drifted around the
northern part of the district making
his living trapping. He returned
to Quesnel about 1885,
making his home in an abandoned
miner's cabin at the foot
of what is now known as Sugar
Loaf.
As I remember him he was
quite bent over and almost blind.
He managed to exist on a very
small pension and what he could
beg from the stores, and the few
families which provided him
with old clothing.
In the fall of 1900 he was found
dead by a passing Indian where
he had fallen from a ledge and
broken his neck while gathering
wood for his camp fire. In the
summer and fall months he preferred
to live in a small tent and
cook over a camp fire.
The Indian who found him
noted that the body was in a
rather grotesque position, and
concluded that something of a
supernatural nature had caused
PRESS GALLERY
his death. Later, an Indian woman
returning from Bouchie
Lake about dusk, reported seeing
his ghost slowly moving
about behind his cabin, picking
up sticks for his camp fire.
This story was kept alive until
the 1920s, and Indians of the
older generation avoided passing
the spot except in daylight.

Sir:—Wc would like through
the medium of your paper to express
our gratifying and heartfelt
thanks to the Minor Hockey
Association and to the Quesnel
Riviers for the honour they bestowed
upon us in presenting us
with such lovely gifts at the recent
hockey game.
It has been a good number of
years that we have been privileged
to enjoy hockel in Quesnel.
In so doing we have seen the
boys who now make up the Riviers
grow in stature and hockey
playing ability which has enabled
them lo put on hockey performances
sucii as they have
done this year. i\Iuch credit is
due to those who have undertaken
to manage and coach
them. They are doing a fine job.
Special mention of Ed McAneeley
and the Minor Hockey executive
who have worked so
hard and given unsparingly of
their time during the past few
years. By so doing they have established
the Quesnel Minor
Hockey teams as second to none
in the province. This is something
that as parents and grandparents
also, we can be justly
proud of.
We would again say thank you
to all concerned who have given
us such fond memories to
treasure.

woman and at one time was sent
by her family to Canada for a
rest from political activity until
in 1918 another Manchester boy,
Prime Minister David Lloyd
George, introduced his Representation

gave women the vote.
How like women to go to so
much trouble to get something

way, and then, when they get it,
they ignore it.

tremendous responsibility to get

order out of chaos.
Our heads arc spinning, and
no wonder. The politicians of all

For what it's worth, I make
no secret of the fact thai I'm

I'm strongly North American. I
do nol want Canada lo be made

island. I am appalled at the way
Conservatives and NDPcrs would
have Canada sponge on the USA
lor protection. As for Social
Credit, T can't make up my mind
al all what it stands for, except
confusion.
Conservatives do not only try
to divide Canadians and Americans,
but they try also to divide
western Canadians from Eastern
Canadians, in a desperate effort,
I suppose, to conquer all on election
day.
Agricultural Minister Alvin
Hamilton, of Saskatchewan, says
that Social Credit Leader Thompson,
of Alberta, plotted with Tor­
onto financiers to remove Prime
Minister John Diefenbaker from
office. This, according to Hamilton,
is particularly bad. because
Thompson is a westerner and so
is Diefenbaker, and therefore
Thompson is a traitor to the
west. Did you ever hear tell of
such nonsense as that?
I don't like the way our PM
and NDP T.;eadcr Tommy Douglas
say ^.-ibcral Leader Pearson
gels his orders from Washington.
I think that is pure jealousy
on the pari of Messrs. Diefenbaker
and Douglas, because
Washington has never taken
either of them very seriously. I
am glad Pearson has come ri.ght
out and said lhat if he's elected
PM he'll right off seek a meeting
with President Kennedy. I
think that look courage, in view
of all his political enemies are
saying about his licking the Kennedy
boots.
It's a great fight the PM's
waging, and I admire him for it,
and I like the quiet, sincere and
pleasant looks of Mrs. Diefenbaker,
but underneath all the
whipped-up drama and the wild
shoutings, I cannot figure out
what Mr. Diefenbaker stands for,
except a vague Canada for Canadians,
whatever thai means. He
doesn't tell us how he's going to
accomplish this, except by trying
lo punch Uncle Sam in the
nose. He doesn't tell us what will
happen to us if he pushes .Americans
and I heir lovely dollars out
of this country. That's natural, I
suppose. You could hardly expect
him lo tell us we'd all fall
flat on our faces.
Yos, Monday's a big day. In
Ottawa, the experts predict a record
80 per cent turnout of the
voters. I hope that's so. It may
sound like a cliche, but I'd say
this is just about the most important
election in our history.
For the first time, the people of
Great Britain and the United
Slates, of Japan and Russia, of
all the Americas, including Cuba,
have their eyes on us as Canadians.
In this election we will
prove whether we're North
Americans, or whether we're
nothing but a little backwater,
sensitive, pompous and silly,
just a nuisance to our friends
and neighbors, a spoiled brat
sticking out our tongue at the
adults around us.
munist countries have of us. We
• do have an alternative to total
annihilation and that is to work
for and achieve, complete, universal
disarmament by negotiated
agreement. To work for
an atmosphere of understanding
and trust between nations whereby
this can be achieved is a main
objective of Voice of Women. A
climate of reduced tension would
make it possible for man to concentrate
on the peaceful pursuit
of conquering hunger, poverty
and ignorance.
We arc not interested or engaged
in undermining our way
of life, but rather in bettering it
in countless wtiys. At the same
time we see no reason to urge
the destruction of another's way
of life, as in destroying others
we would destroy all, including
ourselves. That is why our concern
must be for all mankind.
"Blessed are the Peacemakers,"
says the Bible. To recognize
our role in this era is to
live gloriously in Peace and for
Peace, and inherit a little of the
Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
Down what better corridor could
we travel in dignity and peace
and achieve public good?

