fir plywood 12" x 13" are 

the major sections of this 

popular toy. Scraps for the

The erection sequence is - 

first - cut out the bottom and

triangular blocks to keep the 

wheel square and give further 

support to the axle. Glue and 

screw the bottom handles together. 

Next cut out the sides. It 

is suggested that the sides be

Editorial Page of The Cariboo Observer, Quesnel, Columbia, Thursday, April 9, 1964 

During recent years $18,000,000 has 

been spent on vocational training in 

B.C., and almost none of it in the field 

of agricultural training. 

When authorities were questioned 

on this seeming inconsistency they 

forthrightly replied that the main reason 

no agricultural education had been 

provided was that there had been no 

concrete interest shown by farmers in 

B.C. They pointed to the lack of attendance 

at high school agricultural courses 

and declining interest in short courses. 

All farmers know there are countless 

reasons for low attendance at agricultural 

courses, many of which are not 

the fault of the farmer. 

In the near future there is going to 

be a drastic revision of courses offered 

in B.C. high schools, and now is the 

time for all segments of agriculture to 

let the provincial and federal governments 

and farm organizations know 

exactly what they want in all phases 

It is pleasant to hear from Mr. 

Wirtz, secretary of labor in the Johnson 

cabinet, that young people should 

be kept at school compulsorily until 

they reach the age of eighteen. The idea 

is that this would reduce the working 

force and thereby lower the number of 

people who are unemployed. 

The reason this suggestion is received 

favorably is that it is nice to 

know that they have such silly people 

in high places in the United States. 

From time to time Canadian statesmen, 

so-called, propose something that is 

weird and nonsensical. Such people need 

company and to this distinguished company 

of Canadians Mr. Wirtz is now 

nominated. 

The idea of keeping young people 

in school against their will until they 

reach the age of eighteen would not do 

the children any good. Teachers of long 

experience even question the wisdom of 

compulsory school attendance up to the 

age of sixteen. There is a certain amount 

of schooling that every individual must 

take. He must, if he is of any intelligence 

at all, be able to read and write 

and do sums. There are other youngsters 

either unable or unwilling to go 

any further. These are better out trying 

to earn their living, or partially 

earn their living, than sitting in school 

waiting for that day when the calendar 

says they're sixteen and they can tell 

the teachers and the principal that 

they're off on their own. 

If the leaving age is raised to eighteen, 

there will be an expense to the 

There has been considerable comment 

recently in support of the theory 

that compulsory retirement at an earlier 

age would be good for workers and 

the economy. The argument goes that 

if in the immediate future industrial 

production workers were pensioned off 

at age 55—with an income high enough 

to sustain consumer purchasing power 

automation's threat would be met by 

the reduced size of the labor force. 

Then, if retirement age were steadily 

stepped down over the longer range, 

there would always be more jobs than 

workers, and unemployment would be 

banished. 

Drs. Richard Bing, Wayne State 

University, Detroit, and Oscar Magisdon, 

University of Southern California, 

Los Angeles, opined that if people could 

retire at 40 with all the money they 

needed, heart disease would be much 

more prevalent. "It's not the strain of 

competition that gets you," said the doctors. 

"It's the frustration, and there are 

frustrations in retirement. Do you know 

of any Utopia that works? 

"Strain and competition are not the 

cause of coronary heart disease. There's 

a difference between competition and 

frustration. We don't think competition 

is unhealthy, provided you have psyche 

to meet it. If you're frustrated in your 

Time To Speak Up 

of agricultural training, both at high 

school and adult levels. 

The B.C. Federation of Agriculture, 

in co-operation with the Department 

of Education and the Department of 

Agriculture is providing the means for 

all farmers to express their individual 

feelings by holding a series of meetings 

throughout the length and breadth of 

the province. 

Farm organizations are asking that 

all farmers take in these meetings so 

that the need of local regions can be 

taken into consideration in planning a 

co-ordinated program of agricultural 

education. 

The meeting for the Quesnel area 

is being held tomorrow evening at the 

Dragon Lake Hall and it is to be hoped 

that all those in this district who are 

interested in agriculture will make a 

sincere effort to be present. 

