‘Send Support for CBC-TV Proposal to BBG

A> suggestion made last week at
the joint meeting of the Castlegar and
Kinnaird councils is worthy of serious
consideration by every individual and
organization in this area interested in
better TV reception:

The suggestion was that such inter-
ested persons write the Board of Broad-
cast Governors at Ottawa indicating their
support of the prosposal by the CBC for
a re-broadcasting transmitter for the
Castlegar area to pick up the TV signal
from the Rossland-Trail transmitter for

re-broadcasting to the Castlegar, Kin-

naird and Robson area.-

Unless such persons and groups F 3

make known to the BBG their favoring of
such a proposed move by CBC-TV, we
could, lose out on such a transmitter by
default. That is; if one or more ites

Choice of this Aréa for College is Logical

», Dr. John B. Macdonald’s recommen-
dation. of a regional college situated in
the Castlegar-Kinnaird area to serve the
West Kootenays was welcome news. Such
a proposal displays Dr. Macdonald’s com-
mon-sensé approach to the problems of
higher education in this province. The
Castlegar-Kinnaird area is strategically
located to serve the widest possible area
and so this is the logical place for such
a college if one is to be built.

However, even the most enthusiastic
supporter of Dr. Id’s proposal

could be utilized for the site, but the
fact that such land would probably be
available ‘‘free’? may be overridden by
yet more important (more important from
an educational point of view) considera-
tions not yet recognized at this stage of
the proposal.

While this newspaper firmly believes
in the separation of church and state, we
are not quite as concerned, as apparently
Dr. Macdonald is, about the separation of
public higher education and religiously-

ed institutions of. higher educa-

must be .amazed at the University of
British Columbia president's proposed
time-schedule. It calls for capital ex-
penditures in 1963-64 of $450,000, the
same amount in 1964-65 and $800,000
between 1965 and 1971. The regional
share of these capital construction costs
would be one-third of these figures with
the sharing basis for this t to be

tion. In fact, we wonder whether
even the taxpayers are concerned
when it comes down to their pocket-
books and whether the government

‘is when it comes down to the expenditure

of taxpayers’ monies for capital projects.
Notre Dame University College at Nel-
son has setter: than $1. million already

the same as that for operating costs, that
is a. sliding mill rate which would see
those school districts closest to the col-
lege paying more than those further
away.

In addition, it should be noted that
Dr. Macdonald has based his estimates on
construction costs only without incl

‘the people of the Trail-Castlegar-Nelson
region to duplicate these facilities in this

costs of land and of providing necessary
services, suggesting that the community
concerned would make both of these
available without charge. Thus the tax-
payers of this immediate area would pre-
sumably be asked to make a yet even
greater contribution than those in other
areas which the college would also serve.

Before, this session started,
the, Premier said this would be the
most wonderful, the most gener-
ous, the’ most magnanimous bud-
get in all our history, containing
what he called goodies for every:

even unto you and me,

Well, there'll be $50 a year
more for the homeowner, and the
civil servants will. get boosts in
pay.

This “gimme more” is a di-
sease that rapidly spreads, and
now the ’s \themselves have
reaught it; They want their share
of the “goodies” of the Bennett
largesse with the ‘taxpayers’ mo-
ney, MLA’s now receive $5,000 a
year. They'd: like’ the Premier to
make it $7,500.

Y’m not against this, if only
we had fewer 'MLA’s. I don't
think British Columbia needs: 52.
But there'll never be less; I have
an idea the Premier is toying with
the idea of increasing House mem-
bership, hoping by so doing to
maintain his Social Crédit  majo-
rity. Oppositionists, too, would like
more seats, because that. might
enable them to get more mem-
bers into the House.

When our Mr. Benrrett hears
MLA's pleading for money for
themselves he smiles broadly, en-
couragingly and says: “The Pre-

1d| mier will speak to'the Minister of

Finance about: it.”

NDP. Frank Calder at Atlin
says.everyone in the House needs
more money but. the Premier.
The Premier pretended not. to
hear this. Poor Mr. Calder—he
says that if his banker was. not
a kindly man he'd have been fore-
ed to paddle his Indian dugout
all the way.down the coast from
his home way up north.;

Mr. Calder, z 50: for-
thrightly about how the ‘ people
starve their MLA’s, won Ioud ap-
Pplause from them. He. expresses
their sentiments exactly, yes, Mr.
Speaker, exactly, and. they are
glad he does, for MLA’s, knowing

their educational. futures; (4). those who
by preference or for financial reasons
wish to remain in their own locality.”
Through Notre Dame's recent affili-
ation with St. Francis Xavier University
at Antigonish; Nova Scotia, the college
will soon be granting degrees and it is
possible that after two years at a reg-

‘ional. college here, many students would

continue on to Notre Dame to obtain
their degrees. However, this could place
Notre Dame in the, position of having
very few students registered in its first
two years but with fairly substantial

glow...
Before the acrid smoke of Death is tasted.

And the noble purpose of creation;

numbers regi d in its final two years.

Another aspect which must be given
consideration is that if grade 13 is done
away, with in Nelson and other high
schools in this region, Nelson students
who ‘shied away from Notre Dame. in
favor of grade 13 in tlie high school in|?
‘that city. because of Notre Dame's’ fees,
might well find that fees at the regional
college here, along with transportation

costs, might well make’ registration. atj5p

Notre Dame more preferable to registra-
tion at the publicly-supported regional
college situated here. This will influence
the views: of Nelson taxpayers towards a
college here. y

These are all questions which are
suggested in this space not to take the
bloom: off the rose, but rather to put into
proper perspective the questions which
must of necessity come up for discussion
and which will have to be resolved be-
fore actual construction starts on the reg-
ional college here.
