Editorial Page of The Cariboo Observer, <strong>Quesnel</strong>, Columbia, Thursday, April 9, 1964<br />
During recent years $18,000,000 has<br />
been spent on vocational training in<br />
B.C., and almost none of it in <strong>the</strong> field<br />
of agricultural training.<br />
When authorities were questioned<br />
on this seeming inconsistency <strong>the</strong>y<br />
forthrightly replied that <strong>the</strong> main reason<br />
no agricultural education had been<br />
provided was that <strong>the</strong>re had been no<br />
concrete interest shown by farmers in<br />
B.C. They pointed to <strong>the</strong> lack of attendance<br />
at high school agricultural courses<br />
and declining interest in short courses.<br />
All farmers know <strong>the</strong>re are countless<br />
reasons for low attendance at agricultural<br />
courses, many of which are not<br />
<strong>the</strong> fault of <strong>the</strong> farmer.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> near future <strong>the</strong>re is going to<br />
be a drastic revision of courses offered<br />
in B.C. high schools, and now is <strong>the</strong><br />
time for all segments of agriculture to<br />
let <strong>the</strong> provincial and federal governments<br />
and farm organizations know<br />
exactly what <strong>the</strong>y want in all phases<br />
It is pleasant to hear from Mr.<br />
Wirtz, secretary of labor in <strong>the</strong> Johnson<br />
cabinet, that young people should<br />
be kept at school compulsorily until<br />
<strong>the</strong>y reach <strong>the</strong> age of eighteen. The idea<br />
is that this would reduce <strong>the</strong> working<br />
force and <strong>the</strong>reby lower <strong>the</strong> number of<br />
people who are unemployed.<br />
The reason this suggestion is received<br />
favorably is that it is nice to<br />
know that <strong>the</strong>y have such silly people<br />
in high places in <strong>the</strong> United States.<br />
From time to time Canadian statesmen,<br />
so-called, propose something that is<br />
weird and nonsensical. Such people need<br />
company and to this distinguished company<br />
of Canadians Mr. Wirtz is now<br />
nominated.<br />
The idea of keeping young people<br />
in school against <strong>the</strong>ir will until <strong>the</strong>y<br />
reach <strong>the</strong> age of eighteen would not do<br />
<strong>the</strong> children any good. Teachers of long<br />
experience even question <strong>the</strong> wisdom of<br />
compulsory school attendance up to <strong>the</strong><br />
age of sixteen. There is a certain amount<br />
of schooling that every individual must<br />
take. He must, if he is of any intelligence<br />
at all, be able to read and write<br />
and do sums. There are o<strong>the</strong>r youngsters<br />
ei<strong>the</strong>r unable or unwilling to go<br />
any fur<strong>the</strong>r. These are better out trying<br />
to earn <strong>the</strong>ir living, or partially<br />
earn <strong>the</strong>ir living, than sitting in school<br />
waiting for that day when <strong>the</strong> calendar<br />
says <strong>the</strong>y're sixteen and <strong>the</strong>y can tell<br />
<strong>the</strong> teachers and <strong>the</strong> principal that<br />
<strong>the</strong>y're off on <strong>the</strong>ir own.<br />
If <strong>the</strong> leaving age is raised to eighteen,<br />
<strong>the</strong>re will be an expense to <strong>the</strong><br />
There has been considerable comment<br />
recently in support of <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>ory<br />
that compulsory retirement at an earlier<br />
age would be good for workers and<br />
<strong>the</strong> economy. The argument goes that<br />
if in <strong>the</strong> immediate future industrial<br />
production workers were pensioned off<br />
at age 55—with an income high enough<br />
to sustain consumer purchasing power<br />
automation's threat would be met by<br />
<strong>the</strong> reduced size of <strong>the</strong> labor force.<br />
Then, if retirement age were steadily<br />
stepped down over <strong>the</strong> longer range,<br />
<strong>the</strong>re would always be more jobs than<br />
workers, and unemployment would be<br />
banished.<br />
Drs. Richard Bing, Wayne State<br />
University, Detroit, and Oscar Magisdon,<br />
University of Sou<strong>the</strong>rn California,<br />
Los Angeles, opined that if people could<br />
retire at 40 with all <strong>the</strong> money <strong>the</strong>y<br />
needed, heart disease would be much<br />
more prevalent. "It's not <strong>the</strong> strain of<br />
competition that gets you," said <strong>the</strong> doctors.<br />
"It's <strong>the</strong> frustration, and <strong>the</strong>re are<br />
frustrations in retirement. Do you know<br />
of any Utopia that works?<br />
"Strain and competition are not <strong>the</strong><br />
cause of coronary heart disease. There's<br />
a difference between competition and<br />
frustration. We don't think competition<br />
is unhealthy, provided you have psyche<br />
to meet it. If you're frustrated in your<br />
Time To Speak Up<br />
of agricultural training, both at high<br />
school and adult levels.<br />
The B.C. Federation of Agriculture,<br />
in co-operation with <strong>the</strong> Department<br />
of Education and <strong>the</strong> Department of<br />
Agriculture is providing <strong>the</strong> means for<br />
all farmers to express <strong>the</strong>ir individual<br />
feelings by holding a series of meetings<br />
throughout <strong>the</strong> length and breadth of<br />
<strong>the</strong> province.<br />
Farm organizations are asking that<br />
all farmers take in <strong>the</strong>se meetings so<br />
that <strong>the</strong> need of local regions can be<br />
taken into consideration in planning a<br />
co-ordinated program of agricultural<br />
education.<br />
The meeting for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Quesnel</strong> area<br />
is being held tomorrow evening at <strong>the</strong><br />
Dragon Lake Hall and it is to be hoped<br />
that all those in this district who are<br />
interested in agriculture will make a<br />
sincere effort to be present.<br />
The time to speak up is now, if <strong>the</strong><br />
best interests of agriculture are to be<br />
served.<br />
Wirtz Proposal<br />
Unlikely Utopia<br />
taxpayer, which is bad enough, but <strong>the</strong><br />
real problem is that <strong>the</strong>re will be an<br />
increase in <strong>the</strong> number of young people<br />
requiring psychiatric treatment. A<br />
compulsory idleness is an evil under<br />
any circumstances. Sitting in school<br />
learning nothing and not wanting to<br />
learn anything is compulsory idleness.<br />
Mr. Wirtz, bless his political soul,<br />
did direct attention to <strong>the</strong> fact that<br />
many jobs require more training than<br />
did similar jobs a generation ago. But<br />
compulsory schooling rarely makes for<br />
skill. The man or woman who requires<br />
<strong>the</strong> skill for a job and has <strong>the</strong> ambition<br />
will acquire <strong>the</strong> necessary qualifications<br />
without regimentation by <strong>the</strong> educationists.<br />
There are places in <strong>the</strong> world for<br />
people who have had ra<strong>the</strong>r little<br />
formal education. An editor of some<br />
skill and renown years ago used to say<br />
that of his small staff of three, one was<br />
from Oxford, one was from Edinburgh,<br />
and one a prize winner in a Canadian<br />
university. He himself, he boasted, ran<br />
away from school at eleven and went<br />
on <strong>the</strong> vaudeville stage. This, of course,<br />
is an exception, but <strong>the</strong>re are o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
exceptions, presidents of great corporations<br />
who started in shipping departments.<br />
And <strong>the</strong>re was a noted professor<br />
of economics in a Canadian university<br />
who himself never had a university<br />
degree.<br />
In generations back some boys loved<br />
to work with horses and did not need<br />
a degree in philosophy to be successful.<br />
All <strong>the</strong>y needed was horse sense.<br />
job you'd be frustrated out of it."<br />
As to <strong>the</strong> economic implications of<br />
<strong>the</strong> early retirement <strong>the</strong>ory, it must be<br />
recognized that paying workers for not<br />
working would have to be a charge on<br />
<strong>the</strong> economy. The pensions would have<br />
to be paid out of production. Unless <strong>the</strong><br />
productivity of <strong>the</strong> reduced labor force<br />
could be increased in proportion, <strong>the</strong><br />
added pension costs would simply be<br />
added to prices, raising living costs for<br />
all.<br />
A law compelling employers to provide<br />
early retirement pensions is in <strong>the</strong><br />
realms of <strong>the</strong> possible, but legislation<br />
does not produce wealth. It is also<br />
within <strong>the</strong> realms of <strong>the</strong> possible that<br />
<strong>the</strong> law could compel employers to<br />
double all wages and salaries. But of<br />
course it would result in a loss ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />
than a gain to <strong>the</strong> public because <strong>the</strong>re<br />
would have to be a compensating increase<br />
in <strong>the</strong> cost of living.<br />
Higher wages, shorter hours, more<br />
jobs, earlier retirement, better living<br />
standards—all are <strong>the</strong> fruit of economic<br />
growth, of increased wealth production.<br />
The gains achieved in <strong>the</strong> last decade<br />
or <strong>the</strong> last half century are obvious to<br />
all. But <strong>the</strong>re is no magic wand of legislation<br />
to force that growth.<br />

