Tourists who travel through the Kootenays to see the scenery and enjoy a leisurely trip are forced to stop for the ferry here, but while sitting in their cars they have to amuse themselves rather than enjoy the beautiful scenery. looking up the lake. And it is beautiful scenery, as anyone who has stepped out of his car, walked around the sheds and looked up the fake will admit. A The provincial government is spending thousands of dollars in the Okanagan and along new highways building viewpoints where people can stop and admire the scen-" ery. Surely they can spend a few hundred dollars in moving those sheds so that people who have to stop can enjoy one of B.C.’s most beautiful scenes. A Cash Crop A cocktail delicacy which holds promise for farmers bedevilled by surpluses is found in a newfangled fad for fried grasshoppers mow fashionable in certain large U.S. cities. Fried grasshoppers, it seems, fetch as much os $1 for a tiny carton et leading de!- icatessens. Since argriqultural experts assert that 1% tons of grasshoppers can be found to the acre, farmers who are fed up with com- pulsory marketing boards and other controls might find a little free enterprise in the grow- ing market for fried grasshoppers quite pro- fitable. With fried grasshoppers fetching $1 an ‘ounce retail, revenue per acre should be a lot better than for any other kind of crop. i —— The Letter Review - staged in this area throughout this year. tractions taking place in B.C. during 1958. One advertisement, taken from a Spo kane newspaper, informs our border cousins of the fun that can be had in this province, but no mention is made in it of the Kooten- ays or any of its cities, It would seem that a good way to draw tourists to our province's attractions is to vary advertising so that each across-the- border sections know of the nearest Canadian centres of festivities.

B. A. Resker U firmly planted in the clay. TOPICS i On behalf of the local Ministerial As- sociation | should like to tender to Mrs: A. O. McNeil and’ family the deepest sympathy of the Association in their sudden loss. The Rev. A.-O, McNeil had only been in “this District a short time but he had entered :s0 fully into the’ life of the communities of ‘Castlegar, Robson and Kinnaird, that in oa few ‘months he had endeared himself to all who knew him God hos seen fit to call him to Higher Service ‘in the wonderful Spiritual World. Mr. McNeil had given many years of his life to the service of His Master,on earth, we must not grudge him his promotion to Higher Ser- vice, J - We thank God for his life of Witness and Pray that God will comfort his loved ones, : THE SUMMER SLUMP : Summer is here with a vengence and church congregations and Sunday schools are suffering their usual slump. 1 don’t blame people for making the ‘most of our short summer to enjoy the won- -derful beauties of this country of ours. Pic- nics, fishing trips and expeditions in the car ‘are ways through which the wonders of God’s «creation can be enjoyed, 1 it necessary that interest in Spir- tual things, in God and His church should suffer_to the extent it does in summer time Our ‘Christian religion, put simply, is a constant ‘steady friendship with Jesus Christ. “Going steady” with Him some might call it. It is not a friendship only for winter months or for Christmas and Easter, lf we realize the great love of Our Saviour in coming to this world to show the greatness of the love of God, surely our res- ponse must be a contsant showing of our love and loyalty. . . This can best be done by regular worship and by the day-by-day companionship of prayer. Don't let your well-deserved and hap- py holiday time crowd Him out of your life. Many of our children and young people’ seem to think that school holidays mean a holiday from church as well as from school. Let the extra time of leisure and relax- ation we have in summer lead you to a deep- ening of that ‘friendship, let the Master share your rest and happiness. Where there is a will there is a way. ~ + Here are a few suggestions to prevent this summer slump in religion: 1. Try to.worship in your church or stop, just as you are, at some church you pass on your trip, - s 2. If this is quite impossible, have a time of worship every Sunday with the family, take a bible and prayer book with you. 3. Use the radio to keep in touch with God and His church, Over the CBC (1080) at 7.50 a.m. there is the daily five-minute “Morning Devotions” especially for busy folk, and on Wednesdays at 11.15 a.m. and on Saturdays at 10 a.m. there ore interesting Program about the work of the churchs. Don’t take a .holiday from God and church. Let Him increase the happiness of your summer by taking Him with you where- ver you go. Happy holidays to you all. - Sunday Church Services ‘ST.
