HOW TO KILL A COMMUNITY Always cultivate the idea that you can do better in some other community. Denounce your merchants because they are try- ing to make a living here. Glory in the downfall of any man who has done much to improve your community. Get all you can from the municipality and the merchants, but spend your money somewhere else. Tell your merchants that you can buy elsewhere cheaper. You probably can’t, but charge them with extortions anyway. Always believe what peddlers and specialty agents tell you, and buy from them. You could no doubt do better at your own stores, but don’t ever do that. tf @ stranger stops in town, tell him he'd do bet- ter to go.on to the next place. Call your merchants and the place you tive os the meanest on earth. Alwoys have your mind made up, before you go in any of your home stores, that you simply can’t get anything to suit you there. ’ And now after having religiously done ‘all the above, you ought to have the satisfaction of shortly seeing your community reduced to a small burg, with a general store and a service station or two. All this may not have enhanced the value of your property ‘any or improved your own Siving conditions, but you don't care. — Exchange, Chilliwack. FARMERS WANT FREEDOM Down in the United States the farmers have got- ten together to form a national federation of inde- pendent farm organizations. They are seeking mem- ‘bership from farmers who want to be free from gov- ernment subsidies, dictation and contro!. A fi to the B ‘lle Si the decision to form this organization to protect thentselv- “es against bureaucratic interference and enroachment of goverment, came from the fact that.some 14,000 U.S. farmers were fined a total of $8,500,000 last year for infractions of rules and orders laid down by agricultural authorities in Washington. The indepen- dent farmers want the right to use their land as they see fit — and not the way experts in Washington tell them to use it. Certain marketing board legislation in Canado is being questioned now by many: Canadian farmers. One thing that they detest about it is the fact that it works on the principle that “A man is considered~ guilty until he can prove his innocence." It will be interesting to watch developments here, and compare them with the efforts now being made Castlegar News Published Every Thursday At Member: Canadian Weekly “THE C OF THE KO xs" * Castlegar, B.C.

E- Norris, Manager “Death! Thats one thing you don't have to worry about — it’s permanent.” These words, overheard recently in a local store, may or may not have been uttered seriously. God’s Word re- veals that these is a death that is permanent, but the death of the body is not. This fact brings warning and hope, The moment Adam sinned, he died — spiritually, The fel- lowship of his spirit with God was utterly broken. Dead to God, he was driven from His presence. Mankind is “born in sin” and dead in spirit and can have no fellowship with God, ‘This is Fer- ; we would escape mantnt death. Thus we are warn- ed to receive ‘life from above’ and be “born again” by His Spirit it is eternal separation, Christ suffered this God-forsakeness on the cross that we, by faith, might reccive life and cleansing. The death of the body is often spoken of as “sleep” in’ the Bible because it is not perinan- ent. Soul and spirit do not cease to exist but, in the case of the redeemed, dre “absent from the body and present with the Lord”, which “is far better”. At Christ's coming again, these shall he clothed with. their resurrected and transformed bodies, as was Christ. Thus Job said, “after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my {fesh shall I see God! ‘If we are Christ's, loved ones we “lay away" who also are His, we shall see and know throughout eternity! What joy and comfort. t In the case of those not re- deemed, the soul departs to await the judgement day when, clothed also in the resurrected body, they shall be banished from God's presence for ever, where Jesus said “there is wailing and weep- ing and gnashing of teeth”, What a warning to seek the Saviour’s cleansing and life eternal while. there is time.

The bulk of them landed at Victoria, the only real port and got across to the mouth of the Fraser anyway they could. Some tried it in canoes and were never heard of again. Those that did make it had 200 more miles to go before getting to the diggings. "But the point I was to make just now is that this big inrush of folks into practically an empty space here just naturally forced us to get organized as a Place.

In the local store, surrounded by bloodshot orange-juice dispensers,.I asked for.a large box of matches—I just didn’t want -the poper matches,-you understand—and received a box so big that the con- terits must have been iritended for lighting forest fires.

The weekends may. still consist of a mere two © days, but they seem bigger. On another occasion this magnification of life . was made even more evident by the sight of a Can- adian. infant chasing the cat with (incredible though it may seem) the outsize remains of an asparagus tree,- The cat didn’t seem unduly perturbed, either.

Then take street numbers, If London {England} had an address such as, say, 5, 68 West 132nd Street, the house would probably be precariously perched on some cliff in the Outer Hebrides. And when a thing: isn't any bigger, Canadians have more of it; for in- stance, the expression “for Heaven's sake’ becomes “for Heaven’s sakes”.

Beer To Gost More Unles sBrewers Get Tax Relief Soon The Canadian who relaxes in his back yard with a frosty stein of beer can take pride that he is carrying on a great tradition, to a new issued by the Dominion Brewers Association, Canada’s first brewery was {started nearly 300 years ago, in 1688, by the Intendant Jean Talon to substitute a more moderate beverage for the widespread use of hard liquor in the colony, and this brewery was probably Can- ada’s first industry, As a further indication of the ancient origins of the malt creased by 92%", the brewers point out. ‘During that time the average price of a case of beer bought fo? home consumption in the varicus provinces has increas- ed only 49%.” But most of this increase is extra taxes, the brew- ers say. “Of the 49% increase only 19% went to the brewing industry.” Feced with mounting taxes and fast-rising labour and ma- terial costs, the job of purveying a cool bottle of beer to the Can- adien public gets tougher every year.