Report from <strong>the</strong> B.C. Capital<br />
By JAMES K. NESBITT<br />
VICTORIA - Slowly but inexorably<br />
Premier W. A, C.<br />
Bennett's Social Credit empire<br />
expands, and it will continue<br />
to expand as long as<br />
he's in charge. Without him,<br />
one suspects, Social Credit<br />
would soon collapse.<br />
He has his government into<br />
all sorts of businesses - and<br />
now it's <strong>the</strong> banking business,<br />
or soon will be, and he has<br />
appointed <strong>the</strong> first directors<br />
of <strong>the</strong> about-to-be-born Bank<br />
of British Columbia, which,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Premier hopes, will make<br />
Vancouver <strong>the</strong> San Francisco<br />
of Canada.<br />
The New Democratic Party<br />
approves of all this because,<br />
say its members, it's socialism.<br />
No, says <strong>the</strong> Premier,<br />
it's not socialism, for his<br />
is, he insists, a free enterprise<br />
government, dedicated<br />
to <strong>the</strong> freedom of <strong>the</strong> individual,<br />
with fairness for all and<br />
special privileges for none.<br />
To which <strong>the</strong> cynics give a<br />
loud "Oh, yeah?"<br />
The Premier's in <strong>the</strong> liquor<br />
business and <strong>the</strong> ferry<br />
business, <strong>the</strong><br />
electric business<br />
and <strong>the</strong><br />
railway business.<br />
One of<br />
<strong>the</strong>se days,<br />
when he<br />
deems it politicallyexpedient<br />
for him,<br />
he may well<br />
be in <strong>the</strong> telephone business,<br />
which a lot of people would<br />
like to see, our telephone rates<br />
being now among <strong>the</strong> highest<br />
in all North America, if not<br />
<strong>the</strong> highest.<br />
Now <strong>the</strong> Premier has five<br />
more prominent people working<br />
for him and with him -<br />
<strong>the</strong> new bank directors - Harold<br />
B. Elworthy and John A.<br />
Wallace of Victoria, Einar M.<br />
Gunderson, William Mearns<br />
and Frederick Dietrich of<br />

