| Castlegar Village Reflects
Prov‘! Optimism, Courage

The Castlegar Districtiis experiencing
one of the busiest periods in its history.
Celgar is rapidly pushing its pulp mill to

pletion, many business have erect-

* ed now stores, a giant shopping centre has
been ‘opened at Kinnaird, residential con-
struction is at an all-time high, McLab
Consiruction is busy clearing and building
the new Celgar housing and apartment
subdivision at Woodland Park, and the
provincial department of highways is pro-
bably doing more work in this area on a
proportional basis then it is doing in any
other ‘section of the large Rossland-Trail
riding. :

However, Castlegar is doing its share,
too, as a recent report at a council meeting
by the village’s works supervisor showed.

Over 1,500. feet of sidewalks have
been constructed in Castlegar this year and

thousands of feet of new. waterline have
been laid. The blind’corner at Maple and
Columbia has been done away with .and
‘new streets and alieys have been built or
extended within the village.

Pine street between Columbia and ist
has been paved and so has Ist Ave. bet-
ween Maple and Main. Village streets have
been oiled and hundreds of yards of gravel

a second well is being developed.

ing displayed at the provincial level by
this province’s government is also being
reflected at the local level by our village
fathers, by local businessmen, by Celgar,
and by individual property owners who are
either building new homes or improving
the appearances of. present homes. and

TCA Pines & Whines
Instead of Competing

When president G. R: McGregor of
Trans-Canada Air'Linés reports to Parlia-
~ment his favorite theme is the wickedness
of competition in the air. He was on it ag-
‘ain when he testified before a House of
Commons committee. =. %
‘=1\s Mr. McGregor complained bittétly of
"the injury TCA had suffered at the hands
of Canadian Pacific Air Lines since that
tompany was permitted last year to oper--
“ate a service from ‘Vancouver to Montreal,
thereby breaking TCA’s fong monopoly on
transcontinental traffic. Since May, he
laimed the privately d CPA had “di-
verted” $3,490,000 worth of business from
‘the government airline.

It never seems to occur to Mr. Mc-
Gregor that this “diversion” resulted, not
from some sinister plot, but from the free
decision of Canadian travelers, They pre-
ferred to travel by CPA. Their choice is
the more remarkable because this airline
is still severely hampered in its operations
‘by official” regulations; it: -is ‘allowed. to
operate only one flight a day in each. dir-
ection, and it’is permitted to make inter-
mediate stops only at Winnipeg and Tor-
onto.

The fact that, despite these handicaps -

imposed on its competitor, TCA has lost so
much business is a commentary on the
kind ‘of service it has been offering its

customers. It is also proof of how badly -

competition was. needed on the transcon-
tinental route. ,

Mr..McGregor went on to warn that

if further. competition were permitted,

TCA would be forced to abandon what he

“Mackenzie? Who Was He?

Six ‘months after he graduates. the
average ‘studént' has forgotten the little
history he ever knew. To him “Locarno
might well be a famous battle or a Per-
sian general; William Lyon Mackenzie and
William Lyon Mackenzie King are virtually
interchangeable, if not unknown; and AI.
elexander the Great might even be a rel-
ative of Field Marshal Alexander.”

That’s: what the University of Toron-
to’s Dr. J. T. Saywell told the 100th an-
nual convention of the Ontario Educational
Association in Toronto. Few honest people
will accuse him of exaggerating. °

Industrial Expansion to Smaller Centres

: Indistrial expansion in the sixties‘ will go largely
to-the ‘smaller’ centres, ‘hopefully predicts the Simcoe
{Ont.) Reformer. “It: is true that ‘the big cities: are still
claiming a-considerable share of industrial expansion, |
but close, observers of the industrial situation believe,
there will be an increasing trend.in the sixties to locat-
“ing in small cities, towns ‘and villages. The’ prospect

The services will be conducted. by the Rev. T. D. B. Ragg,

regularly served ‘by ‘Jocal or. national air-
lines. This is not the’ case in Canada, even|
in densely populated areas like Southern
Ontario:and Southern Quebec, What ser-
vice does TCA provide to cities such as
Kitchener, Kingston, - Peterborough, Nia-
gara Falls and many others? How can it
threaten to withdraw what it has never
furnished?

The second question is: Where TCA
is operating services to smaller centres—
mainly in Western Canada—why ‘should it
be losing money? ‘All over the world the
aviation industry is expanding. at an aston-

ishing rate. The demand for air service] .

is steadily growing, and there. is probably
no place where it is potentially greater
than in the wide spaces of Canada.

‘- J£ TCA were on its toes, it could do a
thriving busi carrying p and
freight between the many. busy but rela-
tively isolated centres which dot. the Prair-
jes, the Canadian Shield ‘and the Mari-
times. If it is unwilling to make the effort,
why does it not- transfer. these ser-
vices to local airlines, which could pro-
hably operate them very profitably?

It is surely time for Trans-Canada
executives to stop pining for the happy
days of complete monopoly and to start

ting ‘competition ‘by providing an ef-

jent and up-to-date service.
