CASTLEGAR NEWS, CASTLEGAR, B.C. THURSDAY, JULY 4, ey A WONDERFUL SERVICE—AND IT’S FREE It is our guess that few people of this district know of the service offered by the Kinnaird St. John Ambulance Home Nursing Division Loan Cupboard. This cupboard contains practically all the ariticles needed in a sick room and now through the coopera- tion of the KRC a Hospital Bed has been added and Junior extension crutches will be available soon, Even a wheel chair is available and all the residents of Castlegar, Kinnaird and Robson need to do to have the use of this equipment for a sick room in their home is to ask for it, sign for it and return it in good condition when they are through, This is a wonderful service to the district and it's all free. You can make use of this service by phoning Mrs. Steve Gallo in Kinnaird. TORIES WILL NOT FOLLOW DOWNING ST. LINE Political observers in UK and US have written much nonsense about Canadian election results, but none have achieved such heights of absurbity as The Economist of London. Theme running through leading article in June 15 issue of The Economist is that de- feat of Libera! it represents unp ed dis- aster for free world, that Canadian diplomacy is likely to be paralyzed for months to come, and that “the government of the next few months to come, will be a wry-necked one, constantly glancing over its should- er at its uncertain supporters.” In execratable taste, particularly’ for a joutnal opinion with the pretentions to intellectual integrity of The Economist, is the snide and frequently supercilious manner in which it seeks to damn Prime Minister Diefenbaker with faint praise. How little The Economist understands Canadian politics is apparent from its comments about Quebec. “The Quebec habitants”, its June 15 issue says. “Can- ada’s most truly Conservative element, still tends to look askance at a party historically devoted to the British connection and. today identified with the thrustful businessment of Toronto.” Fiction that Conservative party is susceptible to ” Seottish Member: Canadian Weekly Newspapers .

Prennred by the Research, Staff of THCYCLOPEDIA CAHADIANA™ ‘WHO WAS: WILLIAM .BELL? William’ Bell’ was a’ pioneer at Perth, Ont, ssupposed influence of business is effectively di ‘ed by University of Saskatchewan historian W. R. Graham. Such an assumption, Professor Graham told Canadian Historical Association meeting at Ottawa, may have had some shadow of truth when first pro- * pounded by William Lyon Mackenzie King, in the 1820's, But when perpetuated a century later /’in the shapeless verbosity of his grandson,” William Lyon Mackenzie King, it was ‘nothing more than a collec- tion of demagogic shibboleths, sanctified by incessant ritualistic repetition.” As for Canadian dipl bei lysed, Economist gives scant credit either te the Liberals or. the Conservatives. Apart from some temporary mis- givings on party lines conceming the Suez incident, Canadian foreign policy, over the years, has been al- most wholly bipartisan. Neither the Liberals rior the Conservatives would be so foolish, because of the Deif- enbakér Government's lack ‘of a working majority in the House, as to seek to make political capital out of Canada’s foreign policy. Exemplary manner in which transfer of ‘power from Government of Mr. St. Laurent to that of Mr. Diefenbaker has been effected, reflects great credit on leaders of both political parties. Utterances of both party leaders, following Mr. St. Laurent’s tendering of his, resignation to Governor-General, make it clear that both place national interests above party interests. People in Canada never expected otherwise either of Mr, St. Laurent or Mr. Diefenbaker. It is stupid for The Economist to imply that Canada, because of events of June 10, faces “interregnum” likely to be characterized by political and Cergainly The Economist's strange. concern is not shor- ed by the Canadian people.

Fox husting was popular among the transplanted English gentry who founded Cannington Manor, Sask, in-the early 1880's, and imported thoroughbred hors- es and fox hounds. Prairie fox-hunting was an exotic sport near Cannington for a number of years but never spread to other localities, WHO INVENTED BASKETBALL? ‘A Canadian is credited with inventing the game of basketball, which is played by an estimated 20,000,000 persons in mgre than 60 countries: It was invented in 1891 by Dr. James H. a native Folks, the’ve picked me to tell about B,C. and they picked the right man because I was here before B.C.

Robert Frost came neor .the best of explanations when he said, “A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.” The. very young, child rolls the sound of the : words around on his tongue and loves the feel of the “4 liquids and sibilants. He likes the sensation of the nasal m‘s and n’s and breathes them over and over for sheer pleasure.

For Frost says, ‘’Thi about the prospects for peaceful existence among nations; Frost said, “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall, that wants it down.” A reader likes to meet people he knows and with whom he has views in common. In the poetry of Frost he finds them al! — the plain people who inherited this earth. Farmers breaking their tools and straining their backs: against rocky soil, but, with spirits un- bowed; a ‘hired. man, so nondescript that even in his passing from this life, he was scarcely missed; a lonely hill wife; a boy who liked to climb trees. Frost notes “one could do. worse than be a swing- er of birches” even when he is grown; and the tillers of the furrowed, brown earth, who ‘replenish the bread baskets of the world, are content with their roles.

And that statement became a puzzle to people | less imaginative. than the New Hampshire sage. But Thoreau knew that you didn’t have to travel | sights. He und and his intelligence keen and alert. He could go fora walk with a friend and experience as wide a range of new life as the average person would find in a trip.to : Europe. While his friend would see only the barns and bear nothing but the crows, Thoreau would see a multi- tude of enriching sights and hear a veritable sym- phony of sounds. He would note a spider’s web glistening in the morning sunlight, thrill to the music of a bobolink, drink in the aroma of the cedars and the pine.- He would catch the flash of a tanager’s wings as it flitted through the branches; the tune of ‘the meadowlark would make him smile with delight and the drama _ of a hawk ‘swooping at a sparrow gave him os much it as a play.
