Ratepayers Should Meet
Carr, Sylvest at the Polls

The latest turn in the Castlegar Rate-
payers’ Association-Castlegar village coun-
cil dispute over,the adequacy. of the vil-
lage’s water. system and methods of im-
proving it came at council’s last meeting
when Comm. George Carr said that, as far
as he was concerned, ‘There's only to be
one answer next December.”

That is the way it should be.

The Ratepayers’ have stated their
Position on the subject and have drawn
up a report on the village’s water system.
The Castlegar council has studied the re-
port, has given its opiniog on the report,
and has stated that council is of the united
opinion that a second well (now being de-
veloped), the building of a new tank at a
higher elevation (now being erected), and
increased- pumping’ capacity will aleviate

any problems of low water. pressure in the-

village.
Thus council is united on its water

policy and the Ratepayers’ appear united
on their recommendation that a $200,000 tn.
water bylaw is necessary. Now Comm.
Carr has served notice that he expects the
Ratepayers’’ to meet him at the polls in ™
December if they wish to” persue. the sub-
ject further.

The .two commissioners whose terms
expire in December are those two who are
most directly connected with the subject of
water in the village: Comm. George Carr,
who is chairman of the fire and light com-
mittee, and Comm. ‘Aage Sylvest, Who is
water chairman, :

If the Ratepayers’ are truly convinced
that the only answer to Castlegar’s water

problems is the method they have suggest- at

ed and not the policy being enacted by
council, then they should meet commission-
ers Carr and Sylvest on the public platform
and at the ballot boxes next D ik

Protests Pollution
Of Kootenay River |

Dear, Sir: = 4

I would like to get ihe residents
of Kinnaird to strongly protest’ to
the health authorities the pollution
the Kootenay river by Nelson
and force them to put in a septic
disposal unit. :

The filth that comes down the
_ Kootenay river is terrible and “I

A Giant Hand-Out
To a Public Midget

At the risk of setting off another petu-
fant Schoolboy exhibition, of bad manners
i ‘The Vancouver § Sun, ’ he would like to
draw the public’s ‘attention to another facet
of our proposal that the CBC should be
sold in order to save the taxpayers from
the corporation’s annual multi-million-dol-
jar deficits.

All this, of course, farcibly reminds
us of a recent observation by a well-known
politici that gover its no
longer seek popularity by promising to
save the taxpayers’ money. Now govern-
ments woo voters by promising to spend
more money.

Our reflections onthe staggering

Timeless.

When David. Livingstone’s body ‘was
taken back to. England crowds thronged

the streets to pay tribute. to the noble mis-_

sionary. An elderly man among them ‘was
heard to sob aloud, andthe people won-
dered at his deep grief. é
t It was revealed that he and Living-
stone had been friends in their youth, and
as an ambitious young man, he had scorn-
ed Livingstone’s desire to give his life for
Christ in Africa. Witfh a life of selfish in-
terest behind him the man saw with regret
who had made the wiser choice and he
cried out: “I put the emphasis on the
wrong world.” — Miss F.. Clemo

Kids Where?

Quick — ‘where were. your kids after
supper last night ‘and who were they with?

A Vancouver lawyer, .H. ‘A. D. Oliver,
says the parents are few and‘far between
who know precisely. what their children
are doing at-any time of the day or night.
Therefore a great deal of blame for their
delinquencies must be laid at the: door of
the parents,

A newspaper onde tested this theory
by telephoning a dozen homes one summer
evening and asking the question:.‘‘Do you

know where your children are at this mo-:

ment?”
The case against parents seemed pro-

ven. Of the first 11, only two parents.
knew. The twelfth call: ‘was answered by a.
childisly voice. ‘I can’t. answer. that ques: .

- tion,”’ it said..“But I would like to know
where my parents are right now...”

1960-61. budget into a. pi
will enable the public to.assess and com-
pare the costs of this operation with other
publicly-owned utilities.

The most striking” comparison. “that

comes to mind ‘is the “1959 annual Tenort

of Canadian National Railways.

This, the largest. railway, system in
North America, is our largest public-own-
ed operation. It employs : almost ©112,000

persons. Its annual expenses total $720,: i

822,388. Its services to Canada hardly
need any elaboration.
.* Lst year this public, colossus showed
a ‘deficit of $43,588,290, ‘which is. more
than $8,000,000 less than it lost last -year.
We do not applaud the deficits of any
public operation but the CNR’s loss was
a comparative flea--bite to. that of the
CBC, a relatively tiny operation with a
giant-sized deficit.‘
CBC, with expenditures estimated at
$90,598,00 (one-eighth of the CNR’s).and

employing approximately -:7,000 persons i

(one-sixteenth the’ number of the CNR) is
asking for a public subsidy in, the: current
year of more than $62,000,000, exclusive
of a capital budget of $7,647, 000,: which
also must be paid out of the federal trea-
sury.

*, In other words, this corporate midget,
is-now asking two-thirds more. / from: the
public’ 's pocketbook than the gigantic CNR.

‘ Thisy would be bad enough if CBC's
deficit were stationary. But it goes up every
year. The current anticipated deficit is no
less than:a THOUSAND times greater than
that of 1945, only 15 years ago. What is
it likely to be 15 years hence if some effort
is not made to. shift this, burden?’ ..

. ‘These are the things Canadians should
think about’. when they’: next“ complain
about. their ‘tax bills, And if ‘this trend is

d to go on hecked ‘we .will one
day ruéfully agree with the: gentleman
who says: “You ain’t’seen nuthin, yet.”
