WOODSIDE General Manager Authorized as second class mall by the Post Office Department, Ottawa FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1958 - Help yourself, others by buying light bulbs \N Monday, in the early evening, you will heye a caller at your door. He will be either a Boy Scout or a Wolf Cub and he will have in his hand a package of light bulbs for sale. This will be “Operation Light Bulb” sponsored by the various group associations of the Boy Scout move- ment here in Prince Rupert. Profits fom the sale of the bulbs will go to the various Scout troops or Cub packs in the city. _Every householder has at one time or another found themselves without a spare light bulb in the house. Many of us have taken a bulb from a less- used light fixture and used it where we needed it. It is people like us who gave rise to the slogan “Don’t be a bulb-snatcher.”’ Here is 2 chance to stoc:, up or bulbs, to make sure you have a spate package tucked away on the shelf. Have your money ready v.iien the Scout or Cub comes calling. You will have provided against an emergency and you will have the satisfaction. that you have helped forward a good cause, Hungary marks the day CTOBER 23 was the second anni- versary of the great Hungarian uprising against Communism. It was on this day, two years ago, that the people of Budapest, notably the stu- cents, intellectuals and working men, launched the demonstrations and pro- tests that were climaxed that night by the toppling of the huge statue of Stalin that defaced the capital city. It was on Oct. 24 that Soviet tanks roar- ed. into the city, setting off a two-week battle that ended in the crushing of the Freedom Fighters before the eyes horrified, helpless world. Right now that world—at least the reé portion of it—is observing the | second anniversary of the start of the Hungarian uprising with meetings, speeches and prayers, for Oct. 23 is one of the most stirring and memor- able dates in the history of our un- happy tines, M fear of the people. It is being celebrated in Hungary, too—but in a most curiously signifi- cant manner. For the Communist satellite government of Hungary has been preparing for the day, by putting | under arrest “intellectuals and form- er members of bourgeois parties’—in other words, people in whom the spirit of liberty is so unquénchable that they might stir up trouble for the Red -overlords during these days of re- membrance, Last year, on the first ‘anniversary of the great uprising, the Budapest puppets marked the occasion in exact- ly the same manner. Thus the Communists year after year celebrate the day on which the pecy’e rose in an ironically appropri- ate manner—by demonstrating their | “_New York Herald Tribune.

Yet something like 300, 000 Canadians, compared with Britain’s 190,000 were able to retain at least $5,600 after tax.

TIME and PLACE. THE DURHAMS OF KITSELAS Editor’s Note: | Mrs. Whitiow, is the danghter of the late Charles Durham, Other stories of the old town of Kitselas will appear from time to time. In the spring of 1906, Mrs. Charles Durham gave birth to a,daughter, and as no such person as’a doctor or another white woman, was anywhere near the valley, she was at- tended to by the chief’s wife, Lizzie, who made an excellent midwife, .and was called into attendance again in 1908, when the last of the Durham children was born. The first child, Irene, was christened by Bishop Du Ver- net, on. the steamér ton,” as it was making a trip through the Canyon. The other child .was. christened at a later date, when the Rev. Thomas Marsh became mis- sionary at Kitsumkalem. Card games,. chess and drafts, were the main-divers- ions in the long winter even- ings with often one or other “Hazel- ~ By Mrs. E. M.

My wife offered her some Time magazines and some copies of the Atlantic Month- ly. The girl scanned the “Re- port on the world” section of the Atlantic with a worried look. ‘ “Vd rather have the = short ones, thank you,” she said. “I don't want to go to all the work of reading those stories,” In the end she took the long stories too, But I found it de- pressing to realize that a teen- looked upon reading as work. Those articles are writ- ten in a clear, understand able style, Reading them’ shouldn't be any more “work” than strolling to the store and back. However, the iden that any book, any long story Is a job for which you have to gather strength, and shirk If possible —that Js the Idea that alarms _ me. I like to look upon reading as an ordinary thing, Uke “ breathing or walking, a thing that you do automatically. But just as some trails are harder ta walk on than others, some books are harder to rend, It docs not follow that all walle sing or all reading ts hard work, Yet some young people —our nolghbor Js nob the only one—seemn to feel that It ds hard work. What gives rise to such an atlitude?

Quite a num- ber of homesteads were taken up between Kitselas Canyon and Néwtown. There were Ed. Erickson, who later, after he settled, managed to find a very pleas- ant and cheery wife for him- self, his brother Dave, Char- lie Hillstrom, Pete Brusk..and Gabriel Ebring. J. W. Patterson came to Kit- selas and built a small store and hotel, which were both enlarged in time for the boom when the railway construction started around there.
