CASTLEGAR NEWS

ired and Forty-Seven

Road Should be Opened in Spring

Two stories carried on the front page
of this newspaper last week have import-
ant consequences for Castlegar and Dis-
trict.

The first story dealt with a letter

ber of

gathering that the Kinnaird-Christina
Lake link would be opened in the spring
of 1962 by means of a detour around the
McCrae Creek bridge site. . .

Every effort should be exerted by 3%

sent the local Chi ce by
Highways Minister P. A. Gaglardi. In it
Mr. Gaglardi noted that the “only reason”
the Kinnaird-Christina Lake highway has
not yet been opened is because the Mc-
Crae Creek bridge has not yet been com-
pleted.

The second story dealt with an esti-
mate by the highways superintendent in
Rossland-Trail that the McRae Creek
bridge would not be completed and ready
to carry traffic until late

I bodies, Chambers ‘of C
interested - organizati and
Trail MLA. Don Brothers to have ‘the
road opened early this spring by means
of the detour in preparation for the great
influx of tourists which can‘ be expected
from the Seattle World’s Fair.

In his letter, Mr. Gaglardi said his
department ‘will make every effort to
have this important new highway link °
open as soon as Possible. ”Ft is up to all

Disland.

At a banquet in Trail last Oct.2 spon-
sored by the Trail Chamber of Commerce
following the opening of the new bridge

in ‘that city,” Mr, Gaglardi ne the.

Be Loyal to Your

In. the. town where we grew up the
local newspaper carried a.line at the top
of its front’ page: “Be Loyal To Your
Own Community”. This used to puzzle us
during our immature years, because in
schoo! and. other ‘activities within. our
limited sphere we failed’ to understand-
how. one could'be anything else.

Adulthood brought.” understanding,
however, whex.we: “began: ‘to see that some

ly live.in'a‘town; while others
a) town. Some merely take
town has to’ offer, harvest
f ‘the citizenship of others, but
. responsibility and give noth-
ing’ in- return.

The editor of the Merritt Herald
sums itp rather conclusively:

.* One of the most important factors
x _ghe” Progress and development of any
ominunity is loyalty to the home town. '

*““ Canadian .,.communities are built
around’ the home, the school, the church
and the business. Loyalty to each of these

#reat institutions is vital.

Loyalty to the home is needed today
as never before, because the home cannot
‘be replaced in its. effect on the moral,
Spiritual and social development of young.
people by any of the other courses of our
domestic way of life.

Loyalty. to the school means giving
the teaching staff every encouragement,
seeing to it that they have the tools to do

or and p
make sure that “as soon as possible”
means early this spring just as the min-
ister promised last October.

wen n Commut ity

the great job that is theirs. It involves
team support and community events, and
so forth. It requires thought and time
and effort on the part of every citizen
to see to it that his community has a well-
rounded program of cultural and recrea-
tional activities.

There are other loyalties too, that
‘make for a progressive and good com-
munity.

Loyalty to the town business is very
important. Buying and supporting one’s
home’ town business is one way.of ex-
pressing such loyalty in action, for the
more local businesses ‘are patronized, the
better services they can render. Where

Kini
loyalty and co-operation exist there is “

confidence, peace and happiness.

Loyalty. to community organizations
enters the picture. A citizen should be-
long to some organization or even several
and then: give his best to. make the or-
ganization something worthwhile in -the
community.

Loyalty to. the home town means
boosting, not knocking; working not nag-
ging; thinking not sitting; solving pro-
blems, not ignoring. them; active partici-
pation, not indifference. Loyalty to the
home town,’ church, school, business and
organizations is a positive thing and. thus
cahnot help but make for true progress.

Are you loyal to your community?

Only you can answer that question.

Here's How to Run a Newspaper

A newspaper editor in Owyhee,
Montana, placed his: tongue firmly in his
cheek the other day and composed .a list
of answers to a questionnaire on what a
weekly newspaper subscriber would like
to read. Here are the responses to what
the average reader desires to see:

i. My name.

2. A front page article showing how
crooked the city government is most of
the time.

3. My wife’s name.

4. A feature article showing 25 ways
on: how to cheat on income tax forms.

5. My kids’ names.

6. A local news item about the affair
my neighbor is having.

7. A classified offering a new home
for sale for $4,000.

8. More news about law-breakers.

9, Less news about law-breakers, I
was picked up last.night and I should not
have to pay a fine.

10. An_ editorial condemning * high
school teachers for being too liberal, with
ups” ’

ILA wedding -picture of the groom,
instead of the: bride when ‘he is more

handsome than she is pretty.
12. Sports picture of me when I

‘ bowled 183. ‘

13. More advertisements on things that
merchants are giving away.

14. A front page picture of my neigh-
bor being hauled out of the bar by- his
wife.

15. A front page spread, about the
deadbeat who lives across the street from
me who just had his car- repossessed.

16. Forget the last one. I just got
word from the finance company that
they’re coming after my car.

17. More letters to the editor naming
the crooks we have in town.

18. A full page of local news, a page
of natiorial news, several pages of sports
and comics, one page on divorces and
three pages on all the domestic troubles
we are having in town.

19. Less stuff about how cute every-
body. else’s kids are. My kids are better
looking. than those you rave about.

20. A complete biographical sketch

-about: the “most important citizen in

town,” and le sure you spell my name
