CASTL! GAR NEWS, CASTLEGAR; BC THURSDAY, AUGUST’ 1, 1957 WON'T SUCCEED IN FORCING P.C.’s LEFT C.C.F. Leader M. J. Coldwell, it seems, is still suffering from delusions of grandeur because of the yD US " + Ar) ‘Prepared by the Research Statt of ENCYCLOPEDIA, CAMADIANA .WHO FIRST BROUGHT RADIUM TO CANADA? The first radium was brought to Canada by William Henry supposed influence of-his party in holding the bal of power in the House of Commons. As self-appointed keeper of the publics conscience, Mr. Coldwell sees it as his party's mission “to force the Conservative Government to keep its promises.’ It is high time Mr, Coldwell was reminded thot it was not the CCF party that won the election on June 10. Nor was it to the CCF party ¢ that fell the task of ing the official Opposi: a handful of leftists led by Mr. Coldwell happen to have been elected'to the House of Commons does not mean that important national issues are to be dealt with accord- ding to socialist whims and eccentricities. Neither Prime Minister Diefenbaker nor Opposi- tion Leader St. Laurent would consent to their respec: tive parties being held hostage to socialism. Nor is the CCF party likely to gain in stature from Mr. Cold- well’s cynical and sanctimonious attitude. © Not without significance is the fact that Mr. Coldwell has chosen once again to put his party on record as favoring a capital gains tax on profits re- sulting from investment in Canada’s economic de- ' velopment. in short, Mr. Coldwell would like to tax progress itself, and hamper the economic forces that make for prosperity and expansion. Strangely at variance with the attitude towards private enterprise set forth in the Winnipeg Declara- tion of the CCF Party at its annual convention in 1956, is Mr. Coldwell’s talk of a capital gains tax. The pro- posal is one that will get no support in the Commons from either Progressive Conservatives or Liberals. For both major parties will recognize the proposal as a de- vice designed to hamper and discourage trift and ini- titive, in the expectation that if the economy falters, socialsm will step into the breach, —The Letter-Review Aikins, a who ‘elpal aims of this organizations ~which was founded at Toronto war "1S THE ARCHITECT- UnaLy CONSERVANCY : IN ONTARIO?

Numerous pilgrims come every year to the village of Annaville, Quebec, which has one of the largest collections in North Amer- ica of holy relics from Italy and the Holy Land. The village re- ceived its name from the fact that its first parish priest brought back from Rome a relic of Saint Anne. WHO WAS SIMON DAWSON? Simon Dawson was.a civil engineer who came to Canada as a young man from Scotland. He explored the country between Lake Superior and the Saskat- chewan River for the Canadian Government, and his reporit, published: in 1859, was one of the to point out the “WHO PAYS THE PIPER? Maclean’s Magazine has done a real service in bringing to ‘light one of the little publicised sections of the Fowler Commission report on the radio and TV industry in Canada. In 1955, it reports, returns made to the Com- migsion show that 100 radio stations spent an average of only $18,000 each on talent and that o dozen pri- firs possitilite of settlement in the northwest. In 1868 he. opened communi- eations with the Red River coun- try by what became known as the Dawson Route, and in 1870 he superintended transport over this route of the troops compris- ing the Red River expedition. Which is stronger the elemental drive of hunger or the elemental drive of love? A devotee of the comic strip ‘Blondie’ would probably be certain that. Dag- wood’s love for Blondie’s stew was greater than that of Blondie herself. On the other hand a reader of Stenven Vincent Benet’s story ‘Elementals’, in which two lovers agree to be starved for seven days, after which time when they are faint with hunger, a single slice of bread is placed between them. In spite of the blurring, aching hunger, each denies himself and seeks to feed the other — a triumph of love over hunger. But these are fictional instances. | know of a true instance in which gratitude through love was stronger than hunger. It was on Christmas ‘of 1943 in the Italian city of Ortona, Ortona is located on the Adfiatic coast and bestrides the rail and road route north to Pescara and east to Rome, and with the obvious view to checking the allied advance up the Adriatic, a brigade of German Paratroopers had forti- fied the city and were’ prepared to hold it to the fast man. Two Canadian Battalions supported by tanks were thrown in to grant them their wish. Every house be- came a miniature fortress and every window a machinegun-post to be taken and retaken only with the bitterest hand-to-hand fighting. Every street, swept. by snipers, mortar fire and artillery was a lit- eral “Valley of the Shadow of Death”. © Yet, in spite of the terror, death and destruction on all sides by day and by night, some Italian famities comprised mostly of women and children, still clung . to the city, prefering the known terrors of war about their own homes to the unknown terrors of war in the shattered countryside... And there they stayed cower- vote TV stations made a similar low ir at. Yet Canadian private radio stations in 1955 had on average profit. says MacLean’s, of 20 per cent of sales volume and two enjoyed a profit of over 50 per cent. The average profit of nine private TV sta- tions was 14 per cent of sales and one private TV sta- tion netted. 