Newscaster Has
Loyal Listener

Radio newscasters, like news-
paper reporters and editors every-
where, make frequent errors during
the course of thir exacting chores,
writes the Prince George Citizen.

They have thousands of sharp-
eared critics, and it is not unusual
for listeners to write to a broadcaster
and point out his mistake. But rarely
does the listener spring to the de-
fence of the perpetrator of the
“boner.”

That was the satisfying experience
of Les Way, who broadcasts a weekly
summary of B.C. ‘‘small town’ news
culled from weekly newspapers.

During a recent “Neighborly
News” program, Mr. Way remarked
that an Okanagan lady had packed
2100 “boxes” of apples in 30 min-
utes to win the championship.

Naturally this statement provoked
considerable incredulity among evea
the most devoted of Mr. Way’s fans,

island Leader

Dean Finlayson, 23-year-old Nan-
aimo real estate and insurance man,
was elected leader of British Colum-
bia Progressive Conservatives Satur-
day. He has been a party member for
only six years.

The actual vote was not announced
at the party’s convention in Vancou-
ver but it was unofficially reported
that he defeated his only opponent,
Les Bewley of Vancouver, by a size-
able majority.

Mr. Finlayson ancceeds Herbert
Anscomb, former Finance Minister
in the Coalition Government. Mr.
Anscomb resigned this morning.

The Vancouver-born Air Force
veteran takes over the party helm at
its lowest ebb in years. The Con-
seryatives hold only three seats in
the present Legislature to 11 in the
Coalition Government.

Social Credit holds 19 seats in the
48-seat legislature, the CCF 18, Lib-
erals six and Labor one. B.C. Carson,
fourth Progressive Conservative
member, died recently.

After this election, Mr. Finlayson
premised ‘the more than 250 dele-
gates he would tour the province “as
soon as humanly possible.” He asked
them to “look to the future of re-
building this party united and dedi-
cated to the principles inherent in
Conservatism.”
