4 CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thuraday, February. 5, 1976 Lettor to the Editor - Age — What Dear Sir: Amazing situation: The RCMP. calls for 18- to 24- year-olds to enforce our laws, The Air Force calls for 18- to 24-year-olds to fly our $3 million planes in defence of our coun- try. The army calls for 18- to 24-year-olds to run our sophis- ticated equipment. Yet Bennett and McGeer do not feel that we are old enough to drive an ordinary car on the road because some drivers in this age group refuse Letter to the Editor to be a little more responsible, I thought this is what we had laws for, I realize statistics place me ina high accident rate group but my record is clean and I wonder why I should have to subsidize the irresponsible few. My wages appear to be restricted by the federal anti- inflation board and yet my insurance is to increase by at least 200 per cent. Ken Oglow Blueberry Creek Low Pay for Sub-Post Offices Dear Sir: There have been 2 number of inquiries from people resi- dent in that section of Castle- gar, formerly known as Kin- naird, who have requested the establishment of a sub-post office in the Kinnaird area. In the first instance, no volunteers have come forward in spite of some referrals; in the second instance, figures recent- ly released to me by the Postmaster-General indicate that the operation of a sub-post. office is indeed, far from rewarding. ~ For example, the person who last operated the sub-post, office in East Trail. earned approximately $271 per month or about $9,256 per year. If one takes into account the fact that very often sub-post offices’ premises must be rented or leased and the utilities must be paid for, it is quite apparent that anyone operating a sub- post office with this small amount of return, is doing so out of a sense of public dedication rather than any monetary reward. Frankly, the problem of or oy PYR sub-post offices will not be resolved unti! the Postmaster- General's department accords a higher rate of return. risco, M.P. Kootenay West Random GOME random observa- tions this week on a variety of topics, none of them world-shaking. If you are short of either time or patience, turn to the classi- fied ads for some real enter- tainment. For about 10 days over the holidays I had my grandson. Orrather, hehad me. At his beck and call. For about 12 hours a day, He’s at that very interesting stage where he's learning to talk, fast. You know, putting phrases together, repeating every- thing he hears, understand- ing most of what you say, but. not yet quite ready to carry on a conversation, ‘Two phrases, however, he has down pat, The first is: “Come on!” delivered in a peremptory tone and ac- companied by a firm grasp of a chubby fist on my index «finger. This comes im- mediately after I have settled down with my paper and a beer and lighted a cigarette. It means he wants assistance in building a getting his glass ‘of “dooce” (anything from milk -to ‘orange juice) or’: + letting the “ky-cat" in for another session of torture. What it really means, of course, is that he has a distinct aversion to Grandad retiring from the action. The second phrase, de- livered in, piteous tone, is “Help me” accompanied by a forlorn look and a tug at any Portion of my anatomy avail- able, This means he wants me to plug in the tree lights, or hold him up so he can watch the record twirling on WESTWOOD Please Contact:- EDWIN Component Package Homes {Pre-Fab), Modular e and Custom Homes, fs ALL UNITS HAVE ENGINEERED TRUSSES Box 43, Nelson, B.C. — Phone 352-3782 54 HOMES WAY PERSSON Your Friendly Gul) Service Station wy People 1 PICKED bea FEW IDEAS N CUBA...

Put the entire 18 or 38 or whatever of them on a track at the summer Olympics, send them off, and the last man to fall flat on his face becomes their leader. It would make just as much sense as choosing them by ballot, which is also a process of finding the sy or gal with the best wind. Personally, Ya like to see Flora MacDonald have a shot Glencoe, but if 60 per cent of the voters are women, it would give them a chance to stand up and be counted. And I think it would terrify Pierre T. One guy I would hate to see win the leadership would be PaulHellyer. Ifhe wonit, the Tories could kiss their hopes goodbye for another decade. Here's his record. Liberal cabinet minister; ran for Liberal leadership, lost, sulked, resigned as minister; formed his own rightist Action Canada party, a total flop; joined Conservative party; undistinguished Tory MP; lost his seat in 1974, If the Tories chose him as leader, it would illustrate nothing more than their un- quenchable belief in the infallible powers of snake oil as a remedy. Still on polities, I was sorry to see Dave Barrett lose in B,C. He has one of those qualities so carefully hidden by most politicians — a sense of humor, Maybe he went too far too fast, but he added a lot of zest to the national political scene. And speaking of the Olympics, I learn without ~ horror and, sadly, without surprise, that the Quebec government has diverted some 400 million dollars from the James Bay project to bail out the 1976 Olympics. How does that grab you? And that’s only a drop in the big bucket with the bigger hole in the bottom. wow on SOMETHING that rather shook me was the wide- spread hatred of teachers that emerged when Toronto high schoo! teachers went on strike. I don't think the word is loo strong. At a time when doctors were noisily demanding More money, teachers were accused, virulently, violent- ly, and viciously, of being “unprofessional” in going on strike. The strike was per- fectly legal, yet the teachers were called everything but child-molesters. __ Letters.to the. editor ran ~~ ‘about 90 per cent against “¥ teachers. Columnists and editorial writers made no attempt to be objective, and used warped figures, arrant sentimentality, personal vin- dictiveness and appeals to the emotions to turn the public against teachers. Tecan understand some of it as pure resentment, I pity the mother whose entire social life is disrupted by a couple of ‘ulking teenagers hanging around the house when they should be in school. But I can't quite under- stand the sheer, naked hatred that emerged. I went Uhrough school, and I didn't then, and don’t now, hate any of my teachers, I felt sorry for some of them. We could make Miss Graydon, our French teach- er, cry at the drop of a chapeau, Poor Dr, Wheatly, with a Ph.D, in science, couldn't keep order. But I admired some of them, like Old Flem, with whom I still communicate, and who has challenged me to a ski cross- country race. And I almost loved some. Old Mary Walker, who used to strap me three times a week, Laura Walker, .my _ first- grade teacher, gentle. kind, bright. Katie Johnston, who instilled in me a love of literature, Not a sadist or a bully or a sneak among the lot of them. Strange, that hatred, Local Legion fo Donafe $50 Towards Scholarship Program Mrs. Mae Dinner was appointed honorary president - of the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 170 at their first meeting of the year held Jan. 26 in the Legion Hall, A special welcome was also extended at the meeting to Mrs. Margaret Gaede of the Calgary L.A. who is visiting in the district.

Canadian Paper Date Noy. 12, 1914 Found In England City alderman*Allen Sel- ble, who will be holidaying in Great Britain and Europe later this year, has had the following news clipping sent to him from overseas: A copy of the Canadian newspaper, “The Planet," dated Chatham, Ontario, Thursday, Nov, 12, 1914, has been discovered by electricians working in the basement of the home of Councillor Alexander Christie, 68 Cameron Street, Btonehaven, Councillor Christie, who is a Stonehaven Town Council member and also on the new Kincardine and Deeside Dis- trict Council, said that the find was very interesting indeed. ‘The house was built in 1909 and he and his family had lived there since 1946, Although yellowing, the newspaper is in good condition and carries much news about. the first world war, including pronouncements that the war would end in a year's time. The paper alsc deals with motorists, particularly speeding. A re- sident is reported to have seen 8 car “hitting the trail” at 50 miles per hour, and says: “The cars travel so fast in fact that it’s hard to see them at all.” Ald. Selbie says he will have the opportunity of seeing this interesting find while visite ing relatives and is looking forward to seeing just how Canadian life was 62 years ago through the accounts of this newspaper.
