To say that an spon, Pine Street ‘would not benefit the whole | P town, gives evi is and lacks a central street olor its businesses io expand onto. The lack of such a street has caused four separate business centres in the village, — in the downtown section of Pine Street, on Columbia Avenue at the South end of the village, on Columbia towards the ferry and {> along Maple Street — to begin te. evolve.

Being central, and not on the main highway, Pine is the logical choice for Castlegar business street, Its It that cost continues to. rise without any opening would make a town out of what is in the a collection of scattered stores. - Shere is no doubt the street opening would greatly benefit present merchants in the'Pine Strect - Columbia Avenue vicinity since it would eventually put them on the town’s main street. Keep- ing in mind the fact that Pine Street opened, would benefit the whole community, it is not unfair that it should also benefit these firms which are the oldest in Castlegar and which have contributed much to the village’s p' position the service they have provided.

No one can look ahead and say this any one group or class of Canadians, but is in fact becoming generalized as a way of life. Even the schools, at tinies, instead of resisting and correct- ing this attitude, almost seem to reflect and confirm it. Pleas for less homework, shorter hours evil to provide the wherewithal to enjoy free time. Apart altogether from the econ- mic and sobering to sealing that there are those who regard the hours of labor as so much lost time.

But, it wasn’t true of the present. In the first four months of this very same year, with the impact of the trade mission’s activities still very much in mind, Canada sold $64 mil- lion worth of goods to Latin America. The year before we had sold $105 million, The prophecy of increased trade was made by a very expert in- vestigator who had the prestige and power to make his wishes seem very appealing. But the expected results did not follow. Yet leaders of some Canadian labor unions are still convinced that industry can do what a gov trade mission couldn't d unfailing results. For only when results are unfailing, only when markets for Canadian pee are unfailing, could there be any possibility of to be ed rather than shunned. Molly- coddling at home and in the school does not help to temper the steel of character. Dr, Sidney Smith, in his an- nual report as President of the University of Toronto, made the point that “real education can be a great adventure but it is a tough one—mountain climbing not sleigh riding.” Contrast this with the statement made by Professor Hilda Neatby of the to conserve and prt the will to work. The benefits of such a philosophy will accrue to all who profess it ant not to just a favored few. B.G.
