The United Appeal and What if Really Means

Each year around this time we publish an
editorial urging district residents to support the
District United Appeal
campaign which takes place throughout the

annual Castlegar

month of October.

While this editorial has become a kind of
“duty", nonetheless the sincerity with which we
present it never diminishes because we believe
in the United Appeal; we believe that the

United Appeal is a real, vital

community as people set out together to help
one another in a genuine living of the Goiden

Rule.

In re-reading our editorials of the past few
years, we don't think we ever expressed our
feelings better than in the following words

written a year ago:

The Castlegar District is made up of
people—and its measure of greatness can be no
greater than that of the people in this area.

If this district were human it would have a
heart, But even though it isn’t human, it still has
a heart. That heart is the Castlegar District
the voluntary community
agency that once a year collects funds for life
distribution to about 26 local, district, provincial

United Appeal,

and national organizations.

In between annual, canvasses the United
Appeal operates with a volunteer board of

that hear

requests for funds and whe make the necessary

of those

monies, But each year at this time the volunteer

directors are joined by over a hundred other

link in our operation,

concerned citizens who voluntecr their time and
energies to go out and collect the funds
necessary to sustain the Castlegar District
United Appeal for another 12 months of

We in this area and Canada have made
tremendous social and material progress. But

despite our advances there is still plenty “of

evidence to show that the behaviour of society
hasn't made the same rapid advancement, To
the old question of “Who is my neighbor?” many

people still reply ‘I don't know.” And others

say “I don't care."

But provision for our neighbor, and the less
fortunate of our neighbors, must go on
unceasingly. We must all look to the unending
task of helping our fellow man—and we can do
this best through our United Appeal. We should
do what we can, in this district at least, to make
better for those less’ fortunate than
ourselves, and to assist our young people and

our senior citizens as well. Please support

YOUR United Appeal this month. Thanks to
you, it’s working.

Patricia Young Says...

Who Says Its the Little Things That Count?

Mae The big things in

gy life don’t bug me—
‘just the hundred
and one little
things which we
continue to put up
with,

Like the way
a woman has to rake through
her purse in search of the front

cent painted keys of course!

Then there's the super-
market. Why, or why do they
constantly re-arrange their
shelves? Just when you know
how to zero in on the prunes,
pickles and parsley flakes, you
find someone has done the
monthly spring-cleaning to
place them elsewhere!

manufacturers who haven't yet
devised a way to keep the metal
ends intact until at least the

always glue the: frayed ends
together with nail polish—but I
shouldn't have to!

What I want are some
rubberized garden slacks so
that I can get down on my
knees without risking a bout of
gout. I need an aerosel can that
doesn't die on me after the first
few squirts.

How about a_ special

grappling iron to get at the
contents inside a cellophane
wrapped package? Or a screw-
top jar that unscrews without
being doused in boiling water.

And while I adore my

those people who print my
stamps on rice paper and who

expect me to supply my own’

glue. I want to see fuse boxes
marked as to what rooms each
one controls. I wish that
clothing manufacturers would
get together to standardize
sizes; that automobile manufac-

There are several regret-
table things about the coup in
Chile. It is always regrettable
when a popularily elected
leader is overthrown. It is also
regrettable that long and stable
history ‘of'demberacy’ iti” Chile
was ended by the military.
Chile, alone, among Latin
countries had experienced dem-
ocratic tranquility for many
years,

T have been an especially
interested observer. My sche-
dule calls for me to be in
Santiago, Chile, Oct. 6. I am not
certain what I shall find among
the Chilenos. However, one
thing I know I will find. It is
impossible for any country to
go through the agony Chile has
endured without leaving a
residue of hate.

* Nor can new governments,
new laws and a new political
philosophy dissolve. such hate.
Only the love of God can do
that. So I'm going to Chile with
one motive only—to sow a little
bit of love.

There is hope, too, because
God's love is a_ heavenly
leaven—it grows and grows.

NDU Enrollment
Similiar to Term of Last Year!