The time to speak up is now, if the 

best interests of agriculture are to be 

served. 

Wirtz Proposal 

Unlikely Utopia 

taxpayer, which is bad enough, but the 

real problem is that there will be an 

increase in the number of young people 

requiring psychiatric treatment. A 

compulsory idleness is an evil under 

any circumstances. Sitting in school 

learning nothing and not wanting to 

learn anything is compulsory idleness. 

Mr. Wirtz, bless his political soul, 

did direct attention to the fact that 

many jobs require more training than 

did similar jobs a generation ago. But 

compulsory schooling rarely makes for 

skill. The man or woman who requires 

the skill for a job and has the ambition 

will acquire the necessary qualifications 

without regimentation by the educationists. 

There are places in the world for 

people who have had rather little 

formal education. An editor of some 

skill and renown years ago used to say 

that of his small staff of three, one was 

from Oxford, one was from Edinburgh, 

and one a prize winner in a Canadian 

university. He himself, he boasted, ran 

away from school at eleven and went 

on the vaudeville stage. This, of course, 

is an exception, but there are other 

exceptions, presidents of great corporations 

who started in shipping departments. 

And there was a noted professor 

of economics in a Canadian university 

who himself never had a university 

degree. 

In generations back some boys loved 

to work with horses and did not need 

a degree in philosophy to be successful. 

All they needed was horse sense. 

job you'd be frustrated out of it." 

As to the economic implications of 

the early retirement theory, it must be 

recognized that paying workers for not 

working would have to be a charge on 

the economy. The pensions would have 

to be paid out of production. Unless the 

productivity of the reduced labor force 

could be increased in proportion, the 

added pension costs would simply be 

added to prices, raising living costs for 

all. 

A law compelling employers to provide 

early retirement pensions is in the 

realms of the possible, but legislation 

does not produce wealth. It is also 

within the realms of the possible that 

the law could compel employers to 

double all wages and salaries. But of 

course it would result in a loss rather 

than a gain to the public because there 

would have to be a compensating increase 

in the cost of living. 

Higher wages, shorter hours, more 

jobs, earlier retirement, better living 

standards—all are the fruit of economic 

growth, of increased wealth production. 

The gains achieved in the last decade 

or the last half century are obvious to 

all. But there is no magic wand of legislation 

to force that growth.

Report from the B.C. Capital 

By JAMES K. NESBITT 

VICTORIA - Slowly but inexorably 

Premier W. A, C. 

Bennett's Social Credit empire 

expands, and it will continue 

to expand as long as 

he's in charge. Without him, 

one suspects, Social Credit 

would soon collapse. 

He has his government into 

all sorts of businesses - and 

now it's the banking business, 

or soon will be, and he has 

appointed the first directors 

of the about-to-be-born Bank 

of British Columbia, which, 

the Premier hopes, will make 

Vancouver the San Francisco 

of Canada. 

The New Democratic Party 

approves of all this because, 

say its members, it's socialism. 

No, says the Premier, 

it's not socialism, for his 

is, he insists, a free enterprise 

government, dedicated 

to the freedom of the individual, 

with fairness for all and 

special privileges for none. 

To which the cynics give a 

loud "Oh, yeah?" 

The Premier's in the liquor 

business and the ferry 

business, the 

electric business 

and the 

railway business. 

One of 

these days, 

when he 

deems it politicallyexpedient 

for him, 

he may well 

be in the telephone business, 

which a lot of people would 

like to see, our telephone rates 

being now among the highest 

in all North America, if not 

the highest. 

Now the Premier has five 

more prominent people working 

for him and with him - 

the new bank directors - Harold 

B. Elworthy and John A. 

Wallace of Victoria, Einar M. 

Gunderson, William Mearns 

and Frederick Dietrich of

Community Profile — Pitkin 

Keith Pitkin originally moved 

to Quesnel to retire in 

1958, after visiting the area 

earlier on a vacation trip. 

His case seems to prove the 

old theory that ranchers never 

retire, for no sooner was he 

settled here than he was 

ranching again on the farm 

originally operated by Jack 

Ingham on the Quesnel River 

Road. 

