Hi 4 and Forty-Seven
un awed by infl and

Attempt Should be Made +

News that the old Minto that served
people and communities along the Arrow
Lakes from Robson to Arrowhead so well
for so many years is available for $1 from
the present owner brings mixed reactions.

The -Minto should never have left
Castlegar or Nakusp in the first place, but
both communities at the’ time the CPR
had it for sale were too small in popula-
tion to properly care for it. Now the Min-
to is available and the Castlegar-Kinnaird-
Robson population is certainly large eno-
ugh to support the restoration of the boat
— but it’s presently beached some 90
miles up the lake.

News that the boat is available comes
at a time when both Castlegar. and Kin-
naird are well advanced on their Centen-
nial projects. The Kinnaird swimming pool
change ‘rooms and wading pool project

as well ad d and the Cast! Cen-
Jennial library plans have been prepared
‘and land has been set aside for the pro-

‘Ject.
oy But some group should — at the
very least — investigate the possibility
of obtaining the Minto and the setting
up of it in, the Castlegar area. Such an
important part of our history should not
be lost forever without at least a try be-
ing made at keeping it.

Here are some ideas — some good,
some bad — that are worth investigation:

@ Investigation by private indiv-

Minto from owner Dave Nelson at the
$1 he is prepared to sell it to civic groups
for and its development here as a private

But if there.is pleasure for grandparents
there is also: the duty — a most important ©
thing — of providing love: aud affection.

It is most probable that the ills of society
stem from the fact that the children have not
had enough ‘affection in their early days. A
society in the U.S, recognizes this by provid-
ing foster grandparents for children in institu-
tions. It works, too. You can be foster grand-
parents. Just smile at the children in your
block instead of putting on that frozen face.
Why even those wild eyed sour faced adoles-
cent girls will smile back and the joke of it is
that in a couple of year’s time they will be so
pretty that you won't dare to smile at them.

Little kids are lovable. As babies, they are soft and

im every way, they grow smarter and smarter.

step, the first word, the first fist-fight with the little girl
next door, the first day at school, the first big crush on

hand of the bigger girl from riext dcor, as the rounds are

There's Christmas coming, and the growing excite-

and rustley paper in.closets, and the hair-raising help
in decorating the tree.

And there’s Valentine’s Day, with the great social
decisions to be made, about who gets the five-cent card
And there’s Firecracker Day, when they have to stand
in a circle and watch their father burning his fingers and
scorching his eyebrows while he -shows them how care-
ful they must be. ©

All in all, little kids are about the greatest single
blessing we can find in this vale of tears. They're a laugh
a day. They can make you feel big and strong, and cap-
able, and honest, and whole,

‘There's only one thing wrong with little kids. Inevi-

The tendons’ of the family body begin to stretch, un-

grabs you is the influence of the outside world.

. Everybody, from the prime minister to the local
plumber, tells your kids they have to stay in school. It

doesn’t matter whether they have the brains of a louse. *

A drop-out, these days, is practically a felon. In fact,

don't be surprised if‘all drop-outs are sent to the moon, |

doctor. Her reaction? “That fink!”

And she makes a date’ with some long-locked, Yam-

two-year technical ‘course, makes $25 a week in his part-
time: job at the super-market, probably drinks, and will

be rich by the time he’s 25.

And your son? Same, only moreso, He looks on LSD
with the same interest with which you looked on the
literary, social and debating. clubs when you were his

+ age. He helps himself to a beer with the same nochalance

with which he used to take a banana.

But cheer up, parents..There’s one satisfaction. if
you can hold out physically, you're going to be able to
sit around and Jnugh yourself silly when your kids are
bringing up their Kids.
