The CASTLEGAR NEWS ‘wishes to conyratu these two bodies on their initiative ‘in the matter, We also wish to.call on all citizens —- young "Land old,.big and small—to exercise somewhat better judgment than is being. shown. at. present when moving along our streets and ‘highways. This applies not only to motorists, but also, and especially, to the tribe of bicycle riders and pedestrians. Highway No. 3 leading through Kinnaird and Castlegar is a highway, and. cars and. trucks from near and far drive along it at 30 miles per hour. This reminder is necessary, for some. people-‘are using the high way as a.sid@walk, meandering Glong — and across — in happy oblivion of cars and. trucks, who have to stop. or to swerve clean to ‘the’ other side to avoid hitting them, : : ) As' for motorists, the- general speed, limit off the highway is 20 mph, and’-15 in school zones. Little tikes cannot be, expected to follow, traffic rules if their elders do not show them how. .. PREPARE NOW TO WITHDRAW TROOPS : Canada should prepare “now to withdraw. ‘her troops from Western Europe. in the foreseeable . : : t future, ? ee é With Westar Germany regaining sovereignty and the right (and duty) to rearm, foreign: troops on-her _ soil can’ serve no ‘useful purpose. Nor do Canadian - troops: in France greatly strengthen the’ alliance’ or ¢ Franco-Canadian_reletions. . There’ is'no reason to assume that a Canadia ‘division -in Germany’ would” be “a “better fighting force than a. German division equipped with the same weapons. The history of foreign garrisons’ is .a singularly unhappy one, fromthe time of ancient ° ‘Romans. right to the: present. Names likeTeutoburg, Dunquerque, the Atlantic Wall;’ Suez, Korea, spell: ; disaster andlor’ frustration. The twin dangers of {a) softening of moral: ‘and physical fiber’ through excessive luxuries and: fast living and (b) mistrust and lack of cooperation on the part of native commanders, turn any foreign garrison into a sitting duck the moment hostilities break, out. One home-based division is worth two fareign-based ones. ; The only justification for foreign bases would ..be the fact that’ our allies.in Europe did not have the technical: equipment and know-how of modern warfare. But. with the advancement of intercontinen- tal bombers and. missiles, and the imodemization of re European armed forces — especially that of Britain : — even foreign-basis cir forces will very soon .be-- come obsolete. - % * Add to all ‘this the ill-feeling and resentment. _ created by foreign troops even among ‘very, friendly nations (as evidenced once again by the fuss over the DEW Line; the gun-drawing jncident, and fre- quent news. of tavern. brawls); dnd the need of — abolishing foreign garrisons. becomes very clear indeed. ‘| tain “citizens Castlegar has been ‘Lit and the. condition. which -oc- -outside ‘sources of entertainment ‘complaining © that 1) nothing to do in Hicksville. ~ Consider the Thirty-Years By E.G.0.: War (1618-48).
