Recreation - Education - Quebec - Fast Time

The drawbacks of a slow-growth local
economy are well illustrated in the financial
| problems being faced by Regional Recreation
; Commission No. 1 for the 1974 operating year.
‘ The Commission is financed by a one-mill
levy imposed on the twin towns of Castlegar and
Kinnaird and electoral Areas I and J. This year
one mill raised $42,500; next year it will raise
only $1,300 more ($43,800). Since the
Commission is locked into a one-mill levy, it
must now approach the two towns and the
regional district in an effort to have them allow
an inereased levy (the Commission wants 1'4
mills),

If the Castlegar area was experiencing
greater industrial growth, then the assessment
base would be expanding and existing mill rate
levies would be bringing in

artificial demands for reform, to the aggrandise-
ment of. her own department,”
*

A week ago Monday the voters of Quebec
went to the polls and gave an overwhelming
mandate to Premier Robert Bourassa’s Liberal
government,

While the size of Mr. Bourassa’s majority
can lead to problems if he uses his 102 members
as a bulldozer against the eight Opposition
MLAs, nonetheless, his huge majority comes
about as a result of a positive decision of the
electorate.

The people of Quebec were against
separatism and decided to make that fact
abundantly clear by voting for the one
party—the Liberal Party—that gave full voice to

of

P
greater revenues, Partly because of the regional
district's seeming inability to properly zone
potential industrial park land in the electoral
areas, this district’s assessment base is not
growing rapidly (only 3 per cent a year) and
consequently, an increase in the actual mill rate
is the only way for our local taxing groups to
raise additional necessary funds,

We believe Regional Recreation Commis-
sion No. 1 is doing an excellent job. Its programs
are first-rate and its activities involve nearly
everyone—from the very young to the very old,
We believe that the Commission should be
allowed an increase so that, at the very least,
present programs don't have to be curtailed.

At the same time, let's not lose sight of the
circumstances that are forcing the Commission
to seek a mill-rate increase, Candidates in local
elections now being held will likely be devoting
considerable time to outlining the needs, as they
see them, for what we agree are much-needed

d di I facilities,
But we hope candidates speak out equally
strongly on where they stand on securing the
needed secondary industry that will help
broaden the tax base for us all.

Education Minister Eileen. Dailly has
ordered all school boards in the province to hold
public meetings in junior and senior secondary
schools to hear what students, teachers and
parents think about the system.

Comments the Vancouver Sun: “Mrs, Dailly
might be astonished if she found out how many
parents wish she would stop trying to stir up

Quebec voters were not prepared to vote
for the Parti Quebecois, a party most of them
believed would tear the country apart at
tremendous economic and cultural costs to
Canada as a whole. In voting the way they did,
the people of Quebec dealt separatism a heavy,
even a fatal, blow.

Canadians everywhere had a great deal at
stake in the Quebec election. All Canadi

should be pleased with the result.
. . .

Like many of our readers we're still trying
to get used to the return to Standard Time. We
haven't yet reverted to our old sleeping habits
and the number of additional people having
coffee in local cafes before going to work in the
morning would seem to indicate a lot of other
people haven't adjusted yet either.

We've thumped the tub often enough for
year-round Daylight Saving Time that we don't
want to become boring. However, it is worth
making note of bills introduced recently in both
houses of Congress in the United States.

The bills would make daylight, time a
year-round fact of life, with the impetus for the
move this time being connected to the need to
conserve energy.

Proponents of the move say that just as
getting upan hour earlier in summer means one
more hour of daylight after work for most
people, so in winter that extra hour of daylight
at the day's end would diminish the use of
electricity, and perhaps even reduce consump-
tion of home-heating fuels.

They might just have a point.

Patricia Youngs Says

Family Government is the Most Influential

The smallest,

Pbut most infl

government, with
Dad as the head
of the household
and Mom _as_ his

their. place as citizens with a
right to express their opinions,
but not necessarily the final

We saw the old “divide-

operation as the "Generation
Gap.” Today, aided and abetted
by sundry government agen-
cies, parental authority is just
about zero. To be sure, parents
must feed, cloth, house and
educate their offspring. Should

young Jimmy not find the deal
satisfactory, he can find sympa-

Impaired Driving
Charge Follows
Head-On Accident

A head-on collision near
Nancy Greene Junction late
Halloween night has resulted in
a Christina Lake woman being
charged with impaired driving.

Margaret E. Ball, 48, was
charged after the 1972 sedan
she was driving was in collision
with a 1963 model car driven by
Helen Jean Foluik, 18, of Trail.

The Foluik vehicle, which
sustained an estimated $400
damage, was travelling east on
Highway No. 3 and the Ball
vehicle, which was estimated to
have received $500 damage,

was travelling west when the -

collision occurred.
No injuries were reported.

A number of deep and’
troubling questions —_ are
puzzling me this fall, Perhaps
if I get them out in the
open, those stabbing cramps
in my stomach will ease off.

Leaves. I have six maples
and two huge oaks on my
front lawn. That produces
feaves to the knees,’ My
neighbour across the street
has four maples around his
Property. Also a fair crop
of leaves, but nothing like
ours.

My neighbour rakes up
his leaves. At least his wife
does. I contemplate mine
with a a Sudlcious eye, waiting
for the right moment to
strike. “Might as well wait
till they're all down.”

My neighbours are godly
and righteous people. | am
an acknowledged sinner. Yet

- every fall, about this time, .

we get one of those howling

inds that make you,
. ado ours.

I getupt e next mornin

‘and my front lawn is as
‘clean as the. cat’s dish. I

look out the‘other window
in dismay, and sure enough,
my neighbour’s tidy lawn
looks like the Maple Leaf
Forever. My leaves. Why?

There. 1 feel better
already, getting that off my
chest. As good as the
confessional.

Football. In my youth,
1 dearly loved the game.
Played five years in high
school, two in college before
I went off to play another
kind of game.

Every night I'd dragele
home in the dark, after
Practice, aching in every
limb, drinking in the sharp
fall air, completely satisfied.

During the games, there
was the heady knowledge
that every girl in the school
was out there watching you.
This, of course, was a two-
edged sword. You might
catch a pass for a touch-
down. You might also drop
it, for a red face.

We had some great teams :

in high school, because our
principal was a football nut.

We didn’t have much
going for us besides lots of
spirit. There were about four
helmets on the team. Our
uniforms were ragged. We
made our own pads of felt
obtained at the local felt
mill. Some had cleated
boots, others played in
sneakers.

One of my great thrills
was when my big brother
took me to Ottawa for the
Grey Cup final. In those
days the Grey Cup game
wasn't the silly-ass spectacle +
