CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Sept. 15, 1960 Teen -Age Beauty Contest Wanted for Our District During the past few warm summer months this newspaper has been vividly aware of two things: 1. The number of beauty contests held by municipalities and Districts much smaller than Castlegar. 2.. The number of beautiful teen-age girls which the Castlegar District possesses. Every time we pick up a weekly news- naird and Robson? Are they afraid to dis- play some of their beauties and show up the rest of the province in some such as the one to name Miss Pacific Na- tional Exhibition? Maybe next year some club such as the Kinsmen {they’ve got.a lot of young paper lately we've been pl the eye with a picture of some teen-age beauty such. as Miss Regatta Queen at Kelowna, Miss Grand Forks at that spud- growing community over in the Boundary country, or of Miss Rodeo up at Williams Lake. What’s wrong with Castlegar, Kin- ly hit-in’ who would probably jump at the chance to head a beauty contest commit- tee) will sponsor such a contest. And for judges we've got some suggestions: Dash- ing Norm McNabb of the village’s works department and Alex and Ed from that well-known viewing spot, Lewis’ barber shop on Castlegar’s main -drag. Not the Dole Again Organized labor in Canada has picked a bad time to parade irresponsible policy before the Canadian public. Within a year, labor hopes to have its own political party bidding for the pub- lie’s confidence. Yet in Montreal delegates to the Canadian Labor C tion demonstrated a shocking lack of knowledge, logic and responsibility ina realm of gov that touch labor most closely: unemployment insur- ance. : The convention no sooner met than the majority of delegates threw out the advice of saner heads—the CLC’s own leg- islative committee —- and voted in effect to kill unemployment insurance. They de- manded that the fund be required to pay benefits to unemployed workers without regard to the. number of contributions made. They insisted that payments should continue as long as the individual remains without a job. No government — not even a Labor-. government — could implement such an open-ended plan. The proposals would totally wreck labor’s hard-won insurance scheme: and turn it into a dole, financed entirely by those who work. One of the cardinal principles of insur- ance is that the purchaser buys sufficient protection to guard against -misfortune. This insurance principle was recognized in the original scope of the plan: e ES for labor, that scope has already been amended too much, and as a result, the insurance fund is heading for the rocks. At the end of the past fiscal year, it was down to about one-third of its all-time high. That high was reached in December, 1956, when the fund contained $926.8 million—close to a billion dollars, : The rate at which it’s now being drain- ed, according to several insurance fund experts, will see it emptied by 1963.

One sample of red tape which visitors to the capital must buck is cited by Hileen Turcotte, who writes a civil service column for The Ottawa Journal. “An irate visitor to Ottawa,” says this columnist, “had to phone six different numbers — starting with the - government switch board at CE2 — 8211 — to get through to a reasonably high placed civil servant here, although he knew the full name and department of jthe party he was calling ....By the time he was finally given the right number, %e had cost him 90 cents at hotel phone rates. Any private business that made things that tough for callers wouldn't last long,” says the complainant. “To make things worse,” concludes The Ottawa Journal columnist, “by the time he got through the party he was calling had left for the day.” — Letter Review we listic - 7.30 p.m, — Prayer and Bible Study, Thursday at 7.30 p.m. Young People’s Wednesday at 7.30 p.m. Robson Memorial Church United Church — Ist and 3rd Sundays at 11.a.m. Anglican Church —- 2nd Sunday at 11 a.m. and 4th Sunday at 8 a.m. and 7.30 p.m. Baptist Church — 5th Sunday _ The Anglican Church 14th Sunday after -Trinity 9 am.

No insurance fund could stand up to an open dole, Pretending it could is either deceit or ignorance or both.

One improvement occurs to us im- mediately. Mr. Michener could put a time limit, or some other kind of limit, on members’ speeches relative to the numerical strength of their party in the house. Thus parliament would have not quite so much of its time taken up by vocal minority members, who apparently cannot resist adding their two-bits’ worth in every issue. With only eight membes in the house, the CCF has more to say for itself than has any other party. It receives press and radio coverage out of all proportion to its significance in the Canadian political scene, for the simple reason that its members are able to speak ad infinitum. . Mr. Mick may well ider that since the point of view of the CCF is not shared by the overwhelming majority of Canadians, the CCF should be given less opportunity to run off at the mouth. ‘ Kootenay West MP Herridge might protest that such a procedure would limit his opportunity to convey to parliament the feelings of the people of his riding. impr It fr tly | that what Mr. Herridge has to say —and he says it at great length—reflects only his own opinions or those of a minority of disciples. If he spent less time making speeches, less time corniving against free enter- prise development of the Columbia and more time promoting 7 Bee likely to h West Koot ity, per- haps he wouldn’t have to na to the Com- mons at 7.45 each morning and stay there until 2 o’clock the next—as he’s been tell- ing us he does day in, day out nine months HAVE JUST ARRIVED of the year. Similarly, perhaps the House wouldn't have to sit right into the summer and fall if Mr. Herridge’s colleagues spent less time blocking anything as trivial as some Quebec divorce bills, and governed them- selves in the House in light of the obvi FRIDAY and 24 HOUR THERMOSTATIC’ DOWNDRAFT WOOD HEATERS | Mears] RENTS: ~ SATURDAY MAYFLOWER SERVICE 2rd at Maple - — Phone 4201 ~ — We Deliver ; We Reserve The Riaht © To Limit Quantity .
