Castlegar Cubs Wind Up Season With Weekend at Camp Rory

: OER ACO ars Sake eines 2nd Castlegar Cubs End Season With Weekend at Camp Rory

Letter to the Editor

Disagrees With Young ‘Bleeding Hearts’ Were Active at Habitat

Dear Sir:

I feel I must attempt to make some sort of reply to last week's Patricia Young’s column in the Castlegar: News titled “Bleeding Hearts Active at Habitat.”

Her argument, as I under- stood it, was: “Look at the virtuous North Americans. All you need is some hard work and sweat and you'll have a para-

r all, you can see what we have done in the past 300 years.” Implicit in the argu- ment is the attitude that all those “over there” are’ lazy,

ignorant and just plain incom-.

petent. First, just stop for a minute and look at ourselves. If we live the way we are presently living for the next 200 years—and that's just a of the age of the civilizations inIndiaand Asia— what'state do you think we and our land will be in? Sure, we're Prosperous now, but at what expense—and ~waste—to our land and resources. And what

+ condition are we in morally and

spirit

Is - this great ‘race to productivity, efficiency and consumption teaching us much about how to communicate with each other? I personally have found living in a village or town in Sri Lanka or Nigeria much more fun—socially—than in any town here. The places there are alive—everyone talking and gossiping and socializing—not just on market day, but any time of the day or night.

Here, with our extreme sense ‘of privacy, with our closed doors and individual sources of entertainment, life an be’ extraordinarily lonely and isolated. Any who saw the film “A Sense of Place", made especially for Habitat, will have seen what I mean.

‘Those in the “Poor World” are not lazy, incompetent or stupid. They work harder than

many of us can imagine to stay alive and to keep ahead of the diseases, parasites and. mal- nutrition that are ever-constant shadows in the tropics,

There's no way I can, in this letter, elaborate on the historical reasons for where they are and where we are, But there is a connection. Slavery was not an accident—and con- tributed significantly to the “development” of the U. S. The prices we pay for Third World goods and the prices we charge them for the manufactured goods we sell are not accidents either. We are rich and power-

in the world and we use those riches and that power to further consolidate and en- hance our position, *

The message, for me, from Habitat was clear. “Canadians, look after your land and your resources. Cherish and care for them. Plan, not for the next year but for the next 200. Become aware of your relation- ship with the rest of the world. Make sure you are indeed ‘off the backs’ of other countries— make sure you indeed are able to live without exploiting and using someone poorer and less powerful than yourself. Open your minds and your lives to other people, not only in your own’ communities but every- where’ on this ‘one earth’.”

The 2nd Castlegar Cubs wound up a very successful season with a weekend at Camp Rory. You might say we cheated a little having such luxuries available as sleeping cabins, kitchen, washrooms,

Married Life Is Very Public The First Night

The first day of married life for Duncan and Karen Shargod of Christchureh, New Zealand, started with breakfast in bed—in the display window Sa iuenittre store,

‘The couple did not have a bed in their home when they got married recently, so a local radio station offered © them one—provided they spent their first two ‘nights in it in public.’

‘They accepted, spending

-their first night as man and

wife sleeping and watching television,

‘The bed and the rest of the $1,000 bedroom suite will be theirs after another night on display.

“It's been a lot of furs Mrs. Sharrod said.

“As for the other,” added her’ husband, “Well, there's plenty of time for that, isn't there?”

ele, But the 17 boys and 4 leaders had a terrific camp despite this handicap,

To give-you an idea of what the cubs did during the rest of the season we have noted some of the activities,

Friday Cub nights were well attended throughout the season, with instruction mainly directed towards the Green Star requirements, This encom- passes a variety of outdoor skills including map reading, compass use, knots, fire light- ing, elementary cooking, hik- ing, ete.

We are pleased to say that seven cubs, from our pack of 24, were awarded the Green Star, ‘TnSPest wets close wo passing and will complete the require- ments next season, In addition to this work, quite a few badges were awarded.

Outdoor activities were exceptionally well attended and enjoyed by all. Events included ice fishing at Nancy Greene Lake, a sleep-out at Robson Hall with the Robson Cubs, rock hunting at Queen Victoria Mine, Beasley, a cook-out at Syringa Creek Park, a swim-a- thon at Nelson, a bike-a-thon to Ootischenia, to name a few. .

The leaders fee! we had a very good session and look forward to the new season starting close to the end of September.

If you are interested in assisting with the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, or the Group Committee next season, please call Gail Davidson.
