Fernie Workers Get 40-Hour ree Cent Hour Increase FERNIE— Fernie Publlo Works employees reached final agreement on their wooes contract for 1954 with olty oounoll Monday night The employees were granted a 40-hour week, a three-cent- an-hour wage increase and six ' statutory holidays with pay. New hourly rates are labor $1.18, truck drivers $1.28, tractor and cat operators $1.33 and grader operators $1.66. Employees' representatives, James Pearce, Jack Eckersley and Isaac RIgg asked for clarification on the 44-hour week originally agreed upon. The men were rarely called out for work on Saturday morning. In their original request the-men asked for a 40-hour-week with the same take-home pay. The men had agreed to accept a 44-hour week with a three-cent hourly raise but now found themselves working a 46-hour week. The loss of tour hours work was.greater than the increase obtained. Council, replied that they could not guarantee work for 44 hours. It offered the men the 40-hour week from Monday to Friday. Should the men be called out to work on Saturday they would be paid at overtime rates. This was accepted.

President George Murray gave a brief account of the history of the association, pointing out that the Community Hall was built almost entirely by voluntary labor and most of the funds gathered by 'donations! A loan of $2300 had been made to complete the hall and a propane heating unit was Installed at a cost of $1400. ' Since its- opening, the hall, under the operation of, a committee, had cleared about $3500 of the outstanding debt as well as meeting all current operating expenses totalling about $125 a month. This included the cost of operating Ymlr's street lights. Since all community records were destroyed In.a recent fire that levelled the home of Mr. and Mrs.. G. J. Spiers, the treasurer anrjr secretary respectively, It was Impossible to present a flnanoial report or minutes of previous meetings. However, the treasurer felt that If given another week he could prepare an approximate statement of the Community Association's financial affairs, The wording of the constitution and some of its accompanying bylaws came up for spirited discussion and a committee was appointed to study the constitution and by-laws and make recommendations on any changes thought' necessary, A further meeting will be held to hear the treasurer's report'the committee report on amendments and to transact regular business.

Rotary Honors Scouts NAKUSP—Rev. Thomas Mitchell presented three framed pictures, of the late Lord, Baden-Powell, instl- tutor of the Boy Scout.movement, at a Rotary Club meeting here. They were accepted by father F. Smith and William Murijqri, representing Nakusp Boy Scouts and Cubs. Mr., Mitchell paid tribute, to. the Work of the leaders. Tremendous advancements have been made in the movement in Nakusp. It is now necessary to split the Scouts into two groups, he. said. The Scout movement' will pay big dividends in. true spirit of citizenship and loyalty, he believed. "Scouts trained in the highest tenets of Scout tradition will uphold these ideals and they will benefit to the end of their days." Father Smith, in accepting the pictures, said there were now 43 Cubs enrolled. Assisting him were Peter Hurryi Hugh Wood and Harold Doyle. One group met In the firehall and the other In the Parish Hall. He hoped they weredoing the job as Baden-POwell would have, "building character, a cathedral in the heart of a boy. A good Scout meant a good citizen." 1911 IN B.C. Mr; Murlson said there were now 5% million Scouts in the world. The movement started in the South of England in 1008. Its branches were the Boy Scouts, Cubs, Girl Guides. Brownies, Rovers and Rangers.. In B.C.'the movement started in lill, with 1000 boys. In 1030 this had grown to 4540; in 1950 to 14,000; in 1951/ 20,000. Quality ot training has improved, with leaders taking train ing courses. The battle for awards goes on continuously. The group and Na kiisp recently got its first Queen's Scout, ln. the person of Ken Stanley. Nakusp hopes to set up Its'own Scout camp at Cape Horn this Sum mer. More leaders are needed. Charles Horrey received the thanks of the club for his work in framing the pictures. The club was fourth in attendance this month with ari average of 87 per pent. James Hakemari reported on his trip" with Howell Jordan and Alex R. Bedard to Reno, Nevada. They returned Via Sacramento, San Francisco, Brookings, Oregon, and Yakima.

