Drinkell We proudly tip our hats tothe management of Columbus Hall for placing its facilities at the disposal of the newly formed Table Tennis Club. There is a great need in most rural settlements for judiciously supervised recreation centres, where young people particularly may fore- gather and~ find invigorating ob- jectives for their leisure hours; in a spirit of friendly rivalry. This gesture on the part of Co)- umbus hall should be hailed as a decided effort towards nvceting that need in Williams Lake, and is de- serving of wholehearted support. I* may not be too much to hone it will prove the fore-runner of more in- door sports clubs culminating in a completely equipped centre capable ot providing a full program of ac- tivities for our young folks, at mod- erate cost. There appears to be a divergence of opinion as to what course the Legisature should pursue during its next session. It is quite natural each party should wish to present the best pos- sible front to the electors, whenever the election is held. It is equally natural each should try to blame the other for the rupture in the coalition movement. Of far greater, concern however, to the electorate, is that in pursu- ance of aforesaid we be not made the victims of a mess of hastily prepared and inadequately consider- ed legislation. The Hospital Insur- ance Service is a glaring example of that type of enactment and wil] suf- fice for a long time to come. It may prove too difficult to give legal ef- fect to the unanimous findings of the Smith enquiry into BCHIS. It should also be possible to prepare the plebiscite to be presented regard- ing revision of existing liquor law This is long overdne and despite the fact some quarters pretend to see the correct wording of it to be a stu- pendous task, there should be enough lawyers kicking around the parliament buildings to overcome any such difficulty. But when it comes to enacting such contentious ‘|legislation as a new Workmen's Compensation Act; re-writing the Industrial Conciliation Act and simi- lar measures we agree they should le held, in abeyance pending the: election of a new government havin the time to accord them comprehen- Phone INTERIOR WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTORS Williams Lake, B.C. : Electrify: YOUR Suen with the “MORRISON-A UTOMATIC: LIGHTING PLANT MORE “WATTS” FOR YOUR MONEY!

Many others, while admiting it has given us some good government, have realized tor some stime that a break was inevitable Now the . For our part we feel the dis- integration can only prove a calam- ity if the return to straight party lines is heralded by the enactment of legislation bearing the earmarks of vote catching propensity rather than the hall-mark of perfection. Such stuff can but lead to more and more Boards of Enquiry and involve future assemblies in costly and time wasting revisions and re-enactments while retarding passage of the many new measures which are bound to keep arising if we are to keep pace With the needs of our growing popu- lation and industrial expans:on- If the next government revives the practice of fully debating public business on the floor of the Assembly instead of government by party cau- cus and order-in-council the election of our MLA’s may once more appear justified. Otherwise, we may as well purchase a rubber stamp at the local printing office with which Mr. Speak- er can imprint each bill ‘approved by the electoral district of Bally- hoo,”’ or what have you, before pre- senting it to the Lieutenant-Gover- nor for royal assent. The stamp would cost around three dollars — quite a saving? LONE BUTTE Nothing Saved As Fire Destroys Home On the afternoon of February 22, Nick Welyk’s cabin, occupied by Mr. md Mrs. Chas.

Mr. Larson had to erect a lifelike sarerow to keep moose from destroying the hay.
