"CASTLEGAR NEWS, 5 Thursday, May 21, 1964 CASTLEGAR NEWS. “Here let the press the people's rights malataln, unawed by influence'and unbribed by at Established in Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Seven | Trust Kinnaird Council to Get a Good Deal It's not often that the press agrees that any sort of municipal council meet- ings should be held in secret, much less suggests that specific circumstances might warrent such action in some cases. How- ever, We believe that the B.C,. Hydro- Kinnaird village council negotiations on an alterriate supply of domestic water for the village during Arrow dam construction might better serve the. public interest if they are conducted in private sessions, . with C Cel Ce son that this newspaper hasn't suggested what it feels would-be the answer is sim- ply that those elected to represent .the residents of the village are -those who must be trusted in‘ making. the right: de- cisions — or the people will throw them “out of office. Kinnaird commissioners could do much worse than -to follow Castlegar’s example in this regard. Some years ago Castlegar couneil met in closed sessions The subject is an extremely one and any one of a number of different alternatives might be suggested as the answer to Kinnaird’s problems. The rea- No Virtue? Mr. K. has told his people that the fact: that there’s an awful lot of wheat in North America signifies ‘‘no. special ‘vir- tue” in our free-énterprise farmers) — it’s just that they use more fertilizer. Possibly the president of the: socialist re- public did not realize it, but he was par- aphrasing I. M. Laziloffer, well known to those who visit Town Centre Bowling and Billiard Academy. Laziloffer is known to the pool- play- ing fraternity as a born loser at the game, _ but has won some fame as a philosopher . and wit. This fame began when, ‘after a. humiliating defeat at the hands.of a vis-° / itor, he remarked, “This feller don’t ‘play pool any better ‘than ‘I do — he > just shoots straighter.” — The Letter Review np offic- ials to hammer out a suitable deal on: a source of domestic water supply for the -village and said nothing publicly until the agreement was signed. This sparked considerable controversy as those who felt the decision wasn’t the right one balked when the agreement was made. But his- tory proved the’ original council: right. Castlegar now enjoys safe, abundant wat- er, there: are no Sprinkling restrictions whatscever, pressure is good in all parts: of the village and though the water is. hard,::residents haven’t. been warned to” boil their water as ‘is the lot of those fel-. low citizens in the municipality that abuts Castlegar’s boundaries. Kiniaird commissioners should par- gain for the best deal, financial or:other-° wise, that .they can get from B.C. Hydro and then tell the rest of us what it is. Men of the calibre of those that make up: the Kinnaird ‘village council. aren't: going -to come off second-best in dealing with the © Hydro Authority: -They'll get. a good agreement and we’ve got to trust them to do 50. Finaglers Scare. Our "Tight Wad’ Canucks. United States publications accuse Can- adians of not being venturesome. We put ‘our money into life insurance, bonds ‘and banks, they say, and leave much! of the risky undertakings to foreigners. : Canadian ‘publications have repeated’ the charge and.so have certain prominent personages in this country. Gradually the: people of Canada are weakening under ‘the bombardment of criticism and getting to believe that something is. wrong with, their initiative. - We migtit: suggest that the eommon ; it 0! a Royal Commission to investigate the Se abledi should ensue. But there are so:'many Royal’ Commissions ‘cluttering’ up the af- “fairs of the nation that there is ttle room for another one. Having got those" comments off our chest.-we. intd.i of our own. Our conclusion is that the Canadian people have- been clipped, so often and have lost so much of their sav- ings in wild ‘cat: ventures launched by avaricious promoters that they are in-- clined to act more circumspectly. Take the oil boom in Alberta of a Plato Said The speaker quoted Plato, Burke and Disraeli: This did not mean. that he was a Greek scholar who sat at home every night reading nothing written later than the 19th Century. It was just that he had reached up to.a shelf and taken down a book of quotations to find apt ones for his purpose. He wasn’t trying to: deceive the au- dience. He knew that they knew he'd nev- er even learned the Greek alphabet; they had gone to the same school. The reason there are so many. class-. ical scholars making speeches . may be that the quotation books on the speakers’ shelves are usually old -editions. Instead of quoting Eric Nicol,.the speaker, per- force, must use a quotation from awit long dead. The uninitiated are impressed by the scope of the speaker’s reading.
