MAGOR President Authorized as Second Class Mall by the Post Office Department, Ottawa and for payment of postage in cash TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1963 Concrete for grass—think again council! Wo weeks ago The Daily News pub- ‘lished a proposed parking layout fow-the new city hall — the present federal building on Third Avenue. This plan showed 32 proposed parking Spaces on the north and east sides of the property, provided in part through a enlarged lane and the elimination of the: flagstaff lawn. The Garden Club has asked that the latter be retained for garden purposes, and it is to be hoped that City Council will give seri- ous consideration to this request. There are two major reasons why the city should think twice before turning this into concrete. We have been given to understand that 13 spaces are sufficient for the RCMP and city hall adminstrative employees. The rest, presumably, would be for city hall general employees, and the public doing business at the city hall. On top of this we have 10 or 12 spaces along Third Avenue for public use. It would appear, from present re- quirements, that there is ample space for-both purposes without destroying the lawn and all hope of future orna- mental development of this side, mere- ly to provide seven or eight car spaces. The Italo - Canadian Club, as we have seen, has made a magnificent contribution to this block and indeed the appearance of the entire city downtown area, with its plaza and fountain. Retention of an equal space on the other side of the building al- lows the opportunity for a balanced scheme at some future date. We realize, of course, that the provision of downtown parking is a pressing problem, but it must be re- membered that the property on which the present city hall now stands will become a parking area, and the oppor- tunities for more parking are still to Doubt Socreds to By RONALD COLLISTER OTTAWA (TNS) — The big Socred party has been caused by the conflict over this ques- be fully explored. Our main point is, though, that we hope Prince Rupert will not follow in these early stages of downtown development the mis- takes made by other cities which now are struggling to make oases in con- crete deserts. The parking on Third Avenue should be ample for all city hall cus- tomers. After all, it has sufficed for the post office and other government offices in the federal building which have had a much greater density of patrons than ever the city hall had. We would also question the need for providing immediate parking for all members of the city hall staff. The great taxpayers of this city, ie, the businessmen, do not have this privil- ege of employee-parking in front of their premises. This brings us to another point, which is, that Prince Rupert’s motor- ing public generally will have to ad- just to the idea of parking their cars and walking a few blocks to business places. Up to now they have become accustomed to tumbling out of their cars and right into our business places. In very few other towns is this possible, and parking meters are no solution to the problem. Leading this conscious effort to park away from their immediate businesses should be the business and professional people themselves, in order to clear the way for their clients and customers that are bringing the economic lifestream to the city. The city hall therefore should be a leader and example of this philoso- phy. To conclude, we feel that it is shortsighted to go to the expense of turning this piece of potentially-at- tractive garden into a slab of concrete merely to find parking for seven more cars, last session as unit Thompson could be expect- ed to parlay his support for — PRINCE RUPERT DAILY NEWS — 1963 | of Prince Rupert and Northern and Central British Columbia, A member of the Canadian Press — Audit Bureau of Circulation WAI PETA a y { “HOW'S ABOUT 22 ORBITS ARO baie i ee ND OUR LITTLE WORLD. .?” The PACKSACK Hardly a month goes by that somebody doesn’t publicly pe. wail the absence of Canadian culture, It is usu- ually a little hard to figure out which culture they have in mind.

Speech from. the Throne was the Pearson Gov- ernment’s acute awareness of living “in times of great change throughout the world.” The stress in the blueprint for legislative and administra- tive action is on adjustments to changing or already chang- ed conditions both without and within Canada. The document riakes it clear that the Government is not thinking in terms of some drastic break with the past. The changes it proposes to make in our externa: and do- mestic policies are to be grad- ual, persevering what is sound in established traditions and practices, bul opening new av- enues where our progress has been hindered by obstinate ad- herence to outmoded concepts. WHAT ARE TH5 NEW PATHS? “Familiar ways of thought ond action,” the brief and ne- cessarily general outline of Canada’s futnre cours? states at the outset, “are becoming less certain guides. Mary old paths are no ionger open to us. The task before us is to seek out, with wisdom and imavin- ation, those new paths that will lead us surely forward.” What are these new paths hich are to be charted and- explored from the serure hase of past accomplishments? First, there is the Anglo- French foundation of Confed- eration, which is in’ urvent need of repair. The bicultural partnership which is Canada must be made “truly equal” in all aspects of everyday life if the “character and strenetn vi our nation” is to be preserv- cd. The task here is “to streng- then and to sive new direction io our Canadian confedera- tion” by fostering the spivit of “co-operative federalism,” Second, there is the conipin- A look back at Rupert (50 VEARS AGO) May 21, 1918 — “That Cap- tain Scott, Dr. Wilson and Licut.

To sum up: As far as Throne Speeches go, the new Government has not produced anything start- ingly new. But the mixture of tradition and change which permeates the generalities of the document shows a promise of departure from stereotype routine. If pursued vigorously, the outlined program heralds a busy parliamentary session which is bound to start with a bang over defense policy.