Thursday, March 25, 1954 _ , __ j High Works Vtrte Notes Riding's Needs in j Overall Highway Pattern : The second highest allocation for roril work in the province has been racsived for Neison-Creston, and the riiembsr for this riding is to be con-' arjatulated for the energies put for- vyijrd in obtaining the $220,000 appropriation. "• The vote is recognition that some of the larger jobs left undone on the Southern Transprovincial Highway exist in this riding. Nevertheless, the past has shown that necessity is not always sufficient argument in obtaining allocations, and it requires energetic representations frpm the member to get results. Hon. W. D. Black has undoubtedly, been on the job. -It is interesting to note that the largest allocation, $269,000,-is for projects in the Peace River, the great riding that is drawing B. C. eyes northward. The development requirements of the North ate tremendous, and as activities and settlement expand will jpjvide the South with a real rival for ttention. Details of projects planned for this Iding will not be known until the iublic Works Minister, Hon. Philip A. Gaglardi, announces his estimates. However, there will be a welcome throughout the riding to the news that dbmpletion of the Creston-Salmo cutoff survey is expected. Paving of the Wynndel-Kuskanook section of 1tfo. 3 itighway along the East shore of JCoot- tfpay Lake will complete one of the most scenic drives in Canada. And with st new ferry ready to go into service ijfith MV*Anscomb before the tourist S arson, the bottleneck along this tour- t route will be broken at least for the jyesent. All in all, if the estimates live l%> to the expectations aroused by the Minister's announcement of the works allocation, this riding will feel some certainty that its needs, at least as they fit into the requirements of the overall Itrovincial highways pattern, are receiving attention. The next good news we hope to ime from Victoria will be announce- ient that the government and bridge sibthority have given the go-ahead to obnstruction of the West Arm bridge. t r i Welcome Improvement lj If the city's proposal for 800 block of Victoria Street envisions alleviating tne hazards of the present two-level s|reet it will certainly win the ap- foval of all who have to drive in the ea.

Of Waste Paper To the Editor: , . .' ' Sir-^I see by reading .the March 10 Dally News the awful calling down our B.C. premier is getting trom all the other political parties for his decision to Increase the sales tax by two per cent. I note Mr. Johnson, Liberal, and Mr. WebsteV of the CCF, and also the Progressive Conservative party,"are all fighting mad, and the unions are now threatening to go out again on more strikes. What a ridiculous thing over a paltry raise of two per cent to cover up some iniquities caused by someone named Boss Johnson on the foolish BCHIS deal,.and all the co-Insurances and other silly insurance encumbrances which wore unjust from the start anyway. For myself, I had to keep a steady hospital insurance policy to cover my family in a private association. It has only been a silly thing from the start, BCHIS, and we are all well off.to let It alone, as lt certainly smells bad. I really think Mr. Bennett Is wise to put all the money he can raise and spare into the railroads and roads with the added number of autos on the go. It would be a real good polhy to straighten out and cut off all short turns and generally improve all of our roads and put some of the rusting graders and bulldozers, to say "farthing of'unemployed working union men, to work on something useful instead of them striking for higher wages and sending the general prices still higher while their women and children go short at home. By so doing it would save car accidents and dea'rhs on the roads, and the railroads would open up the B. C. hinterland to some good purpose and encourage development. I have long advocated ending the wastage ln good timber by the steady cutting of it into pulpwood for paper and such. Instead of wasting- and burning old cartons, magazines in& papers that clutter up the whole country by the carloads, why could not: the government put men to1 collecting it for sale back to Ihe paper boys to put in acid tanks, and save a 'ot of good standing timber? I don't expect the Social Credit government is perfect, but certainly all the others have never been perfect, either. So why not give them a chance and judge them on their merits, as so far they have had no chance. I remain sincerely yours. A- G. WATSON. 310 Observatory Street, Nelson, B. C. A Why By-Pass No. 6? '■'■. To the Editor: Sir—I would first like to say that the views expressed here are entirely my own. I noticed an article in your worthy paper recently in which it was stated that the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia had supported a proposed route through the Jumbo Pass. This is not substantially correct, and I quote from the resolution presented as follows: "Resolved that the •Provincial Government make a complete SURVEY as early in 1854 as possible." It will-be seen that this is at present a request for a survey. In the article referred to above, an alternative road was suggested, that of "South of Nakusp to Rock Island, crossing the. Arrow Lakes by bridge or ferry, through Sugar Lake and on to Vernon." For quite some time Nakusp has been pressing for' standardization, and blacktopping where feasible, of No. 6 Highway from Slocan Junction to Monashee Pass. Why in the name of conrunon sense bypass this highway, which is now a year-'round route to Vernon, and is being improved yearly? All that is required to serve the Arrow Lakes north and south Is the connecting link from Edgewood to Robson, etc. It is inevitable that In our march of progress a few wiil be hurt. This always happens; so we have to consider the adage, "The greatest good to the greatest number." ' I am refninded that we are in danger of committing the error that the late'Hon E. Carson accused us of; namely, "We do not know what we want." Having therefore already decided th the obvious route to press for, let us at least be consistent and stay with it,. not jump ■ fom one route to another willy-nilly; lt will tten become a reality.

