‘ CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Dec. 8; 1964 ~ CASTLEGAR NEWS “Here let the press the people's rights by gain” unawed by Established in Nineteen Huiidred and rae $6.50 Tunics Don’t The following news ‘story speaks for itself and doesn’t require any editorial comment. The foolishness of the situation is readily apparent: Ottawa (CP) — The RCAF in recent weeks turned over 12,000 winter tunics to Crown Assets Disposal Corporation when it found it-had ordered more than it needed, Harold Winch (NDP—Vancou- ver East) said Thursday in the Commons defence committee. Mr. Winch, a member of the Com-— Passing Corners It is an andisoueyle fact that peat are more at than there ever used to be at “corners” nor have intersections, and cutoffs, the personality that. corners used to have. Corners used to be places. to stop. Children went to school there. There was likely to be. a. church. At the country store you could mail a letter, buy some sugar and, better still, catch upon all the news. Corners . had names. Nowadays it is difficult to, describe ;to ,a visitor where to turn to get to the summer cottage. If the traveller on a super-highway puts on the brakes, it is likely only be- cause the driver ahead has failed to signal a turn. Hé comes to'a seréeching stop and then speeds on his way. To nowhere. — The Printed Word Move for 17 Cents mons public accounts sub-committee which has been investigating the corpora- tion’s operations at secret meetings, said the RCAF, paid $6.50 to the T. Eaton Company for each tunic. The highest bid received by Crown Assets for the tunics was 17 cents each, later withdrawn as too high. Mr. Winch said it hag also been - found that the army now has enough table len for officers’ messes to last it 35 years. He also said Crown Assets received. a bid of $75 for $900,000 worth of spare parts declared surplus’ when the two RC- AF Comet jet transport pldnes were taken out of service last year. The public accounts committee itself earlier heard evidence that $33,000,000 worth of surplus defence equipment ‘had ‘been sold for $786,000. Mr. Winch asked whether the de- fence production | department has any « con- trol over requisitions for equip by the armed forces. . Gordon Hunter, deputy minister of defence production, said his department can question but, not challenge requisi- tions.. However,, there was “pretty good screening” of requirements by. the de- partments and by treasury board, a com- mittee of the cabinet. Mr. -Hunter conceded that over-re- quisitioning had béen a “problem” in past years. He said. he couldn't éxplain the extra 12,000 tunics. Davie Fulton Belongs in Parliaiient As we watch the local Tories solemn- ly pacing the intricate but familiar steps of the political gavotte, it becomes appar- ent that Davie Fulton will soon return to the federal field he graced so long. The Jeaks, to the press, the resolutions, the denials are all of’a pattern; they form the ritual of..a political shift... Mr. Fulton’s re-emergence upon the national. scene will be welcomed by all Canadians. He has proven himself an ex- cellent member of Parliament and a first- rate cabinet minister. The nation can always use members in the House with-his qualifications of in- telligence and ability, regardless of party. We can always. rest, happier knowing that able: ministers are sitting in wait when the time. comes to change government. He be- Jonge. in- Ottawa. Obviously the question of the party leadership caiinot .be dissoc- jated from Mr. Fulton’s plans. But it is not, we think, an immediate. question. , With the present government in a minority . position, its leadership often hesitant and at times inept,. there can be no assurance it will last out its term. It would be risky indeed to oust, Mr, Diefen- baker now, the man who stills holds the Prairies in his pocket, The old -warrior almost certainly has another election: a- head of him. Mr. Fulton, by making his. move. now, will be along to help fight that. battle, whenever it should.come..And he will also be.on hand when the serious manoeuvring hegins to find a.successor for Dief the Chief. The khowledge, that a man of his character is in the running: is reassuring. | — Vancouver Times Canada Isn't Proud of Being Dirty It’s startling to learn that Canadians will probably never be banned in Boston. We're too clean; that’s why. According to a- British MP, Charles Doughty, hygiene in this: country is “carried out to an un- necessary strict degree.” There’s no doubt that Mr. Doughty thinks he’s right about our cleanliness. Everything. from. the loaf of bread to the cob of corn is wrapped. Most of us have more than one bath night a week. We have atleast 99 varieties. Of soap from which to choose a.cake for our usually lily-white hands, and. it’s. curtains if after ta shower we don’t treat our ‘shining bod- ies to one of 4 large assortment of deo- dorants. .__. In_ addition, Canada has no Henry Millers“ or Terry Southerns to shudder over. All Canadian writers — with the exception of one poet —- are famous for their ultra clean, ultra smooth slick pro- fessionalism. There isn’t a controversial or dirty one in the lot. Except for that one poet, of course. ,. What ‘an image to have! Clean, as the Artic. snows. Spotless homes, peaches-and- cream it food all wrapped and germ-free, and shelves filled with deodor- ants.

Mr. Bon: ner says they are confusing the issue by preaching form rather than recognizing ey substance. ing in a.time when. feclings: about form have been allowed to.cloud the substance of. many. issues facing .the na- tion. i The flag debate.is.a case in point. ‘Mr, Bonner has touched on it in several recent speeches. He’s': made ‘it ‘plain ..that he’ considers , the :arguments over the:need for a‘ distinctive Canadian flag are’ confusing form with substance As a matter of form, he says, it. would be nice for Ca- nada to have. its own flag. :: But “as ‘a’ matter. of. sub- - stance,'-Canada as a,, nation and Canadians. as such are recognized well by the rest of the world and they need wave no flag to identify themselves. “No Canadian abroad ever wince, too.

The women of British Col- umbia have never been dull, Long before it was fit and pro- perfor a: women to talk out Joud in public, or demand this or,that, the women. of British Columbia were screaming that they were sick and tired and fed up with the way they were dominated by males. Why, they actually want- ed to have their own bank accounts; they wanted to work outside the house if they ‘so chose; they were so bold as to say it was not right that a husband could sell his house, walk off, leaving his wife and children abandoned in the streets.
