CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Oct. 19, 1961 CASTLEGAR NEWS This month, Toastmasters Interna- tional observes its 37th anniversary. Started by Ralph C. Smedley at Santa Ana, Calif., on Oct 22, 1924, the world- wide speech organization has trained more than half a million men in the art of self-expression, medi founded ~Toast ‘on the premise that you learn by doing. This theory has proved highly successful. Pub- idred and Forty-Seven cities and countries. The orgnization has never had a paid organizer, but today there are more than 3,300 Toastmasters clubs in 44 countries and territories throughout the free world.

Most of us take our forests for granted; we dg not, or perhaps cannot, realize that, as Mr. Willls- ton pointed out, 40 cents of every dollar we earn, in no matter what walk of life, comes from the for- ests, It's difficult to grasp so stag~ gering a fact. As Mr. Williston says, it's almost frightening. ty-five per cent of our a self-help or jon which teach men to listen analytically, to Chink con- structively, and to speak effectively and concisely. When he founded the San‘a Ana Toast club, Smedly thought of it as purely a local activity. But “he mem- bers of that original club took the idea with them when they moved to other airline p and k ional and gover tal groups. Happy Birthday to the Toastmasters of Castlegar and District and to Dr. Ralph C. Smedley who has lived to see his idea for more effective communica- tion spread throughout the free world. WHAT'S THE FUSS ABOUT IN VERNON Anybody who would impersonate a newspaperman is asking for ‘rouble. Ask the next newspaperman you en- counter, especially if he’s just had a run- in with somebody who was up. before the judge that morning, or with a politician, or with Mrs. Jones whose daughter's name I got spelled t ds. A man would be crazy to impersonate a newspaperman, especially in an interior cown. Nevertheless, there are eccentrics around who would do just that. There was the Kelowna RCMP special branch photographer, for instance, who stuck a ticket in his hat and made like a news- paperman during the Prime Minister’s recent visit to Vernon. This enterprising policeman now knows better. He’s found to his cost the kind of hassle’ people can get into if they run around with notebooks in their hands, asking awkward questions. He should have left it to the professionals, like us. We know bester: we masquerade as Boy Scouts, and that keeps us out of a lot of trouble. 3 Seriously though, we are wondering what all the fuss is abou* over in Vernon. The facts seem to be, now that the RCMP commissioner himself has set the record straight, that a policeman took some photographs of a group of unem- ployed and asked them some questions. FREEDOM FROM If Premier Manning of Alberta left anything to be argued after he presented the costly facts of government in Canada, it was the question of whether his warn- ing would be heeded. His facts are startling enough. . . The average Canadian today pays more than twice the federal, provincial and municipal taxes he paid in 1949. The share of the national debt carried by the average Canadian family is $7,200. The budget of Mr. Manning’s own province has risen from $17 million in 1936 to $323 million this year. Mr. Manning then quotes social his- ‘orians to the effect that no free nation has ever survived when its cost of govern- ment exceeded more than 50 per cent of the people’s income. And he adds: “We have less than 10 per cent to go. From then on we'll have to take totalitarian measures to straighten our economy or go bankrupt.” This is the heart of Mr. Manning's warning, that we are dissipating our free- dom on ¢he treadmill of our desire for For our money, that was an excel- lent idea. It is about time somebody asked some questions of the organized unemployed. It is about time somebody asked some questi of the disorganized unemployed, too, judging from the num- ber of social welfare recipiets who clut- ter the drunk tank in our police cells. The police have very good reason to PP that the d waiting to greet the Prime Minister in Vernon forest out-put goes to Canada and the United States, so there’s very little immediate worry on that score. But, it's the other quarter that causes so much concern, That quarter must be sold on the world market, where competition from the world is flerce indeed. 1 Don’t, warned Mr. Williston, ex- pect overseas customers to buy B.O. forest products on the basis of sen- timent, In big business, In export- import trade, there's no sentiment; the buyers of our lumber, sald Mr. Williston, want it at the lowest price and the highest quality. Who can blame them for that? We're all the same, even if we're buying but a toothbrush, Mr. Williston didn’t come right out and say it, but you could tell the'd like to get away from so much dependency on the U.S, market and branch out more into world mar- kets. ” He put it this way: “As our de- pendency on the United States part of our domestic market grows, we become increasingly susceptible to hadn’t arrived there by ident, by any any of thelr stretch of the paid their fares from the coast or where- ever, and it is right that the country should know who. Social welfare pay- ments are not designed for such a pur- pose and pr bly are not ts to the task, either. About the worst that can be said of the blundering efforts of the Kelowna policeman in Vernon is that he was guilty of appalling clumsiness. Somebody should tell him what happens when bulls get loose in china shops. From time to time, it may be neces- sary for policemen to impersonate news- papermen. If they do it often enough, they will live to regret it. At least they should first find out, however, the eternal truth of that old Chinese maxim, “Gently, gently, catchee monkee.” No point in having Harold Winch embarrass the boss, now is there? — Trail Times RESPONSIBILITY more and more government, and less and less individual responsibility for our per- sonal affairs. Frightening as it may seem to some, there are grounds for believing that the whole, concep: of freedom has either van- ished or suffered a grotesque distortion in the public mind. Once, when men called for free- dom, it was a freedom to work out their lives, enjoy the fruits of their labor and brook as littie interference as possble from the government and its tax collect- ors. - When Mr. Manning speaks of the approaching threat of totalitarian reme- dies, there should be no squeamishness on a the part of those who have courted them | to define what these remedies would be. Production quotas, price and labor controls, austerity and authority. Every- thing that any bankrupt household has to enforce to drag itself out of debt. In other words, more government. That’s what Mr. Manning means. And we'd be wise to heed him well. — Vancouver Prov. and yet we are to influence them. It is at times like these that overseas markets can be our salvation, But we won't be able to capitalize on them — we won't be able to get back into them, or hold our own in them — if we just show an interest when BAILEY'S LTD.
