- IS IT ASKING TOO MUCH?
-At the risk of repeating ourselves and the opin-

ions of a great many | others in and around Castlegar,
isn’t it about time we got that wig-wag signal for

the C.P.R. crossing ‘between Castlegar and Kinnaird?

it would appear that

we haye used up our allot-

ment of “luck” in that particular spot. and we are
thankful indeed,* that there-are. not: six names listed
in our obituary, column; as, but ‘for. the Grace of God,

there ‘could be. ie

: We. sigaest that each Club and Organization | in
Castlegar and District send at least one letter —

petition, wire.or, what have you, collectively.or indi-

Piduatly to.the | Department. of Transport, Ottawa: and

let thtm know. we: are “afraid
dark corner. If the squeaky wheel

of the dark’’—on_ that
jets the grease, let

us make a squeak that will: long be remembered by
the Powers that Be, feng enough to get us a signal at

any fate!

Letter’ s to

To the Editor:

Anyone who buys the Toronto
Star’ Weekly. will have noticed
the following caption on the out-
side cover of the magazine ‘sec-
tion; “Did Canada Hang An In-
nocent’Man”. Ladies and‘ Gentle-
men. the caption should have
read, “Did Eastern Canada’ Hang
An Tnnocent Man." We in Bri-
tish. Columbia have been , too
busy trying to, hang our former
Minister of Lands and . Forests,
and Minister of Mines, Hon. R.
E. ‘Bob’ Sommers, to have’ taken
any interest in what was going
on in the rest of Canada.’
_ For a number of years: we in
Canada have been rather: non-
plussed at the ‘political ‘state of
affairs in France, just one elec-

seems ‘to ‘be satisfied. “Even
though ‘ the ‘country is in‘ dite
financial need, they can’ ‘still
spend ‘money on one election

{after another.

Fellow British Columbians, it
will not be very long before we
will be ‘able to place British
Columbia in: thé sate catagory
as France, unless: we stop ‘letting
ourselves’ beled dround by ‘the
nose, * by people © like. “Arthur