The ranch includes an area 

of about 400 deeded acres 

and a range lease in the valley 

behind Dragon Mountain. On 

the cleared land at the home 

ranch a crop of timothy, 

broome and alfalfa hay is 

grown to serve as winter feed 

for 85 head of Herefords. 

The cleared land is in excellent 

condition, yielding about 

two tons of hay to the 

acre. 

Keith started to farm as 

a boy in Union County, Iowa, 

and worked in the hog and corn 

country until he moved to 

California in 1926, when he 

settled near Red Bluff. At 

that time the area around Red 

Bluff was primarily a sheep 

producing district but slowly 

this has changed until today 

it is almost exclusively beef. 

But again the pattern is changing 

as population sprawl pushes 

tlie ranchers out and the 

suburban home developers in. 

In his early days in California, 

Keith worked as a 

sheep shearer and subsequently 

moved into various types 

of farm work including a spell 

in the fruit and vegetable industry. 

Majority of the sheep herders 

are Basques from the 

soutli of France who work in 

the U.S. on contracts of up 

to five years. They draw very 

little pay and live out on the 

range with the flocks for most 

of the year. Some ofthe flocks 

have as many as 43,000 sheep 

divided in different bands under 

their own shepherds. 

Keith Pitkin has found that 

there are different problems 

to meet In ranging cattle in 

Cariboo, particularly where 

the range is dense and rough 

but by no means as steep as 

in California. He continues 

to take an active interest in 

farm problems, despite his 

proposed retirement and has 

served as a director of the 

Quesnel Cattlemen's Association 

for the past two years. 

and influential. 

Liberal leader Ray Perrault, 

who's against too much 

power for the Premier, suspects 

there's not much these 

five will be doing without first 

consulting Mr. Bennett, and 

in this Mr. Perrault Is doubtless 

quite right. This should 

be so, too, for after all, if 

there are millions of the public's 

money in this bank It's 

up to the Premier - Minister 

of Finance to know what's going 

on in the bank's every 

nook and cranny. 

Oppositionists in the Legislature 

look upon Einar Gunderson 

as the real power behind 

the Bennett Throne. They 

try and make of him a shady 

character and sinister figure, 

lurking around in the black of 

the midnight, pulling strings 

and wires, wickedly conniving 

and telling the Premier what 

to do - as if anyone could 

but his wife. 

Certainly Mr. Gunderson 

has never faded out of the 

public sight since that day 

nearly 12 years ago when the 

Premier pulled him out of 

some kind of a hat and made 

him minister of finance. Gunderson 

wasn't even elected 

then, so the Premier had the 

newly-elected Social Credit 

member for Similkameen resign 

so there could be a byelection. 

Gunderson won It, 

and so had a legislative seat. 

But, in the 1953 election, 

the Premier pulled one of his 

few tactical boobs. He had 

Gunderson run in Oak Bay, 

and there Mr. G. was soundly 

defeated. Then the Premier 

had a Social Crediter 

resign in Victoria city. 

Again there was a by-election 

which was supposed to get Mr. 

Gunderson into the House. But 

something went wrong. The 

voters, fed up with all this 

Social Credit hanky-panky, put 

in a Liberal. 

The Premier, gnashing his 

teeth, at that point gave up 

trying to get his favorite into 

the House, but he has never 

lost confidence in him, and 

wherever Mr. B. is Gundy's 

sure not to be too far away, 

ready to rush tothe Premier's 

side. 

It would appear now that 

Gunderson is headed for the 

presidency of the Bank of 

British Columbia, which will 

certainly put that institution 

right into the same bed as the 

Social Credit government, and 

along with liquor, trains, ferries, 

electric light, gas and 

buses.

madebyDr. C.N. Parkinson 

in a recent speech. I 

quote: 

'Observe, however, that my 

case is against monopoly, an^

There is something sick in 

the B.C. Teachers Federation 

If their mouthlngs in Vancouver 

are any guide, especially 

when they demand that 

scripture readings and prayer 

be thrown out of schools. If 

any other union made these 

suggestions they would be 

branded as dominated by subversive 

elements, and yet the 

teachers' trade union gets away 

with it. We can well do 

without the BCTF. 

