Lillooet Breaks Coast Writer Feels Rail Link Unlikely CANADAN SINGER WINS U.S. AWARD Away From UBCM LILLOOET—at last week's meet- “ ing of the Board of Village Commis- sioners of Lillooet it was decided to formally resign from the-B.C. Union of Municipanties and join with other smaller communties in a separate union of villages. This move was made after the board had considered a letter from Williams Lake commissioners sug- = gesting such a move on the part of small municipalities. At the last meeting of the Quésnél board, the proposal was also con- Writing in the Vanconver Sun last Friday, Roy W. Brown, editorial dir- ctor for ve newspaper outlined reasons why he felt that any im- mediate rail link between Squamish and North Vancouver appears un- likely. According to Mr. Brown both the CPR and CNR have ample rcason to} oppose the projected PGE extension and he intimated the two mayor rail- ways carry sufficient weight to block the move. However, it is Mr. Brown's opin- ion that the CPR would be prepared to aid materially in providing a more efficient barge service between Squamish and the city. traffie of freight cars to and from Vancouver Island by barge and it has, the facilities to step up service to Squamish. | The impending North Shore devel- opment planned by the CNR is still another reason why the CPR would be anxious to see the PGE have a better barge connection with Van- couver. Naturally the CPR barges would) operate from CPR yards thereby holding business from the PGE-for the CPR and at the same time fore- stalling the threat to the CPR’s pres- ent waterfront monopoly which will be challenged seriously by the CNR sidered, but because of a agenda was cussion at a later date. “Where are his pockets?” asked!

With the PGE connecting with Vancouver the agreement could become a threat to business over the CNR from Edmonton to Prince Rupert since it proposes the PGE a diversion of transcontinental traffic at Prince George.

Williams Lake YOUR GENERAL Motors Limited MOTORS DEALER TRUCKS - $1200.00 Liberals Warn Of Evils Of Bureaucracy In Government The general feeling that we are slipping away from the principles of responsible government wa most important of five resolutions to be pa Liberal convention here Monday afternoon. The resolution, which goes before the provincial convention next week, that the far requested reaching ill effects of bureaucracy be pointed out to the leaders of the party to the end that the charge might never be laid at the door of the Liberal party. Speaking to the motion, Douglas McNeill of Quesnel said the resolu- tion had been drafted because the sponsoring Quesnel group felt that the growth of bureaucracy was the antithesis of the democratic way of life. Mr. McNeill- went on to say that a government with a heavy majority of power had a tendency in their strength to tell us what to do. We then see such a government ‘rail- roading’ through laws, which al- though they might be very good for us, still leave a bad feeling with the voters because ihey have not been asked for an opinion. HOUSING Keith Yorston, chairman of the resolutions committee, spoke to a resolution on the necessity of alter- ng the present National Housing Act so that residents of the smaller cen- tres in the province might receive the same consideraton.. now given only to resdents of industrial or de- fense areas. Charging that although the NHA was passed to aid all people, Mr. Yorston said the small town ‘resi- dent was still being discriminated against. He went on to say that re- cent changes in the act now allowed residents of defence areas to receive 2 housing loan by only placing a ten per cent down payment. This pay- ment is raised to 20 per cent to resi- dents in industrial areas, but in small centres like Wells, Quesnel WELCOME WORK CALL equ LIBERALS READY \FOR CAMPAIGN “Angus MacLean will not be el- ected unless the Liberal party of- fers a clear-cut program in the Cari- boo,” Keith Yorston, newly elected president of the Cariboo Liberal As- sociation declared at the group’s annual banquet Monday night. Mentioning specifically the PGH Railway extension, theo Cariho Highway atid the proposed Quesnel Hydro development, Mr. Yorstou pulled no punches in calling for a new ‘Liberal inspired’ deal for the Cariboo that would be necesary as a solid platform in the coming cam- paign. His remarks and similar calls for hard spade work in the riding by re- Uring president Lew Griffiths met with table thumping response from old party campaigners who have felt that Liberalism has been ‘smother- ed’ in the years of Coalition part- nership. Catching the spirit of party plan- ning again, delegates from all points of the sprawling Cariboo riding re- affirmed their faith in Liberalism and the future of the Cariboo when they were called on to speak by chairman Griffiths. It was letf to George Renner, vet- eran of many campaigns in the rid- ing to strike the most responsive note with the delegates when he urged them to hold fast to their belief in Liberalism ‘‘We may object to our administrators," Mr. Renner said, ‘‘but we must -remember that Liberalism never dies.” Other officers of the association elected at the afternoon sessions are vice-presidents Clarence Singer, Lew Griffiths and Jack Foreman of Wells. Secretary will be appointed later by the executive. reilected in the sd at the Cariboo or Williams Lake the prospective home builder must find from 40 to 50 per cent of the cost for a down payment, depending on his income bracket. ROADS. Speaking on the necessity of speeding construction of the Uari- boo Highway was hardly necessary, according to George Renner, who seconded a resolution calling for an immediate continuation of the gov- ernment’s original plan of pushing the highway work north, and at the same time keeping up the mainten- ance of the uncompleted stretch of this main arterial route. Mr. Renner pointed out that the road's present traffic would be in- creased tremendously when the Hart Highway was opened this summer, linking the Cariboo and the Peace River country. Walter Daniels of Bridge Lake, former resort owner, said in his opinion the wording of the resoiu- tion was not strong enough consia- ering the Cariboo Highway was ‘not fit to put a car over.’ His suggestion that more stress be placed on the value of the road to the province's entire economy. was adopted. HYDRO & PGE Two resolutions, one calling for the immediate completion of the Pacific Great Eastern extension from Sqtamish- to Vancouver, and the other asking the government to start the Quesnel Hydro develop- ment, were both passed by the con- vention. Road conditions in rural areas held down attendance at the conven- tion. There were thirty-iive dele- gates attending. ement is not publis displayed by the Liquor Control aes or ¢ Government of British Columbia. This advert JUST ARRIVED!
