But Kids Sail Through Problem

By Twin Rivers Students
The grade 7, division I
students of Twin Rivers El-
ementary School were
working busily on their vid-
eo tape project. Their aim
was a study entitled “The
Pageant of Egypt.” Several
groups were working on dif-
ferent projects such as med-
icine, everyday life, cloth-
ing, mummification, etc. A
group of students wrote a

tion.

A large crowd had gath-
ered but unfortunately they
didn’t see it all because of
technical difficulties with
the television set. While a
technician was trying to re-
pair the set, the spectators
were shown by two of the
studenis how video tape re-
cording is done.

The television was un-
able to be repaired so the
crowd assembled in the gy-
mnasium for refreshments
that the students had earlier

made. .

Even the boys baked
cookies and cakes!

Such work as Haiku
writing, ballads, art work
and the materials that were
used in making the Egypt-

Meef the NDP Candidate from Dewdney.

He Has a Familiar Social Credit Name

By Lloyd Mackey

In some elections, many
candidates are voted in on
the coat talls of their party
leader's charismatic appeal,
In others, the leaders de-
pend heavily on the person-
al strength of their candi-

dates,

And the next provincial
election, in the view of. uus
reporter, will take the lat-
ter course, It will be more
than usual, a good time for
new candidates with out-
standing political ability to
break into the public arena.

For that reason, and
with the help of a suggest-
ion planted by one of the
party leaders, who will re-
main unnamed, I decided to
do four columns over the
next two months, on new
candidates,

Those columns will be
thumbnail skeiches of peo-
ple in each of the four par-
tles. Their names will have
been suggested by their
party leaders or by people
well up in party strucwur-
es, They will, hopefully, be
examples of what kind of
people established politici-
ans are pinning their pact-
jes’ futures on.

The first is Peter Rol-
ston — excuse me, Rev. Pe-
ter Rolston — who is run-
ning in Dewdney for the

At 34, Rolston has been
minister of St. Andrew's
United Church, Mission, for
the past four years. Before
that, he covered 85 miles
of Vancouver Island's west
coast by boat for the
church. Until a year and a
half ago, Rolston had some
pretty heavy Social Credit
Ues., grandmotrer, Tilly

Rolston, was the first Soc-
red education sinister in
this province,. He himself
hud been treasurer of the
University of British Col-
umbia Socred club during

his campus years.
What brought =the
down,

change?
To boil it

Rolston indicated that as a
minister, he had seen much
that he did not like which
he said resulied trom So-
cial Credit policies in ed-
ucation and health. Like
many pastors, he sees quile

a bit of the insides of hus-:

pitals, and what he observ-
ed led him to believe that
health spending . priurities
are out of killer.
Incidentally, Rolston has
a lot of admiration for his
late grandmother, He believ-
es she was much more “pro-
gressive” than the rest of
the original Socred cabinet
ministers, and died before
she could get many of her
ideas _ucross,
Two of her strong
points are im his own per-

sonal platform — shifting’

education taxes from land
to general revenue and pro-
moting of “real” family life
education courses in the
provincial education system.
is own riding he is
running under a “Kolston
means business” slogan and
he suggested that the word-
ing may be taken literally
— he wants more business
and clean industry, care-
fully planned and properly
developed, in the riding he
hopes to represent. Such un-
socialistic language repre-
sents, he suggests, some-
thing of the broadening ap-
peal of the NDP.
He said that as a prea-
cher, he has always stress-

ed to his own congregations
that “a Christian is a poll-
tical as well as spiritual de-
cisions, He finds the fact
that only 22,000 of British
Columbia’s people (or one
per cent) are members of
any political party, to be,
real indictment,

What would happen If
Rolston took the seat away
from Mussallem?

Automatically, he would

have tv resign’ as minister
of St, Andrew's and wait to
see what his board wants to
do with it. The board, under
church law, could look for
a new minister’ or could
keep him on part time,
. He notes that sume of
the “community ministry”
he has been engaged in is
actually work that an MLA
should be carrying out. Ex-
amples include spearhead-
ing of a community services
centre and a halfway house
tor alcoholics.

I asked him, if in light
of the apparently heuvy
NDP emphasis on “people”
things, could the party be
considered as a_ realistic
group with regard to econ-
umics,

Not much problem, he
suggested, indicating he did
not think NDP would spend
much more money than the
current government — sim-
ply that it would spend with
more “people” priorities in
mind. And he believes more
taxes could be extracted
from industry without driv-
ing it away, particularly if
there is concerted e ifort