One delegate to the recent 

eoinrmklon In the Bayshore 

Inn (In view of 

their cries of 

poverty each 

year Its Interesting 

to see 

where they 

meet) said if 

they did not 

get the motion 

on the floor 

then the convention 

should be left to the 

'panty-waist and the yes boys.* 

It Is interesting to see that 

one of their own number has 

confirmed the suspicions that 

have haunted some of us for 

a while • there are a large 

number of these types in the 

ranks. 

Their complaint that the 

state should stay out of religious 

education on the 

grounds that such a move 

would deny the right of freedom 

of religion is about as 

ridiculous as its possible to 

get and still stay out of an 

institution. 

Whenever you ask a teacher 

the aims and objectives 

of the academic program in 

our schools, the majority 

splutter for a while and then 

waltz around the subject with 

a few vague platitudes they 

picked up in some magazine. 

At the risk of treading into 

the sacred inner circle, I 

would like to offer my yardstick. 

The purpose of giving 

a child an education is to fit 

him for a place in society 

where he can cope with his 

own routine problems and in 

some small way contribute to 

the advancement of our society. 

In my view a sound knowledge 

of the basic moral principles 

of Christianity are an 

absolute necessity in any such 

program. 

The rather pathetic remark 

by one limp mind that the 

'atheist Chinese never went 

to war in 500 years' only 

heightens the pathetic state 

of affairs. The rise of secularism 

and its apparent increase 

could be the cause of 

our sad state. 

The majority of the Christian 

world is moving towards 

unity in basic theology and it 

is entirely possible that if 

an effort were made by men 

of good faith and not the 'panty-waists' 

then a basic program 

could be evolved. The 

blather about religious freedom 

is so much bunkum. The 

Royal Air Force, no mean instrument 

in the fight for freedom, 

insisted on church parades 

and some of the boys 

got a good deal out of it. I 

enjoyed it and so did many 

others who do not belong to 

the religious maniac class. 

There is such a thing as too 

much freedom. 

This situation is entirely 

the fault of the teachers and 

no one else. They claim to 

be a profession and are forever 

harping on their status. 

You may remember their position 

in society was hashed 

out in great detail at their 

last wage negotiation, when 

their business agent and a 

group of the shop stewards 

laid it on the line. 

If they want to hang onto 

this title they must accept 

responsibility for the poor 

state of affairs in religious 

education. They are the largest 

pressure group in the 

province in this field and they 

can get action if they want it, 

make no mistake about that. 

They don't want to do anything 

about it because they 

are infused with defeatism 

and pessimism. If they can't 

get the job done then its up 

to other groups to see that 

the government hears about 

it in no uncertain terms. 

The foundations of western 

society were laid on Christian 

principles and if these foundations 

are eroding and crumbling 

we know where the trouble 

lies. No amount of lecturing 

on biology, physics, geography 

or history can repair these 

foundations. Only a firm understanding 

of our basic religious 

tenets can. 

The position of the BCTF 

Is best summarized by that 

old agnostic George Bernard 

Shaw who said In the 'Doctors 

Dilemma' that 'all professions 

are a conspiracy against 

the laity'. I think we 

need a counter conspiracy to 

set them straight.

against nationalization merely 

because it means monopoly. 

Most of us here today are 

opposed, I would imagine, to 

nationalization. Many believe 

that free enterprise is best. 

In that belief I share, but only 

in so far as enterprise is free. 

We can and we should oppose 

the nationalization of further 

industries, but the effectiveness 

of our opposition must 

depend upon our own house being 

in order. 

We must never offer private 

monopoly as an alternative 

to public monopoly. We 

cannot defend the virtues of 

a competition which we have 

quietly abolished by trade agreements 

or merger. 