They've quite confj vlnoed themselves such a split is coming—that it can't ba I far'off. ..'.. . , : : ' I Every now tnd then, as legislative debate proceeds, the Oppositionists think they see such' a split opening up. Howf ever,, so far their fond politi- cal hopes are soon dashed. There's a lot of talk—and hope- in Opposition ranks, that Mr. Chant md the Premier are rivals tot* Social Credit leadership in B. C. Op. posltlonists pin their hopes on Mr, Chant to lead l rebellion against Mr. Bennett, But tha day Mr. Chant got up to ■peak he wu loud ln his praise ot tha Bennett budget. A wonderful, realistic budget, said Mr, Chant, The Oppositionists hid to admit, even to themselves, md among each other, thit they could see absolutely no sign ot i break between Messrs. Chant and Bennett. Are we governed by our elooted representatives, Or is ours government by backtsOat driving? After all the trouble we went to ta elect a government to deal With the liquor question, we ilnd ourselves saddled with the decisions they should have made. Weakness in government always result! in turmoil, and we have it Here are reports token from i Vancouver piper On the plebiscite proposals in Kamloops, Trail Ind Kelowna: In Kamloops they held a meeting "at which,personalities became involved, charges ahd counter-charges were aited, and tempers flared." After two hours of the seO-llw battle between wets and dryj, between those wanting I plebiscite On tour counts and those wanting no plebiscite'at all, or one that would include the four types of outlets in the Liquor Act, one member of the audience suggested a show of hands to indicate preference. He was howled down. Trail City Council is in a quandary over the forthcoming liquor plebiscite and a succession of delegations. They even had to retire to locked room in order to unscramble -their thoughts. Monday night's group presented a petition suggesting three alternatives. The first was to put the question Of beer sales back into the plebiscite end al|ow citizens tp vote on them. The second railed for elimination of seotion d of the plebiscite referring to cocktail bars. Third was to drop the plebiscite altogether, Irt Kelowna the Jaycees criticized the methods used by canvassers to Obtain signatures to a petition authorizing a local liquor plebiscite, because Ope canvasser Slid the Signature was far i "good Oause" anil nothing mora, In mother one thi signature pas per wee folded so as to hide the title. O.no canvasser treated the matter "as ■ joke" and the voter wis told he "could see what he hid signed after ho had signed lt." ' From all this it would appear that a liquor plebiscite does hot bring out all that Is best and noblest in men, so perhaps lt would be as well if we had no plebiscite her*. Besides, they cost money—and there are countless other things we would I rather spend the money on. . Capital MeiiriO' CCF Mr. Howard ot Skeena noted one day that SC Mr. Tlsdlllo of Saanich had Slid there's no longer any need tor an Opposition in the Legislature, now thit B. C. has ■ SC government. Maybe Mr. Tlsdalle thinks thit. but Mr. Howard doesn't, Mr. Speaker! If ever the people of B. C, need an aleit Opposition, that time is now, To Mr. Howard—bo he said— SC backbenchers are nothing but a bunoh of remote-control robots— and, considering that, a good Opposition is more necessary than ever, Mr. Speaker! SC Mrs. Lydla Arsons, who runs a restaurant In Victoria, likes to lecture MLAi on the kind of food they should eat to remain healthy. , Mrs, Arsens Insists tea many , people thill days aro taking foods thit the says poison them.

