K. NESBITT can’t go to the government as long as it sits all the time in far-away Victoria. It’s a good idea the Premier has. Victoria, while certainly the capital, isn’t the only place of importance in BC. There are some Victorians, however, who, every time they hear of a cabinet meeting out- side Victoria, get the jitters for fear the gov- ernment is thinking of moving the Parliament Bulldings away. If that ever happened, of course, Victoria might just as well fold up--and = Victorlans know It. However, it’s not likely to happen. Victoria has heen the capttal of British Columbia since 1868, and it’s likely to remain the capital, even though jit would be more convenient to most British Columbians If Jt was somewhere in the eastern Fraser Valley, perhaps even in the Okanagan, S00 MRR Re Tear meg mentee tee Ree Poh An elaborate new Centennial Fountain 3} belng built at the back of the Legislative Bullding--lo harmonize with the imposing ete ne eee wvweeve — 1958 . upon the economy srthan dn Vancouver, ‘wt However, the government is hard-hbolled, as jdt should be; the government knows you can't : “nplease overyone, that there are bound to be i |'spollaports and sore heads and sour grapes; in vethis ease, tho government has done its best, 4, nd It looks Uke a pretty good itinerary, Cer- ‘tainly, Princess Margaret will see a great deal "of British Columbla—far more than her slater, + the Queen, when, ag Princess Elizabeth, Her ''Majasty waa here in 19651, far more than hor «parents, King George VI and Queon BWizaboth, when Thelr Majestios came to B.C. in 1039, south facade of the Library--Archives wing, opened In 1913 by the Duke of Connaught, son of Queen Victoria, and then governor-goneral of Canada, This was the site where stood the “birdenge" — the first legislative bullding of the Crown 2alony of Vancouver Tsland, bit in 1850, and destroyed by Mre last year, On the fountain, it’s to be hoped, will be a plaque telling of the “birdeago"—and Ita sly nifleance In the legislative and demoerntic life Of British Columbli.

Le boty -oo4s ru hehe re AR ae Myer Pap re fat Od iN re Les ent mast voted yan ete antes The most important news on Parliament Hill this week was the announcement that the budget will be {}ksented on June 17th, at 8:00 pm. The budget is the best kept secret of any. Everyone of the cab- inet and department officials are sworn to absolute secrecy and must not reveal to any- one what the contents of the budget are. In fact, Finance Ministers in the United King- dom have been Known to re- sign because advance news of the contents of the budget have leaked cut. Part of the reason for this secrecy is that the budget has such an important impact of the country. Well healed finan= ciers could make millions of dollars by having advance in- formation. For instance, if any announcement is to be made regarding the rate of exchange between Canadian and United States money, and someone knew of this before hand he could easily buy up American or Canadian dollars await the official announcement, and then cash in. It’s something like getting a “sure tip” on a horse race (if there is such a thing). Another interesting develop- ment was the debate on the establishment of NORAD. NO- RAD is the Canadian-Ameri- can integrated air defence command for North America. As pointed out in this column previously there was much confusion and miswnderstand- ing about NORAD. We have not completed the debate, but every one who wanted to has spoken and it just remains for the Prime Minister to wind-uy the debate by speaking | last. fvery Newspaper man to whom TI spoke said that they are no wiser now than they were before the debate start- ed. Our only hope is that the Prime Minister will clear up the still remaining confusion, Some of you may wonder why I didn’t rise to speak on a particular Bill whieh was before the House on Thurs- day. This Bll had to do with the curtailment of railway service, such as the recent re- moval of passenger service from the Kitimat-Terrace run of the CNR. This was a private member's bill and there was i: time limit placed on the dis- cussion of It. If the bill were under discussion at the explry of the time then there would be no vote on it. I discussed this with other members who had similar problems and we decided that it would be bat- ter to have a vote on the bill than to delay the passage of It. Tf jt had been delayed there Is every possibility that It would not come up again at this session, Well, there was a vote and the bill was defeated, hy every povernment member voting against it, I We have heen partially sue- cessful Ino our fight to have Nighway 16 deolared part of the proposal for the Second Trans Cannan, . In a previous column I men tloned that thera was an ord panization In Baskatoon that’ was promoting such a high- wily, but that they left Wgh-' way 16 out of the pieture, T Immedintely wrote to the organization protesting this overdght. Ag a result, reply that. T recelved recently stated that they were sorry ahout this oversight and that they would take steps to correct it. In fact, the letter said that they had, as a result of my sending copies of my letter all over the country, received let- ters from Kitimat and Smi- thers to the same effect. Suc- cess often comes as a resuit of hard work. In conjunction with chambers of commerce. boards of trade, municipali- ties, and any other interested organizations and persons wé intend to keep up this fight for a Second Trans-Canada highway so that our part of the province may enjoy some of the benefits of an integrat- ed highway system. ‘ ‘ Looking ahead earns right to look behind-~ From The Vaneouver Sun Some menn little prejudices should run away and hide for- ever after these words by Na- natmo'’s Judge Arnold Hanna ab oa eltizenship ceremony fn Campbell River: “You need now torvet your native lands so long as you are loyal to Canada” ‘rhis simple but splenetid sentiment. the judge expressed to three new “eitizens © trom Italy, one from Alsace-Lor- raine, another from West: Ger- many and one from England ,LETTERBOX The Editor, The Daily News, I would like through = the medium of your paper to ex- press my thanks to,the staff of the Prince Rupert General Hospital for the excellent care IT received durtng mys recent illness. ‘ Shortly afler. arriving in Prince Rupert for a holiday, I was taken ill and Hospitalized, Needless to say I had apre- hensions as I was a complete stranger to the city and un- aware of your fine medical fachlities.
