THE WHIRLING DERVISH

The most intriguing editorial from
another newspaper to arrive in our news-
room recently was the Vancouver Prov-
ince’s delightfully naive explanation of
why it now is agin Premier Bennett. —

eee readers will recall that

of
Social Credit during the 1980° provincial
general election campaign, and how dur-
ing the enuing 11 months it resembled
a publicity release for Mr. Bennett, Mr.
Gore, Mr. Mainwaring, et al.

Recently the newspaper explained its
.sudden and recent reversal of ‘policy un-
der‘ the headline “Principles Béfore Par-
ties.” Other suitable headlines might
have been: “Our disenchantment” or per-
haps “Where do we go from here?”

The Provine claims it supported Ben-
nett when he supported free ise

‘vative) might have split the popular vote
so much that the left-wing CCF would
have won power. “We felt a Socialist
‘victory would have been a calamity for
this growing province.”

The interesting feature to the “new”

Province is which party will it support]peo;

next time?” ;

“We have backed Conservatives, Lib-
erals and Socreds when the men in com-
mand of those parties have stood for the
things we believe in,” says the editorial.

None of the other three parties has
indicated any change in policy, nor is
likely to do so.. Therefore The. Province
didn’t see fit to support them’ at
the last election, and since the “vote
split” argument will be no different next
time aroynd; it seems safe to assume

— which it now says he doesn’t although
he is emphatic that he still does.

ft also says if it hadn’t supported
Social Credit the so-called free enter-
prise parties (Socred, Liberal and Conser-

that spaper will sit on the fence when
Premier Bennett calls another election.

Or does it intend to remain quite
that true ‘to it “principles?” —Prince

me the Coalition of
$3 Liberals and Con-

je, witha loud crash, have the
two old parties ‘been of much im-
portance In BAC., provincially any:
way,

The October election of 104
gave only 8 minimum of legislative
seats to the T. D, Pattullo Liberals,
not enough to form a safe govern-
ment, It was the same with the
R, L, Maitland Conservatives, the
Harold Winch OCF’era.

In a desperate effort to keep
the COF down; Liberals and Con-
servatives got together, after the
Liberals had ousted their chief, Pre-
miler Pattullo, who then went it
alone, for four years, as the only
Liberal in the House, constantly up
and down asking embarrassing
questions, and making sarcastic re-
marks about old political enemies
‘being together in a lumpy bed.

‘The members of St. Alban’s

work and tea on Saturday in the
Parish Hall. The guests were wel-
comed on arrival by Mrs. J. Too-
good and Mrs, R, Donnan. The
Rev. C. Day offered a short prayer
and declared the sale open.

‘The hall and tables were beau-
tifully decorated in the Christmas
theme. The serving table was co-
vered with a pale green cloth with

Porary marrlage of convenience,
which, in due course, ended on the
rocks of divorce.

For his sentiments about a L Co-
alition Party, Mr, Bennett was
severely

ded by those in authority. ‘This re.
sistance stiffened him; if he could,
n't have a Coalition party, he no

©} doubt made up his mind, then and

there, that he'd sooner or later
have some other kind of party that,
he hoped, would eventually rid the
province of Liberals and Conserva-
tives. After stormy years this came
about. For nearly a decade now, Li-
ears have had dut a small voice in
ure, Conservatives no
Rie at all.

have been the course of events if
Mr, Bennett had won Yale seat in
the House of Commons. In 148 he
resigned his seat in the B.C, Legis-
lature, ran for Ottawa, was soundly
beaten. At that point Mr. Bennett
had nothing, and there were those
who sald, and hoped, that he was
finished,

If he had won Yale, would he
have become national Conzervative
leader, would he today be the Con-
servative Prime Minister of Can-
ada?

‘The ‘individual tea tables were
each centered with a small arrange-
ment of Christmas ornaments ar-
ranged in styrafoam.

The hall was decorated with
cedar boughs and pine cones, These
were arranged by Mrs. R. Jones.
Presiding at the tea and coffee urns
during the afternoon were Mrs. R.
T. Waldie, Mrs. R. Maddocks, Mrs.
A, O. McNeil and Mrs, K. Bates.

‘The well-laden tables were all
beautiful with their Christmas .co-
lors and the bake table was soon
cleared away with the many Christ-
mas goodies. i
