Qne_ man’s opinion

By FRED MERRIMAN

“It | Hear One More Song About California, t will (indeed) Cry All The Way
to Tennessee.”

For several weeks, we who work in Trail, to the background sounds of

.Trail’s answer to Musac have been subjected to an eight-track tape that keeps
going round and round. Or is it back and forth? :

Why do we listen? Because like Hillary's Everest it is there. When, Mr.

., Clark, (Barry to his friends,) are you or the owners of the greatest opportunity
* for public service and entertainment ever going to smarten up?

alike for only two reasons. One, they are so hungry for real live people they

read even garbage like this and also they never know when | might slip in on
item that might particularly interest them.

They may even get their name in the papers.

Where does this leave you? All your music is prerecofded in a souni
studio in California where they keep all the gold.

Most people can't even spell fieldhouse and, for the life of me, | wouldn't

for hours as the participants revel in the sounds of their own voices. However,
radio should also teach and inform us about matters of the day.

premarital sex, f

Instead, we heor John Denver going home 10,000 times.

Or how about music: You should mix it up, Barry. How about half an hour
of classical music every afternoon when some of your high-class sponsors may
want to advertise stereos? How about a block of Hawaiian music when the
wind is blowing and we could all wish we were somewhere else. | like country
and western, classical, rock and roll and even the ‘Last Cheater'’s Waltz’
because of that old-time waltz beat, so you will find myself and most of the
listeners fairly easy to please.

We do resent your taking of our desp ion for information
and entertainment by subjecting us to the sounds of Trail Radio which has only
the news by Dale Drown and Trader Phone by the people of Trail as the
highlights of the day.

No wonder people are TV fans when TV shows real pictures of thousands
of Cambodian men, women and small children being blown apart by “friendly”
artillery fire.

Horrible things are heppening in this world — even in this quiet backcoun-
try, and also great victories have been won. If we are ignorant, then accept
that responsibility. :

If we are uninformed, then we can give the discredit to radio stations like
yours.

Friday incident

An incident between a
bus carrying hockey players
and a vehicle occupied by a
driver anda passenger, which
occurred late Friday near
Grand Forks, is still under
investigation, according to
RCMP.

A vehicle reportedly
raced alongside a bus carry-
ing Nelson hockey players
home from an evening game,
forcing it off the road. The
occupants of the car report-
edly threw beer bottles as
well as pointing a gun at the
bus and hockey players.

* The RCMP spokesman
told the Castlegar News the
two youths in the vehicle

were apprehended within 10 .

minutes after talking to the

‘not a hockey-

oriented’ incident,” said the

In Area B, east of Creston, a proposed fire p: if
bylaw for the Lister and Canyon areas won approval with 178
votes for and 46 opposed. 5

In Area H, the rural Slocan Valley, a proposed grant in
aid of establishing a library system was defeated 167 to 133.
Voters in a similar referendum conducted in the Village of

library system.

but not necessarily at the
bus. He also verified there
was a firearm in the vehicle
occupied by the youths.

group Relations will operate
independently of gov
ment. "It is to examine the
situation in detail and bring
together the various groups
and individuals involved to
attempt to find workable sol-
utions," Gardom said.  *

Gardom, who was in
Cranbrook last week, said
the committee was establish-
ed in July and has held a
number of meetings to set its
terms of reference, but only
now is ready to start its
activities.

Following a meeting .
with committee members,
local ministry officials, police
and representatives of the
Doukhobor people, Gardom
said the main concern in and
around the Doukhobor com.
munity centres on communi-
cations among the citizens.

The attorney-general
said the six representatives
on the committee who all live
in the area have a high
degree of personal experi-
ence, understanding and
commitment. They will not
only study the concerns but
will also assist in bringing
about solutions, he said.

Verigin was recently
cleared of conspiracy to com-
mit arson charges. The main
witnesses for the prasecution
who were from the rival
Freedomite sect alleged Ver-
igin ordered them to set a
number of fires under fear of
a seven-generation curse if
they refused.

committee are Rev. Ted

tre director Ron Cameron,
