Congratulations Due
To Notre Dame College

Congratulations are due’ at this time to Notre
Dame College in Nelson on the opening last week
of a $130,000 classroom extension,

With an enrolment this year of 162 students,
the four i
office space give the college facilities to handle
an enrolment of up to 300 students.

Notre Dame has grown quickly from its
meagre start in an old bakery in downtown Nel-
son in 1950 to a modern college in that citys Up-

er Fairview with a modern classroom building,
chapel and $100,000 men’s residence,

Total investment to date in this educational
institution has been $534,000, Although it is run
by the Catholic diocese of Nelson, 45 per cent of
the college's enrolment is made up of non-Catho-

Ne students, Notre Dame, is to be congratulated
at this time forsin helping to make Nelson the
educational centre of the interior it is providing
a much needed service to the whole Kootenay
area.

* 8 «

Congratulations are also proper at this time
to a local student who attends Notre Dame Col-
lege. Miss Lorraine Schwartzenhauer, who won
the Stanley Humphries award as top, grade 12
student at the high school last year, has topped
the first-year students at Notre Dame in their
semester examinations written in January.

Castlegar can well be proud of Miss Schwart-
zenhauer’s acomplishment and also of the teach-
ing staff at the high school where she received
her secondary education,

Don't Postpone Day Of
Red China Recognition

External Affairs Minister Green says unat

Commonwealth, India and Ceylon, and one ex
Burma — surely “friends” of ours, The

Canada has no present i ion of =
ing China’s Peking government; and this has to
be accepted, for the time being, as one of the
diplomatic facts of life. But Mr, Green supported
his position with arguments that are open te de-
bate.

He says there’s little chance of developing
trade with China, which may be true but is irre-
levant, We are on perfectly friendly terms with
Siam, Iceland and Nicaragua even though our
trade with them is negligible,

There is more weight in the minister’s state-
ment that, by denying recognition, we bolster
the morale of our anti-Communist friends in
Southeast Asia, like Malaya. There are indeed
‘some Asian lands that appear to want no’ truck
or trade with China,

But at the 1958 and 1959 sessions of the Uni-
ted Nations Assembly the proposal to give Peking
a UN seat (which is the same thing as recogni-
tion) was backed by India, Burma, Ceylon, In-
donesia, Nepal, A and Ci

opinion of this group evidently is that the rest
of us must live with the Chinese revolution whe-
ther we like it or not.

Nobody believes for a moment that an ex-
change .of ambassadors by Peking and Ottawa,
or Peking and Washington would at once, or even
soon, bring cordiality between the new China and
the West. It's far more complicated than that,

The point of the argument. simply is that
Canada’s present posture of support for Chiang
Kai-shek, which amounts to a declaration of per-
manent and implacable hostility to Peking, only

, postpones indefinitely the day when we can even

begin to re-establish normal relations with China,
the world’s largest nation and, at the

Timeless Topics

Last summer a man went swimming in a river with hls wife
and six-year-old daughter, The fttle girl asked “Daddy Jet me

ride on your back” and the father consented,

He was not a.strong swimmer, so os he carried his little girl
on his back, he stayed in water below his arm pits, Suddenly,”
however, he stepped into a-hole ‘and ‘found that his feet could
not touch bottom. He tried to step. back irito shallower water: but
the current from the river kept him from doing so. With his lit-
tle girl clinging to his,back the man struggled to keep afloat.

For a moment he splashed and struggled, then he realized
that unless he called for help one or both of them might drown
so he called to his wife wha was standing in the water not far
away. She quickly came close enough to reach out her hand and
pull him back to a spgt where he could touch bottom, “I’m so glad

you called for help," she said.

The trouble is that some people are too proud or self reliant
to ask God to help them. They think they can struggle against
the ‘current of temptation alone, The apostle Peter would have
sunk had he not called out, “Lord save me.” Matthew 14:30.

The bible tells us that Jesus can help us when we are tempted
due to the fiact that He Himself has endured temptation, but it
says that if we desire help in time of need we must call upon

Him in prayer. — Miss J. Pennoyer.

TAXES ABUSE MOTOR CARS

The motor car is a much abused vehicle when it comes to
taxes, thinks the Peterborough Examiner. “There is no point in
trying to make a dray horse for taxation out of it; and if it is
to be taxed heavily — as it is — the revenue must be Girected
to where it will-do the driver the most good — on the roa

‘We all should have ‘a quiet time
To muse and meditate,

Our deeds will procreate,

Lieutenant-Governor Koss,

Written by Premier W. A, C.

tes that “The vast forests of

ly one-half of the timber re-
quirements of the province.

“My ‘government ‘is, greatly

that “My government will con-
tinue to press for the earllest

‘Minister Goglaral:
