CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, May 19, 1960 ’

Is the CBC Playing Politics?

Dismissal of Les Way, veteran B.C.
“Neighborly News” reporter by the CBC
because Mr. Way is:a Liberal candidate
for. the next provincial election in Van-
couver's Point Grey riding, is an action by
a Crowned-controlled company that will be
repudiated by most people in this province.

It smells highly of politics.

Mr. Way’s Sunday morning 10-minute
program is political in no sense of the
word. In fact it is not even an opinion or
commentator type program. It is a pro-
gram composed of interesting stories and

B.C. Making

anecedotes clipped from B.C. weekly news-
papers by Mr. Way and approved, altered
or vetoed by a CBC producer in line with
CBC policies. ‘
At a time when Liberal party hopes
are not too high in this province and when
men of ability but moderate means are
willing to carry that party’s banner to help
keep the party alive, it is repugant to most
people that the CBC should cut off part of a
man’s means of livelihood on such flimsy
frounds as the CBC has offered.

Gains

In Fighting Cancer

Faced with the grim figure that 44,-
-000 Canadians will get some form of can-

cer this year, it is encouraging to learn.

that B.C. is making some important gains
in its share of the fight to control this dis-
ease. . :

Within the last few weeks we have
had two announcements which show that
the Conquer Cancer dollars so gladly giv-
en in past years are hearing life-saving re-
turns.

. Of first importance.is the announce-
ment that B.C. is going to lead the way in
Canada in virtually eliminating one pre-
valent form of wouen’s cancer of the cer-
vix.

Doctors in charge of the newly-ex-
panded cytology laboratory at the B.C.
Cancer Institute announce they are pre-
pared to analyze smear tests from every
woman in the province. Starting 12 years
ago with a small grant for the Cancer Soc--
iety, these pioneering researchers have
perfected a technique for detecting cancer
of the cervix in its earliest pre-invasive
stage when it can be cured by simple
means. ‘

With the co-operation of the women
of this province and their family doctors,
they feel certain that their lab service
can end deaths from cancer of the cerviy
in a relatively short time.

Reducing Income’ Taxes

At this time of year, when so many
of us are figuring out how much we still
owe the income tax man, a taxpayers fancy
turns lightly to thoughts of how .wonder-
ful it would be if his taxes would come
down.

This possibility will remain in the
realm of fantasy until taypayers realize
that taxés can’t come down as Jong as

Hopes

Hopes and dreams are precious things,
The birthright of young and old,

They can lead us astray on fanciful flights
Or give substance to ventures bold. .

Some lead us on to. treacherous ground

With mirages of riches and fame,

Others guide us with caution through
perilous straits, : ‘

To an Eden which work can reclaim,

If we're content to merely sit back and
wish-

Our loss is too great to compute,

It’s véhen we study, work and try to achieve

That the seeds of our longing bear fruit.”

Success isn’t gained just through dream-
ing alone, :

It’s the effort that counts, not the fuss,

And if we give the best that we have to
the world-

Why the best will come right back to us.

— Margaret Obedkoff

The second announcement is’ of far-
reaching importance to the future health
of all citizens, It is the decision of the Na-
tional Cancer Institute to provide a $65,-
000 aperating grant for immediate launch-
ing of a new B.C. Cancer Research Insti-
tute in temporary quarters on the Univer-
sity of B.C. IF while a per
building made possible by a $625,000 pl-
eiee of Conquer Cancer dollars is being
uilt.

Japanese Trade.

A tise in exports to-Japan: is gratifying says the

Edmonton Journal, ‘but it also should serve as a warning | «

to the féderal government not to add to the barriers a-
gainst imports from Japan. The: Asian’ nation of more
than 90 million persons, crowded ona few small islands

cannot be. expected to accept an imbalance in trade with|*

Canada indefinitely; and: it is western Canada which
would suffer mainly if the Japanese were to use protec-

tive devices on their side. Wheat accounted for half the .

exports of- $139.9 million to Japan last year.”

_ Lesson at Elliot
There is-a bitter lesson to be learned from the fate
of Elliot Lake, thinks the Vernon (B.C.) News. {Here is
‘an excellent example of the folly of Canada relying whol-
ly upon the markets of the United States. For the present
time, uranium is a surplus commodity in the U.S. and

As R. C. Maddocks, president’ ofthe
local Cancer unit, has said, “Only concen-
trated research can provide the final
anwers to the cause and cure of. cancer.

Already research is making .possible f

more cures than .ever  -beforé. and
easing the burden of. suffering
for those who can’t be saved. The test tube
experiments of today are the treatments
of tomorrow.”

This month the Cancer Society is
again appealing for funds to sustain ‘the
fight against cancer. They ask us to “Fight
cancer with a checkup and a cheque.” This

newspaper, sincerely hopes that. everyche| -

in ‘this area will do just that. An annual
check-up is the. best way to guard against

A pointed reminder of this has been
offered to Florida taxpayers.in an adver-
tisement sponsored by .the Florida Power
& Light Co., which punctures the notion
that public ownership is a reat public
money-saver, i

Valley Authority—the vast federal power

British Columbians, who are being
told that public development and owner-
