Castlegar Cubs Wind Up Season With Weekend at Camp Rory

: OER ACO ars Sake eines
2nd Castlegar Cubs End Season With Weekend at Camp Rory

Letter to the Editor

Disagrees With Young ‘Bleeding Hearts’ Were Active at Habitat

Dear Sir:

I feel I must attempt to
make some sort of reply to last
week's Patricia Young’s column
in the Castlegar: News titled
“Bleeding Hearts Active at
Habitat.”

Her argument, as I under-
stood it, was: “Look at the
virtuous North Americans. All
you need is some hard work and
sweat and you'll have a para-

r all, you can see what
we have done in the past 300
years.” Implicit in the argu-
ment is the attitude that all
those “over there” are’ lazy,

ignorant and just plain incom-.

petent.
First, just stop for a
minute and look at ourselves. If
we live the way we are
presently living for the next
200 years—and that's just a
of the age of the
civilizations inIndiaand Asia—
what'state do you think we and
our land will be in? Sure, we're
Prosperous now, but at what
expense—and ~waste—to our
land and resources. And what

+ condition are we in morally and

spirit

Is - this great ‘race to
productivity, efficiency and
consumption teaching us much
about how to communicate with
each other? I personally have
found living in a village or town
in Sri Lanka or Nigeria much
more fun—socially—than in any
town here. The places there are
alive—everyone talking and
gossiping and socializing—not
just on market day, but any
time of the day or night.

Here, with our extreme
sense ‘of privacy, with our
closed doors and individual
sources of entertainment, life
an be’ extraordinarily lonely
and isolated. Any who saw the
film “A Sense of Place", made
especially for Habitat, will have
seen what I mean.

‘Those in the “Poor World”
are not lazy, incompetent or
stupid. They work harder than

many of us can imagine to stay
alive and to keep ahead of the
diseases, parasites and. mal-
nutrition that are ever-constant
shadows in the tropics,

There's no way I can, in
this letter, elaborate on the
historical reasons for where
they are and where we are, But
there is a connection. Slavery
was not an accident—and con-
tributed significantly to the
“development” of the U. S. The
prices we pay for Third World
goods and the prices we charge
them for the manufactured
goods we sell are not accidents
either. We are rich and power-

in the world and we use
those riches and that power to
further consolidate and en-
hance our position, *

The message, for me, from
Habitat was clear. “Canadians,
look after your land and your
resources. Cherish and care for
them. Plan, not for the next
year but for the next 200.
Become aware of your relation-
ship with the rest of the world.
Make sure you are indeed ‘off
the backs’ of other countries—
make sure you indeed are able
to live without exploiting and
using someone poorer and less
powerful than yourself. Open
your minds and your lives to
other people, not only in your
own’ communities but every-
where’ on this ‘one earth’.”

Married Life
Is Very Public
The First Night

The first day of married
life for Duncan and Karen
Shargod of Christchureh, New
Zealand, started with breakfast
in bed—in the display window
Sa iuenittre store,

‘The couple did not have a
bed in their home when they
got married recently, so a local
radio station offered © them
one—provided they spent their
first two ‘nights in it in public.’

‘They accepted, spending

-their first night as man and

wife sleeping and watching
television,

‘The bed and the rest of the
$1,000 bedroom suite will be
theirs after another night on
display.

“It's been a lot of furs
Mrs. Sharrod said.

“As for the other,” added
her’ husband, “Well, there's
plenty of time for that, isn't
there?”

ele, But the 17 boys and 4
leaders had a terrific camp
despite this handicap,

To give-you an idea of what
the cubs did during the rest of
the season we have noted some
of the activities,

Friday Cub nights were
well attended throughout the
season, with instruction mainly
directed towards the Green
Star requirements, This encom-
passes a variety of outdoor
skills including map reading,
compass use, knots, fire light-
ing, elementary cooking, hik-
ing, ete.

We are pleased to say that
seven cubs, from our pack of 24,
were awarded the Green Star,
‘TnSPest wets close wo passing
and will complete the require-
ments next season, In addition
to this work, quite a few badges
were awarded.

Outdoor activities were
exceptionally well attended and
enjoyed by all. Events included
ice fishing at Nancy Greene
Lake, a sleep-out at Robson
Hall with the Robson Cubs,
rock hunting at Queen Victoria
Mine, Beasley, a cook-out at
Syringa Creek Park, a swim-a-
thon at Nelson, a bike-a-thon to
Ootischenia, to name a few. .

The leaders fee! we had a
very good session and look
forward to the new season
starting close to the end of
September.

If you are interested in
assisting with the Beavers,
Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, or the
Group Committee next season,
please call Gail Davidson.