Enrollment figures re-
leased last Thursday. by tho
fegistrar of Notre Dame
University of Nelson, Dr. D, F.
Larder indicate that student
registration will likely hold the
Nine in terms of last year,

Although final figures are
not yet available the present
tabulation shows an enrollment
this year of a total of 484
students, 103 of whom are
part-time and the remainder
full-time,

In 1972 there was a total of
489 registrations, 62 of which
were part-time.

The statistics show that

onrollment on a part-time basis

has increased by about 100 por.’

cent while the full-time count
has dropped about 9 per cent,
Dr. Larder attributes the drop
in new student registration to
publicity received from the
university regarding the Co-
wan Commission, investigation,
Lack: .of new students
accounts for virtually the entire
reduction in full-time cnroll-
ments, He added that it is’
encouraging to note a 12 per
cent increase in the retention of
students, Two hundred. four
students returned this year as
opposed to 160 in 1972.

Production Work Merits
Looked af by Employees

Why not be a production
worker? Would I be better off if
I learned a trade?

Many already employed
workers and many who are
about to join the labor force are
asking these questions,

Manpower counsellor's
answer is “maybe yes—maybe
no,”

It is nol a case of avoiding
the issue but an effort to have
the person examine the many
aspects involved.

The thought of being a
tradesman appeals to many.
The wages are frequently
higher and the work in some
ways felt to be more challeng-
ing than preduction-type jobs.

Tradesmen work in either
the construction or mainten-
ance fields.

Construction means high
wages but work interruptions
between projects finishing and
others starting. .The industry
also suffers from higher un-
employment levels during win-
ter months and often means
working away from home and
family on remote projects.

i t

inside work out of the rain,
snow or hot summer sun,
Fringe benefits are good and
getting better. Shift work is a
drag to some but others enjoy
the things that shift work gives
them a chance to do,

When making career
choice decisions, be sure you
consider the many aspects
involved and get as much
background information as you
can so that you can have faith in
the conclusion’ you reach,

Local Life Ins.
Agent Protests

Premier’s Remarks

A ‘local life insurance
agent, C. Arthur Anderson of
Robson, has taken issue with a
recent statement by Premier
Dave Barrett that insurance.
companies doing business in
this province are “siphoning
money off to Toronto.”

Speaking of his company,
The Mutual Life of Canada, Mr.

Andi says that as of Dec.

work y a,
teceive good wage rates, can
live at home and usually have
better fringe benefits including
scheduled holiday periods when
the youngsters are out of-
school,

Remember that the con-
struction man takes his holi-
days when the industry does
not need him—not when he
wants to when-the weather is
nice and schools are closed, for
the summer...

Now consider these facts:

Industrial plants. are built
to produce a product; construc-
tion tradesmen build the plant
and maintenance tradesmen
keep the machinery in top
running conditions, ,

But none: of these trades-
men are needed unless there
are workers ready, willing and
able to do the production jobs
involved,

When the total of all kinds
of jobs in Canada is examined,
it can easily be seen that
production jobs far outrank the
number of jobs in the trade
area, As Canada develops more
secondary industry, production
jobs available will grow much
faster than job opportunities in
the ‘trades.

Remember, too, that the
production foreman, plant sup-
erintendent and production
manager jobs are frequently
filled by promoting a worker
who has worked his way up the
ladder via the production side.

Most production jobs offer
year-round emplayment at

good income levels; usually it is ,

B.C. Judge Nancy,
Morrison Speaks .
At Selkirk College

- Nancy Morrison, the. out-
spoken and controversial B.C.
judge, will speak at Selkirk
College Friday night.

Formerly a lawyer of
“people's problems", Ms. Mor-
vison has received national
press attention for her defence
of prostitutes and the Women’s
Movement. A_ brilliant and
witty ‘speaker, ‘Judge Mor-
rison’s public addresses are
always very’ popular.

A member of the Liberal
Party, Ms. Morrison is the first
judge to be appointed by the
NDP government, an appoint-
ment which has not curbed her
sharp langue and social criti-
cism. i

Judge Morrison's address
kicks off a two-day program,
“People vs, the Law—Know
Your Rights", to be held at
Selkirk College. The program,
organized by the West Koote-
nay Council for the Status of
Women, is designed to explain
to the layman his legal rights
and commitments.
