Finally, the implication that every- one will benefit from this latest bit of rocketry is Russian doubletalk at its nerviest. Nobody learns anything from the Communists’ space missions until they are good and ready to give it, and so far they have not been good and ready. Looked at in this way, the Russian tactics are so ridiculous they are not - worth considering, though the achieve- © ment itself is tremendous. What does merit consideration is that not even the most stupid tricks are overlooked in this cold war if it is felt they have any chance of creating another decep- tion. The guiding thought is to estab- lish such at atmosphere of guilt and duplicity that the true purpose behind what is happening becomes unrecog- nizable. Congratulations to the Russians for what they have done must be mixed with condemnation for theiy manner of doing it. “ The cabinet changes and, as revenue minister, has been intimately involved in the preparation of Mr. Fleming's budgcts. That he has been given the arduous finance ministry must be taken as welcome evidence that he has ecmpletely recovered from the two heart attacks he suffered in May, 1961. At that time the medical verdict was that he could make a full recovery if he took a complete rest. The big, bluff maritimer should command widespread confidence in the treasury post. Wr. Fleming, who has been associated with at unbroken series of budget deficits since 1957, has becn taken off what is considered a political hot spot. He will now have an opportunity to mend his fences and restore his popularity. The change of B.C.’s Davie Fulton from jus- tice to public works will be interpreted in sev- eral ways, Some may construe it as a demotion from an important portfolio; others will regard it as inevitable when so many positions were being revised Mr Diefenbaker will meet the new Parliament with a new lineup, one that will have ils re- courees and skill tested in the minority position that the government will find itself. The September session wil) be the real arbi- ter of the effectiveness of this week's cabinet shuffle. -— The Vaneouver Province Saskatchewan’s car Insurance In the average Canadian province (except Quebec where claims and insurance rates are astronomically high), 6O cents of every dollar collected by private insurance companies is paid in claims and the remaining 40 cents is eaten up by expenses. The Consumers’ Unien Report says: "One of the reasons for this essentially wasteful and unecononie system is the Higation surrounding the private plans. Companies collect for ad- justing claims and often there are high legal costs Jor defending themmsclyes and their poliey- holders against claims.” In Saskatchewan every car is insured when the Heenee plate is issued. Than accident, both motorists are entiblled Lo collect fill damages less $200.

From the evi- dence, he had just come over a 30-mile stretch of harrow winding mountainous road from Golden, B.C., a road that the mountain dwellers take quite casually, but one that normally is a terror to the average prairie dweller, The foolish part of it was that. he took to the ditch on the first long open stretch that he had seen for miles. “Thats just if,” he said. “For miles my companion had been trying unsuccessfully to plug an electric razor into the cig- arette lighter but I didn’t dare take my eyes off the road to help him. Then we hit this Straight road and I Jeaned over to show him how. The next thing I knew we were upside down.” No matter how carefully we plan ahead to keep our record of self sufficiency intact, life has a way of taking us down a peg. The means employed can be anything from a ban- ana skin we didn’t see, to a zipper we forgot to do up, but some of the more forceful re- minders are disease, accident and death, T suspect that reason for this Nes jin the human. tendency The PACKSACK Of Gregory Clark Copyright: Canada Wide The thalidomide case, lke all other disasters, will soon retire from the publie atten- tion; bul the insatinble de- mand for comfort, ease and emancipation from the normal hardships of lfe will continue wn- abated, The une fortunate — people who took thaltido- mide wre in noB woy lo be vee proached, There ts nol one anon ws Fe who does not. now fib ae Ae aviul bimself or herself of the rmeniides of We which sclence Js constantly thinking up for. us, whether pila, wonder drugs, oy (he countless meehanien devices and gadgets, from cars wnd washer-dryers to tran- slstors In or pocket radios, Convenience, faeiity, relief, mititation are the watehwords of the eentiary Ino whieh we live.

