CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, July 5, 1973 CASTLEGAR NEWS Here Let the People’s Rights Maintain, Unawed by Influence or Gain - Where's NDP Action jome months ago—on February 22nd—we cayried a column by our then Victoria coprespondent, Lloyd Mackey, reporting that Rojsland-’ Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy had an- nqunced that half the money necessary to coynplete the Kinnaird-Salmo Highway was ingluded in this year's highways department bydget. : A week later, under the editorial heading innaird: Salmo Go-Ahead is Great News”, we apologized to Mr. D'Arcy for not having given My Mackey’s interview with him “significant prominence” on this newspaper's front page betause of the importance of the MLA’s announcement, on Kinnaird-Salmo? Now we're into the middle of the summer vond-building season and the only work underway on the highway is the $1,693,412 contract awarded by the former Social Credit * government. At the time he made his announcement, Mr, D'Arcy quipped that the Kinnaird-Salmo Highway “should have been 12 lanes by now" if all that he. claimed Education Minister Don Brothers had promised had gone ahead. With action by the NDP government obvious only by its absence, it would appear that highway should now be 18 lanes wide! The RCMP are World's Finest Police Force When you sec the mounties dressed in their seprlet tunics to commemorate the founding of Canada 's national police force 100 years ago, you shuld pause for a moment and consider what Royal Canadian Mounted Police meancto va your community, and the nation as a whole. +: It takes us back a few years to when we were kids in Killarney. Every lad wanted to be a mountie when he grew up, but they really didn’t know why. Maybe it was the uniform, but not likely. In those days the mountie was somebody very special in the community. He was like the sctiool teacher and the preacher—people that were just sort of special. i It was seldom we got to see our mountie, and when we did it was usually from a block away—suspicious as heck that he knew we were playing hookie and was after our hides. When welwere cl the busy ft sidewalks with our very presence and he said ", we got. S Y How times have changed, mostly for the better. People today are not afraid of the policeman—not that they ever had to be—and it hag been the mountie himself who has bridged the gap between himself and everybody else. Like always, he represents authority and his uniform demands respect. Uniform and authority, however, do not make the man. iy Like everything over the past few years, the RCMP has undergone vast changes to cope with problems and situations in‘a socicty that is growing more complex and confusing by the day. You talk to veteran policemen and ex-policemen and they will tell you the changes are welcome. One thing is for certain. The RCMP is about the only or which, singl ly, is preserving that precious word, in Canada— ~"unity". A rookie constable in Moncton takes home the same pay cheque as the rookie in Powell River. Their uniforms are identical, they type reports the same, and even use identical stationery. The RCMP is consistently uniform in every aspect from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Proof that the ROMP is helping to solidly cement Canadian unity came to light in recent months when some politician in Ottawa decided that the name “Roya! Canadian Mounted Police" should be shortened to “Police”. The very thought of it prompted a public outery from coast to coast and the politician then denied the suggestion was ever made. To the disgruntled, the - mounties’ are referred to as “pigs”; to some they, are referred toas the “fuzz”; to many they are “cops”; but to most of us, they : are “policemen” who make up the finest force in the world. We hope it stays that way.—Revelstoke Herald.