Community Profile — Pitkin<br />
Keith Pitkin originally moved<br />
to <strong>Quesnel</strong> to retire in<br />
1958, after visiting <strong>the</strong> area<br />
earlier on a vacation trip.<br />
His case seems to prove <strong>the</strong><br />
old <strong>the</strong>ory that ranchers never<br />
retire, for no sooner was he<br />
settled here than he was<br />
ranching again on <strong>the</strong> farm<br />
originally operated by Jack<br />
Ingham on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Quesnel</strong> River<br />
Road.<br />
The ranch includes an area<br />
of about 400 deeded acres<br />
and a range lease in <strong>the</strong> valley<br />
behind Dragon Mountain. On<br />
<strong>the</strong> cleared land at <strong>the</strong> home<br />
ranch a crop of timothy,<br />
broome and alfalfa hay is<br />
grown to serve as winter feed<br />
for 85 head of Herefords.<br />
The cleared land is in excellent<br />
condition, yielding about<br />
two tons of hay to <strong>the</strong><br />
acre.<br />
Keith started to farm as<br />
a boy in Union County, Iowa,<br />
and worked in <strong>the</strong> hog and corn<br />
country until he moved to<br />
California in 1926, when he<br />
settled near Red Bluff. At<br />
that time <strong>the</strong> area around Red<br />
Bluff was primarily a sheep<br />
producing district but slowly<br />
this has changed until today<br />
it is almost exclusively beef.<br />
But again <strong>the</strong> pattern is changing<br />
as population sprawl pushes<br />
tlie ranchers out and <strong>the</strong><br />
suburban home developers in.<br />
In his early days in California,<br />
Keith worked as a<br />
sheep shearer and subsequently<br />
moved into various types<br />
of farm work including a spell<br />
in <strong>the</strong> fruit and vegetable industry.<br />
Majority of <strong>the</strong> sheep herders<br />
are Basques from <strong>the</strong><br />
soutli of France who work in<br />
<strong>the</strong> U.S. on contracts of up<br />
to five years. They draw very<br />
little pay and live out on <strong>the</strong><br />
range with <strong>the</strong> flocks for most<br />
of <strong>the</strong> year. Some of<strong>the</strong> flocks<br />
have as many as 43,000 sheep<br />
divided in different bands under<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir own shepherds.<br />
Keith Pitkin has found that<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are different problems<br />
to meet In ranging cattle in<br />
Cariboo, particularly where<br />
<strong>the</strong> range is dense and rough<br />
but by no means as steep as<br />
in California. He continues<br />
to take an active interest in<br />
farm problems, despite his<br />
proposed retirement and has<br />
served as a director of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Quesnel</strong> Cattlemen's Association<br />
for <strong>the</strong> past two years.<br />
and influential.<br />
Liberal leader Ray Perrault,<br />
who's against too much<br />
power for <strong>the</strong> Premier, suspects<br />
<strong>the</strong>re's not much <strong>the</strong>se<br />
five will be doing without first<br />
consulting Mr. Bennett, and<br />
in this Mr. Perrault Is doubtless<br />
quite right. This should<br />
be so, too, for after all, if<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are millions of <strong>the</strong> public's<br />
money in this bank It's<br />
up to <strong>the</strong> Premier - Minister<br />
of Finance to know what's going<br />
on in <strong>the</strong> bank's every<br />
nook and cranny.<br />
Oppositionists in <strong>the</strong> Legislature<br />
look upon Einar Gunderson<br />
as <strong>the</strong> real power behind<br />
<strong>the</strong> Bennett Throne. They<br />
try and make of him a shady<br />
character and sinister figure,<br />
lurking around in <strong>the</strong> black of<br />
<strong>the</strong> midnight, pulling strings<br />
and wires, wickedly conniving<br />
and telling <strong>the</strong> Premier what<br />
to do - as if anyone could<br />
but his wife.<br />
Certainly Mr. Gunderson<br />
has never faded out of <strong>the</strong><br />
public sight since that day<br />
nearly 12 years ago when <strong>the</strong><br />
Premier pulled him out of<br />
some kind of a hat and made<br />
him minister of finance. Gunderson<br />
wasn't even elected<br />
<strong>the</strong>n, so <strong>the</strong> Premier had <strong>the</strong><br />
newly-elected Social Credit<br />
member for Similkameen resign<br />
so <strong>the</strong>re could be a byelection.<br />
Gunderson won It,<br />
and so had a legislative seat.<br />
But, in <strong>the</strong> 1953 election,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Premier pulled one of his<br />
few tactical boobs. He had<br />
Gunderson run in Oak Bay,<br />
and <strong>the</strong>re Mr. G. was soundly<br />
defeated. Then <strong>the</strong> Premier<br />
had a Social Crediter<br />
resign in Victoria city.<br />
Again <strong>the</strong>re was a by-election<br />
which was supposed to get Mr.<br />
Gunderson into <strong>the</strong> House. But<br />
something went wrong. The<br />
voters, fed up with all this<br />
Social Credit hanky-panky, put<br />
in a Liberal.<br />
The Premier, gnashing his<br />
teeth, at that point gave up<br />
trying to get his favorite into<br />
<strong>the</strong> House, but he has never<br />
lost confidence in him, and<br />
wherever Mr. B. is Gundy's<br />
sure not to be too far away,<br />
ready to rush to<strong>the</strong> Premier's<br />
side.<br />
It would appear now that<br />
Gunderson is headed for <strong>the</strong><br />
presidency of <strong>the</strong> Bank of<br />
British Columbia, which will<br />
certainly put that institution<br />
right into <strong>the</strong> same bed as <strong>the</strong><br />
Social Credit government, and<br />
along with liquor, trains, ferries,<br />
electric light, gas and<br />
buses.<br />

