The Herd..Law, as it: iswn, was made a statute of the province of | itish’ ‘Columbia in 1936. It is probably a: ‘codification of. rights existing under customary law.’ Its main provisions are that cattle can run at-large everywhere except in districts. that have. obtained the right from. the government to. establish a pound area. This: is done by a petition of the: majority of citizens in. an area‘asking - that such should be established. - It is always. difficult to change laws which de- pend upon ancienr custom and this right to run cattle at large was a matter of commonsense in days when the only traffic:.on’ the roads was horse drawn. It :constituted no “peril either to the foot- traveller or the driver of a vehicle. Today, with the introduction of good roads and .the fast moving traffic. of the automobile thé picture different. The danger is not confined to the range lands, but is also in evidence on- such winding mountain roads as that between Nelson and Castlegar where cows‘ are turned out to graze on the road side. It~ is not ‘too much .to expect that the government should take measures: to. ‘safeguard motorists by a revision of the Act; which:would enable it to keep cattle off the’ road ‘in certain’ areas. Bventually” al! roads through range ‘land may have to be! fenced in, but-in the meantime study g should be made of the matter. 'Sirriply put, the ques--" tion is, which is more important: the convenience of cattle owners. or the safety of the public? , ; . —(The Nelson, News) OWN HIDE COMES FIRST : it may..be something of a novelty. to pedple . - with short memories to see Britain, on the threaten- ing end in-a crisis,:and the United : States on the pacifying one, but it takes' only afew moments of consideration -to perceive the iron logic: and ege-old -tradition of: it all. The present crisis, .of course, is the Stee Canal embroglio, with Britain. and France making war- likee noises ‘and gestures, and the United States “anxiously. pouring oi! on the. troubled..waters..

PARTING IS NOT Parting may be “such sweet sorrow”. for lovers, but for me it is ome grand headache. To some . Castlegar residents -I know who were also.“just pas- sing through” forty years. ago and are still here, nine years is a mere moment’s pause; none- theless, nine years can weave a great many. roots of one’s own life into the: sojl’and roots of a community, particularly if one is closely associated with the grow- ing‘ gerleration of that com- munity. It" is hard to ‘realize that only nine years ago. that Pine Street (up fromthe station) was a gray. dirt: road and’ that: the sole occupants were .‘West’s Niouse: and the’. store, the: Castle- gar Hotel, and ‘Horswill’s « (mow Bob’s) store, °-2 and ~ ‘a. wooderr ‘poardwalk. one Lewis“: tO the “village, bridge (same ridge). faced a b> thrown from. the’ porch: ‘and ‘Pete's’ -would‘have: raised -|would “Have: been} a cloud:/-of dust ‘or just ‘affother -fire,: It was ‘a! very “brisk year for the Sons |. of Freedom: -- noe “Kintaira was a few seatter- ed ‘houses, while at Robson “the high ‘school ~ population had soar- ed'to eighty-five, with one class '(miney:°in’ the! church ‘hall. ‘And ‘every. one! everywhere passed” the’ time: of day with everyone” else, whether he -was a. stranger’ or not, and the Castle News, .also''just starting, iny the theatre basement, , was .
