There is stil! much to be done of course, before the hospital becomes reality, but from here on in it’s comparatively smooth sailing. 2 Perhaps many of us don’t appreciate just how much has been . accomplished by that small group of .tireless workers known as - the Castlegar and District Hospital Society, We know. the improve- _ ment district ition is of their efforts but do we realize how far from a small.chore that was.

The petition had first to be i This meant trips to the Land Registry Office where the name of every person own- ing land in the proposed district, along with an accurate legal des-

The petition canvass was organized in Mey and by the end of the year, with much careful supervision by the Society directors, every property owner listed on the petition, living in or near Castlegar School Distrct No. 9, had been approached for . bis signature. : Seyerat more weeks, consisting of more extra-long evenings were spent in tabulating the results and setting them in order for submission to the Hospital Insurance Service. “- :

WHAT WILL HISTORY SAY? _

Canada’s ‘wealthiest year has just past into history. The New Year, and the whole future of this challenging land, will be bigger still, But is being “big” enough? asks the Financial Post. Let's not confuse bigness with greatness — or worthwhileness, By itself, “greatness” in’ size has no value in the saga of history or of human affairs. In the welter of big figures what have we done about the iniportant things?

We Canadians go all over the world, everybody envies us and B.

most people like .us. Nobody is mad at us, But the short pants of colonialism or smallism no longer fit or become us. What affirma- tive and thoughtful thing should we do? Me

‘We can enliven our sense‘of being Canadian. Enlarging and en- hancing our own sense of nationality is one thing we can do—and the Western World will commend us for so doing. .

‘We can. stop being d-rate C: i or d-rati Americans—by beizig ourselves. Canada is much better for itself and for its friends as it is, than by becoming a.sickly sibling of ‘a 49th state. a .

Our Commonwealth is the world’s most successful international institution alive and useful. That is one thing we can help keep alive.

We Canadians are fairly good in mechanics, in chemistry.and

_ in physics. We have opened up a big land. We have good people in mining, forests, farming, atomic energy and medicine. *

How good are we in other fields? It is time we concerned our- selves also with those other,things of the spirit, Up to now, history has very little to say for us. . .
