A PERSONAL COLUMN

On the Bond Burning Party at Kelownal’

By BURT CAMPBELL
Kelowna was a packed but
ively city Jast Saturday when
?remicr Bennett arrived in town
vith the two-fold purpose of bur-
iing the net debt of the provinee
ind celebrating the 7th anniver-
“ary of his Social Credit govern:
nent in B.C. :
i Bands played in the streets
choughout the day and most of
“ihe stores held special sales in
zelebration of the ending of the
public debt of B.C. One car deal-
‘ar offered to pay the provincial
sales tax on all cars bought from
him on Saturday.
The Royal Anne Hotel's mar-
quce read “Many Happy Re-

ing “Happy Birthday.” Scores
of men wore hat bands pro-
claiming “Debt Free B.C.” in
fluorescent lettering.

{fes called the members of the

Those who attended the dinner
from outside the Premier's rid-
ing sat with their own MLAs.

Members of the Social. Cre-

dit’ party who attended the
velobration from this” riding
sat with Rossland-Trait MLA
Don Brothers and his lovely
and radiant wife.

A four-tier 600-pound birth:
day cake complete with green
and white icing and seven large
candles stood in the middle of
the banquet room. This cake was
later cut up into small pieces,
put in white and gold boxes, and
distributed along the evening par-
ade route.

After the main course at the
luncheon the master of ceremon-

cabinet to the head table. He then
presented them with toy instru.
ments to play while singing Hap-
py Birthday.

Although the big
was organized by the Social Cre-
dit party to celebrate the paying
off of the public debt of B.C., the
emphasis throughout the day was
on the celebration of Soctal Cre-
dit's seven years as the govern-
ment of this province.

And what a celebration it
. vas. It'starled at 10 in the mor-
ning with four bands and the
Vernon majorettes parading down
Kelowna’s main street, At noon
the Premier and his cabinet went
to Jubilee Bowl where they were
officially welcomed to the city
by Mayor Dick Parkinson,

. After the offictal welcome, a
luncheon was held at the Aquat-
ie building. Over 600 persons sat
down to the cold-plate banquet.

Secretary Wesley Black beat a
drum. The Premier, in a takeoff
on a Vancouver Province cartoon
showing him dressed’as Nero fid-
dling while the bonds burned,
led the band playing a fiddle.
After Noel Murphy, presi-
dent of the B.C. Social Credit
League presented the Premier
with his picture done in oils,

to speak.
The Premier received a stan-
ding ovation and when he went
to speak his voice broke. He im-
mediately called upon the old
speaker’s standby of calling on
old friends in the audience un-
til he was able to get his voice
under control,

He then assured all those as-
sembled and the Mayor of Ke-
lowna, “as a freeman of ee
city,” that the debt

cream and soft drinks at Kel
owna's park and there were priz-
es for the best-decorated bicye-
les, There were even special atf-
ternoon fireworks for the kids.

Everyone else In the clty was

invited to a garden party at
Mr. and Mrs. Bennett's spac-
fous home‘and grounds on Eth-
el St. All the cabinet ministers
I spoke to at the garden party
recalled with pleasure their
visits to -Castlegar, Kinnaird

‘and Robson during the Decem-
ber byetection,

At 545 the Premier and
members of his cabinet loaded
the bonds aboard a 100-foot
square raft parked in front of
the aquatic. The Premier, his
cabinet and red-coated Mounties
Posed for pictures holding the
bonds with the word “void” prin-
ted across them,

I noticed that in addition
to the word “void,” the signatures
on the bonds had also been
blanked out with a solid square
of printer's ink.

“Wait 'til we get our hands
on the national debt,” called
Lands Minister Williston to Don
Brothers who was busy recording

the scene with his movie camera,

That evening the Premier,
his cabinet and their wives rode
through the streets of Kelowna
in open convertibles to the aqua-
tie show being held at Ogopogo
stadium,

The largest crowd ever to
Pack into Ogopogo stadium fil-
led It to at least one-third lar-
ger than capacity. Thousands
of persons who were unable to
set into the stadium Ilned the
park's beaches,

After the aquatic show the
Premier and his party went out
into the lake, and at about 10
p.m. the Premier shot a fiery ar-
row into the bond-piled raft, A
cool evening’ breeze fanned the
raft and bonds into a blazing in-
ferno and the public debt of B.C.
went up in flames, ’

After the bonfire was well
underway the fireworks display
started. Four hundred and eighty
pieces of fireworks were used up
in a display that lasted just over

an hour.

During the display the crowd
powly. filed out of Ogopogo sta-

dium to carry on the celebration
into the wee hours of the mor-

ning.

Creston Man Made
Real Esiate- Biortar

Barry A, Fowlie of Creston
has been appointed a director of
the real estate council of British
Columbia.

Members of the council,
which assists the superintendent
of insurance in the licencing of
real estate agents and salesmen
and in the enforcement of the
real estate act, are appointed an-

Manager of F. A. Fowlie &

earlier this year,

Mr. Bennett was, called upon

genuine and BC. is out of publle
debt at this tim

Mr. Bennett “foresaw an ad-
ditional $25,000,000 a year to be
spent in B.C. as money that once
went to paying the interest on
the debt. Combined with the mon-
ey that went to paying off the
public debt, during the past seven
years, Mr. Bennett hinted at an
ambitious multi-million dollar
program over the next 10 years
which will indirectly benefit ev-
ery B.C. resident.

Noting that the detalls of the
Program were something for
the speech from the throne
and the budget, the premier
satd he could predict what some
of those benefits would be.

Some of these plans, he said
include financial support for
chronic hospitals; an expanded
program which will benefit eld-
erly citizens; an incerase from
the present $28 a year home-

the department of agriculture to
assist the sale of farm products;
new recreation facllities, and a
