Central Rentals — approximately 3,000 square feet ) See Movie CANDIDATES ‘79 News/Mirror Pre-Election Feature For Dale Drown, the stakes in his campai candidate in the May 10 provincial race are doubly nas Rossland-Trail's Tory high, Aside from gambling on the disillusionment of the tiding's voters with New Democratic Party and Social Credit candidates and policies, he has also jeopardized his credibility as a reporter in the event he returns to newscasting, But according to Drown, the gamble “is only mine to worry about.” "I'm possibly talking a political gamble, but they told Scott Wallace (onetime PC leader) that and they also told Vic Stephens (present PC lead- er) that in Oak Bay last year when he picked up that par- ticular seat,” he says. “Some people have said they want a government mem- ber in the riding and the chances of the PCs gaining that geat of power are relatively tninute, I disagree with that. In the latest poll received by the conservatives just before the élection writ was dropped the biggest majority of British Columbians are undecided. They're unhappy with the NDP because they're seared of what took place between 1972 and 1975 and they're not totally impressed with Bill Bennett and the boys.” : “They want as alternative, a moderate, a party which doesn't have defined lines and is willing to change with the Explaining his _ political orientation, he admits to a flirtation with the Socia) Credit Party in his teens. “Possibly you could say that as I grew older I gained more sense and realized that the Socreds weren't entirely the party they say they are,” says Drown. “T’ve been a member of the Progressive Conservatives since last year. That will come as a shock to some of the people Thave had close contact with in the field of labor and some of the political candidates. I did what I don’t think it would be bragging to say was an out-' standing job of trying to be impartial in my reporting. I've garnered their respect, I think, in that end and one loses it immediately upon announcing one’s political affiliation.” But he. says he does not expect the campaign to have much effect dn his future if he is unsuccessful and returns to the news media, “I have had offers from other parts of the province to work,” he says. “I know a number of other political people who are still very active.in the world of the media.” “I think what my entering the campaign is going to do is draw the attention of the elec- torate and the other candidates tosome of the specific problems which are happening here. It allows me to be, much more critical of the other candidates in the other parties. If I had stayed in the media and stayed out of the campaign, quite possibly people would have interpreted me as being poli- tically biased anyway.” Although he expects votes from disillusioned D'Arcy sup- porters, seeking “somebody who is willing to put forward a great deal more effort", he hopes to gain his greatest support from the Social Credit camp. In fact, says Drown, it was the selection of Phil Brooks as the Socred candidate that spurred his deciston to offer the riding a third choice. “Surely they could have come up with a better candi- date than Phil Brooks,” he says, “All Phil Brooks does right now is hand out money. People almost think there's an endless stream coming from Victoria that will continue once he gets elected. I can assure them it won't.” * He lists Social Credit backbenchers Howard Lloyd of Fort George, Jack Kempf of Omineca and George Haddad of Kootenay who won seats in the 1975 race with promises of “sweeteners” from the party “and you've never heard of them since.” , He says he would be “totally naive” to ignore the campaign is a federal cam- paign,” he says. “There's no problems there, but the last thing I need is for the federal candidate to say he doesn't feel it's wise for a provincial Tory candidate to be running.” "It comes back to some. PCs would certalnly have re- moved that third candidate from the ballot sheet. It makes me just a bit more determined to carry on." The main selling point of the PCs, according to Drown, is their ability “to reflect the concerns of the constituents rather than totally along party Unes.” “It’s a small enough party where we can certainly develop those particular feelings along the party line now. If you have a, backbencher in the Socreds he or she is scared to speak out and certainly says very little if anything in the house or caucus, The PCs are willing to listen to the people to a much greater people trying to intimidate me degree. They have to.” All Phil Bro " ‘now Is hand out oks does right money. People almost think there's an endless stream coming from Victoria that. will continue once he gets elec- ied, i can assure them it won't.

But it’s more of a loss for Clark and a gain for the PCs in the province simply because it’s now been revealed for the first time publicly that there's been a deal worked ont and all the time (federal party'* members) have worked closely with the Socreds.” He says he expects to see some federal PC candidates before May 10 saying they and prog} in the Okana- gan; worked in commercial radio and television In Prince G upon us,” Drown says. “More responsive government and al- “so responsible governmont.” More on Page C8 available, Commercial rental space building to be constructed * downtown Castlegar.

Dear Ann: Since you are of the Jewish faith, perhaps you can hing. The Old di explain “an eye for ‘an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." Isn't this a senseless method of getting even? If everyone practiced it, eventually we would have a world of blind and toothless people. ‘ Can you explain why the wise men of those times advocated such harsh as with the New admonition to “turn the other cheek?” — Want To Know More Dear Want: “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth” does not mean “do to him what he did to you.” It means.the punishment must never be more severe than the crime. ‘This admonition was given to the people at a time when cruel and inhuman punishment was inflicted on many who were guilty of, minor offenses — for example, ifa man stole a loaf of bread, he was sometimes: put to death. So you see, the “eye for an eye” precept: was actually compassionate rather than punitive. $ eae Dear Ann Landers: My cousin, who is a ‘widow, lives a half block from me. We were never very close but we belong to the same card club, and my husband and I take her to church almost every Sunday. The minister has been visiting my cousin three times a week since the funeral (last week it was four times). At first I thought it was very thoughtful of him, but it’s been nearly 18 months now. and my cousin has had plenty of time to learn how to handle her grief alone. (Also her marriage wasn't that terrific.) There is quite a lot of gossip about the minigter’s car,being parked out in front of her house so often and the talk isn't doing the church any good. Should I speak to my cousin, to the minister, or to his wife? Several of us feel if the minister's wife were aware of what's going on he would behave differently, — Not Blind And Not Dumb Either Dear N.B.: If the minister has been visiting this woman three times a week for 18 months his wife probably knows about it and is handling the matter in the way that suits her best.

The undersands that in one five- mile stretch of the Kettle Valley line in the Myra Canyon area, there are 14 trestles, as well, as tunnels and. steel « beldges. To have these facilities available in such a small arca “would be unbelievable” for movie producers who are accus- tomed to travelling great dis- tances between such locations, “You have the makings of a heritage park that would be second-to-none on this conti- nent,” he remarked, “It could ministries ‘will be asked to complete:a feasibility study — to determine the value. of the . 80-mile section of the Kettle Valley line between Midway. and Myra Canyon for tourism, Heritage Park and film-making purposes:— before the CPR proceeds to pull up the track. The motion followed lively discussion of an item on the KBVA's agenda ‘titled “The Kettle Valley Railroad; can it become a heritage-tourism at-. traction?” Bernie ,Adkins, co-ordina- tor of ‘special services for Tourism B.C. and editor of. Beautiful British Columbia ma- gazinc, told the meeting that this province “has the biggest collection of steam trains in North America", but. such trains cannot be operated on main railroad lines, so no place to put them.” He said it could be possible to turn the Midway to Myra Canyon section of the Kettle Valley line into a railroad heritage park, which would not only be a tourist attraction, but also could be used for locations for the film industry. His office has four or five Tequests pending from “big name” U.S, film-makers for movie locations, some of which would involve steam trains, said. Adkins. (He has, in fact, already recommended Grand Forks and Greenwood to be considered by one producer planning a movie set in the 1910-20 era.)

The theme could be ex-’ panded, for example, to include stagecoach runs over the moun- tain between Greenwood and are 3 e For the information of those present, zone forester Dave 'Parminter outlined the Forest Service's need for por- tions of the Kettle Valley line to provide access to timberlands, to fit in with long range re- source planning of the area.