Against the threat of nationalization 

the giant monopolistic 

combine is defenceless.

distance. And naturally, if you 

want to drive out to friends or see 

the sights of the city, you'll find 

our friendly staff ready to point 

the way. Which brings us to one 

other thing that radiates from the

pitality we call it. After all, we've 

been radiating it for over 35 years.

the centre of things - the Georgia

The Editor, 


Dear Sir:- In the Vancouver 

Sun, Page 12, April 4th, 

is a report on TV rebroadcasting 

station applications, 

no-., before the BBG, 

The one that caught my 

eye and raised my temper 

and temperature was, quote 

*CKPG-TV Ltd. is applying 

to establish new TV rebroadcasting 

stations at Quesnel, 

Fort Fraser and Hixon which 

would carry the programs of 

CKPG-TV, Prince George.* 

I believe I am speaking 

for a large percentage of 

Quesnel's TV viewers when 

I say we do not want CKPG- 

TV - canned or otherwise. 

We, in our house, are very 

happy to have CFCR-TV with 

hockey games and other events 

when they happen, not a week 

or two weeks later. 

Personal friends of ours 

in Prince George tell us they 

don't turn on their TV more 

than once a month. I would 

not call that much of a recommendation. 

I understand CFCR-TV have 

had an application for increased 

power before the BBG 

for months now, with no de 

cision so far. Is there something 

behind the scenes to 

cause this long delay? 

I think it is time we backed 

up CFCR TV by writing 

the BBG to voice our preference. 

They (BBG) are 4000 

miles away and how can they 

know what is best for us unless 

we tell them. We are 

writing today. I hope others 

will take the time to do the 

same. 

Yours truly, 

(Mrs.) Edna Thompson. 

The Editor, 


Dear Sir:- I was shocked to 

read that the Teachers' Federation 

passed unanimously 

a resolution to abolish the 

prayer and scripture readings 

from the school curriculum. 

They claim the children are 

not deriving anything from 

these few moments of devotion. 

If they are not getting 

anything - then they are not 

being given anything. Could it 

be the fault of the teachers 

not knowing their subject? 

Dare they make this statement 

of other subjects? 

The teachers also claim 

it is up to the parents and 

ministers to teach the child-

ren - this is true up to a 

point. However, it really isn't 

a case of teaching in school - 

it happens to be a few moments 

of devotion togetlier. 

A Christian believes the 

Bible to be a way of life - 

therefore there should be no 

separation between the Bible 

and any phase of our lives, 

be it home, school, business 

or even politics. 

We rant and rave about our 

juvenile delinquency, increase 

in crime, broken homes and 

all the curses of today - at 

the same time denying and 

casting aside the very Book 

that gives us our morals and 

standards by which to live; 

If ; 

rJ's the time 

thus creating a confused and 

meaningless life. 

With parents, teachers and 

even ministers arguing and 

denying the Truth of the Bible 

- isn't it any wonder our 

younger generation, not to 

mention the adults, do not know 

which way to turn or what 

to believe. Could this be "The 

blind leading the blind?" 

We could very well be now 

reaping the results of our 

neglect of the Bible's teachings. 

Maybe we should all stop 

and take a serious, soulsearching 

look at our way of 

life and quit passing the buck. 

Those who do not wish to 

participate in prayer or bible 

readings, for reasons of their 

own, do not have to - no one 

is forcing them to or taking 

away their freedom. 

Therefore, let us who dare 

to be Christian stand up for 

what we claim to be, before 

we have nothing left. 

Yours truly, 

(Mrs.) Sylvia M. Hendry.

THURSDAY. APRIL 9. 1964 THE CARIBOO OBSERVER Sec. 4 

Of Potters Clay 

By VICTOR FIDDES 

It Is gratifying to learn that 

the "on agaln-off again" union 

discussions between Anglican 

and United Church leaders 

may soon be on again. 

An Anglican spokesman has 

said that the year 1964 will 

see something definite in the 

way of a proposal. 

The general feeling seems 

to be that if union or reunion 

is ever to be achieved, it will 

only be by the adoption, among 

other things, of episcopal orders 

on the part of the United 

Church of Canada. If this is 

simply a matter of church 

order, so be it I Let us have, 

bishops. Let us even have a 

bishop over the bishops. Our 

traditions need not stand in 

the way of this. Calvin was 

prepared to accept bishops, 

affirming that this kind of 

government came about "by 

human agreement through the 

necessity of the times". John 

Wesley for his part had nothing 

against bishops on the 

score Qf government; some 

of the most efficient bishops 

in the world today are found 

in the Methodist Church, U. 

