* The drains in my apartment
are plugged, and I can't get in
touch with the landlord. If f
have to call in a plumber, can
I deduct his fees from my rent
or send the bill to my land-
lord?

Answer:

No, You should apply to
the Rentalsman (care of the
Parliament Buildings) for an
‘Application for Repairs.’’ If
the landlord refuses to carry
ut the necessary repairs, the
Rentalsman can order your
rent to be paid to his office,
and he in turn will arrange to
have the repairs done.

Question: ’

I've changed may mind
about moving into an apart-
ment. Can I get my money
back?

Answer:

Probably not. The tenancy
agreement you made with the
landlord is a contract. If you
break. that contract you are
liable for any rent loss the
landlord may suffer. The one
factor in your favor is the
landlord's obligation to try to
re-rent the premises. If he
does, your loss should be
reduced.

Question:

My apartment has a swim-
ming pool which I looked
forward to using when I
rented the suite. Unfortunate-
dy I was in an accident, and
now I'm not able to use the
pool. Am I entitled to a
reduction in rent?

Answer:

No, not unless there is a
specific clause in the tenancy
agreement allowing a rent
reduction for non-use.

By'J.A. CHARTERS
Ona Time of Bare E:

Tarrys, Everyone worked

Today I went to see my
old friend Cecil Mather and
his wife, Nellie.

Cecil is a man of many
talents in shop and garden
and is possessed of an intense
curiosity about the operation
of the world about him which,
in better times than those
into which he: was born,
would have made him an out-
standing scientist,

He is, as was my mother,
a ‘Geordie’; that is to say, he
is one of those Britons who
was born in Newcastle-on-
Tyne, an ‘ancient city near
the Scottish border, whose
citizens are famous for their
sense of humor, their in-
dividuality and their ‘Geor-
‘die’ dialect’ which is part
Scots, part English and most-
ly, their own.

Cecil was raised, and
worked for a time, on one of
the great estates in New-
castle, and I had intended
talking to him about the way’
of life there, particularly
about such popular, if slightly
illegal. activities, as - the
poaching of game birds,
hares and salmon on estates.

However, we started
talking about this column and
the '40s (he and his wife came
here in '42 and I in ‘47, 80
poaching was forgotten in
favor of more immediate
matters,

“We were in the middle
of the war in °42," said Cecil,
“and women were doing
shiftwork at Cominco — $5 a
day plus bonus shares on the
metal produced. It was a
good pay for those days,”

He was right. Laborers
were getting 50 cents per
hour in most places, and
stenographers; .15 cents a
week,

The road to Trail was
not only full of sharp twists
and narrow wooden bridges,
but so narrow that . the

Transportation Society pas- _

sengers had, occasionally, to
get out to shovel sand in the

+ summer and snow in the

winter so that the buses
could pass,

Furthermore, there
were some drivers who
thought that the best way to
negotiate a narrow wooden

-bridge which was at right
angles to the road was on two
wheels,

“Nobody slept on those
buses,” said Cec, “they were
too scared.”

After the war ended, the
bombings and burnings be-

gan again the Kootenays —:

power poles and rail lines
were being blown up and
buildings burned down fairly
regularly and a miasma of
fear hung over the valley.
Roads, bridges and
schools were patrolled by
armed men. Cecil got a job
and a loaded .303 army rifle,
guarding the Castlegar El-
ementary School. Fortunate-
ly, at least to my recollection,
in spite of all this wandering
weaponry, no one was shot,
though some of the bombers

were less fortunate with

their own bombs,

When I arrived in 1947,
people living on the coast and
reading the newspapers were
convinced that I was going
into a new war zone and were
staying away from the Koot-
enays in droves. In retro-
spect, however, and disre-
garding the sporadic burning
and bombing, it is surprising
to recall how quiet and
simple things were then —
\bare essentials were not en-
tirely confined to the Sons of
Freedom. ‘

Olympics
Editor,
Castlegar News:

“To be, or not to be”
might have been a question
torturing Hamlet's brain, but

it is not the question on the ,

minds of many people today;
the question being debated
these days in many lands is:
“To go, or not to go to the
Summer Olympics.”
Feeding into a mental
computer data from all points
of view representing all con-
cerned parties, I get the
following answer: “Qualified
Go." Note that the data
comes from interested par-
ties according to my brain's

, assessment of the total situa-

tion,

The conclusion is based
on an appreciation -of the
thoughts of all. concerned
parties. The two qualifica-
tions are that the partici-
pants, the officials, and the
tourists who do‘ go wear
mourning bands and spend
the minimum amount of
money.

The large number of
mourning bands would surely
arouse the curiosity of the
USSR people. The athletes,
‘officials’ and tourists -would

‘not have to wait for ques-

tions; they could ‘quickly.

that “we are in mourning for
