CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, May 28, 1964 CASTLEGAR NEWS in, unawed by by gain” “Sere let the press the people's rights Established in Nineteen Hundred and Hor anee - David Thompson College — We Like Idea Some weeks .ago—before’ the ' six school boards concerned with the estab- lishment of a West Kootenay Regional Col- lege had signed a legal document calling for the establishment of the proposed col- lege in the Castlegar school district—the Lillian Killough Chapter of the IODE sug- gested the name David Thompson College for the proposed institution. The IODE, in suggesting this name to Education Minister Leslie Peterson, not- éd that the government has already nam- ed the new Burnaby university the Simon Fraser University after Sir Simon Fraser, while David Thompson i ‘is one of this coun- ty’s greatest pioneers and is the man who explored the river that now bears his name from its source to its mouth. . One of the possible sites set aside .for the proposed college is on the. banks of ithe: Columbia river in the vicinity of the airport. In fact it is that point of land which ‘extends out into the Columbia at the confluence of the, Columbia and Koo- tenay rivers. If. this site ig eventually chosen ‘as the place at which, the new college is to be built (and perhaps even if it isn’t the site ‘chosen) the proposal to name the col- lege after David Thompson is a good one and deserves. serious consideration, Undoubtedly it will be up to the West Kootenay Regional College Council to de- cide what name the, college should bear. And there is.no doubt that a good case can be made for giving it the name ‘it is now referred to by and thereby give pub- licity to the whole Kootenay region which is to support: it. Nonetheless, let’s hope that the name David: Thompson College gets full consideration. We could do worse; it’s hard to see how we could do better. A Sad Affair: Albernis Financial Sit uation : Within a matter of hours after Alas- “ka had béen hit by the Good Friday earth- . quake disaster Prime Minister Pearson + sent a telegram to President Johnson ex ‘ pressing Canada’s sympathy and concern, .” the 1 which read in part: “I know. that I speak for all Canadians when I assure you that .We stand ready to do whatever we can to assist | the people of Alaska at this tragic time. ‘Abaast simultaneously the prime min- ‘ister instructed Northern Affairs Minister Laing to inform the British Columbia government that the federal government was ready to provide aid for the tidal-flood Victims of the Albernis, : In an t from V the following day, Mr. Laing Ned that federal funds were available for such as- ; Sistance and that the tidal waves might be termed a national disaster in some areas of the province.

On the following Monday Mr. Pear- for their, apparent ‘reluctance to- commit th Ives to a definite policy of £ ial aid for the tidal-wave victims, the pro- vincial government finally announced that d estimate ited to some $1,500,000 and that it had requested Ot- tawa to share the cost:on a 50-50 basis. ° Mr. Laing’s Feaction fo this was ex: t y. He ded that the B.C. government admit that it could- n't afford to pay any more than half the bill. : Not only does’ this smack of rival po- litics at work but completely negates the view so frequently put forward by Ottawa that Dominion-provincial ‘relationships are better now than they have ever been. Nor, because. of thé dilatory attitude it has taken in the whole sorry affair, can the provincial government be held blame- less.

I came across a 16- year-old the other day who re- cited to me the names of.every President, from Washington to Johnson, and yet ‘he hadn't any idea of how many Prime Mi ters of Canada there have been, 1 asked him why this was a) with him, and he said the Presidents were mostly men of get-up-and-go, while the Prime . Ministers, as near as he could ; figure, were mostly fence-sit- ters. He said they were not as exciting as the, presidents. “ He even knew that one presi- dent, James Buchanan, was a lifelong bachelor, and that ano- ther, Thomas Jeiferson, was a widower throughout his years in the White.

Mr. Laing, following the. prime min- ister, reported on the federal govern: ment’s action regarding the Alberni area situation. However, unlike the original statement he made in Vancouver, Mr. La- ing added a qualification. The federal ‘government, he said, was ready to give any assistance beyond the capacities of the province or any of the stricken mun- icipalities to provide.