There is something sick in<br />
<strong>the</strong> B.C. Teachers Federation<br />
If <strong>the</strong>ir mouthlngs in Vancouver<br />
are any guide, especially<br />
when <strong>the</strong>y demand that<br />
scripture readings and prayer<br />
be thrown out of schools. If<br />
any o<strong>the</strong>r union made <strong>the</strong>se<br />
suggestions <strong>the</strong>y would be<br />
branded as dominated by subversive<br />
elements, and yet <strong>the</strong><br />
teachers' trade union gets away<br />
with it. We can well do<br />
without <strong>the</strong> BCTF.<br />
One delegate to <strong>the</strong> recent<br />
eoinrmklon In <strong>the</strong> Bayshore<br />
Inn (In view of<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir cries of<br />
poverty each<br />
year Its Interesting<br />
to see<br />
where <strong>the</strong>y<br />
meet) said if<br />
<strong>the</strong>y did not<br />
get <strong>the</strong> motion<br />
on <strong>the</strong> floor<br />
<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> convention<br />
should be left to <strong>the</strong><br />
'panty-waist and <strong>the</strong> yes boys.*<br />
It Is interesting to see that<br />
one of <strong>the</strong>ir own number has<br />
confirmed <strong>the</strong> suspicions that<br />
have haunted some of us for<br />
a while • <strong>the</strong>re are a large<br />
number of <strong>the</strong>se types in <strong>the</strong><br />
ranks.<br />
Their complaint that <strong>the</strong><br />
state should stay out of religious<br />
education on <strong>the</strong><br />
grounds that such a move<br />
would deny <strong>the</strong> right of freedom<br />
of religion is about as<br />
ridiculous as its possible to<br />
get and still stay out of an<br />
institution.<br />
Whenever you ask a teacher<br />
<strong>the</strong> aims and objectives<br />
of <strong>the</strong> academic program in<br />
our schools, <strong>the</strong> majority<br />
splutter for a while and <strong>the</strong>n<br />
waltz around <strong>the</strong> subject with<br />
a few vague platitudes <strong>the</strong>y<br />
picked up in some magazine.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> risk of treading into<br />
<strong>the</strong> sacred inner circle, I<br />
would like to offer my yardstick.<br />
The purpose of giving<br />
a child an education is to fit<br />
him for a place in society<br />
where he can cope with his<br />
own routine problems and in<br />
some small way contribute to<br />
<strong>the</strong> advancement of our society.<br />
In my view a sound knowledge<br />
of <strong>the</strong> basic moral principles<br />
of Christianity are an<br />
absolute necessity in any such<br />
program.<br />
The ra<strong>the</strong>r pa<strong>the</strong>tic remark<br />
by one limp mind that <strong>the</strong><br />
'a<strong>the</strong>ist Chinese never went<br />
to war in 500 years' only<br />
heightens <strong>the</strong> pa<strong>the</strong>tic state<br />
of affairs. The rise of secularism<br />
and its apparent increase<br />
could be <strong>the</strong> cause of<br />
our sad state.<br />
The majority of <strong>the</strong> Christian<br />
world is moving towards<br />
unity in basic <strong>the</strong>ology and it<br />
is entirely possible that if<br />
an effort were made by men<br />
of good faith and not <strong>the</strong> 'panty-waists'<br />
<strong>the</strong>n a basic program<br />
could be evolved. The<br />
bla<strong>the</strong>r about religious freedom<br />
is so much bunkum. The<br />
Royal Air Force, no mean instrument<br />
in <strong>the</strong> fight for freedom,<br />
insisted on church parades<br />
and some of <strong>the</strong> boys<br />
got a good deal out of it. I<br />
enjoyed it and so did many<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs who do not belong to<br />
<strong>the</strong> religious maniac class.<br />
There is such a thing as too<br />
much freedom.<br />
This situation is entirely<br />
<strong>the</strong> fault of <strong>the</strong> teachers and<br />
no one else. They claim to<br />
be a profession and are forever<br />
harping on <strong>the</strong>ir status.<br />
You may remember <strong>the</strong>ir position<br />
in society was hashed<br />
out in great detail at <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
last wage negotiation, when<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir business agent and a<br />
group of <strong>the</strong> shop stewards<br />
laid it on <strong>the</strong> line.<br />
If <strong>the</strong>y want to hang onto<br />
this title <strong>the</strong>y must accept<br />
responsibility for <strong>the</strong> poor<br />
state of affairs in religious<br />
education. They are <strong>the</strong> largest<br />
pressure group in <strong>the</strong><br />
province in this field and <strong>the</strong>y<br />
can get action if <strong>the</strong>y want it,<br />
make no mistake about that.<br />
They don't want to do anything<br />
about it because <strong>the</strong>y<br />
are infused with defeatism<br />
and pessimism. If <strong>the</strong>y can't<br />
get <strong>the</strong> job done <strong>the</strong>n its up<br />
to o<strong>the</strong>r groups to see that<br />
<strong>the</strong> government hears about<br />
it in no uncertain terms.<br />
The foundations of western<br />
society were laid on Christian<br />
principles and if <strong>the</strong>se foundations<br />
are eroding and crumbling<br />
we know where <strong>the</strong> trouble<br />
lies. No amount of lecturing<br />
on biology, physics, geography<br />
or history can repair <strong>the</strong>se<br />
foundations. Only a firm understanding<br />
of our basic religious<br />
tenets can.<br />
The position of <strong>the</strong> BCTF<br />
Is best summarized by that<br />
old agnostic George Bernard<br />
Shaw who said In <strong>the</strong> 'Doctors<br />
Dilemma' that 'all professions<br />
are a conspiracy against<br />
<strong>the</strong> laity'. I think we<br />
need a counter conspiracy to<br />
set <strong>the</strong>m straight.

