CASTLEGAR NEWS: Thursday, June 7, 1962 CA. STLEGAR NEWS dred and Forty- -Seven The Old Hometown Never Quite the Same When you leave your hometown. you never find it again. You may go back, _ but when you do you find it belongs to somebody else. It belongs to a new crop of citizens and a few oldsters who never went away. Many District residents will find this out when they “go home” on vacation ~ this year. The oldsters will tell you that the old town, like. the old. grey mare, “Ain’t what she used to be,” which proves that it is no longer theirs either. The poet spoke for all of us when he said: “The - little old town that I left one day Because it was quiet and still Has the name that it had when I went away. & And it stands on the same old hill; But the boys who are batting the ball" today And the, little girls, : fair fo see,” * ‘ Are not the children who used to play, On the commons: there with ‘me.” 6 In. a small’ town people’ fall “into - place like a pleasant landscape. Some .are the sturdy oaks, others are clinging vines, some are choice flowers, But after one goes away the landscape changes and we think there must be a. cruel gardener. Although the newer. and more cultivated landscape may be more up-to-date, it’ can never seem so fine to us. It is better to keep in one’s. mem- ory. pictures of one’s ‘hometown, which neither change nor 'time can erase, than to deplore the change which will be, in. ‘time, someone's else’s precious memory. Hecklers Have Place at Election Meetings: “Premier Bennett is disappointed ‘in his hecklers. He would like them to take a course in the art of heckling and says: “I hate to deal with amateurs!” -It is true enough that political re- partee has not got out of the kindergarten in British Columbia. The sheckler: has a role in politics, and it is not to reduce a meeting to turmoil and inaudibility. The. heckler should seek to discom- fort and pester, to take. the wind out of the sails of pomposity and deflate the pretentious. When a politician stands be- fore a crowd, he should expect to be cross-examined mercilessly in an effort to “discover the true man behind the ges- tures and the talk.