Sir:—On the eve of one of tho
most important elections in Canada's
history it might be well to
ask ourselves why wo should
vole and how we should vote.
We elect our government (o
plan and manage our country's
business, and wc should vote for
the candidate and. parly most
likely lo give us good planning
and management. The government
is triislec and manager of
your money—lhe government as
such has not a nickel lo its
name. So—beware of lhe candidate
who tries to bribe you
with your own money—by promises
of lavish spending.
Remember—promises by candidates
are nol binding, that is
why some of them are so generous
with their promises. SUIl,
morally, promises constitute
debts According to that some
candidates would be bankrupt
before they even start.
We should try lo size up our
candidates, their integrity, Iheir
honesty, and also their intelligence
and their ability to handle
pubhc affairs.

Plywood Puts "Muscle"
On Low-Cost Buildings
Tlie rigid frame system of construction
was developed by engineers
of the Plywood Manufacturers
Association of B.C. to provide
economical low-cost buildings
for Canadian farmers.
Basically, rigid frames are
arches formed writh four straight
pieces of lumber joined together
by fir plywood gussets. Saw and
hammer are the only tools needed
to make them.
When a row of these rigid
frames is erected on a standard
foundation, the skeleton is
sheathed with fir plywood, to
provide "muscles."
The result is a building as long
as required, with no interior supports.
The ends of the building
do not contribute to its strength
and can be either left open or

Favor for Dens
There is a definite place for

This type furniture is used to
a great extent for dens, lounges
and living rooms.
"The sofas are preferred by
many customers with small
children," said one floor manager.
The furniture is usually displayed
in groupings, a sofa and
matching chairs, or two matching
chairs. Single sales of rockers
and lounge chairs are also
often made. Some chairs come
with matching ottomans.

Heed Directions When
Using Varnish Remover
Varnish and paint removers of doors and on surfaces where
come in a wide variety of types.
Some must be neutralized or
washed off after the finish has
been removed. Some are inflammable,
some are not. Therefore,
when you buy a remover, read
the directions carefully and follow
them to the letter no matter
what you read here or anywhere
else.
Generally, removers come in
liquid and semi-paste form, although
the latter fits more into