against nationalization merely<br />
because it means monopoly.<br />
Most of us here today are<br />
opposed, I would imagine, to<br />
nationalization. Many believe<br />
that free enterprise is best.<br />
In that belief I share, but only<br />
in so far as enterprise is free.<br />
We can and we should oppose<br />
<strong>the</strong> nationalization of fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
industries, but <strong>the</strong> effectiveness<br />
of our opposition must<br />
depend upon our own house being<br />
in order.<br />
We must never offer private<br />
monopoly as an alternative<br />
to public monopoly. We<br />
cannot defend <strong>the</strong> virtues of<br />
a competition which we have<br />
quietly abolished by trade agreements<br />
or merger.<br />
Against <strong>the</strong> threat of nationalization<br />
<strong>the</strong> giant monopolistic<br />

you are already part of a bureaucracy.*<br />

Dear Sir:- In <strong>the</strong> Vancouver<br />
Sun, Page 12, April 4th,<br />
is a report on TV rebroadcasting<br />
station applications,<br />
no-., before <strong>the</strong> BBG,<br />
The one that caught my<br />
eye and raised my temper<br />
and temperature was, quote<br />
*CKPG-TV Ltd. is applying<br />
to establish new TV rebroadcasting<br />
stations at <strong>Quesnel</strong>,<br />
Fort Fraser and Hixon which<br />
would carry <strong>the</strong> programs of<br />
CKPG-TV, Prince George.*<br />
I believe I am speaking<br />
for a large percentage of<br />
<strong>Quesnel</strong>'s TV viewers when<br />
I say we do not want CKPG-<br />
TV - canned or o<strong>the</strong>rwise.<br />
We, in our house, are very<br />
happy to have CFCR-TV with<br />
hockey games and o<strong>the</strong>r events<br />
when <strong>the</strong>y happen, not a week<br />
or two weeks later.<br />
Personal friends of ours<br />
in Prince George tell us <strong>the</strong>y<br />
don't turn on <strong>the</strong>ir TV more<br />
than once a month. I would<br />
not call that much of a recommendation.<br />
I understand CFCR-TV have<br />
had an application for increased<br />
power before <strong>the</strong> BBG<br />
for months now, with no de<br />
cision so far. Is <strong>the</strong>re something<br />
behind <strong>the</strong> scenes to<br />
cause this long delay?<br />
I think it is time we backed<br />
up CFCR TV by writing<br />
<strong>the</strong> BBG to voice our preference.<br />
They (BBG) are 4000<br />
miles away and how can <strong>the</strong>y<br />
know what is best for us unless<br />
we tell <strong>the</strong>m. We are<br />
writing today. I hope o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
will take <strong>the</strong> time to do <strong>the</strong><br />
same.<br />

