Murray of Prince Rupert and Atlin MLA Frank Calder got in their “two-cents worth” during the Throne Speech debate. A great deal of it was repetition particularly about construction and maintenance on Highway 16 and full liquor rights for Native Indians, However, Mi. Murray and Mr. Cal- der, both with exper ience of the men- tal dens sity of sonie of the cabinet min- isters listening: to them, realize it is only by Y epeating time and time again, simple facets thit. ‘zilmost anyone can understand, that any impression ean be made. Long before. the Alaska ferry sys- tem was announced, Premier Bennett and ‘Highways Miilister Gaglardi pro- mised that Highway 16 would be paved from. Prin e George to Prince Rupert by 1960. Today, in the late winter of 2 withthe ferry system scheduled "20! into operation next fall, High- way ¥6 still isn’t completely paved, Mr. Gaglardi has no plans for construction until further data is available. * While Mr. Gaglardi’s colleague Recreation Minister Westwood tells us how wonderful the tourist business is and how much it means to British Co- lumbia, the highways minister dilly- dallies around, checking into matters that should have been done years ago. Ww ith his perennial delaying tactics, ‘Mr. Gaglar di acts more like an op- position member than a member of the cabinet, There was no delay about the paring of the Terrace to Shames sec- wou of the highway just before an alection a few vears ago, The road was winded and the hardtop laid and oh whtt a good bunch of fellows the Soc- veds were, Now with a multi-million dollar ferry project, a tourism dream, bout to be launched within seven yonths, Mr. Gaglardi has no plans, MAY ACT EARLY Mr. Murray is right, Prince Rupert is destined to be the “Seattle of Can- ada.” His hopes parallel those of every Prince Rupert resident but the ques- tion is, when? Mr. Gaglardi appears more determined to make Kamloops the Chicago of B.C. As for both member’s suggestion that the government take over the Northern B.C. Power Company Ltd., we don’t think he has to press the mat- ter too much. If we are not mistaken, Mr. Bennett is just waiting to see how his B.C Electric take-over works out before moving in on the N.B.C, Power and the West Kootenay bight. cand Power companies. We won't even comment. on: My. Calder’s remarks about B.C. not hay- ing the legal right to present Princess Margaret with an island because the government hasn’t paid the Indians for any land yet. We’ll support Mr. Calder to the hilt on full liquor rights for Natives and full equality with other Canadians, but when he keeps harping on 100-vear-old history that has nothing to do with being a Cana- dian today, then he’s lost us. Also amazing is Mr. Caldey’s sud- den worry about the 12-mile limit and its detrimental effect on fishing. On the one hand Frank Howard, NDP- CCF MP in Ottawa is working his head off to get the government to in- stitute the 12-mile limit and Mr. Cal- der wants a second look. Seems to us they should get together. In any case, the main thing is that the Legislature heard about the north and the members know B.C. tourism and the dollars it represents is going to be impeded by a second-class High- way 16. Let’s hope some of the more persuasive members of the govern- ment can talk Mr. Gaglardi into doing something about the northern trans- provineial highway.

The five shots he fired foil- ed the robbery, but they also put holes in a kind of genftle- men’s agreement between un- armed crooks and unarmed protectors of society. The shots echoed in Parlia- ment where disturbed legisla- tors asked Home Secretary R. A. Butler, in charge of Bri- tain’s law enforcement, a con- ple of pointed questions about. gun licences. Normally, British holdups follow a “cash and grab” pat- tern. With policemen guniess, thugs descend on their victims brandishing iron bars and clubs, lay about for a few sec- onds,. and escape, they hope. Sometimes the. getaway vec- hicle is a motorcycle. KEEPS DEATHS DOWN All this may appear full of old world charm but in Britain it has managed to keep down the mortality rate among bank messengers, guards, po- licemen and innocent by- standers. But, last December, things changed. Two. stolen trucks rammed an armored car car- rying £100,000 in Wages through the dockland district of Stepney. Bight bandits wearing gas masks jumped out of the trucks and tore off the back doors of the armored car with prappling hooks. They were carryingg revolvers, but—--con- forming with tradition--the puns were imitations, When the doors sprang open, guard Piel a : ire Frederick Digh- ton, 48, opened up from the inside with a .22-calibre re- volver. He winged a bandit in the shoulder. One of the outraged thues yelled ‘“‘they’ve got guns,” and the raiding party retreated in confusion, CARRIED FOR YEARS A subsequent newspaper in- quiry disclosed that the bank company involved in the pay- load has been equipping its guards with guns “for many years” although this was the first time one of them had been forced to use firepower. Among the critics the chief of a big British security agen- cy who said: “We believe that the carrying of lethal wea- pons by guards places them and the public in jeopardy.” The Guardian of Manches- ter commented: “There is no place for private armies ‘in 2 civilized community.” The Way of Hills A hill is not an always thing, Painted, never varying.

There were dozens of them. They were called barber shops, of course, but bore lithe or ny resemblance to the poor litite bar. one-horse, hair-cutting ber shops of today. They were biusy¢ from morning to! night, and I meang night, which was 10 p.m., attending | to the facial orn-} amentation and} glamorization of! men, Not som men, but nearly gy. ; all men. It was the days of straight razors; and — every- body from hod earriers up to bankers with a dime to spare went to the barber to be shav- ed, shampooed, massaged with miagenta creams, a long, lovely leisurely progression of steam- ing towels, head-ducks in mar- ble basins, dreamy wobbles of the scalp, fragrant manipula- tion of the facial miuseles, tonicked, scented and finally powdered, With the ticrs of shelves of gilt-inseribed mugs, the nickel plated massage ma- chines, the mirors, the male beauty salons of 50 years ayo were much more spectacular than the female beauty par- lors of today. The single female beauty parlor of those days was pat- ronized only by the thin top layer of the ultra-fashionabic ludics. They were said to have their faces “enamelled,” were unable to smile. The gen- erality of girls and women. in 1900, had to be beautiful na- turally. No faking. The lighter side A litle boy strayed away fr om. his father at a carnival and got lost.