Mouldings Solve
Room Troblems'
Difficult decorating problems
often can be overcome by the
discreet use of wood mouldings.
A room that's too long will appear
to have better proportions
if wood mouldings are applied
vertically to the side walls at
regular intervals. The strips can
be painted to match or contrast
with walls or can be left the natural
wood color.
To give a pleasant lift to a
long, narrow hall, break up one
wall with panels of two different
colors separated by two vertical
mouldings. Leave the opposite
wall unpanelled and paint it just
one color.
Stock mouldings of yellow
cedar are available in many
sizes and styles to help the decorator,
whether amateur or
professional, improve the appearance
of a room at low cost.
Here are some additional tips
for decorating with stock mouldng:
Flush doors, plain cabinets,
and imfinished furniture: Add
strips of moulding to give the
popular provincial look.
Iligh ceilinged rooms: Attach
horizontal strip of moulding to
walls two or three feet above
floor, using contrasting paint or
paper below to make a dado.
Fireplace: Make a panel of
moulding above the fireplace and
hang pictures within it to give
traditional elegance to the focal
point of the room.
a liquid might drip too much
and run into the areas where it's
not wanted.
With most paint removers, the
product must be given time to
do its work, which is softening
the finish so that it can be scraped
off. A common mistake of
the novice is to start scraping
too soon.
One way to test this time period
is to jiggle the putty knife
on the surface to see whether
you are going to he able to get
down to the wood without difficulty.
If you can't, wait another
10 or 15 minutes before trying
again.
If the paint or varnish continues
to be stubborn, you prob^
ably have several layers to remove
and that means another
appUcation of remover. Place
the second coat of remover right
over the first and then wait a
while before tackling the scraping.
Use a dull putty knife and hold
it more vertical than horizontal
in order to minimize the chances
of gouging the wood.

brown finishes are still most popular,
but antiqued surfaces —
distressed fruitwood or burnished
white with gold accent trimming
— are dominant trends for
'63. Complementary fabrics in
upholstery and drapery materials
offer even bolder colors, in
solids and prints, for the coming
year. In upholstered furniture
the elegant look means added
comfort—plush loose-back cushions,
side arm bolsters, and
higher backs on sofas and chairs.
The Mediterranean influence,
incorporating Spanish, Roman,
Greek styling touches, is reflected
in metal and wood grillwork
effects, the sweep of classic arch
designs in leg and cabinet structures,
and expanded use of
marble table tops. Mediterranean
fashioned upholstery fabrics
boast vivid colors and large
floral prints.
Beauty of Wood
Easy to Maintain
It takes little trouble these
days to keep the natural beauty
of wood looking its best.
If your wood furniture has already
accumulated battle scars
here's what to do:
Light burns may disappear
when rubbed with your usual
polish. The furniture may have
to be treated professionally if
the burn is too deep to respond
to this method.
Grease spots should be wiped
with a cloth moistened with
cleaning fluid; then polish.
Heat marks, those annoying
white spots before the homemakers
eyes, can often be removed
by a cloth dampened with camphor
oil, peppermint oil or turpentine.
Watermarks. Remove old wax
with a generous application of
liquid wax, then wipe with dry
cloth and polish.
INLAYS GIVE
COLOR CHANGE
Inlay is a design in the surface
of furniture formed by inserting
woods, ivory, metal or
other materials of contrasting
color. These are set in tiny
grooves cut to receive them.
Borders and ornamental patterns
are obtained by the inlay
method.