Dear Sir:- I was shocked to<br />
read that <strong>the</strong> Teachers' Federation<br />
passed unanimously<br />
a resolution to abolish <strong>the</strong><br />

from <strong>the</strong> school curriculum.<br />
They claim <strong>the</strong> children are<br />
not deriving anything from<br />
<strong>the</strong>se few moments of devotion.<br />
If <strong>the</strong>y are not getting<br />
anything - <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>y are not<br />
being given anything. Could it<br />
be <strong>the</strong> fault of <strong>the</strong> teachers<br />
not knowing <strong>the</strong>ir subject?<br />
Dare <strong>the</strong>y make this statement<br />
of o<strong>the</strong>r subjects?<br />
The teachers also claim<br />
it is up to <strong>the</strong> parents and<br />
ministers to teach <strong>the</strong> child-<br />

ren - this is true up to a<br />
point. However, it really isn't<br />
a case of teaching in school -<br />
it happens to be a few moments<br />
of devotion togetlier.<br />
A Christian believes <strong>the</strong><br />
Bible to be a way of life -<br />
<strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong>re should be no<br />
separation between <strong>the</strong> Bible<br />
and any phase of our lives,<br />
be it home, school, business<br />
or even politics.<br />
We rant and rave about our<br />
juvenile delinquency, increase<br />
in crime, broken homes and<br />
all <strong>the</strong> curses of today - at<br />
<strong>the</strong> same time denying and<br />
casting aside <strong>the</strong> very Book<br />
that gives us our morals and<br />
standards by which to live;<br />
If ;<br />
rJ's <strong>the</strong> time<br />
thus creating a confused and<br />
meaningless life.<br />
With parents, teachers and<br />
even ministers arguing and<br />
denying <strong>the</strong> Truth of <strong>the</strong> Bible<br />
- isn't it any wonder our<br />
younger generation, not to<br />
mention <strong>the</strong> adults, do not know<br />
which way to turn or what<br />
to believe. Could this be "The<br />
blind leading <strong>the</strong> blind?"<br />
We could very well be now<br />
reaping <strong>the</strong> results of our<br />
neglect of <strong>the</strong> Bible's teachings.<br />
Maybe we should all stop<br />
and take a serious, soulsearching<br />
look at our way of<br />
life and quit passing <strong>the</strong> buck.<br />
Those who do not wish to<br />
participate in prayer or bible<br />
readings, for reasons of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
own, do not have to - no one<br />
is forcing <strong>the</strong>m to or taking<br />
away <strong>the</strong>ir freedom.<br />
Therefore, let us who dare<br />
to be Christian stand up for<br />
what we claim to be, before<br />
we have nothing left.<br />

THURSDAY. APRIL 9. 1964 THE CARIBOO OBSERVER Sec. 4<br />
Of Potters Clay<br />
By VICTOR FIDDES<br />
It Is gratifying to learn that<br />
<strong>the</strong> "on agaln-off again" union<br />
discussions between Anglican<br />
and United Church leaders<br />
may soon be on again.<br />
An Anglican spokesman has<br />
said that <strong>the</strong> year 1964 will<br />
see something definite in <strong>the</strong><br />
way of a proposal.<br />
The general feeling seems<br />
to be that if union or reunion<br />
is ever to be achieved, it will<br />
only be by <strong>the</strong> adoption, among<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r things, of episcopal orders<br />
on <strong>the</strong> part of <strong>the</strong> United<br />
Church of Canada. If this is<br />
simply a matter of church<br />
order, so be it I Let us have,<br />
bishops. Let us even have a<br />
bishop over <strong>the</strong> bishops. Our<br />
traditions need not stand in<br />
<strong>the</strong> way of this. Calvin was<br />
prepared to accept bishops,<br />
affirming that this kind of<br />
government came about "by<br />
human agreement through <strong>the</strong><br />
necessity of <strong>the</strong> times". John<br />
Wesley for his part had nothing<br />
against bishops on <strong>the</strong><br />
score Qf government; some<br />
of <strong>the</strong> most efficient bishops<br />
in <strong>the</strong> world today are found<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Methodist Church, U.<br />
S.A.<br />
But if we are to have episcopal<br />
government let us have<br />
a clear understanding of what<br />
is not involved. While a case<br />
can be made for episcopacy<br />
for <strong>the</strong> ordering of church<br />
life, some of us feel very<br />
strongly that no case can be<br />
made for it in <strong>the</strong> attempt<br />
to make an existing ministry<br />
valid or regular. Even <strong>the</strong><br />
phrase "mutually accept-<br />

