Work has never been resrmed, The PNR to all intents and purposes died officiully in the B.C. Legislature on March 28, 1962. Due entirely to the Social Credit government’s lack of honesty in the PNR matter, more than 1,200 men registered for work on the railway at All Aboard | with G. E.

Then one morning we found time to start work on the model. The hull came in two rets, aircraft cranes. We had only two gun-tur- rets in place when the tetc- phone rang. Somebody want- ed to see me in town, “We'll put away the = ship in this tray,” I sald. “These sides on the tray will stop any ! of the parts from falling off.” Days went by, and John ask- ed me to help make the made! ship. But it happened that I was busy again. . He asked me Several mare times, The instructions were rather too complex for a nine- year-old to follow on his own.

Yet there may be grounds for hopes. Despite the scars of a bitter 714-year war, despite unspeakable atrocities, despite the daily exodus of Europeans whose skills are sorely needed in the new Algeria, there is just a possibility of a fenu- ine reconciliation between the two communities. It is perhaps not wholly far- fetched to imagine that this shotgun wedding, achieved «af- ter such heartbreak and des- pair, may finally end happily— more or less—-ever after, fo de he There has always been an element of love-hate in the relationship.

France has given so much of itself in good and in evil, has suffered so much from atroci- ties it had committed or al- lowed to be committed. has be- come so impregnated by its subject civilizations, that peo- ples emerging from its tute- lage see it in a special light. Daniel writes. “Thus the rape of Algeria has involved a cruel yet pas- sionate embrace, and a kind of union has been imposed.” fe feo Much now depends on the Moslems. So far they have shown an almost saintly re- straint under extreme provo-~ cation. But every Moslem fam- ily has been deeply affected by the long strugyle, and the temptations for vennennce may be too powerful to resist.

Actually, of course, the vast majority of the people who came to Canada at the time our towns and cities were being founded had never seen a city, and few cf them a town of any aceount. They were hill-billies. In the late seventeen hundreds and early eighteen hundreds, they were, in a large measure, refugees from the rebellious States, where there wasn't much to be seen in the way of noble edifices, and refugees from the wars and depressions that beset Britain and Europe.