S.A. 

But if we are to have episcopal 

government let us have 

a clear understanding of what 

is not involved. While a case 

can be made for episcopacy 

for the ordering of church 

life, some of us feel very 

strongly that no case can be 

made for it in the attempt 

to make an existing ministry 

valid or regular. Even the 

phrase "mutually accept-

In view of the fact that

able" seems to beg the question. 

To whom is the ministry 

to be acceptable? What 

P.T. Forsyth said a century 

ago still holds: "Only that 

gospel validates the ministry 

which created it." Certainly 

bishops and archbishops and 

cardinals and popes had nothing 

to do with cieating the 

Gospel. The ministry, like 

the laity, remains valid or 

regular according as it is 

effective for the furtherance 

of the Gospel. 

The Holy Spirit is not tied 

to eccesiastical orders 

though he may certainly 

choose to use them. The same 

Holy Spirit that may be leading 

our church to the acceptance 

of an episcopal form of 

government apparently is 

leading some churches away 

from it. There is a vigorous 

and growing "third force" of 

Christianity today that apparently 

wants to have nothing to 

do with so-called traditional 

church orders. The work and 

witness of Pentecostal and 

other groups in Latin America 

and elsewhere seem to suggest 

that the Holy Spirit is 

not confining his work and witness 

to fixed ecclesiastical 

moulds. The United Church 

of Canada in pursuing its mission 

"that all may be one" 

ought not to accept any concept 

of the ministry that separates 

it from this third force. 

From the 

United Church Observer. 

CPA To Restore Milk Run 

Canadian Pacific Airlines 

will restore the old "milk 

run" from Vancouver to 

Prince George when the spring 

and summer schedule goes 

into effect on April 26. At 

the same time Convairs will 

be placed back on the run. 

The move should result in 

improved service for Kamloops, 

Williams Lake and 

Quesnel since the daily flight 

will terminate at Prince 

George and passenger volume 

can be adequately handled on 

the smaller aircraft. 

When the new schedule goes 

into effect the daily southbound 

flight will leave Quesnel 

at 9;40 a.m., arriving 

in Vancouver at 12:30 p.m. 

after touch downs at Williams 

Lake and Kamloops. 

Northbound the plane will 

leave Vancouver at 5 p.m., 

arriving in Quesnel at 7:50 

p.m. 

Burt O'Handley, local CPA 

agent, points out that the earlier 

southbound departure will 

provide better connections for 

east and southbound passengers 

out of Vancouver. 

He adds that the flight will 

again be completely local serving 

only Kamloops, Cariboo 

points and Prince 'George. 

Retail spending in Canada 

totalled $18,433,091,000 in 

1963, nearly five per cent 

higher than the 1962 total.

Golden Text for Sunday Service 

"The kingdom of heaven is 

at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse 

the lepers, raise the dead, 

cast out devils; freely ye have 

received, freely give." These 

words from Matthew (ch. 10) 

will be used as the Golden 

Text at Christian Science 

church services next Sunday. 

The question, "Are Sin, 

Disease, and Death Real?" 

will be explored in passages 

from the Bible and the Christian 

Science textbook, including 

this statement: "God is 

not the author of mortal discords. 

Therefore we accept 

the conclusion that discords 

have only a fabulous existence, 

are mortal beliefs which divine 

Truth and Love destroy" 

(Science and Health with Key 

to the Scriptures by Mary 

Baker Eddy, p. 231.). 

GEMS OF THOUGHT . . .

misunderstood must look for

He who gains self-knowledge, 

self-control, and the kingdom

his own consciousness, is

Nazko Valley Report 

By CHRIS SHANE 

NAZKO VALLEY - Our St. 

Patrick's party was a tremendous 

success. The attendance 

was over 80 with most 

of the ranchers in the valley 

present along with many of 

the Indian folk from Kluskus, 

Trout Lake and here. 

The evening began with a 

brisk bingo game and after 

five hadbeen played Bill Leake 

auctioned off a few B.B.Q. 

chickens. Raymond Piltz, son 

of Mr. and Mrs. Eddy Piltz 

was the happy winner of the 

door prize and took home a 

brim-filled basket of Easter 

eggs and rabbits. 