able" seems to beg <strong>the</strong> question.<br />
To whom is <strong>the</strong> ministry<br />
to be acceptable? What<br />
P.T. Forsyth said a century<br />
ago still holds: "Only that<br />
gospel validates <strong>the</strong> ministry<br />
which created it." Certainly<br />
bishops and archbishops and<br />
cardinals and popes had nothing<br />
to do with cieating <strong>the</strong><br />
Gospel. The ministry, like<br />
<strong>the</strong> laity, remains valid or<br />
regular according as it is<br />
effective for <strong>the</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>rance<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Gospel.<br />
The Holy Spirit is not tied<br />
to eccesiastical orders<br />
though he may certainly<br />
choose to use <strong>the</strong>m. The same<br />
Holy Spirit that may be leading<br />
our church to <strong>the</strong> acceptance<br />
of an episcopal form of<br />
government apparently is<br />
leading some churches away<br />
from it. There is a vigorous<br />
and growing "third force" of<br />
Christianity today that apparently<br />
wants to have nothing to<br />
do with so-called traditional<br />
church orders. The work and<br />
witness of Pentecostal and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r groups in Latin America<br />
and elsewhere seem to suggest<br />
that <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit is<br />
not confining his work and witness<br />
to fixed ecclesiastical<br />
moulds. The United Church<br />
of Canada in pursuing its mission<br />
"that all may be one"<br />
ought not to accept any concept<br />
of <strong>the</strong> ministry that separates<br />
it from this third force.<br />

CPA To Restore Milk Run<br />
Canadian Pacific Airlines<br />
will restore <strong>the</strong> old "milk<br />
run" from Vancouver to<br />
Prince George when <strong>the</strong> spring<br />
and summer schedule goes<br />
into effect on April 26. At<br />
<strong>the</strong> same time Convairs will<br />
be placed back on <strong>the</strong> run.<br />
The move should result in<br />
improved service for Kamloops,<br />
Williams Lake and<br />
<strong>Quesnel</strong> since <strong>the</strong> daily flight<br />
will terminate at Prince<br />
George and passenger volume<br />
can be adequately handled on<br />
<strong>the</strong> smaller aircraft.<br />
When <strong>the</strong> new schedule goes<br />
into effect <strong>the</strong> daily southbound<br />
flight will leave <strong>Quesnel</strong><br />
at 9;40 a.m., arriving<br />
in Vancouver at 12:30 p.m.<br />
after touch downs at Williams<br />
Lake and Kamloops.<br />
Northbound <strong>the</strong> plane will<br />
leave Vancouver at 5 p.m.,<br />
arriving in <strong>Quesnel</strong> at 7:50<br />
p.m.<br />
Burt O'Handley, local CPA<br />
agent, points out that <strong>the</strong> earlier<br />
southbound departure will<br />
provide better connections for<br />
east and southbound passengers<br />
out of Vancouver.<br />
He adds that <strong>the</strong> flight will<br />
again be completely local serving<br />
only Kamloops, Cariboo<br />
points and Prince 'George.<br />

Golden Text for Sunday Service<br />
"The kingdom of heaven is<br />
at hand. Heal <strong>the</strong> sick, cleanse<br />
<strong>the</strong> lepers, raise <strong>the</strong> dead,<br />
cast out devils; freely ye have<br />
received, freely give." These<br />
words from Mat<strong>the</strong>w (ch. 10)<br />
will be used as <strong>the</strong> Golden<br />
Text at Christian Science<br />
church services next Sunday.<br />
The question, "Are Sin,<br />
Disease, and Death Real?"<br />
will be explored in passages<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Bible and <strong>the</strong> Christian<br />
Science textbook, including<br />
this statement: "God is<br />
not <strong>the</strong> author of mortal discords.<br />
Therefore we accept<br />
<strong>the</strong> conclusion that discords<br />
have only a fabulous existence,<br />
are mortal beliefs which divine<br />
Truth and Love destroy"<br />

Baker Eddy, p. 231.).<br />

Nazko Valley Report<br />
By CHRIS SHANE<br />
NAZKO VALLEY - Our St.<br />
Patrick's party was a tremendous<br />
success. The attendance<br />
was over 80 with most<br />
of <strong>the</strong> ranchers in <strong>the</strong> valley<br />
present along with many of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Indian folk from Kluskus,<br />
Trout Lake and here.<br />
The evening began with a<br />
brisk bingo game and after<br />
five hadbeen played Bill Leake<br />
auctioned off a few B.B.Q.<br />
chickens. Raymond Piltz, son<br />
of Mr. and Mrs. Eddy Piltz<br />
was <strong>the</strong> happy winner of <strong>the</strong><br />
door prize and took home a<br />
brim-filled basket of Easter<br />
eggs and rabbits.<br />
Dancing was <strong>the</strong>n enjoyed<br />
until 5 a.m. and we made a<br />
profit of $50 for <strong>the</strong> evening,<br />
thanks to <strong>the</strong> support of everyone<br />
attending.<br />