Sutherland's open letter to the various. government officials appearing in your June 14th edition: It appears that Mr. W. Sutherland is lacking the sense of judgment by throwing apples and tomatoes into the same bag. I am referring to his misconceived idea of hippies opposing the powerline, 1 would like to see Mr. Sutherland's or any of the 38 people's reaction if the power- line would biseet their choice property, ruining their forest, and would threaten their water supply with chemical sprays. It is easy to make such an unwarranted statement if one lives eight miles north of the * area affected by the 500KV lines, It is one consolation that Mr. Sutherland and his 38 followers represent only a small fraction of the valley's popula- tion. It is not my intention to” challenge the validity of his generalization of the situation in the valley as I do not condone myself many of their, in our eyes, “shocking” behavior pat- terns either, but let's be more realistic and think for a: any of the “ regu ba rented savyeatfon ma “the’vall t atl the rather shal who need to be kept in their the peuple who pay men could ‘ink and practise but teachers mple to the community. They mustn't gamble. drink, smoke of stay out late. They could own a’car, but it should be second-hand and acertain vintage. They could go to church and sing in the choir, but they couldn't go to the tavern and sing in the bar. That's all changing, of course, and teache actually being.rega people, with feeling: faults But the -old, the | politicians s one another, “Let's mi them the goats.” And so they “But perhaps the politi- cians are not going to be able » easily over their — the doctors. ssion, Now, everyone who isn't blind and deaf knows that a doctor today. unless: he bumbling idiot. enjoys a fat income. What's wrong with that? Just because you and fdida't have enough brains and guts to. slug aw ut medical school is no reason to envy those who do, involved © in in our business world and in the political arena, to qualify for a position it often doesn't matter what you know but who you know. | Of course, one thing leads to another, and thus it became inevitable that with all the underhanded aclion we got a reaction, called the hippie- movement, and we got it, right in-between our eyes too, Our permissive , society created them when we started to pursue false idols. We gave up religion; although we may goto church to impress our neighbors but we do not live anymore by true , religious beliefs. We threw out discipline from the schools, we wouldn't let anybody touch or admonish our innocent little darlings even if we haven't got the time to do it ,or simply wouldn't do it—why to interfere, let them fight their own battles, let them be independent! Let them wear what and how they want, short dress, long hair, it's their life, and so we lowered the moral code. Millions were (and -are being) made openly. and legally by international sex, nudy- magazines. even’ before the hippies arrived on the scene. We -became corrupted by the influence for our children, but we must admit they did achieve one thing. Whether we like it or not, they helped us to point out the “rot” in our present society. Now it is up to us to learn and corect our past mistakes. It is no use to deny it, we are just fooling ourselves and trying to cover it up by using force will _ just strengthen the opposition and result in more desperate force, Remember how the Roman Empire crumbled; how the French and Russian Revolution changed the world. Let's show them goodwill instead of hate. Let's communi- cate and show them the right direction and try to convince them that happy co-existence is based on mutual respect and dignity which is our birth-right. I agree with the idea to channel government funds (our tax money) in a more super- vised form by the — local authorities for local incentive projects instead of giving it out to individuals. A child is fed three times a day by his mother instead of receiving his entire day's ration at once. But let them share equally in the responsibility of work and supervision and let them have their say—not way—in the By proposed project to be agreed in ‘the valley accidents. while driving under. the influence of alcohol that has * or may have led to the loss of innocent lives. How many of our “res- pected cilizens" were involved in senseless killing of animals not merely for food but for the excitement to satisfy their lust for blood.

As a. by-product we created the hippies. They are the product of our so-called modern-effluent society. They want to protest the way of life our fathers or ourselves are leading. Many are sincere and idealists, many are hypocrites as we are; many are just simple fakes, lazy bums, or adventurers, ‘type not unknown amidst our awn society, except maybe dressed differently. Many are misted and/or exploited by the drug trade and so-called “modern music” that requires little talent or mental effort but makes millions on the poor suckers, that unfortuna- tely often includes our own children too.- Many of them come from wealthy families and many have a rich cultural background and good education that could offer them high- paying jobs, but instead they chose to masquerade in rags, As I mentioned above, I do" not endorse their methods of finding: happiness for their limited circles at our expense the kind and. upéh on mutual consént that 5 serves a good -purpose-for. the community.** I am sure participation would be more effective than condemnation and remember, not everybody is the same as we are or would we wish him to be. I think if that would be the case, the world would be a very dull place. . As far as the grants. and projects are concerned, I don’t think I can condemn them. Naturally, if they are spoon-fed by our federal government why should |they lift their fingers, ive, make much effort, it’s just human nature. Besides, let's not forget, you brought the dilemma on yourselves when you sold them the land. because you were all happy with the prices they - offered, but now you have to live with the consequences and learn to cope with the prob- lems.
