The only alternative Seems to lie with the organi ations

Perhaps we are being too Pessimistic; maybe the show
broke even -- but if the directors are forced to carry any
financial deficit as they did last year, there will be a new set

ound.

A Chance To Perform

Monday evening the trustees of District 27
address a public meeting in the Parish Hal] to attempt to
reach more taxpayers of ‘Williams Lake with the facts that
necessitated the consideration of a money by-law for im-
provements.

Among the audience should be “Over-taxed”,

facts about the first school by-law. public meeting will

People who would be the most embarrassed by their airing --
if there is any basis of truth in them.

The first by-law was before our time, but looking back

weren’t very anxious to come to the Cariboo and live in tents.

But if you really believe in these facts of yours, ‘‘Over-
taxed”, come on out to the meeting. They may fall flatter than
the proverbial pancake, but it all helps to liven up a meeting.

Follow The’ Consorny

We notice the Quesnel Observer is taking exception to
our borrowing the odd RCMP Constable to help out with police
protection during Stampede week.

According to the voice of Rivertown, the old Cariboo
spirit of honesty is getting harder to find in the streets of their
fair city, you cant leave a car unlocked on the streets -- and
prowlers are carrying out their nefarious trade of prowling
in the residential section. “Not good enough” rumbles the
Observer, in thinking of this depletion of the forces of law and
order at a time when they are needed most.

If we in Williams Luke are going to insist on staging our
annual “four wild nights in the Cariboo,” the Observer sug-
gests we hire our own special constables to handle the show.

The suggestion is no doubt an admirable one, but like
all suggestions, it costs money, a commodity the Stampede
Association is always short of.

Perhaps as an alternative the good citizens of Quesnel
would like to lock their town up securely next Stampede, leave
the odd gendarme at home as watchman and follow the others
to Williams Lake. It might not be the best solution, but it
would be the most enjoyable one.

Mr. Phair was born in Lillooet, son
of the late Caspar Phair, government
agent in Lillooet in the eighties and
nineties, and is very much interested
in the Indians and their mode of
living, and he knows whereof he
speaks, 5

His observations have not peen ex-
aggerated. On a recent visit throug:
the Marble Canyon and the 22-Mile