Does God Really Answer Prayer?
By REV. DON OSBORNE
(Address all correspondence to
The Pastor's Study, Box 122,
Quesnel, B.C. Every question
will be answered personally if
the return address is submitted.
All letters will be held in confidence).
Q. Docs God really answer
prayer? I have prayed for things
and have found no answer. How
do I know if He even hears me?
A. It is a frustrating thing to
have a problem without knowing
the answer or in this case the
reason why. Many have wondered
about the same thing. "If God
answers prayer then why doesn't
Ke answer mine?" Let me remind
you that the Bible is God's
message to mankind. In it He
even gives the reason for this
problem. I would like to show
you three answers the Bible gives
for unanswered prayer.
1) Psalm 66:18: "If I regard
iniquity in my heart, the Lord
will not hear me."
When your child has done
wrong the first thing you want
him to say is "I am sorry." not,
"Can I have some candy?" The
basis ior God answering pra.yer
must rest on a right relationship
v/ith Him. God wants to answer
prayer but it says "He will not
hear" if there is sin in the heart.
2) James 4:3: "Ye ask, and
receive not, because ye ask
.imiss, that ye may consume it
jpon your lusts."
Prayer must never be some-
.hing of a covetous nature. Selishness
is not a good basis for
asking from the Lord.
3) . Mark 11:34: "What things
iioever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them,
and ye shall have them."
Possibly you are a Christian
and you have not been praying
selfishly but there is one more
thing and that is Believing or
Faith. May prayer become an
exciting thing for you. "God said
it and I believe it." Remember
He not only hears but He desires
to answer prayer as we trust
Him.
DOES GOD HEAR?
If radio's fingers can pluck a
melody
From night, and toss it over a
continent or sea—
If the petaled white notes of a
violin
Are blown across a mountain or
a city's din—
If songs, like crimson roses are
culled from thin blue air.
Why should mortals wonder—If
God hears prayer?
Q. Do you think religion
should be modernized to meet
today's needs or is the Gospel
Jesus and His disciples preached
effective for today?
A. This question deals with
three thoughts that I would like
to comment on. First; by modernization
of religion if you mean
'it should be changed," I would
say emphatically "no." Secondly:
"Should it be changed to meet
today's needs." Basically the

needs, problems a.id frustrations
are much the same today as in
biblical times. We can't compare
spears and atomic weapons and
say they are the same, but I believe
the fear of them is basically
the same prcbicm. The Bible's
answers are up to date; it works
in 1963. Thirdly; the gospel Jesus
and His disciples preached is effective
for today. What we read
in the Bible is not for those people
only. The editor of "Christian
Life," a widely-read, non-denominational
church magazine, said.
"In every major denomination
we are receiving reports of experiences
the same as in the
Bible days." The Gospel Jesus
and His disciples preached is effective
for today. Let us never
limit God.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL...
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor
on earth for the building of character
and good citizenship. It is a storehouse
of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church, neither democracy
nor civilization can survive. There
are four sound reasons why every
person should attend services regularly
and support the Church. They
are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For
his children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and material
support. Plan to go to church regularly
and read your Bible daily.

All dressed up, the expression goes, and no place to g'o. These boys are
hardly "dressed up." But the rest of the description fits them perfectly.
They are two of the millions of American children who are growing up
WITHOUT A CHURCH. Boys with the God-given right to grow up in faith
. . . with the American right to worship God freely according to the dictates
of their own conscience. But someone hasn't understood their rights.
Parents who make no provision for their children's religious education
are, in effect, robbing these children of the most precious heritage of every
American. Grownups who, by the tell-tale example of indifference, encourage
boys and girls to emulate the Godlessness that the Iron Curtain seeks
to foster are undermining the spiritual substance of our nation.
No more serious problem faces Amei'ica today than the children who on
Sunday morning in a land of churches have no place to go.
Honestly, now, are you creating the problem—or helping to conquer it?

Opening lead Queen Diamonds.
South went down one quite unnecessarily
in today's hand. He
won the cponing lead in his hand,
drew trumps and then led a
small Heart. West played low
alowing dummy's Queen to win
the trick.
The o.nly "entry" declarer has
in his hand now was the King
of Clubs, and this depended on
East holding tho Ace. When tho
Ace showed up behind him declarer
lost two Club tricks, one
Heart and one Diamond.
This hand should be made.
Looking at it from declarer's
hand he must find the Acc ai
Hearts in West's hand (if East
holds it and switches to a Club,
then declarer is always down).
If it's there then both of North's
honors will win tricks as long
as the board can be led twice.
Declarer is on lead once with
the Ace of Diamonds but he
shouldn't have gambled on his
King of Clubs being an entry: he
has a sure entry in the trump
suit. After winning the opening
lead in his hand declarer can
afford to draw one round of
trumps and then should lead a
Heart. West will duck rif he goes
up to the Acc there are no i)roblems)
and declarer will re-enter,
his hand by leading dummy's
last trump.
Now a third round of trumps
clears the suit and the other little
Heart is led. West must go
up now but the defence is helpless
— declarer can get into
dummy via the Diamond King
and discard a Club or Diamond
on the Heart King.
