Action is Wanted
On Ferry Solution

Traffic on the Castlegar ferry was up
9,402 cars last month over October of last
year. In September it was up 7,000 cars
over the same month in 1958.

Number of passengers carried by the
ferry last month is up 19,511 while the fer-
ry carried 13,000 more passengers in Sept-
ember, 1959 than it did in the same month
a year ago.

Highways Minister Gaglardi has ad-
vised Rossland-Trail MLA Donald Brothers
that his department is studying the alter-
natives of either an addition to the present
ferry or another one upstream or down-
stream from it.

His department is taking an awful long
time in making a decision.

Line-ups are still a common sight dur-
ing rush hours at the ferry and the situa-
tion will get worse before it gets better.
Last summer line-ups of 90 cars or more,
lasting several hours, were a common sight
as they waited to get on the 28-car ferry.

Next spring, with increased activity at
the Celgar pulp mill site and in-
creased tourism, the situation will be chao-
tic. Mr. Gaglardi had better do something

.béfore then — fast.

Principles Should

Roy Thomson, Canadian millionaire
controller of newspaper groups on both
sides of the Atlantic, said there should be
more papers in Britain backing the Labor
party.

view that he would swing some of his pap-

Storm Signals For CLC
In Civil Servants Walkout

The decision of Alberta civil servants to quit the | :

Canadian Labor Congress will be privately applauded ac-
ross Canada by thousands of sincere trade unionists.
Not because they want to see organized labor weak-

ened. Not because they’ve deserted labor's “Solidarity +4

Forever” creed. Just the opposite.

They'll laud b Alberta gov it work-
ers have dramatized the choice facing all CLC members
who can’t or won't accept the CLC’s headlong plunge in-
to bed with the CCF.

And because the choice made in Calgary can be an
emphatic reminder to CLC leaders.
time to reconsider. 7

CLC political action doesn’t worry only civil servant
organizations. There are members in every CLC union

that there’s still q

who are violently opposed to their organized strength be-

ing placed—in name at least—behind the CCF. -

They object to any part of their union dues. being ‘

into one political party’s campaign funds.

TEMELESS TOPICS

“You can’t be certain — you can be ready” were

representation. I think Conservatives
should appreciate that viewpoint. I think it
is my responsibility to do that.”

We question the grounds on which Mr.
Thomson is going to change the editorial
viewpoint of his newspapers. If it were be-
cause he was convinced of the rightness of
the Labor party’s platform then we would
grant him his right to do so although we
don’t agree with that party’s policies. But
if the change is being made only to sell
more newspapers, as it appears, then Mr.
Thomson's motives are open to both ques-
tion and censure.

The. Castlegar News receives sev
eral weeklies in its office that regularly car-
ry editorials supporting the CCF. .

Those papers do so not because they
want to sell papers, but because they be-
lieve in the CCF platform. Their reasons,
and the reasons of all papers who honestly
support the political party of their choice
on grounds of principle, are much more
honorable than those enunciated by Mr.
Thomson.

A Code for TV Wanted Now;
Dishonest Advertising Carried

A member of the House of Represent-
atives subcommittee investigating rigged
television quiz shows is reported to have
“charged the television networks with ir-
responsibility for their failure to do more
than take the producers’ words for it that
the big money programs were on the up and
up.” :

Rep. Steven Derounian also is report-
ed, however, to have hopes that the TV in-
dustry will move “to put its own house in
order without the necessity of Congression-
al legislation.”

Whether the fixing of TV quiz results
is an offence against the laws of the land re-
mains to be seen. The practice in any event
is completely immoral and it.is only too typ-
ical of the downright dishonesty of Amer-
ican television.

Rep. Derounian should go on to: con-
duct a thorough investigation of American
television advertising which is calculated to
mislead and deceive, and it is high time
that he insisted that American television

equip itself with a code of advertising ethics +

similar to those obseryed by the press.
Our position_is fot to’be taken as an
intrusion into the affairs of another nation,
for the simple reason that hundreds of
thousands of young Canadians are exposed
to American television and they are entitled

The margarine advertiser has started

to say that his product ‘‘may be better for

your family than the 70 cent spread.” Such
a suggestion, directed ad infinitum to the
ning mind, is dist t in the ex-

treme.

Several cigaret advertisers use a back-
ground of lakes, surf,waterfalls, glaciers to
testify to the purity of their product, when
anybody in his right mind knows that to-
bacco smoke and fresh air never have had
and never can have anything in common.

Other? declare that cigarets with “no
filters, no fads, no fancy stuff” are vital ad-
juncts to the vigorous lives led by busy
Americans building power dams, sky-scra-
pers, sea-ways, and somehow assist in the
untangling of log jams.

One of these days, a cigaret manufac-
turer will tell the truth and say that you'll
get lung cancer if you smoke too much.

And as if this weren’t enough, Am-
erican television got out its bands last week
to hail the TV debut of Miss Ingrid Berg-
man, whose way of life up to now has been
an affront to Christian womanhood and yet

perfectly acceptable to the American adver- *

tiser with his eye on the unsuspecting pur-

One of these days, somebody will see ,

This business of misleading advertising
emanating from across the border is a fac-
tor in Canadian life with which we have ta-
ken issue before. Now the advent of the
winter viewing season has brought a new
siege of gross misrepresentation.

The new small American autos, for in-

stance, are reputed to give 50 per cent

SPECIAL FARES APPROVED

Announcement of special fares by the
railroads is warmly approved by the Cal-
gary Herald.

“It is refreshing to see the railways
striving to help themselves with what is a
very real economic problem. They cannot,
of course, offer the speed which is the main
although not the only attraction of the air-
lines, but what can offer the public a first
rate, efficient service with courtesy and
comfort the first consideration.”

e challenging yet arresting words on the corner of a
recent Civil Defence pamphlet.

World conditions as they are today cause thinking
men and women to realize we are on the verge of
something serious. The exact time when the world will
. be thrust into another war is a challenge to us to keep
in readiness.

From God's word we see there are two events that
we know of but are uncertain as to the time. It is ap-
pointed unto man once to dic and after death the judge-

Life at its longest is short in comparison to eter-
nity and we know not how long we will be permitted to
remain here. We do not know when we will be ushered
into the presence of our Creator. But we can be ready.
How? By accepting God’s means of salvation through
His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

God's word tells us of the return of Jesus Christ
for those who are looking for Him. World events and
conditions today point to the fulfiliment of scripture.

Matthew 24 and Luke 21 give us a good descrip-
tion of these advents and we are exhorted to look up.
Jesus said “Be ye therefore ready also for the Son of
man cometh in an hour that ye think not.” — Pente-
costal Tabernacle

Alberta civil servants have translated this smoulder-

ing opposition into action so drastic that CLC leaders

can’t gloss it over.

First they broke off their 31 years’ membership in
the Alberta Federation of Labor. Then, by a 90 per cent ;

vote, they pulled right out of the congress.

to overestimate its significance.

The CLC-CCF “marriage” isn't yet a fact. It has to be
confirmed by next year’s convention. Alberta civil ser-
vants’ drastic repudiation of the plan could be the signal
for like-minded unions to stand up and be counted.

Many B.C. government employees are. concerned.

But so far, they’ve accepted CLC assurances, such as this } :

statement from CLC president Claude Jodoin:

“The congress .recognizes that these unions must :

maintain a position of strict neutrality . . . (it) would take

the necessary action to relieve these unions from any pol- «

icy pertaining to political matters.”
Government workers in Alberta have breached this
