Where Have All ie Apartments Gone?

Some monthy ago the Castlegar vil-
‘lage council ‘refused the application of
‘some residents in ‘one area of the village
“who 1 the building of

duplexes there banned, At the same
thie. ‘ because there were few, objections
raised, it r idential sec-
tion ‘of the. village to allow the building of
apartments and duplexes. u

In both cases the Castlegar News
was vocal'in suggesting that the need in
this district was so great for apartment

that il should give
. its blessing to both apartment proposals.
_Our-editorial stand wa’ positioned in great
- part on the terrific number of families

who call at: our office daily enquiring a-
_ bout proper accommodation in the ‘district.

The need. is still just ag great and is
with us in ever incréasing numbers but
it ‘appears that those who ‘proposed the
apartments are not going to build to meet
that need in the immediate future. For

this reason,’ Castlegar couticil ‘should give”

an attentive audience to. any homeowners
in’ the two above mentioned areas who
inight ask that council reco

‘action and place the’ two

under a strictly residential ‘status. Coun-
cil’s action on thesé matters was premised

on the ‘understanding that construction _

would start forthwith.

Thompson Making Socialism More Sure

!. Robert Thompson, federal Social Cre-
it leader, is fearful that Canada ; some day
i ay slip into the clutches of Socialism.
Yet: lie advocates an ‘alignment of political
parties which ‘could have no other effect

_}: He hag put ‘forward: the ‘vidw that,
iristead of several parties, Canada should
have just two, one of the left’ and one

‘alternative choices for the Canadian elec-
‘torate. It could only mean that, if and

‘Ffeedorn of the Press’ Requires Dignity”

Long established profession such as

have some “standards and regulations . for
their members. Perhaps the principal rea-
son. that journalism is mot accepted fully.
ag a profession is that it'has no such stand-
ards .and regulations.

This fact is brought to mind ‘this
week by the irresponsible, vulgar, and
tasteless éditorial that appearéd last week

in ‘The Franklin News Post, published at *

Rocky Mount, Va.

‘In this editorial, Kermit Salyer, the
paper’s publisher, wrote ‘about the elec:
