CARIBBEAN — OUR ELEVENTH PROVINCE?

There has been some talk about the British |
colonies in the Caribbean joining Canada and forming

our eleventh province.

The Caribbean dependencies are about to unite
into a dominion, thus securing for themselves essen-
tially the same political rights now enjoyed in Canada
—the same rights enjoyed by Newfoundland, when
that dominion voted to unite with Canada.

Canadian interests are already strong in the re-
gion, made up of the larger islands Jamaica and Trini-
dad and o host of smaller islets, commonly known as
the Windward and Leeward Islands. Mining, oi!, ship-

ping, and importing firms have all gained substantial .

footholds there.

Canada would profit immensely if these islands
became part of our rational territory, not only'by the
acquisition of mineral wealth and a source of tropical
fruit, but also in a strategic sense, since’ the
Caribbean Islands would provide us with a military
and economic base of operations in the very center
of the Hemisphere, at the crossroads of the shipping
lanes. .

The population of the Isfands, on the other hand,
would also be better off through the inclusion in the
dollar area and the subsequent rise in standard of liv-
ing, not to speak of better opportunities for work and
education.

We would therefore urge our statesmen to con-
sider the proposal very seriously and to create the most
favorable conditions for the sunion. '

The Castlegar Ministerial
Association

Miss PENNOYER

SEEK THE LORD, AND
YE SHALL LIVE. Amos, 5:6

A man who operated an ice
house in the, old days once lost
a good watch in the sawdust. He
offered a reward, and though
men went through the sawdust
with rakes, they were not able to
find the watch. When they left
the’ building for lunch, a small
Hoy went into the ice house and
came out a few minutes later
with the watch. They asked him
how he had found it, and he
replied, “I just lay down in the
sawdust -and listened, and final-
ly I heard the watch ticking.”

There are some of you who
have lost more than a watch. If

you will be very still and listen
quietly the Lord will speak to
you and show you just where
you lost the power and the vic-
tory which you so sorely miss.
Then you will find it again; and
it will be through the Lord
Jesus Christ, as He shows’ you
how sin came and interfered, and
how you can get back into fel-
lowship and peace. John 1:7, But
if we walk in the ight as He is
in the light, we have fellowship
one with another, and the blood
of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth
us from all sin. In Jesus Christ
you will.find One who is able to
meet your every need for: time
and eternity. “Seek ye the Lord

and ye shall live.”

Hiking, Skating

A hike with a camp meal
cooked at the riverside was en-
jbyed by a group of Girl Guides
during the past holidays, and last
Sunday two Patrols had a skating
party at the rink, followed up by
cocoa and cake served by the
Patrol Leaders,

A similar skating party for
the other two Patrols is planned
for next Sunday, if cola weather
and good ice continues.

The Guides have had an
active winter peried so far, with
good attendance at the regular
Friday meeting nights. On Dec-
ember 22 a combined Guide and
Brownie Christmas Party was.
held in the Parish Hall, at which
the Brownies entertained by
singing carols «and . presenting
short skits, while the Guides
supervised games and ‘assisted
in the exchanging of gifts.

By Rosalyne Williams

I noticed some of the stu-
dents took advantage of the cold
weather lately to enjoy skating.
In order to show the people .of
this district that we appreciate
the effort and time which they
spent in building the rink, we
should make good use of it, May-
be in a few years we will be able
to have a rep team for curling.
Anyway, it is something to look
forward to.

Also dealt with and passed