48 per cent. In decided contrast, the weekly newspaper counts | itself lucky if it can net seven per cent on sales before taxes and the norm is a lot lower than that. Moreover the average paper serving a town of over 8,000 people spends a fot more than $18,000 per year.on Canadian eeportorial, editorial and photographic talent. Indeed most publishers will view these radio and TV profits with some amazement and no small envy. If this radio and TV industry requires tens of mill- ions of dollars of federal tax subsidy to keep it in bus- iness, if free network programming just must be sup- plied to privafe stations, what then should be the tax subsidy to Canada’s press? ls it Rot perhaps just about time that Canadian publishers, large or small, got the facts across to the public? Canadian to be forced to reach into their pockets each year ta the extent of millions of tax dollars to ensure to ‘private radio and TV stations, through subsidized network shows, profits, two, three, or four times as Jarge_as those earned by our unsubsidized, more Canadian-talent-concious press? The Canadian Weekly Editor What justification is there for Mr. and Mrs, Joe eS SLT > "IN SANDWICHES” - ing through the tong days and nights in cellars ond in the sanctuary of ‘the largest church. A It was a smal! boy from one of these latter groups who precipitated the little conflict between hunger and love about which | wish to write. In the church a Christmas service was in progress while just opposite, . across the street, a group of Canadians were involved in @ vicious grenade and machine gun battle with a German ‘section ‘further away. Every suggestion of movement brought an answering, snarling hail of fire, every shift of shadow, a croshing grenade. Suddenly ~ from the church and into particular ‘Valley’ there darted the small boy, halfway across he stopped, too terrified to move in either direction.to safety. In the space of a heart-beat of consternated silence in which this took place, a young Canadian lieutenant with al- most reflex spontonaety of war, and still holding his “‘tommy-gun’ in one hand, took three great leaps to- ward-the terror-stricken child, grabbed him firmly by the collar and without breaking his stride dashed up the steps of the church and through the door to safety, as a hoil of bullets cracked and screeched behind him. Once inside he thrust the child into the arms of his almost hysterical mother and brushing aside the chorous of “grazia, grazia” (thankyou, thankyou), with a mutizred embarrassed “prego” (Its nothing), he thrust his way through the throngs of well-wishers and rejoined his men by another route, to continue the interrupted business. _ Eventually the Paratroopers were driven out of the ‘city, taking with them not only their dead and wounded, but all the available food for miles around, and the pursuing army had little to give civilians so close to the front. The survivors therefore, other than for a couple of nursing mothers and the children, with whom the occupying troops shared. their rations, soon began to feel the bite of hunger.” When almost a week had passed, the lieutenant: who had survived the battle and was with the occupa- tion troops in the city, received several Italian visitors. "Food?" He was serry but—” “No, no, not food. He was to. come.” “Trouble?” “No, no trouble. Just please to come”. So he came, led by his guides over the once deadly pites of rubble and through the scarred and empty streets until they came to a house with a wall- ed garden on the edge of the town. Someone was play- * ing an accordian and there was a ‘sound of much talk and laughter. He was -ushered through the de doorway. with ceremony to be met by a considerable group of people led by a woman whom he now remem bered vaguely as the mother of the lost boy, Crying a welcome in Italian she embraced him and kissed him en both cheeks, whereupon to his mounting embarass- ment and confusion he was variously shaken hands with, embraced, patted on the back with all the happy hubub of south Italy, while being propelled at the same’ time toward: the centre of the garden. Here a table, covered with a white tablecloth, decorated with fresh | flowers and*laden with bottles of wine, small-dishes of meat, salad, sausage, cakes, fruit and-a huge plat- ter of Italian spogetti was set—with one Place, In a minute they had him seated. In seconds his plate was filled, heaped with meat, spagetti and salad and his glass filled to brimming, and he was urged to eat. By word and gesture he invited them to sit and join him—in vain. “A glass of wine—of course. To drink his, health.” The food? An eloquence of voice, gesture ‘and expression emphasized that it was all for him. Was he not a hero?
