CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Oct, 18, 1962 CASTLEGAR NEWS “Here Yet the press the people’s rights maintain, unnawed by influence and unbribed by gain” Established in Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Seven “There is’ an old adage: ‘Everyone ‘ camplains about the weather, but no one ever does. anything about it.” "This situation “used to. be common among charitable" appeals in tlie Castle- gar. District.. Everyone complained about, the steady drain on their wallets, yet lit} tle was done to reduce the number and - frequency of appeals. No one will deny the ‘necessity of a‘ good rain, but a steady drizzle will turn a strong n man into a bab- bling idiot. Most of the appeals were for worthy causes which most people. wished to sup- port, but’ they often’ came too close to- gether or at a time when it was not con- venient for a person or family to donate. Then, in 1947, the Kinnaird-Robson-Cas- tlegar Communiy Chest was. formed to make one major appeal'a year on behalf of all organizations, This eliminated multiple drives, tag days and costly duplication of collecting metheds and administration of numerous appeals. It. also utilized the energies of canvassers to. better advantage. This coming Monday, between 7 and 9.30 p.m, a canvasser will call on YOU to collect your donation or pledge card for 1963. During the past few years the KRC has been handling between $15,000 and $20,000 annually. This, huge figure has been made up of monies contributed by only 395 of the approximately. 1,400 per- sons in .the Kinnaird-) -Robson-Castlgear area ‘who should. be contributing to the KRC Community Chest. In a. nutsell: one- ‘quarter of this area’s wage-earners Support the KRC munity Chest Monday Night have been carrying the load. for all of us. Before you refuse a volunteer can- vasser’ when ‘he calls on you Monday night, ask” yourself if there was one of the many ‘KRC Community Chest agencies that reached into your home during this past year. . Does your: son belong to Cubs or Scouts? Tf so, some of that money helps train professional leaders and: supports the: vast local organization that runs the association. ~ Is your daughter. a.Guide or Brown- ie? If so, here again equipment and fac- ilities are’ a must. and the KRC’ helped provide them. Té you. live’ in Kinnaird, did you or' your’ neighbor receive a basketful © of food last December from the Christmas Cheer Committee. If so, your donation to the KRC helped to provide it. The wel- fare committees in Robson and Castlegar also: received grants. Did you visit the Silver Birch hand- icapped school this year or a Senior Cit- izen’s meeting, give a pint of. blood at the Blood Donor Clinic, send your child|! to the summer camp supported by your church, or have the unfortunate occasion of having to call on a member of the St. John A a ion to ad ter first aid or Sonia neccessary help. If so, the.KRC Community Chest helped YOU. Now you can help others by help- ing the KRC. Let your contribution be your per- sonal thanks to the KRC Community Chest for the part it plays in the welfare and betterment of the. Kim -Rok oy, JANES K, NESBITT. Premier Ben. nelt bounced back from New 4 : fghadn’t told any- one ne ‘was going to New York, and so the trip became a bit of a.mys- tery. Everyone . surmised ne had gone to borrow | $400,000, to start his Columbia River “dream, But he did no such thing—or so he said. He eald the Columbia was not even mentioned in New York when he was there. That's a bit extreme, for our Premier to go a full without mentioning the Columbia —and: the' Peace—at least once. * He explained to the Press Gal. lery that he had gone to New. York on a sort of courtesy visit to the big money men in Wall Street, and to tell them that all is well in Bri- tish Columbia, ‘and that there's no austerity here, The big’ money. men dined our Premier in the swank Canadian Club, on the 18th floor of the Waldorf Towers, where dwell such notables as Herbert Hoover, Gen MacArthur and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, In between his money. talks during which the Premier told the big money men that there's no bet- te sink their gold than British Co- lumbia, Mr. Bennett _ saw”. two World : Series games, for: he’s'a great baseball fan. Premier told us his gov- ernment s ferry business is boom- the next few months, and then orders will be given for two more, thought the day would ever come when ferry fares would be reduced. first he said the ferry service is said it’s possible fares might: be eut one of these days. He gave’ as. surance profits’ from the ferries will not be:ploughed into: general Castlegar area: Hunting less Dangerous than Most’ Sports . The: approach of the hunting season is the signal once again for a number of people to view with alarm and point with horror to.the hunting accident toll. They will decry the sport as a dangerous’ one and cite the, current number of hunting accidents to bolster their claim. “Hunting is not a dangerous sport. It ‘ is not nearly. as dangerous as going for a Sunday drive in the family car. Almost. every’ weekend ‘there are more people Killed in atitomobile aécidents across Can- ada than are killed. or wounded during the entire ‘hunting’ season. Actually, in- surance companies rank hunting as 17th on the list of dangerous’ sports with such commonplace activities as football and swimming‘ near the top of the list. Hunting is not dangerous. However, some ‘of. the people who hunt are. dan- gerous, because they do not obey. the simple:: rules. of courtesy and’ safety. | These same people are equally dangerous when they disregard the simple rules of | (hes courtesy’. and :'safety at the wheel of their automobile, the rudder of a boat; on the diving board, the golf fairway or on the ski run. Sportsmen are one of the few groups who. are doing, something to make their hobby a safer. one. : All’. across: Canada hunter-training courses are springing: up under the auspices’ of hunting ‘and’ fish- ing’ groups. These» courses.. are’ aimed primarily at, teaching young ‘people ‘to think before they ‘act, to: be: responsible fo citizens who will be considerate of’ their ight and Courses are aimed at building the youth. of: today into responsible citizens of tomorrow. And. any group which: is: bulding better revenue to finance any other. government expenditure. Then the’ Premier Jaunched forth on a speech about all the new roads British Columbia will-get in the next few years. He grew so en- about: all the things his_ government does for. us, “people, “ that. I’ observed: the “Sounds ‘like: there’s an. election just: around the; corner, Mr.: Pre- mier,” to which the Premier said there's not;'no, said _thePremier, there's no'election in sight for B.C., and then'‘he said-‘there shouldn't be ‘another federal ‘lection at ‘this hedged. a ‘bit on this, said there no trimming,’ no austerity, in ‘B. and. then he explained it's ae business < to” watch:”’ government spending “in every detail In" this the Premier is quite’ sieht, Unless citizens: deserves the cooperation of’ all those who ‘take part in their. activities, . “Whether you ‘hunt, drive, fish or ski, whatever: you do this fall, do-it as ‘a res- ponsibile individual — safely and’ courte- ously. ‘Newspapers as Indispensible_ as Always.
