Mr. Caouette apparently is an orator who prefers to speak first and think afterwards. Somewhere else in all this melange is Robert Thompson, the nominal lead- er of the whole crew nationally, who is a funny-money Social Crediter with- out any marked ability to make clear to others what he is talking about. Put a Liberal or a Conservative in any other part of Canada but his own and he can find reasonably close kin- ship with others of the same party around him. The same used to hold true for members of the CCF, and now even those of the NDP may find some common ground of belief. But relocate a Social Crediter and he will die from homesickness.

But somecne must be enjoying the satisfaction of having planted the seed that, Dr. Kelsey nur- tured so wisely. Another example of useful letter writing is recalled by The Portland Oregonian. It con- cerns an investigation which disclosed corrup- tiun in the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs that was sprrked by a letter to the editor of that newspaper. — The Prince George Citizen Turn welfare into wages At the present time, a federal law prevents putting welfare recipients to work, However, there are strong indications that Ottawa will study the problem with a view to rescinding the Jaw. Most men unable to find work are not con- tent merely to exist on government charity. They do nol want to Jive useless, pointless lives as veretables in the care of the state. Conercte plans are still to be drafted, but the senior government would likely provide “welfare” jobs ii work that otherwise would not be tackled. It would be neeessary to avoid cut- ting into the flelds of those already employed, But by putting these people Lo work, Canada would stand to gain in two important ways: The taxpayers would pet dividends on thelr welfare ‘investment’, and a preat many men would regain selfrespect. -- The Vancouver Province The word is that Canada is up for sale rl by DAVID GRENIER f Toronto Telegram News Service ' The word seems to be petting around that One school af thought takes Che “there- rPCrade is up dor sate, hist, at least, 18 the ought-to-be-a-law" dine, And there's a prece= Jimpres con lert by the series of takeover bids dent for this in the legishition allowing Cann- ride recently Jor Canadian companies, .

TALE ‘OF A TOTEM By SIMON. WRIGHT of Kispiox translated by ARTITUR HANKIN of Hazelton as told ts STAN ROUGH of Kitimat In the village of Kuldo (Wil- derness) on the upper Skeena River lived a man by the name of Soueygoush or Quick Wol! who had a beautiful daughter. He also had a violent temper. Many men from other villages longed to marry the girl but when they asked for her, the father’s rage, followed by phy- sical violence, drove then away. There.was every indica- tion that the maiden was de- stined to remain single and die an old maid, a fate that has been feared by young women from time immortal At. the village of Kispiox ‘Hiding Place), 60 miles down the Skeena a young man Nusch or Fireweed had heard of: the girl’s great beauty and charm and he was determined to seek | her as his wife. One day he ar- rived at Kuldo and made his way to the house of Souey- goush and announced in a loud voice that he had come tu claim the girl as his wife. This bold challenger infuri- ated Soueygoush and he rush- ed from his house to send this rew suitor on his way... M tc his. amazement the young: man showed no sign of fear and faced the irate father. Such courage completely mys- tified Soueygoush and = after making threats and threaten- ing gestures, he entered his house and after stripping off his clothes laid down by the fire, Nusch followed him inside and taking a log of wood threw it on the fire. The sparks and burning embers fell on the naked body of Soueygoush but - he never moved or gave any sign that he felt any pain as he wanted to demonstrate to the young man that he too was brave and fearless. Then he gave Nush permission to marry his daughter. ¢ The Skeena froze and the salmon came up the river when Soueygoush announced to his tribesmen that he would lead a@ war party against the “Underground People” to the North, The warriors set up a camp away from the village and daily bathed in the river and at times drank a brew made from the bark of the devils club bolled in water to purify themselves. They also herformed feats of strength to strengthen their bodies and practiced with thelr bows and arrows, spears and clubs. They ulso went Into the forest and Into the mountains to come mune with the spirits so that their will to conquer thelr enemies wauld be strong. This period of physical and spirite Wal preparation lasted a year” before the war party Wits Yei dy Por caer ts tenement eine nas \ ‘ w ws . qty eon ta ones eee meet eeueae we so gegen penmeeapesmnn nee ence cotgentathane ame ae te ic. raid their enemy. The war party started out with Soueygoush in charge and his son-in-law Nusch second- in-command. They had only proceeded a short distance when in the front of the war party a martin ran up a tree. Various members of the party climbed the tree and endeavor- ed to capture the martin alive witheut. suecess. Finally it was Nusch's turn. He climbed the tree and quickly captured the martin. This proved to all he was quick and clever. In the morning they saw a semi- human creature above them. Scueygoush was the only one who was willing to meet this apparition and he climbed the tree and killed the creature. The party pushed on and came to a large lake on which the wind rippled the water. They were now approaching the territory of the “Under- ground People”. Soueygoush talked to the sun and made a wish that he should capture one of the “Underground Feople”’. The next day the wish was fulfilled and one of the enemy was captured,” * Soueygoush questioned the srisoner carefully and learned all about the habits and ent- rances to the homes of the “Underground People”. So strong was Soueygoush’s power that the prisoner, when releas- ed, returned to his people without giving them warning that an enemy was close at hand, The next day the attacking party took their position mong the rocks in .the box canyon in which the “Under- ground People” lived. They were soon detected but so strong was Soucygoush’s power that the “Underground People” thought that their eyes had deceived them and that the invaders were moving rocks _ and they returned to their un- derpreund village. Then Soueygoush dressed himself in the skin of the grizzly bear that the expedi- tion had killed and approach- ed the village, bnmediately the people poured out of their eaves and rushed towards the supposed bear to Kill it, Then Soueygoush and hig men, when the “Underground People" had left the protection of their caves, rose up from amone the rocks and crushed to the attack, Caught by sur- prise, many of the warriors of the “Underground People" were killed and only a few eseaped Into thelr caves deep under- ground, The warriors took the wo- men oand ehildren back to Kuldo «us slaves, The Double-Cross main being c opyright: At lunch, one of the four of us, partly of French descent, Canada Wide his grandmother having been a French-Canadian, was very amused at the outbreak of one of the party against new Cana-~ dians in general, and those who had” lately moved next dgor to him, The outbreak was inspired by the presence, at the next tuble to us, of a merry gy group of blond men and women who were talking | in a foreign ton-j gue. Yet, by their dress and general; attitude, they were} certainly Cana-} dians very much at home. ‘It’s a fine thing,’ said our protesting members, “to have to listen to some foreign jabber next door, and then sit next to it at lunch! Wherever you go, these days, there is somebody chattering away unintellig- ibly.” “Now you can appreciate,” said the smiling one with the ¥rench-Canadian grandmo- ther, ‘the feelings of the French in Canada when they saw their beautiful vast do- taken over by 3 a AS SIMPLE AS UOA10+9 RELAXING'S THERE'S SQ MUCH TO ENJOY ABOUT THIS LIVELY, FLAVORFUL LAGER BEER. va.cksack Od of oF ok in an unintelligible tongue, It will be good for Canada if you people have to aceustom your- selves to what our first plon- ecrs had to accept.” Naturally, nobody thought of what the Indians must have felt. quote, unquote American Metal Market: “In choosing the path of im- port restrictions and orthodox fiscal reform, Canada in effect takes a restrictionist view of her economic prospects. It is a harsh but realistic action. And it points up the dilemma fac- ing the Kennedy Administra- tion. Shoring up the U.S. dol- Jar abroad may mean the a- cuption of domestic fiscal poli- cies which essentially are non- expansionist for the near term. The dilemma is as cruel as any that has faced the U.S, in the post-war years.” + + + Rev.
