AYRES Managing Editor the Post Office Department, Ottawa TN co WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1962 “Nass road merits appreciation courtesy to the public which in our opinion has, not received sufficient acknowledgment is, that extended by Columbia Cellulose in allowing motor- ists to use its road from Tertace to the. Nass river during non-working hours. This scenic, and in places spectacu- lar, stretch of logging thoroughfare opens up a_ section. of | countryside which: until] now has béen little known even to those living on its border. Winding northward past Lava lake, green as pea soup, through thé strange furrowed plain of lava deposit and on to the cur ving shore of the Nass with its mountainous backdrop, the road creates a travelling’ experience that must be unique to any visitor. For hunters and fishermen, too, it. has made.accessible a virtually “unexploved area of enjoyment. In permitting public use of its road, Columbia Cellulosé is .performing a service to this north country that goes considerably beyond what. it contrib- utes in the form of industrial output. Scenic pleasures for the traveller are often overlooked when it comes to list- ing our most impor taunt assets, yet for variety and magnificence our land- scape surely has few equals. Little by little appreciation of this fact is tak- ing shape as conditions improve along Highway 16 and now in opening its road to the Nass, Columbia Cellulose has added a completely new. and ex- 2iting extension to the route that the sraveller may follow. Naturally there must alwz ays be restrictions on the use of this: ‘Youd. It was built for company operations and any pleasure that it gives to visitors is incidental to its purpose. In tiffie; 10W- ever, it may mean that we will become better acquainted with the Nass which, in its lonely northern course, remains almost unknown as one of the scenically g great rivers of North Am- erica. Allowing visitors along the road is company public relations at its best and is a gesture that merits the thanks of all who make the trip. _ Jirigoism goes unrestrained It is alarming, or at least disturbing, to read that’ the Cuban issue rates the . top score on applause meters being used’ in the currént U. Ss. election. Cuba, it seems, is. what the voters are: most anxious to hear about. Le This is disturbing because: ‘the’ public, de- mand, according, to many. reports, is for war- like threats, and even warlike action, against the Castro’ regime. And. candidates for seats in Congress are obligingly ‘supplying the de- mand... Canadians nave no, vote in’ ‘the! ‘elections: due a month | hence but they have. al ‘stake: in’ thé debate.

Yet Walter M. sénirrai; ‘the ninth mani to leave this planet, did so on the ‘eve’ of an ‘im- portant anniversary. Five’ yéars ago yesterday was the opening of the space agé. On that day in 1957 the Russians’ lauriched’ Sputnik I, and shocked the Western World out of its complac- ency. Since then the’ United Statés and the’ US.S.R. have tossed more than 100 satellites around the earth, two thirds of thém from American soil, Spaceships have smashed into the moon and taken pictures of it. Artificial solar planets have been launched’ and at this momerit an American craft is: speeding towards Venus, IT’S YOUR BUSINESS We're not éveri keeping edly.in a state of economic chaos, can threaten the mighty US. ., Tt is true that Russian arms, ‘and (some réports says) combat troops are now. in Cuba. But evidently. they were.sent at the requést of Castro, concerned about his. defences. That Khrushchev plans to mount a Soviet in- vasion of the U.S. from the island is a prepos- terous idéa. A more reasonable theory is that Mr. K. hag seized an opportunity to set up, in Cuba, a Communist shop window in Latin America. If. this is trué, and it would fit into Khrushchev’s definition of peaceful co-existence, the chal- lenge’ is surely‘one the U.S. could‘ accept with- _ out’ flinching. Why not a model and flourishing democratic society on the Latin American mainiand? This ‘would be a better answer to Castro than the rattling of sabres. — The Financial Post since Sputnik 1. The most rapid technological “ developnient the world has ever knowi: has been packed into these five years. The scientists of East and West have developed clectronics, rocketry and computers to their limits, and are resolved to go further if they are to land on the moon or explore the planets in the next decade. The Soviets still lead the United States in weight lifting, their biggest satellite, Vostok, being 10,000 pounds compared with Mercury at 3,000 pounds. The United States can claim the longest transmission of radio signals from space ever achieved, from 22.5 millicdh miles in space. The Russians outpaced U.S. with the three and - four- day orbits of Popovitch and Nikolayev, Mankind has made a stupendous advance in these short five years. The tragedy is that the space race is utter the more threats. — The Vancouvers Provineé Say Lesa a By DAVID GRENIER Toronto Telegram News Service Oey! “This group has to go!

The reason for the: “; suspension is the ticklish ‘situ- “the “T”" to “T” in the., House ties being in the minority. The Tories have 115 voting - MP’s. The Tories are deathly afraid of an election and there- their members present to stave off defeat in the House. The Liberals have 100 mem_ claiming that ~ they want an election at any time regardless of the conse- quences to the country. Their members are therefore re- quired to be in the House. The Socreds have 30 mem- bers, don’t want an election either and have made a ‘he- hind the scenes deal’ with the Tories to support.them in ecx- change for the Tory sellout of Canada's power interests, They need every member in the House. , We in the New Democratic Party have 18 members. We don’t particularly want an election, but will not run away from it. We want to buttress our program in the House with every member available, There- ‘fore we have €ull attendance, Recently there were three divisions in Parliamnt, On the first of these, a vote on a So- cred Throne Speech amend- ment, we set a record. brought about by each’ of the four par-. Every Member of Parliament was in attendance. Parliamentary ob. servers who have been here for donkeys years cannot recall that ever happening’ before. The vote was 233 to 30. This makes 263. The other two votes are accounted for by Mr. Spea- ~ ker who does not vote and by the vacant seat in Burnaby- Coquitiam. We had two other votes a few days later and this time there were five absences, The votes were on Liberal and New Democratic amendments. In these cases the Socreds sup- ported the Tories; the Liberals and New Democrats joined forces to vote no confidence in the government. The results on each vote was 140 to 118. The five absent members were Socreds. These last mentioned votes were the c@ucial ones and in- dicate, to me at least, that we will not have an election he- fore next spring. Another thing: will flow from this. Now that the tension has subsided and the pattern set we can expect the: “T" to °T” club to come back into exist- ence. That will be a shame for it will mean that members will not be paying attention to the things which they are getting paid for, The lighter side At the beacn “We're getting nearer the’ water.” . : “How can you tell?” . “I’m stepping on more peo- ple.” ee Fok A gym instructor advises some business men patrons to pull their. paunches instead of their punches. wee .