Dancing was then enjoyed 

until 5 a.m. and we made a 

profit of $50 for the evening, 

thanks to the support of everyone 

attending. 

* • * 

Jerry Boyd of Kluskus passed 

away in Vancouver after a 

lengthy illness. He was in his 

eightieth year and is survived 

by his grandsons, Lloyd Boyd 

of Trout Lake and Morris 

Boyd of Nazko. Father Brown 

offered Mass in the Nazko 

Church followed by burial in 

the Nazko graveyard. 

* * * 

The school now has an excellent 

second hand piano. As 

funds in the Nazko Indian Recreation 

Association were quite 

low, the pupils offered to ask 

people In Quesnel to help them 

buy a piano. The total amount 

has not yet been received 

but we hope the next few 

weeks will see the realization 

of our hopes. 

With this piano remaining 

In the school I will give free 

piano lessons, either by note 

or by ear, to those in the 

valley wishing to learn to 

play. 

* * * 

On March 25 a son was born 

to Mr. and Mr Jean Louis 

Jack weighing 8 pounds 6 

ounces. 

* * • 

The family of Bill Leake 

were all able to be home for 

the Easter holiday, Jane from

Peter Glllls, Louise Poltras,

the Easter holidays at the 

Rainbow Lake Dude Ranch.

On Easter Sunday Phil Gillis, 

a Grade 7 pupil, broke 

his nose while hunting for 

Easter eggs in the hay stack. 

Luckily Dr. Holley was visiting 

in the valley on Monday 

and took Phil In to the G.R. 

Baker Memorial Hospital and 

he was discharged on Thursday.

Job Opportunity for 

UBC Graduates Good 

Employment opportunities 

for the University of British 

Columbia's 1964 graduating 

class have seldom been 

better, according to UBC placement 

officers. 

Nearly every graduate 

seeking employment has already 

been placed, A, F. 

Shlrran, director of UBC's 

student services division, 

said. 

About 90 per cent of the 

graduating class In engineering 

and 75 to 80 per cent of 

commerce graduates already 

have jobs. 

More than 200 business 

firms from all over Canada 

and representatives of 45 B.C, 

school boards have been interviewing 

graduating students on 

the campus since last November. 

Summer employment for 

undergraduate students Is a 

continuing problem, Shlrran 

said, but the situation Is improved 

over 1963. 

"We now have 2500 applications 

on file from undergraduates 

and we are eager 

to hear from firms anywhere 

in B.C. which may have jobs 

to offer beginning next 

month," he said. 

Letters have been written 

to more than 600 B.C. firms 

in recent months asking them 

to list their job requirements, 

Shlrran said. 

He added that engineering 

and forestry undergraduates 

have no difficulty In finding 

summer employment because 

they possess special skills. 

Scalers Exams Held On 

Two Mile Flat Friday 

Close to 50 scaling students 

met on Two Mile Flat Friday 

for a practical examination 

conducted by the B.C. Forest 

Service. The exam was under 

the direction of Joe Rogacz 

and Ken Morley, Inspectors 

of Licenced Scalers, from 

Prince George. 

The students have attended 

nine weeks of theoretical and 

three weeks of practical training 

conducted by Denis St. 

Amand under the Quesnel 

Adult Education Program. The 

classes covered all phases of 

interior scaling practice, 

formulas for both board and 

cubic measure, deduction formulas 

and identification of 

species. 

Final examination comprises 

scaling 50 logs, 25 by 

the cubic system and 25 by 

the board foot technique. In 

addition to the practical test, 

all students are required to 

write a four hour theory exam. 

To ensure accuracy in the 

practical scaling test all the 

logs used were independently 

examined by two Forest Service 

inspectors and students 

are required to have their 

estimates within a percentage 

tolerance of this scale. 

Mr. Denis St. Amand said he 

was delighted with the keen interest 

shown by the pupils who 

have travelled from as far as 

Horsefly and Prince George 

to take the test. Inspector of 

Scalers, Joe Rogacz, said he 

felt there will continue to be 

a demand for qualified 

scalers, particularly in the 

Prince George area.
