To restate the real problem, B.C. needs a good, all-weather
highway from Cascade to the Columbia River, so that traffic to and
from the western part of the province need no longer detour through
the U.S. Surveys indicate the present route, with its torturous sum-

from Paulson near Christina Lake to Blueberry Creek on the Trail-
Castlegar highway.

Castlegar has ‘nothing to gain economically from either of the
routes since either would link with the proposed Salmo-Creston
cutoff and by-pass Castlegar. Therefore there has never been any

TEACH THEM TO THINK

“fry to teach them to think.”

That is the advice of Robert M, Hutchins, former - president of
the University of Illinois, to educators. Teach the young people to
think,

That may appear like a big task, but it’s not impossible. It
mears imposing some discipline on the, mind, It means providing
pupils in’their earlier grades with the foundation, the tools: that

the for the thinking that gives them judgement
and a sense of responsibility as they go from the school or the: col-
lege out into the world. And the tools are, by the large, the much
maligned Three R's.

The pupil that comes out of the schools with a disciplined mind
ig more likely to display the self discipline of the good citizen inf
later years than the pupil whose school years have been something
of a lark.

“Try to teach them to think” may sound a bit on the montonous
side so.far as the teacher goes. But it can lead to rewards in Inow-

Guid is also i to

problems and ‘their choice of a
vocation. Most ‘of the individual
work involved in counselling is

Editor, Castle News. - age
Sir:

It has recently been discovered
that the Piltdown man, supposed-
ly a.very important relic known
to science, is a fake and has, been
removed from the British Mu-
seum of Natural History.in Lon-
don.

This hoax has been carefully
prepared but is now.an object of
derision and is “being stricken
from science books. I have no
doubt but that Satan “who is the
father of all lies,” (John 8:44)
was behjnd the perpetration of
‘this hoax.

“Man has continually rejected
the Bible account of Creation and
has’ sought other . explanations
concerning man’s presence ‘here

Just why has the Bible been at-
tacked .so much? ‘The answer is
plain. There are’ many reasons,
Let us look at some of them,
. First the Bible is ‘the Word of
God.:God ‘commanded certain
men to write and they wrote “as

Spirit.” (2 Peter 1:21).
Jesus himself quoted from the

‘}entire Old Testament Scriptures,

the Law, the Psalms ‘and the Pro-
ets. (Luke °24:27:44) The New
‘estament is mostly an explana-
tion of the Qld Testament. The
Bible has been attacked so much
because it is the Word of God.
Second, Satan, an angel that
