CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, January 23, 1958 Fight World War On Moon By Lewis Milligan to an end und the world is still physically in one piece, Politic: ally it is divided into several pic- ces, two of them quite large and powerful enough to dominate the rest and to blast each other into unrecognizable bits. At the end of 1956 the old dogs of war were straining at the Teash over control of the Middie East. The British intervention at at the Suez served its purpose in breaking up the Russian- de- signed plan to link up the Egyp- tian and Syrian forces in a solid blockade of the last gateway bet- ween the East and West. That gateway was closed temporarily and the British adventure was ¢ risky one, but it will not have been in vain if it serves as a warning to Russian ambitions to dominate the Mediterrancan and North Africa, We can hope that warfare ; with “conventional” arms on a world scale is a thing of the past. But there will always be _the danger of even a local war act- ing as a trigger to an atomic war in which there would be no vic- tor and from which there would be no recovery for mankind. Thus. the powerful nations have come; to the point where they must agree to live at peace or die in! pieces. We are ali pacifists so far a3 atomic warfare is concerned. Science has written the name, ICHABOD over the portals of our armories, for the glory of war has departed. We can at least, look forward to the New Year with confidence that no nation’ will deliberately start an atomic, war. The instinct of self-preserv- ation is enough to preserve world peace. That instinct: is prompting the Soviet leader's demands for disarmament, for although they) elaim to have the balance of nu-, clear power they are as mue’! . afraid of us as we are of them. It is perhaps a favourable sign that Russian scientists are turning their attention to the ‘conquest of outer space, and we ‘can wish them a happy and suc- -eessful New Year in that direc- tion. ‘They have won the first lap in the race for the mocn with the sputniks, but American scient- ists are not giving up the con- test and we can look forward “ y well lead to a third world war; .

So I won't give you any advice on how to raise them teen-agers. But I- thought you might be interested in the ones we had about the ‘time I went to sleep last century. A hundred years ago, there was no family life in B.C., out- side of a few spots like New Westminster, Hope and Yale. This was on acount of there being no women, or hardly any women here, What few there was stayed in the settled. places, like them I mention above. But there was thousands of miners and workers roaming the rest of the Colony. In the Cariboo alone in 1863, there was a’ geod 5,000 men — Or I don’t know how good they were, but anyway, they were there — without women or any settled domestic kind of life, The United Nations might | folks know what you're doing in! “THE Member: Canadian Weekly Newspapers Assn.

Ponder- ing this statement, I somehow got the idea that perhaps ie ; bank was prejudiced — ‘perhaps the physical-state of the ‘Canadians that patronize the , Royal Bank of Canada, or any other bank for that matter, did :not-show up to their best ad- vantage. The letter that the bank sent out also stated that if people would give more atten- tion ta their health habits that their emotions would be in bet- ter shape too. It seems to me that somehow the bank have got their wires crossed, Speaking from personal experience, I have found that usually my health is in ex- cellent shape until my emotions go berserk, Again speaking from personal> experience, this only happens .when I have cause to cross the threshold of a bank.

So it was with the hang- ing of greenery, holly and cran- berry and the i learned of Pere Noel, or St Nicholas, as: a mesenger from the Christ Child. What was the origin of the! B. Christmas Card? The Christmas Card, as we know it, datés back to the year 1846, when Sir Henry Cole in England, comissioned John C. Horseley, R. A., artist, to, design a greeting card to send to friends. ‘This was the first known Christ- mas Card designed for the beds in the large dinners of such old English dishes as fowl, beef, plum pudding and mince pies, which were customs brought over by the British settlers. . From France came the Mes- se de Minuit (Midnight Mass) and the reveillon de Noel, in- cluding a large family dinner of meat pies, meat balls, fowl, suet pudding, pies and doughnuts, to the accompanyment of party games and dancing until the day- pose, have been sent in familier fash- ion prior to that date, It is re- ported that 1,000 of Sir Henry's card were printed. The pioneer of the Christmas Card business in the United States was Louis Prang, of Bos- ton, wo started. a flourishing trade. It can be considered likely that the origin of the Canadian Christmas Card dates from about the same time, somewhere around |" the year 1876. isn't that the clerks are ly cr that I don't like the colar scheme of the bank, It’s just that my emotions emote some- thing awful.

He is not a member of the Civil Ser- vice, nor a civil servant, He is not ah employee of the Government in the usual sense of that term. He is not an adjunct of the De- partment of Forests. He is not glothed with any administrative powers or duties in relation to the day-to-day functioning of the Forest Service.
