CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, August 4 1960°

Formal Addresses, Please |
Around the Council Table

Is a chink appearing in the business-
like manner of the Castlegar village
council?

At recent ‘meetings cémmissioners *

have started to refer to each other across

the council table by first, names instead of

prefixing their remarks ‘with “Mr, ——’
or “Comm.. *, So far this unheard of
familiarity has not spread to the manner
in which commissioners address the chair-
man, They still refer to him as “Mr Chair.
man.”

The use of first. names instead of
more formal means of address may’seem
like a small thing, but this newspaper—
which has always been impressed with
the business-like efficiency of Castlegar
council, meetings—hopes that. this little
chink won't widen into anything that may
prevent village bisiness from being car-
ried out in anything other than a manner
which ‘befits a growing and Progressive
community.

‘Why Waste Good Men
‘On North Shore Riding

_. The thinking individual, on the North
Shore has come to realize that suddenly
he is faced with an absurb political res-
ponsibility upon his shoulders. He will be
faced at the next provincial election with
the problem of voting or not voting for.
a cabinet minister and two party leaders.

!- Regardless of an elector’s affiliation,
he’ cannot truthfully deny the fact that out
of two to be elected for the North Shore
provincial riding, thrée known, able admin-
istrator will be defeated. This is no fault of
the voter but a rather foolish course of
action taken by the leaders of. political
parties.

While a tyro in the political ring,
young and ambitious Ray Perrault is still
the leader of the Liberal Party in British
Columbia and, in the eyes of every loyal
party follower, should be elected. The
other banner bearer for the North Shore
Liberals is bombastic, hard-hitting Gordon
Gibson, ex-MLA and an old hand in the
government’s ‘business:

:. The Conservative camp is much the

same picture. Intelligent caliber but some-
what inhabile to ‘political office is Robert
Maitland and as his running mate is the
experienced Deane Finlayson, another pro-
vincial party leader who should, according
tothe Tory books, be supported and elect-
ed to office.

: Although we have not heard from the
Social Credit party, it is assumed that the
Hon. Newton Steacey, minister of agricul-
ture, will be standing and with ‘his exper-
ience should be re-elected. So think the
Social Creditors. The cabinet minister's
running mate is yet to be choseri out of ;

Knowton, Lyal Parkes and Cameron Car-
michael.

Hugh Clifford, very able old-line CCF
adherent and socialist, a willing fighter
and good loser, is sure to be one of the
party candidates while his unannounced

will btedly bea labor
leader of considerable stature from. the
Vancouver labor temple. The Communist
Party is also running two, -

Out of these ten pins, the electorate
eight- -ball will hit on two no matter how

it, is thrown, leaving eight to bounce into

limbo.
What makes party strategists think

that the North Shore riding is their piece ,;

of cake? Would it not have been a smarter
move, for instance, to have Mr. Gibson run
against Attorney-General ‘Robert Bonner
to settle a Well established feud. Surely Mr.
Finlayson, Mr. Maitland and Mr. Perrault
are better. known in a down-town Van-

‘couver riding than on the ‘North: Shore.

But “whatever -the , aaa may . be

that this magnifi ficent vote-splitting blunder

The CCF is so weak in Quebec and

we were impressed by one

between ourselves as primary producers of lumber,
and these representatives of a potential market.

The fact is that, British Columbia is doing a poor
job of selling in the United Kingdom.

The delegates were asking too many questions
about our industry and product for it-to be otherwise.
They were getting the answers all right, but the ob-
vious thought that occurred to an onlooker is,to. ask
why it is necessary for prospective customers to travel
-thousands of miles to find such answers. Surely infor-
