CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Oct. 6, 1960. Beat the Drum a Whole Lot Production of pig iron—the first stage in Comin‘co’s integrated iron and _ steel industry—may begin at Kimberley within the next six weeks. The Trail Times, in an editorial en- titled “Beat the Drum a Little,” suggests Bennett and his full cabinet should be here to observe what Lands and Forests Minister Ray Williston has described as ‘fa major break-through .in B.C.’s forests products industry with the establishment at Castlegar of the province’s first pulp miil off tid that Cominco could perform a service to the southeastern corner of B.C. _ by making the most of the opportunity afforded by the steel mill’s start-up. < “Eastern newspaper, radio and tele- vision reporters should be brought here by the plane-load,” suggests the Times. “And, judging from the miconceptions about the Kootenays so frequently noted _ in the metropolitan press, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to bring in a few from the coast for good measure.” If it has not done so already, suggests the Trail newspaper, “Cominco should turn . its public relations staff loose on this Kimberley inauguration at once. Visitors should have explained to them, in the field, the significance of the entire local ”” Some ib of the Representatives of \North America financial papers and trade - magazines should be brought in here by the train . load and-the village councils of Castlegar and Kinnaird should make’ enquires to Celgar as to how they can best assist in making the official opening one to remem- ber. Let the Castlegar District and Celgar “Beat the Drum a Whole Lot.” Letters should go out to Provincial Secretary W. D. Black from the twin villages asking the Cabinet to hold one of its famous out of the capital cabinet meetings in this area and, if it’s feasible, maybe the Premier could hold the meeting here the day before the ceremonies at Celgar, if the company tends the cabi an invitation to be acces cabinet and all B.C. MP's “should be brought into the Kootenays the day the first pig iron flows in the Kimber- Jey plant.” The Times’ suggestion for showing the K off when Kimberley’s steel mill goes into production is a good one. And: in that suggestion lies a similar idea for the official ceremonies here in Castle- gar’, when Celgar is operating. The pulp company probably has plans underway already for such an opening, but let's s ‘hope that it goes all-out. Premier The Mayor Has ‘Done’ It We are told that at this weeks council meeting Mayor Hardman (Liberal candi- date in the recent provincial election) said that if he and George Hobbs (successful CCF candidate in the election) had not con- ducted the city campaign against the High Arrow dam this year, “Williston would have had _ it built long ago.” Tt was revealed druring the election campaign. that the circulars and brochures which have been issuing from City Hall were prepared by Mr. Hobbs but signed by the mayor. Stop Those Flying Bullets The two recent accidental slayings in the woods near this city by rifles in the hands of 16-year old boys has brought a feeling of horror to the hearts of most people and has created a sense of fear ‘among the hundreds of hunters who: habit- ually find their diversion, relaxation and pleasure in the game-infested mountains and forests of this region. The victims are dead. and nothing can bring them back to life. But boys at whose hands they died will have to live with the nightmare of their carelessness for the rest of their days; not a very com- forting prospect. What's to be done about the situation? We have no easy or handy solution to the problem, but perhaps a good start could be made by protecting virtual children from their own heedlessness and awkward- ness, It is difficult to determine at exactly what age a boy attains a degree of respon- sibility high enough for him to be permitt- ed the use of a deadly weapon. Some un- doubtedly are trustworthy at a compara- tively early stage of their lives while others remain irresponsible to their dying day. But surely 16 is too early, generally, for a boy to.accept mature responsibility. It should be realized that boys of that age are not only at the most awkward stage of their lives since babyhood but are close to the point where they are beginning to develop maturity. It is too much to expect * permitted to have a hunting licence under here. Celgar’s PR boss, Kingsley Harris, doesn’t need any suggestions from us as he runs his department as efficiently as Jim Cameron dirests his at’ Cominco, but we hope neither man misses the opportun- ahead of him: Mr. Cameron to put Cominco and southeastern B.C. before the rest of Canada and the U.S.; Mr. Harris to put Celgar and the Castlegar District _ before the lumbering, forestry, and pulp and paper industries. We are sending copies of this editorial to Hon E. D. Fulton, who is charman of the Canadi team tating with the United States; to Elmer Bennett, head of the Washington team; ‘and to the arch- enemy himself, Ray Williston in Victoria We are quite sure the three, gentle- men will havea hearty laugh when’ they learn that two men in Revelstoke have had such .pronounced effect on international negotiations. What was it Ralph Waldo Emerson said about conceit? It wouldn’t be kind to repeat it. — Revelstoke Review a transition to manhood over night. Education in the use of firearms and there safe handling could be of some help. We believe such; a move was started at. the Fernie school last year .with advice and help from the district game warden and a member of the RCMP but was aban- doned for:some reason or other. It would be well if these instructions were resumed, at a place other than the school if they Happen to conflict with the letter of re- gulations. Then there is the matter of licences. In our opinion a boy of 16 should not be any circumstances. Whatever hunting he does. should .be done only with his father or guardian whose presence can be ex- pected to prove a deterrent to-impulsive and careless actions. Perhaps our Rod and Gun Club can come up with some ideas on how to make hunting safer. It is a fine sport enjoyed by many and should not be permitted to deteriorate to such a degree that'a man takes his life in his hands. every time he approaches a clump of trees,: Pressure on Game Branch officials might also help to bring about some much needed changes. In any event, we believe part of the problem's solution will be found ‘in pro- hibiting the use of firearms to all. minors who are not under constant supervison of God Biess the Farmer Let us offer him good cheer, For. this and every coming year, He starts to work with the morning sun, And works right through till day is done. He sow’s the wheat. oats and rye, Without them we would surly die, He plants the cabbage pea’s and tatoe’s Carrots beets corn and tomatoe’s. | And without eggs the chicken’s lay, It would be a dreay day, And without milk from that cow, We could hear those babies now, And without those pigs to grunt, Eggs and bacon would be a stunt, So this is what I say to you, God bless our farmer because I do, Not a single thing to chew, . Without that beef or mutton stew, . And no flour with to bake, - No bread pies or christmas cake. ‘Or no turkeys geese or ducks, We would be just out of luck, For our christmas and thanksgiving, Life without them is not worth living. So this is what I say to you, God bless our farmer because I do, For the things that he grows, Our life to him we surely’ owe. — Copyright by Fred Pratt, Genelle’ St. Rita’s Catholic Church ’ Rev. E.