Jerry Boyd of Kluskus passed<br />
away in Vancouver after a<br />
lengthy illness. He was in his<br />
eightieth year and is survived<br />
by his grandsons, Lloyd Boyd<br />
of Trout Lake and Morris<br />
Boyd of Nazko. Fa<strong>the</strong>r Brown<br />
offered Mass in <strong>the</strong> Nazko<br />
Church followed by burial in<br />
<strong>the</strong> Nazko graveyard.<br />
* * *<br />
The school now has an excellent<br />
second hand piano. As<br />
funds in <strong>the</strong> Nazko Indian Recreation<br />
Association were quite<br />
low, <strong>the</strong> pupils offered to ask<br />
people In <strong>Quesnel</strong> to help <strong>the</strong>m<br />
buy a piano. The total amount<br />
has not yet been received<br />
but we hope <strong>the</strong> next few<br />
weeks will see <strong>the</strong> realization<br />
of our hopes.<br />
With this piano remaining<br />
In <strong>the</strong> school I will give free<br />
piano lessons, ei<strong>the</strong>r by note<br />
or by ear, to those in <strong>the</strong><br />
valley wishing to learn to<br />
play.<br />

Job Opportunity for<br />
UBC Graduates Good<br />
Employment opportunities<br />
for <strong>the</strong> University of British<br />
Columbia's 1964 graduating<br />
class have seldom been<br />
better, according to UBC placement<br />
officers.<br />
Nearly every graduate<br />
seeking employment has already<br />
been placed, A, F.<br />
Shlrran, director of UBC's<br />
student services division,<br />
said.<br />
About 90 per cent of <strong>the</strong><br />
graduating class In engineering<br />
and 75 to 80 per cent of<br />
commerce graduates already<br />
have jobs.<br />
More than 200 business<br />
firms from all over Canada<br />
and representatives of 45 B.C,<br />
school boards have been interviewing<br />
graduating students on<br />
<strong>the</strong> campus since last November.<br />
Summer employment for<br />
undergraduate students Is a<br />
continuing problem, Shlrran<br />
said, but <strong>the</strong> situation Is improved<br />
over 1963.<br />
"We now have 2500 applications<br />
on file from undergraduates<br />
and we are eager<br />
to hear from firms anywhere<br />
in B.C. which may have jobs<br />
to offer beginning next<br />
month," he said.<br />
Letters have been written<br />
to more than 600 B.C. firms<br />
in recent months asking <strong>the</strong>m<br />
to list <strong>the</strong>ir job requirements,<br />
Shlrran said.<br />
He added that engineering<br />
and forestry undergraduates<br />
have no difficulty In finding<br />
summer employment because<br />
<strong>the</strong>y possess special skills.<br />
Scalers Exams Held On<br />
Two Mile Flat Friday<br />
Close to 50 scaling students<br />
met on Two Mile Flat Friday<br />
for a practical examination<br />
conducted by <strong>the</strong> B.C. Forest<br />
Service. The exam was under<br />
<strong>the</strong> direction of Joe Rogacz<br />
and Ken Morley, Inspectors<br />
of Licenced Scalers, from<br />
Prince George.<br />
The students have attended<br />
nine weeks of <strong>the</strong>oretical and<br />
three weeks of practical training<br />
conducted by Denis St.<br />
Amand under <strong>the</strong> <strong>Quesnel</strong><br />
Adult Education Program. The<br />
classes covered all phases of<br />
interior scaling practice,<br />
formulas for both board and<br />
cubic measure, deduction formulas<br />
and identification of<br />
species.<br />
Final examination comprises<br />
scaling 50 logs, 25 by<br />
<strong>the</strong> cubic system and 25 by<br />
<strong>the</strong> board foot technique. In<br />
addition to <strong>the</strong> practical test,<br />
all students are required to<br />
write a four hour <strong>the</strong>ory exam.<br />
To ensure accuracy in <strong>the</strong><br />
practical scaling test all <strong>the</strong><br />
logs used were independently<br />
examined by two Forest Service<br />
inspectors and students<br />
are required to have <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
estimates within a percentage<br />
tolerance of this scale.<br />
Mr. Denis St. Amand said he<br />
was delighted with <strong>the</strong> keen interest<br />
shown by <strong>the</strong> pupils who<br />
have travelled from as far as<br />
Horsefly and Prince George<br />
to take <strong>the</strong> test. Inspector of<br />
Scalers, Joe Rogacz, said he<br />
felt <strong>the</strong>re will continue to be<br />
a demand for qualified<br />
scalers, particularly in <strong>the</strong><br />
Prince George area.<br />