If we could ever prove ourselves to be entirely self sufficient, we could then relieve God entirely of his re- sponsibilities. There is that within us that would like to be God --- even a little god. But it is ever so hard to pie- ture ourselves us even a little god when we've turned the car over, Or company drops in just at the moment that we've slipped on the baby’s toothing biscuit while carrying a bowl of pancake batter. The real advantage of feel- ing inadequate is that only those who feel inadequate are teachable. Those things that make us most aware of our in- adequacy are the very things that open the door for true sufficiency to enter human life. IL is when we are most aware of our need that the Master Teacher is able to vive most to us. The self sufficient never hear from Him. TIME AND PLACE.... By STAN ROUGH After several postponements, the Robinson and the Rouehs left the Kitamaat Village whart on a recent Sunday morning, for a day’s outing down Doug- las and Sue Channels. Besides the adults, two of the Robin- son children, Bonnie, aged 10 and Mark, aged 11, were along. We set up the stove and made coffee and spread @ can- vas and blankets in the net hold, and made ourselves com- fortable. Our first stop was @ small rocky island off the south end of Costi Island. We edged the McGinty close enough to step ashore on the seaweed covered rocks and af- ter wedging the anchor in a crevice, made our way to high- er and safer ground. Logs and driftwood were wedged among the rocks above high tide, in- dicating the violence of winter storms. , When you pass the island, it looks smal! and nondescrip, but once ashore, you realize that its appearance is deceiving. Its area probably is about several acres, and surprisingly enough, there is considerable soil which supports coarse grass and a profusion of columbine, wild roses, yarrow, Joe Pieweed, In- dian paint brush and choco- late lilies. Tent caterpillars were in evidence on this wind- swept Eden. We found where the sea pig- cons had nested, but the young had taken to the sea, as we saw them offshore. The only inhabitants of the island to remain, as we climber around, were a flock of crows, and their young too, were on the wing. The ladies, having col- lected plants to take home, we relurned to our boat and pro- ceeded on our way to Sue Channel. Occasionally, some- one would start a song and the rest would join in and try to harmonize. Dinner consisted of chicken stew and dumplings, chocolate cake, and what we call the “big blast, which is a combination of canned fruit, selected by voting, this one consisted of pears, Queen Anne cherries and strawberries. The elders of the party then had a sleep while Mark took the wheel, We arrived at Sue Channel, ’ troHed for salmon and fished for halibut, without success, then we began to jig for cod and landed two red. one rock which we earmarked for Davie Chow, and one salmon cod. The lide was out and we de- cided to go to Jawad River, “nossessor of cohoe salmon,” although the river is not noted for its abundance of salmon. Beside the: river is one of the finest and most sheltered Wavtart Cane As et etter en beaches in the area. The gra. vel is small and there are many pebbles that would glad- den the heart of those who make costume jewellery. Across the channel from the beach is Loreta Island whose snowca)- ped mountain can be seen from the lookout on Haigla Boulevard. The sun was warm; the sea calm, the sky blue/“gi' Gordon and I lay down and: wriggled into the gravel I{k¢ pull walruses until we were. comfortable, and fell asleep: Bonnie went in swimming and: Mark started up the oulboara motor in the canoe and did series of graceful manouvers offshore. The ladies searched for colorful pebbles and drift-. wood forms. Sena It was now time to think of starting for home, hbesidey there were signs of a storm. coming in from the southwest' but there was still one more rocky inlet to visit, Ha-Tac-Ya- Las which means, “Where. is it?” It came by its name in this manner. A group of peopi¢ were paddling up the channel one night, when they thought they heard voices calling out Ha-tac-ya-las. They searched in vain for the other peopl¢, all the time calling out to ask who they were and where they were going but to no avail. They. finally came to the conclusion the voices they had heard were from ghosts. In the morn- ing they found a stranded whale on the tiny island, which is little more than a reef. As we landed on the islagid, a squall hit us. The rain came. down in torrents, and the wind was almost gale proportions. With the storm came thunder and lightning, something usual to us. We hastily scrambled uboard the McGinty, cast ot and ran for shelter in @ near- by bay. Here we had supper and by the time the dishes were washed the storm. had passed and we were underway again. As we neared Kitamaat Vil- lage at 10:30 p.m. we noticed that there were no lights. It was then Gordon remembered he had taken the keys to the village power plant with him. By this time all our party were asleep with the exception of Gordon and myself. We woke them up and Phyllis Robjn- son and the two children went ashore. Then we again started across the bay to the Coastal wharf. Five minutes out. I asked Gordon if he had left the keys to start up the village lights. “No,” said Gordon,’ “I clean forgot.” So that is why on June 24, the lights did not go on in Kitamaat Village. voull Whe tae eee : : we vay og De ALA thea pate “Be . a just about everybody — does! embeee en t say we “MABEL, can BLACK Sos LAwEL". vs "4 4032 Thee adver teenie! ts nob gablishe ic.qule | ai , 1 publitiedt ar displayed lay Hho Liqior Contra Hoard or by the Government of Witt Columbia. *