Arsens, and It seemed she glared at the plump, bold ones, And while the Was ibout It, Mrs, Arseni took ■ whaok it olgr, ■rette smokers, particularly women, and mothers, Mrs, Arseni admitted shi can't abide a mother with a olgantti In her mouth and a bnhy In her-arms. Horrified, too, wis Lydll ll ahe viewed Canada's booze bill. Shi came up with the startling figure that each Canadian drinks 20 bottles of hard liquor • year. "I'm not doing my share," said Liberal Mr. Gibson of Lillooet. , Mrs. Arsens, who was once a Liberal, and then flirted with the CCF, before going SC, Is now a super- enthusiast kind of Social Credlter. She likes to go after the Liberal MLAs, telling them what a terrible government the Liberal government in Ottawa is—or so she thinks. . Liberal MLAs don't like hearing up to an apex and was evidently the inner shell of the true roof of the house. There was no furniture ot any sort, and the accumulated dust of years lay thick upon the floor. "Here you are,' you see," said Sherlock Holmes, putting his hand against the eloping wall. "This is a trapdoor which leads out on to the roof. I cm press It back, and here is the roof itself, sloping at a gentle angle. This, then, is the wly by which Number One entered. Let us see it we can find some other traces of his individuality}" (To Be Continued) Mrs. Arsens talk this way, and they try to trip her up, but Mrs: Ara|. ens isn't easily tripped up. "Get j Social Credit government ln Ottawa and we'll show them whit we can do," says Mrs. Arsens. Everything, io Canada: that'i wrong, In Mrs, Arsens' opinion, could quite easily be fixed up, Howt By having a SC government in Ottawa, Mr. Speaker. If a as simple is that. That's Mri. Arsons' firm political conviction. SC Mr. Bite of Point Cray his taken to sniping ot Opposition benches. Thla has annoyed Liberal Mr. Brown of Prince Rupert, who. called Mr, Bate a menace, and asked Mr. Speaker to please silence him. However, Mr. Bate refuses to be silenced,". ■ ,'','.:,■;' ' WRONQ BOOIT The Opposition wants SC Mr. Wllllston of Fort George as the Minis- ter of Education.

SAYS GIB THREATS WORRY BRITAIN NEW YORK (CP) - The New York Times says Wednesday in a Madrid dispatch that British authorities in Gibraltar have expressed "deep concern" oner the possibility of "serious incidents" during the Queen's visit May 10. The Madrid story says exceptional steps are being taken at Gibraltar, at the southern tip of Spain and overlooking the straits dividing the Atlantic and Mediterranean, to tighten security measures. "The British preoccupation lies mainly In that underground organizations opposing the Spanish government or merely 'anti-British hotheads' conceivably might seize that occasion to endanger the Queen's safety by some Irresponsible acts that would lead to a grave crisis In British Spanish relations," the dispatch adds. "These relations already are BLAMING LETTERS The possibility of trouble already has beeii indicated by a number of threatening letters received last week in London saying the Queen would be in danger if she landed at Gibraltar. Some Spanish elements have long agitated for the return of the rock fortress, a British stronghold since 1703, to Spain.

Buiineis Spotlight;..r PROPHETS OF DOOM SCOFFED AT BUSINESSMEN By FORBES RHUOE Canadian Preu Business Editor Industrialists do not share tht views of the "prophets of doom," says Industrial Canada, published by the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, ln its March Issue.' The comment is made in connection with a nine-page listing of ex- panslon pf plants and establishment of new plants in Canada ih 1053, and in the flrat two monthi of 1094. , In all ln 1053, tha magazine's rec, brds show 303 plant expansions and 100 new industries: second only to 1091 whloh saw 443 expansions and 08 new industries. Industries using natural re sources and primary products lead the way, with pulp and paper smelting and refining, gasoline and oil, hydro-electric power and wheat In the forefront. Greenshields and Company, Montreal Investment house, also takes an optimistic view in its cur rent letter. It says, ln part: "Some months ago, when most economic indicators Were advancing, stock averages dipped to the year's low, an indication that the market was anticipating some readjustment in business conditions. IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTED "Present firmness, undoubtedly, is traceable to current easier money conditions, but lt could also very well be a sign that the market ia again guessing correctly, and an Improvement in business conditions Is ln the offing. "Apart from the market's action, there are considerations which preclude one from taking a too-dim view of the present economic situation. "For Instance, It should be remembered that current figures are being compared with the all-time- high levels of 1093 and that by any other standard, most of the figures are satisfactory. "There la' no Indication of any significant decline in consumer spending, and government expenditures will remain at. about last year's level." Consider Kinescope Hockey Broadcasts OTTAWA (CP)—The possibility of making a filmed version of National Hockey League playoff games for showing to Canadian servicemen is being investigated by the CBC. '' The publicly-owned corporation Wednesday announced that its regular radio rebroadcast of semi-final and final games will be made to troops serving in Europe and the Far East. Broadcasts heard ln Canada are recorded and rebroadcast overseas. Differences in time zones make direct broadcasts impossible. Ron Fraser, CBC public relations director; said CBC technicians are investigating whether a kinescope— a film and sound recording made directly from television broadcasts —of the games can be made for showing overseas. If the plan proves workable, tha kinescope would probably be flown overseas. DEATHS London—Sir Nelson King Johnson, 62, former president of , the World Meteorological Organization.
