CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday May 29, 1958 Identity Cards Stupid A suggestion that a curfew be placed ‘on Sons of Freedom, that identification cards be prepared for them and that road blocks be established to check after-curfew activities ‘was made at a special meeting of the Nelson Chamber of Commerce Monday. The sugges- tion is a stupid one, The idea is incapable of fulfillment be- cause all Sons of Freedom are not known and thus to try to provide them with identification cards would be impossible. A story on the front page of this paper shows District residents are sorry that ortho- dox Doukhobors are suffering from the pub- licity resulting from the actions of the fana- tical Sons of Freedom. We are afraid that the next idea to come out of that city 28 miles to the east of us will be that all Doukhobors be issued identification cards. This would be a step backwards and one that would do no good. “Bombing of the Nelson bus depot, power lines and poles early Sunday morning calls for immediaté implementation of two of the resolutions passed by the public meeting on the Doukhobor situation held here May 12. Folow Meeting’s Suggestions The provincial government should im- mediately increase the $5,000 reward offered for information leading to the arrest of ter- rorists to $25,000. They should also make -available more personnel and equipment to the RCMP to combat and prevent this ter- rorism, : ee: The meetings thirdi recommendation, that a continuing commission be established to act as an executive of a new consultative committee, should also be given serious con- sideration with the view of implementing such a body at the earliest possible date. On January 11, bombs were found in theatres at Nelson, Castlegar and Trail. On January 15 a passenger train was nearly hurtled 100 feet down a mountainside when it was derailed from tracks torn apart by dy- namite. It doesn’t take too much intelligence to realize the meeting’s recommendations should be followed, Our Own Zoo Allen Woodrow’s Robson zoo may soon be subjected to a licence fee of up to $100” according to B.C. game commissioner Frank Butler. Mr. Butler said new regulations govern- ing the operation of private zoos in the pro- vince will be announced shortly in Victoria and will call for a licence fee of “up to te Zoos in the province that would be affected are Mr. Woodrow’s in Robson and ones’ at Victoria and Nanaimo. The three zoos have just undergone in- spection after a. 350-pound lioness escaped from the Nanaimo zoo and mauled an eight- year-old girl to death, Mr. Woodrow's zoo was found satisfactory. Castlegar and District children and adults are fortunate in having a man like Mr. Woodrow who. is interested enough in ani- mals to allow the public to see them at no charge for all the work he does. If his zoo is subjected to an added $100 cost each year it is liable to be too much for his small opera tion. The provincial government should care- fully review its plans for such a licence before putting the fee into effect. If it doesn’t, and if Mr. Woodrow is forced to pay such a fee, then means are going to have to be found to have the fee paid for him. Perhaps some District organization could raise the money for the licence, or even the children themselves with a collection at school. In any event, Mr. Woodrow shouldn’t have to foot the bill b he is (continued from page 1) sider it a joke when the govern- ment in Ottawa refers everything to provincial authorities, The disgrace for the actions is at- tributed to Canada ond Canada must answer for it, federally, es- pecially if the issue reaches un- iversal proportions.

When 1 jook at my dog and others, I'm not too sure people know what they mean by holding dog shows. No dog is beautiful. The New York Post Office hed the right idea when it held a contest for the dog with the kindest face.. A beagle, complete with floppy ears and large mournful eyes took the prize. He won the hearts of the judges, three bluff post- men, well-scarred from their adventures on the beat. What others would be better judges? Postmen and police have been notor- iously a target of dogs the world over. One Postman thought he had solved the problem when he took dog biscuits with him on the route and fed the dogs. His: reward was a severe mauling from a dog who felt he didn't]: get his fair share. He didn’t repeat the ex- periment. Men who bite dogs must be superhuman. A recent case came up where a farmer found his dog continually -killed his chickens. . He waited until the dog sank his teeth into another old biddy, then snuck up on him and gave the dog a severe bite on the back of the neck, The farmer says the dog avoids chic- kens now. | think that any guy who will match a dog teoth for tooth, deserves to keep all his chickens, A friend of mine stopped by .to admire my dog and warned me.to sell it while the livestock prices were up.

The farmer told him he cut off the tail to make sure he gave him the right animal. Nothing is prettier to me thah a dog's tail wagging..
