"Before he left he said he'd be in Ottawa as a Canadian first, a Bri- tish Columblan second — and he appears to have kept his word. He didn’t play politics, as far as we can sec from this distance, though he doesn't like the Diefenbaker go- vernment, is convinced it's ruining ,Canada, and that only Social Cred it can save the country. ‘The Premier is smart enough to know that the old cry “the pro- vinces first" is no longer popular in Canada. Always before him is the example of what designed .to woo the ignorant into o sense ‘of false secur: so that they'll vote B.C. Donald L, Brothers, Social Cre- ait MLA for Rossland-Trail riding, has announced that he will again ‘bo a candidate for his party's nom- {nation when District Socreds mect at 2 nominating convention at Trail Aug. 3.

Gook Says * Municipal Services Best in Castlegar Recently returned from a vaca- tion tour through 100 prairie cities and towns, Comm, V. R. Cook told Castlegar council's Iast meeting he had “failed to find a single munl- eipality which could offer mom ser- vices and conveniences per dollar than does Castlegar.” “We have better water ‘than most of the prairies,” he declared, “and better garbage disposal, too.” (sharing must observe "the constitutional rights of the pro- vinces to direct tax fields. The ex- ercise of these rights must be suf- fictent, without double taxation, and without duplication of collec- tion agencies, to provide each pro- vinca with an adequate percentage of the total taxes collected within its boundaries from these fields.” Mr, Bennett had little patience with .those who preach what he calls gloom,.doom and depression: “Let me repeat that there is no room for timidity at this time, and let me urge again that we pursue out growth to national maturity in the spirit of boldness and vision which is the legacy of the Fathers of Confederation. “This country is endowed with riches, that are the envy of all, but riches that still le largely agreed with the | panel during dis-; cussion, 1 Joe Dukowski, manager of; the Victoria Memorial Arena, said. a questionaire was submitted to all customers at an ice show ask-! ing them where they learned of i the event.
