CASTLEGAR NEWS, rhneeday, Dec, 17, 1964 ‘CASTLEGAR NEWS “Here let the press the people's rights bed by gal” .. : unawed by Established in Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Seven | Ferry Must Keep on Operating Here ‘Disclosure at last week's meeting of. the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce that |: the deputy: of hig ‘the - chai of the Chamber's C bi river development committee at Victoria recently that upon | completion of the road. over the Arrow dai the Castlegar fer- ries are to be ak dis a of uncalculable import to this area. It is an event that must not be allow- Last week’g meeting of the Castlegar and. District .Chamber of Commerce is the best that has been held this year. Outgo- ing. president Elmer Kraft ruled the meet- ing with an iron hand and a good deal more was accompished in the 14-hour business session than has often been ac- complished in sessions lasting twice that length of time. Ferbane there:is a lesson in this that ed to happen. It is':possible that the deputy minis- . ter’s viewpoint has not ‘yet been adopted as government policy and thus there may | yet be a glimmer of hope..There is also _the fact that there is little likelihood that < the highways department will have other . uses for the two ferries if they should be taken out of service here, After all, they are expensive things to dismantle and move and the,department has already an- nounced that the ferries further ‘up the lakes are: to be taken out of service at Renata, Needles and West Arrow Park. There is considerable foot traffic from the Robson area and while we shou- should maintain one of them, even if bat one ferry is put on a schedule of a return trip every 15 or 20 minutes. Rossland-Trail MLA. Donald ' Brothers should lose no time in making his. stand on this important matter public. At the same time the pnblic must be. forgiven if it in turn demands that any | assurances of inued operation: of this ferry come itive might If- aor attendance would pick up at Chamiber meetings if the members knew. that meet- ings were going to start right on time; useless debate were to be held to a mini- mum, and. that members: would pe allow-. ed to only speak twice to 4.motion, < az é -~.@" Wew the Tourists: ' ‘The suggestion made at last Week's of the Castt and District Chamber of Commerce that - the-.

The scenic value. of these power in- stallations has never ‘been capitalized on from a tourist promotion pot of view by; local Chambers and now is the time’ to start. Perhaps the Nelson. and.

It is explained that the letter repre- oavei's Gates © There is a realm of thought beyond The petty, mundane things of life, Enveloping man’s noblest aims, Releasing souls from mortal strife. There is a plane ‘encompassing All truth, and purity, and. light, Where those who seek evolvement are Tluminated with an inner sight. " Love, first, must be the power ‘enthroned, Supplanting avarice and pride, : . And those who bow Defore love's binding : force Will find the gates of heaven open ‘wide. _ Margaret Obedkoff sents the prime minister's reaction to re- cent charges of bribery and coercion in high places. This reaction is an unhappy, reflec-: tion an the. cabinet. It suggests one of two things: Either Mr. Pearson considers his colleagues" utterly Naive abont ethical and moral dard: of the crown, or he spalieves, they are ae ware of such les but are prep: to ignore them: under the pressure of cir- cumstances. This choice throws a grave shadow on the qualifications of the whole ‘Pear- son cabinet.

The. judgment ‘and capacity, of the eabinet has long’ been questioned. . Now the prime. minister himself ‘has’ seen fit: to. raise public doubts about its’ compre- ;hension of ethics and morali .
