Shameful

eause .our former member has
been found guilty of certain de-
Iinquencies about which you
know as much as. me. But it is
Probably equally true — and cer-

tlon today for the simple reason
that the people finally have re.
volted against an attitude of gov-
ernment which has seen this rid-

two years.

You know over these past
years, councils and chambers of
commerce and other groups

Pleaded with the government to
act so that a new member could
be found, And you don't have to
look very far for the reason:
here we have an area which con-
tributes more in taxes per capita
than anywhere else in British
Columbia and yet we have been
in the totally impossible situa-
tion of being without a voice in
Victoria. One has only to view.
the almost total absence of pro-
vinclal capital works projects in
Rossland-Trail, and then take a
drive through the Okanagan, to
know what'I mean. ‘This is the
situation in which we ‘find our.
selves tonight, and when TI tell
you that there is a job to be done
in Victoria we don’t have to
stretch our imagiations very hard
to see perfectly well how it has
not bee done over the past two
years at all, and done only in the
most indifferent fashion during
the previous four.

I think that the attitude of
the government in this matter of
representation for Rosslad-Trail
has been shameful. It is“utterly
incomprehensible to me that the
premier and his cabinet can have
demonstrated such abject disre-
gard for the taxpayer’s rights all
these months, and then have the

‘leffrontery to come into this rid-

ig with the big guns loaded and
the sabres rattling — and ask
you to send another Social Cred-
it member ‘to represent you .in
the legislature, Surely to good-
ess the answer must be quite
clear: “Nothanks, Mr. Bennett.
This is the end. Never, never
again!" ;

All right, you say — qll right,
Brokenshire, tell us what you
would do to improve our'lot in
life if we gave yu this thumping
majority you're asking for. Well,
then, here goes: ©

. First or all, my friends, I
would talk about highways so;
long and so often that even the
reverend minister in charge of
that particular department would
be glad to jump aboard his plane
and wing his way to Kamloops in
order to avoid for a while the
wrath and the anger that he'll
find out Rossland-Trail can. gen-
erate if its good faith is pushed
too far.

I have no hesitation in des.
eribing the government's per
formance in Rossiand-Trail in this

:|matter of highway construction

ROTARY CHARTER NIGHT
SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR

merely local

When I talk of the absence
of highway construction in Ross-|
jJand-Trail, it's Jobs such as the
often-promised, never - fulfilled
Rossland to Sheep Lake Link
that I'm talking about. It’s Jobs
such as the relocation, straigh-
tening and widening of the haz.
ardous Trail to Castlegar road
I've got in mind. It’s the paving
of every secondary road in the
entire constituency I’ve got on
mind — and if you think I'm ask-
ing the impossible, try driving
around all’ the back. lanes and
highways in the Okanagan — do
it sometime, and do it soon —}
you might as well enjoy the com-
fort of hard surfaced orchard
and forest roads around the pre.
mier's country home'— you paid
for it! _

Ta pass on, and to take a
quick look at education and civic
finances. Here I can speak with
a great deal of personal exper-
ence, and nothing will be lost if
I.repeat what I said on the radio
last night: that in the Rossland.
Trail school districts we have the
finest aggregation of dedicated
and efficient teachers to be found
anywhere in this province. Once
again, I will pay tribute to this
learned group into whose hands
we entrust the future of our
children. I have said before that
there are misinformed  pcople|
abroad who persist in speaking

In ecubbing. Mr. Campbell of ‘the
Castlegar News, Mr. H. Merrifield
and Mr, Binnle took pictures of
the event,

Cub master L, Groutage led
the two packs in the game of
“snatch” and judging by the en-
thuslastic yelling by the boys,
the game was thoroughly enjoy-
ed. A very event of

when we contribute so heavily
through our taxes to the cost of

At the same time, it is in.|

do in fact get money’s worth ‘in
this matter ‘of financing educa-

ant to see that this ‘Investment in

that is what js happening in Brit-

far greater share of the cost of

day must be borne by the govern-

payer must be given a large mea-

In villages such as this, of
