First Aid Course In Schools Part Of Civil Defense Program In Williams Lake school over 130 students are currently taking in- struction in basic first aid as a part of a program preparing the schools to play a vital part in Civil Defense in British Columbia. The objective of. the course is not to make highly trained first aid at- tendants, but rather to enable the student to learn thoroughly the basic procedures for taking care of himself and others in cases of einer gency. The informacion iearned wit help a student in the ordinary situ- ations in daily life requiring such knowledge and will focus attention on the preventative aspects of ace dents. The Department of Education has directed that Civil Defence training be introduced into the schools so that children may learn simple pre- cautions that may be taken in case who may be responsible for the pro- tection of children during school hours will have a routine establish- | ed in case of air attack. A number of protective drills have been outlined by the department and will be car- ried out in much the same manner that fire drills are now. The Cariboo is classified as a ‘re- ception area’ and in the event of a need to transfer the populace from larger centres, the school facilities in the area would be made available for dormitories or emergeacy hos- pitals. A survey of these facilities is oveing made at present. Jill: “How'd you ever get rid of that awful blind date so ear.

By judiciously rewarding my finy friend with dark invigorating tots, I so influenced his mind that he would give me the better fish such as turbot, retaining for himself only inferior qualities like cod. A trivial point, perhaps, but I thought good for discipline. UJ Iwas about to send him to bring me a wife frommamong the girls bathing in a distant lagoon, when suddenly I sighted a sail. Instantly mounting the shark I went alongside and pausing only to present him with the corkscrew, climbed aboard.” “That’s a Rum Story,” said the wedding guest: incautiously. “Very kind of you, I’m sure, sir,” replied the mariner. “T could just fancy a Lamb’s Navy Rum.” = RON Zaported fon 8 This advertisement is not published or displayed by the Liquor Control Board, or by the Government of British Columbia, TPAMOU: - Cots Chesterfield suites, Restful Living It Our Business!

Horsefly, B.C.. March i0, 1952. Editor, The Tribune, Dear Sir: Dr. Hume, 27 years an inspector of schools in Toronto, has presented a very tine article in Mac- lean’s Magazine, March Ist issue. It is entitled “It the School Ruining Your Child?” To all of your sub- seribers I would say it is well worth your time to read it. It is my opinion that a growing number of parents and teachers in our province are of the same opinion as Dr. Hume. | Let's have more of this kind who will really work to bring us back to a happy medium in the British Col- umbia educational field. Yours truly, Ruby M. Barrett, OUR AMBIGUOUS INDIAN ACT Soda Creek, B.C. Editor The Tribune, During the past few years the Do- minion government at Ottawa has been trying to bring out amend- ments to our Indian Act, in the hopa of giving Indians better conditions| of living and a place in society com-| parable with the whites. After the | government decision was announced last fall, I fear a sad mistake has been made when they announced that after December 15, '51 beer parlours would be open to Indiana in this province. Chiefs of various bands through- out the province, agree this is a mere privilege, which can do more harm than good. The order allows them to go into beer parlours, but gives them no right to buy liquor in Government Stores. It is a cowardly order, inasmuch as it denies the freedom of Government Stores to people allowed for the first time to sit at tables in licensed premises to enjoy drinking rights. Over a period of several hundred years in Canada, especially during the past half century, when we should have reached an age of more sense and enlightenment, we have -been withholding rights from the native brother that long ago should have been accorded him. To quote a few instances, the con- tinuation of life on an Indian Re- serve is to my mind an anarchion- ism, something to be ashamed of 100 MILE NEWS LODGE PURCHASES CLINTON PLANT The Lodge has bought the light plant which Clinton previously used and is planning to put up a new building to house it. The present plant will be too small to supply power for the many new buildings which now use it and for the new school which we expect will be erect- ed here in the near future. MR.

AULD held a card party this week. pose during the early days of the open west. Today it is a blow against decency. Canada is made up of people from every part of world. working towards as fast as we assimilate the various elements. The trouble amongst some of the Doukhobors is partly due to settling in groups and colonics. The Japan- ese groups and colonies on the west coast constituted a threat to this country aiter Pearl Harbour, was to be found im the grouping ot Jjapan- ese. The fault of this was due to a short sighted government _ policy which allewed them in the first place to settle in groups, devot tneir own language, customs dety Canadian affiliaticns. The Indians do not deity our laws, they would be better oif, and surely better Canadians, if they were ab sorbed amongst white neighbours and brought into better reguiated com- munities. Several Indian chiefs ex- pressed themselves contrary to the new law in its present form, by al- lowing members of their vanas to drink in beer parlours. They say it is a trap. As long as we have Indians in colonies called reserves, we shail still continue to use those offensive names as Siwash and Klooch, words which should be expunged irom our language. ’ The majority of Indians will quick- ly respond to be dealt with on a basis of equality, which included equality of rights in many places besides beer parlours. - During the discussion on the Dill at Ottawa, few members raised any objection, our young and brilliant member {trom Kamloops, Mr. D. Fulton protested vigorously against the bill in its present form. The mere_fact of Indians being allowed to drink in beer parlour but to give au Indian beer eisewner or even in your own home, consu- tutes an offence and punishable un- der the Indian Act, the whole mat- ter in my opinion is ambiguous and childish, and saould be amenaed on broader lines.
