Letters To The Editor To The Editor Dear Sir, Would you please Insert the following in Dec, 4th issue Cas- tle News. a Would like to make 4 few comments on Proposed Water and Sewer bylaws 1st. What Assignment -- Tim Buck, head of Canada’s Labor-Pro- gressive (Communist) party, is back from Moscow. One remark he let drop on his re- tum to this country suggests that Mr. Buck's sojourn in the Soviet socialist paradise must have been far from pleasant. Party member- ship in Canada, Mr. Buck gloomily concedes, has dropped from 17,000 in 1936. to about 6,000 today. His Kremlin masters, to be sure, may be assumed to have rebuked Mr. Bugk severely for the decline in membership of the Labor- Progressive party. Apparently, too, they must have given him some advice on what to do about it. This is clear from Mr. Buck’s pre- diction that- as Canada’s economy declined into a paralyzing depression, the number of communists in the country would grow rapid- A Guest 'y- : dians to lose their jobs, By DR. ©. J, G, MacKENZIE, 3LD., O.M., D.P.H. The people of Castt egar are going to be asked to consider whether or not sewer sys- tems should be built in the Village. Sooner or later the problem of the Municipal sewer sys- tem must be faced by the peope of any com- munity. tt is generally desirable to install a sewer system as early in the life of a com- munity as possible. A community which relies on septic tanks dnd cesspits for the disposal of its sewage runs inte an increasing number of problems and expense as the years go by.

Canadian cammunists, too, may be expected to encourage every action by or- ganized labor that will drive wages sky-high and by forcing up costs and pricing Canadian goods out of the market, cause more Cana- No responsible Conadian tabor leader would willingly undertake to help Tim Buck in his disagreeable task. The tragedy of it is, however, that when it comes to strike threats to enforce excessive wage demands, labor leaders oftenti: find th i invol tarily.and unwillingly helping communism’s sinister cause, - - Editorial worse as the years go by and the community becomes more built up. : So, sooner or later. every community must put in a sewage disposal system. If this is done early in the existence of the commun- ity, costs are usually less. Streets are not clearly defined, curbs and gutters are not completed and paving is not yet done. Other services, such as water and gas mains are not as complex as they will be when the commun- ity is, let us say, double its present size. Therefore the cost of installation of the sew- do we have that we get value for our money. ‘The Village Commission seem they are here covered in ice and snow, with a'drop on one side and no handrails, Like that, they are dangerous, worse than none.

This time last year they said there was enough money on hand to complete a new water tank, Is it started never mind completed, but the money is gone and a considerable amount owing. The water fees were increased, but not the water. One individual was granted use of water every day during restrictions while numerous others sneaked same and got away with it.

WHAT DID OUR NATIVE PEO. PLES THINK OF THE NORTH. EEN LIGHTS? e The great curtains of shim- mering light that often play in the night sky during the Cana- dian winter gave rise to many myths among the. Indians and Eskimo. The Cree thought ‘they were flames. dancing from the camp- fires of the gods, Eskimos said they were spirits playing with a walrus gkull. According to the Norse, the lights were reflect- jons of sunlight flashing on the armour of the Valkyries as the’ maidens carried the dead to Val- alla. Intensive investigations of the aurora borealis, as the lights are also called, have been carried on during the current Interna. tional Geophysical Year, Today theWest Kootenay Power and Light Company, Limited as Elect- rical Engineer.

Same areas have excellent soil for septic tanks and few problems arise.

In any community, the lot sizes are limited and the problems of the domestic sewage dis: posal are often acute. The probl b .

Community Chest fund. The various churches who sup- port and sponsor the work of the Bible Society are grateful to the K.R.C. and the commun- ity for their interest and financial -support. Regarding the place of the Bible in our tives, Samuel Chadwick gives us this Test- imony. “ft have worked over the Bible, prayed over the Bible, lived by the Bible for more than sixty years; and | tell you there is no book like the Bible, It is a miracle of litur- ature, a perennial spring of wisdom, a won- derful Book of surprises, a revelation of ‘mys- tery, an infallible guide of conduct, an un- speakable source of comfort.” ° “) And many experienc ble readers tell us that if we wish to find lives, through the reading of the Bible, it is 's Word for our After ‘all Premises and a favoured few, and Would the ditches be left open anything like as long as they’ were for the water. £ Another thing I'm curious about, Who is responsible for Keeping Ice and snow off the side- walks? . , Any other-town or city I liv- ed in.

Instedd of doing this we should say to ourselves, “thou art the man”, and pro- ceed to dpply the teaching to our own lives and circumstance.

Start with, the Gos- pels, then on to the Act -of the Apostles,. (Luke and Acts go well together since they were written by the same author) then on to some of St. Paul's letters, and after that the Psalms of the Old Testament and the other books of the Bible. : + Finally'a word of promise and caution.
