1910 — PRINCE RUPERT DAILY NEWS — 1962 An independent newspaper devoted to the upbuillding of Prince Rupert and Northern and Central British Columbta., A member of the Canadian Press — Audit Bureau of Clreulation Canadian Daily Newspaper Publishers Association Published by The Prince Rupert Dally News Limited JOHN F. MAGOR President J. R. AYRES Managing Editor ; (> Authorized as Second Class Matl by the Post Office Department, Ottaws FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1962 Swimming pool giving full value t seems only yesterday we were writ- ing editorials urging volunteers to turn up at the site of the Civie Centre swimming pool to help finish the part- ly constructed building. Actually it is more than four years ago. Since the pool was opened in November, 1959, young Prince Rupert swimmers have broken 27 Canadian swimming: rec- ords, scores of children have learned to swim and hundreds enjoy swim- ining weekly. This weekend, the Prince Rupert Swim Club’s aequatic stars will again launch an assault on Canadian swim- ming reeords and we confidentially predict that at least half a dozen pre- vious marks will fall. . Right now, there are half a dozen record holders among our city young- sters with seven or eight more ready to take part in time-trials to see if earlier times can-be bettered. Next Wednesday, the’ swim club will send 17 entrants to the Vancouver Amateur “Magic carpet” rolled out for highways minister “Highways Minister Phil Gaglardi had the “carpet” rolled out in his honor for his drive from Smithers to Hazelton for the Associated Chambers of Commerce meeting on Highway 16 at the InJander Hotel on Monday of last week. Mr, Gaglardi and Hon, Ray Williston, Minister of Lands and Forests and Water Resources, ar- rived at Smithers Airport and were driven by Dudley Litlle, MLA for Skeena. in spite of the spring breakup the road was, in many opinions, “in the best condition it ever has been”, Graders and other equipment, in- cluding hand shovels and brooms, we are given to understand, were worked overtime by high- way department crews to attain this condition. Smithers delegates attending the meeting ALL OVER 68 YEARS OF AGE Havoc could follow deaths of most world bosses Swimming Club's Invitational Swim meet, the largest number yet. The big- gest team to compete before this was made up of a total of nine. Tomorrow night our swimmers will try to break 10 records at a swim meet and at further time trials Sunday they will go after another 14 records. It takes money to send athletes out of town to compete against the best of other centres and public support is not only necessary but well-deserved. We once said that if one child was saved from drowning by learning to swim at the Civie Centre swimming pool, then the building was worth it. Thanks to the Civie Centre pool’s staff and helpers that voal has been accom- plished and has gone far beyond. Both Saturday’s mect and Sunday’s time trials are open to the public. Go down to our wonderful pool and watch the youngsters race against the stop watch. It’s worth it, not only for the fun and excitement but because it’s a good deed. driving just ahead of the car in which the min- isters were riding, met no less than two graders, 10 trucks cf varying type, and a pickup vehicle towing a rotary brush. The latter had been used to sweep the blacktop clear of debris. In addition men were seen cleaning the Htter of cans, bottles and whatnot out of the ditches. And a survey crew was at work resurveying for a new road location in the Bulkley Canyon. One life-long CCF supporter gct quite a Kick jut of cleaning off the highway signs and re- placing old ones with new. One thing about it, the motoring public was appreciative of the improved highway condi- sions while it lasted. ; — Smithers Interior News By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON —- The elderly and the aged — with the exception of President Kennedy — are leading the world. Kennery, at 44, is the only major world leader under 68. The rest range up to West Germany’s Chancellor Adenauer, 86. When they pass from the scene the world will be in for some rearranging that may make these dnys, disturbed as they are, look tranquil by comparison, . Here are some of the other leaders and their wes und the problems their passing can. bring: Premier Khrushchev, 68; Prime Minister Macmillan, 68: President de Gaulle, 71; India’s Prime Minister Nehru, 72; Communist China's boss, Mao Tse-lung, 68: Nationalist China's President.

There is no reason to think, Jude- ine from previons French history, that chaos INTERPRETING THE NEWS and civil war won't explode when he disappears, No successor is in sight. Of all these leaders, the passing of Macmil- lan in Britain and Mao in China may cause the least cammotion. te + + Britain, with its long democratic tradition, may not have much trouble replacing Macmil- lan with some one similar. The iron wills and rigid discipline of Mao Tse-tung and the men around him, developed to brilliant degree in 20 years of preparation, are what made the Communist take-over of China possible, His right-hand men will still be there when he goes. There has never boen any talk of riv- alry among his possible helrs, Perhaps the transition already has been arranged for. Adenauer has consistently steered West Ger- many Into partnership with the West and away from the Cemniumist world, THis successor, who- ever he is, may be less cnehanted with the West. Here lies the ehance that Adeninuer’s koing may shake the Western alliance to its roots As for Chiang Kai-shek, he Ws kept. alive the myth that he is still the legitimate boss af majninnd China.

All Aboard... with GE. Worlimer Among the children at a school entrance—any school in the country—you can sometimes see an angry mother marching to storm the principal’s office. ' t She stalks grimly along, clutching a handbag or a bundle of papers. Teachers observe the angry mother whirling down the cor- ridor. They feel sorry for her, and for themselves. She means trouble. Why are Sally’s marks so low? Why does Jack need to be punished so often? Why do teachers pick on him? The principal—or another teacher—tries to answer calmly. He is an expert at teaching and disciplining the young. He is also a public servant .. .a long-suffering public servant who is always being lectured, scolded and interrogated by the taxpayers. In the course of his carecr, he listens to a great number of angry mothers: Some of them have real complaints. Their visits help clear up misunderstandings. Other angry mothers are mixed-up people. They get angry with their husbands, or their bosses at the office, and they take it out on the teacher. Cy + tf I could rub a magic lamp and become a dictator with the power of making laws, I would put this one on the hooks: Parents are allowed to complain against teachers—providing that they don’t mind the teacher lodging complaints against them. Then the teacher would be able to say: “You claim we're teaching your son wrongly. Yes, we have had trouble with him, It may be our fault. On the other hand, it may be yours. So we're sending a social worker to your house to ask some questions and find ont. This is my idea, so don’t blame any teachers for it. think it would work. Co Sut.
