The Cracker Barrel Forum

By A J. Drinkell

Once the nominating conventions
are over we may look for consider-
able activity in the BULL pen, and a
real salvo of Oratory. Needless to
say both sides of the erstwhile coali-
tion will claim credit for all the
homers scored in recent years but
we doubt their eagerness ‘to accept
;Dlame for the errors, or broken
‘pledges. At our last holdforth the
boys got really worried lest the poli-
\ with a record budget of $138
| minions to play around with, should
‘yun out of promises and slogans, be-
fore getting it all well and truly
allotted. To avert such a catastro-
phe the boys decided to venture a
|few suggestions of their own; a
gesture they feel sure the various
candidates will appreciate.

ABE ROPER, who constantly
chafes under the disappointment of
being unable to take in many of the
important gatherings in town and
painfully aware of the times it is
impossible to get sick persons to the
hospital due to chronic road condi-
tions, came up with a couple of
ideas that just couldn't fail as sure-
fire yote catching promises.

He doesn’t care two hoots which
candidate makes wSe of them, he
will get Abe's vote, “A boulevard to
every Barn” is No. 1. The other,

WILL INVESTORS
PUT UP THE MONEY?

To change these tremendous projects planned for B.C. from mere blue-prints
fo job-giving reality at least fifteen hundred of millions of dollars must be invested

The money will come if investors feel it can safely be risked here.

When British Columbians overwhelmingly rejected Socialism in 1949, the result
was a flood of vast new developments. The eyes of the entire world turned to B.C.

We can continue to attract capital, to grow, to see thousands of new job
develop if we prove that as a people we favor sound, progressive public polic’
under a free enterprise form of government.

Let’s keep the vital flow of new capital coming to our Incomparable Provir

OLB had a little different slant on
the transportation question. He
cannot understand all this bicker-
ing that’s going on over the P.G.E.
Rly. He claims to have a very

Now, any candidate promising
prohibit the Liquor Control Board
catching it and paying the P.G.E. to
haul it back up here might reason-
ably claim that would at least keep
the bottle-neck out of the freight
business, and win him a nice packet
of votes.

FRENCHY, whose early days were
spent lumbering on the rivers ar-
ound Quebec thinks, it would be a
good stunt for Ernie Carson et al to
have a little community sing song at
their meetings. As a theme song
he proposes something based on
Roderick Mackenzies recent sugges-
tior re developing the Port Oi
Squamish. “A barging we will go,
A barging we will go, We'll join our
friends up in the Peace, Then a bar-
ging we will go.” That's a real
rollicking chante of pines Frenchy
and should work up some enthusias-
tie meetings. .

SHORTY is so confident the Li-
quor Plebiscite will get a whopping
affirmative vote he feels Winch and
Co.. should promise to Rave closing
out sales at the liquor stores. As a
drawing card he suggests a slogan
based on the Drug Store pattern,
you know. “With every packet of
Baby Powder we give you a safety-
pin’. Winch could go one better.
“With every quart of imported
Scotch we'll give you one of Gin”.
That would be a pleasing demon-
stration of their “more equitable
distribution of worldly goods” poli-
cy without in anyway violating the
spirit. Shorty guarantees it to make
friends and influence voters.

CHAIRMAN BLUNT surveyed the
field of taxation and feels it is right
fertile ground for the disciples of
Douglas. Aberhart. and Low (that
sounds like more blooming lawyers).
What better introduction into B.C.
politics than a promise to resurrect
their original theory of one tax for
all purposes. asks Mr. Blunt. No
schoo] tax, no 1and tax, no saies tax
and so on ad infinitum. All yon de
is lick a one cent stamp every time
someone passes you a buck. Just
think of all the buck passing that
has been going on through the years
and nary a stamp licked. : Why,
says Blunt, there is enough of it
done around the Legislative Build-
ings alone to finance their something
