MAGOR President J, R. AYRES | Editor G. P. WOODSIDE General Manager Authorized as sccond cinss mail by the Post Office Department; Ottawa ! \sith due respect to Health Minis- ‘ter Erie Martin, why should British Columbia taxpayers wait for a year before learning what the provin- cial government intends to do about federal reimbursement to the Province of one-half of the costs of national hos- pital insurance? Regardless of the sum involved, and that may require time to iearn, the principle is there and it applies now. On July 1 the Domin- ion will become sponsor of the scheme, in association with such of the Prov- inces as are ready to enter into agree- ment on it. A very considerable rebate is in prospect for the provincial treas- ury out of funds to be put up by prov-. incial taxpayers as such. If this rebate, to the order of $12,- 000,000 ov so; is to be handed back to the provincial taxpayers the govern- a ~~ “FHURSDAY, JULY 3, 1958 Assurance needed ment should say so now; if for no other reason than to avoid the suspicion of attempting to pouch the rebate for other provincial needs. Only the Leg- islature can enact provincial taxation or its change in British Columbia. If an overplus occurs on any provincial tax now levied, and that is the pros- pect, cabinet action cannot alone de- vise its rearrangement . without the consent of the House. No government ean either make or unmake tax.law: What we asked, and what the public is clearly expecting, is the official assur- ance that the provincial government recognizes this refund asa rebate, and not merely as an aecession of $12,000,- 000 more to its budget. It should not take a year to say what will be done, ~The Victoria Colonist, — Proportions of force * OR many years now, statesmen have discussed “proportions of force” in their debates about international af- fairs and disarmament. It was in re- spect of “proportions of force’ that nuclear weapons were not used by either side in Korea, that the British and,.French relied on conventional neiple is simple; you don’t mroller. to crack a peanut. A ife illustration of the idea was en this week in Baltimore. John Reinhardt’s apartment was invaded by amouse. Reinhardtloaded a twelve-gauge. shotgun and prepared to destroy the invade. When he blast- ed away with both barrels, he blew -» out a wall of his apartment, was fined $125 for disturbing the peace, dis- charging firearms in the éity and pos- session of a deadly weapon. And the mouse got away. _ . Reinhardt’s story proved that many people are inclined to disregard the principle of “proportions of force.” That’s what the statesmen fear: If too many states get possession of shot- guns, they may be tempted to’ fire them at mice—and blow out the whole flimsy wall of world peace: | -—The Montreal Gazette.

We have watched at least a dozen -ambushes recently. In each a cele- _ brated bad man trained a high-power- : ‘oacning horseman and blazed away at short range. The shot proved to be no more than a sig- nal to the rider to jump off his horse, run for a convenient rock, and himself start wasting lead by the bucketful.

PICNIC AND VACATION OPPORTUNITIES By STAN ROUGH a In this article we will en- deavor to cover picnic and va~ cation opportunities in the Kitimat, Terrace and Prince Rupert areas. - You can travel from Ter- race to Prince Rupert by train and there is a-bus service be-~ tween the three towns. The trip between Terrace and Prince Rupert is one of the finest in the province, from a Scenic point of view. The road follows the Skeena, snow- capped mountains rise from the river, and the traveller is awe inspired by their beauty. Don’t miss this trip. CHECK YOUR CAR oo If you are considering doing a fair amount of car-~-jaunting in this section of. the country during the next few years, it is advisable to have a steel plate welded onto your oil pan, be- Cause all the side roads and a large section of Highway 16 is gravelied, it is better to be safe than sorry. ‘There. are between Kitimat and Terrace and few between Terrace and Prince Rupert, so be sure you have a full tank at the start of your journey. Have your raditaor, oil and tires checked. GOVERNMENT PICNIC AND CAMP SITES. Tourists should respect pri- vate property .and = private roads, and never let them- selves become a nuisance to local residents, (as I believe is happening at Lakelse, to peo- ple who own summer cotta- ges), «There are two government picnic and camp areas he- tween Kitimat and Prince Ru- pert, one situated at Lakelse has picnic tables and grills. The picnic site has a ood sandy beach. The other camp is located on the Exchamsiks River, on the Terrace-Rupert road, here there are four camping units and a number of pienie ‘sites. Both vacation spots are super- vised, and the holiday-maker is assured of comfortable ace commodation, MORE SITES NEEDED The road trom Kitimat to Prince Rupert has few places where one can pull off the road for a plenic, and more Dienie and camping sites are urgently needed. With the ever present forest. fire haz- ard and a Inrge vacation- minded population in this dis- triet, the Department of Lands and Forests face a real chal- lenge. Municipal authorities, both for the use of thelr own towns» people and — yisitors, should conslder providing pic- nie facilities within — thelr boundaries, a park bench has made many a weary traveller in the past, think kindly of the town he was visiting, MUALS AND ACCOMMODATION J would rofor you to the Northwost Travel Guide vee garding hotels. motels and restaurants, Another good way hy which to find out where to oot or stay, If you wish a clean, rasonablo pince, is to ask the ‘local service station attendant whom you patronize, or the or the Chamber of Commerc! aperotary, drug store clark, or Jtny woll-fed, respectable loak- Ing eltizen you may meet.

The town has twa theatres, and at least four good places to eat. Prince Ru- . pert is used to tourists, and knows how to cater to then. In Terrace, if you. enjoy parading up and down a main street, there is a fine one flanked with birches, these were planted by the founder of the town, the late George Little. There is a theatre, a drive-in and the Thornhill Golf course is just a few miles from the centre of the town, on the Kitimat-Terrace road. The children can see cows, horses, and chickens, this should be a special treat for the moppets of Kitimat and Prince Rupert. Terrace has a ple are friendly and helpful. .
