Uses for the chalky material
are manifold. It is an essential
part of such everyday household
products as the detergent soaps
used by every housewife. One
corporation in the US uses 3,000
tons a week in the preparation
of filters for industry. The pulp
and paper industry uses vast
quantities.

One of the oddities of the pres-
ent drilling operation is‘the fact
that it couldn’t be carried out
successfully if it were’nt for the

mines — as a lubricant for the
drill and to seal up cracks in the

B.C. Writer Credits
Socred Victory To
Rev. E. G. Hansell

The story behind the Social
Credit party’s capture of the Bri-
tish Columbia legislature is told
by B.C. writer Mac Reynolds in
the current issue of Maclean’s
Magazine. Reynolds calls the
election, held in late spring, “a
political phenomenon unequalled
in Canadian histo’

Much of the credit, he says,
goes to “a short middle aged man
with a loud tie, a mouth creased
down at the corners and a perma-
nent five o’clock shadow” — the
Rev. Earnest George Hansell, na-
tional president of the Social
Credit Association of Canada.

Old line parties, says the art-
icle, dismissed Hansell as “a
Bible thumper from the prairies,
a funny-money man, a fanatic,
a flaming evangelist, an anti-
Semitic and a Fascist.”

But despite the fact that the
party went to the polls without
a leader it “nosed out the CCF
and administered the worst drub-
bing in provincial history to the
Liberals and Progressive Con-
servatives.”

“Hansell”, says Reynolds, “sew-
ed up the B.C. hinterland ‘with a
twisted thread of religion and
red-hot electioneering.” He often
hitchhiked from one speaking
engagement to the next. But he
sold his listeners — many of!
them dissatisfied with the cur-j
rent govérnment — on Social!
Credit.

Reynolds sees a determined
drive for Social Credit leadership
in the federal field: The victory
in B.C. is to Hansell, “missionary
work — a skirmish.” “Sooner or
later,” writes Reynolds “there
will be another political vacuum

to fill.”

Mrs. Wyllie Takes

took top honors in the women’s
singles tennis championship fin-
als at the Tadanac Courts on Mon-
Monday and then combined with
Mrs. Jenny Yerex of Trail to cop

sky of Castlegar was runner up

sorbed an almost similar 6-3,

Rising Interest In
Adult Education

Remember when we were back
in school and used to say, “Gee
I wish I were older and didn’t
have to go to school any more?”
How wrong we were! This year
adults are perparing to return to
school to learn the things thev
had always wanted to know but
were never taught.

While adult education is not|
new — it started a hundred years
ago with hobby courses — the
latest trend spotted in these clas-
ses show that the age of the. stu-.
dents is steadily going up. Adults
of all ages, especially the older
levels, are taking fuller advant-
age of new educational opportu-
nities.

Increased life expectancy and
shorter working hours all add 1p
to extra leisure time for Ameri-
cans, time which is being spent,
characteristically, for self-im-
provements.

This increased desire for more
learning is being fulfilled by
many institutions, from corres-
pondence schools and _ colleges
right over to Government bur-
eaus, museums, community cen-
ters, labor unions and _ libraries.
Also participating widely in this
activity are many stores and
manufacturers.

The first big impetus to adult
education came when heavy im-
migration at the turn of the cen-
tury necessitated special classe;
toeteach these newcomers our

‘language and our customs. But

the largest gain was made in th>
thirties when our concept of adult
education was broadened.
Courses in art, dramatics and
other subjects then considered
“boondogging,” received such
warm, welcomes that the concept
of learning for the older person
had to be widened to recognize
new needs. Until then courses for
adults were of the “how to get
a better job” type only, covering
such vocational subjects as book-

It is now possible to attend
adult education courses and learn
such varied Subjects as the latest
£ ing,
and the cutting of precious stones.
Expectant fathers can learn how
to make a formula and change a
diaper, while mother studies the
operations of a sewing machine.

A new experiment is under way
where art and foreign language
courses are given with parent
and child attending the same
class. Reaction so far is excellent
with parents agreeing that its
fun for everyone.

Though the day won’t come
when Junior takes Dad out to
the woodshed because Dad’s re-
port card wasn’t up to par, we
are certainly approaching the
time when having three genera-
tions in school at once won’t be

| an oddity.
