CASE TO BE APPEALED
SS

Pit Lamper Found
Guiliy By Magistrate

Gustaf Schneider, young DP from
Germany was fined $500 or two
months in default when he appeared
before Stipendiary Magistrate J. D.
Smedley in police court last week as
the principal in the first ‘pit lamping”
case to be tried in this district.

In opening his case last Thursd:
local lawyer Henry Lockwood w
handled the prosecution for the
Crown said he would attempt to
Prove by a series of circumstances
that the accused was guilty of the
game act infraction although none
of the ‘prosecution witneses had ac-
tually seen the man clearly enough
to identify him.

The prosecution case was built
around three main witnesses; Alex-
ander and. Francis Macalister and
Pearson. According to the ‘tes-
timony, Alexander had just retired
for the night about nine o'clock
when he heard a shot from the di-

a

Sig

three purebred bulls were kept.
Rushing to.the window he saw a car
parked by the side of the highway
and a light beside the vehicle. He
called out the window to his brother
and Sig who were in another part of}
the building to go after the ‘pit!
lamper.” |

The two men obeyed the summons
and started down the short road in
their car in an effort to cut off the
vehicle-on the highway, but before
they could make the crossing the
person with the other car had drive2
off. The men continued the chase and
nally passed the fleeing car three
miles up the highway. They pulled
ahead a ways.and stopped, Frances
alighting with a flashlight in ap at-
tempt to wave the driver of the
other car down. He-was unsuccess-
ful in the attempt but he did secure
tle license number. The men took
up the chase again and two miles far-
ther on came upon the same car
parked on the highway. They again
checked the license and they drove
up but as they got closer the ear
pulled out and roared off into the
night. The two men gaye up the
chase and returned home. Subse-
quent checking there showed that a
doe deer had heen shot.

Investization ed that the
d belonged to
William Ernst, who operates a saw-
mill at Australian Creek, 23 miles
north of Macalister. He testifiied that
he had loaned the car that. night to
Schneider, who works for him,

The charge against the accusea
was that on November 9th, after
nine o'clock in the afternoon he un-
lawfully hunted for
light in his possession.

Norman Fetterley of Quesnel ap-
peared for defense and has
lodged notice of appeal. The appeal
will probably be heard in the latter

Member Deplores Housing
Shortage In Commons Debate

The acute housing shortage in his
constituency was deplored in Coin-
mons recently by Davie Fulton, M.P
who was speaking on a debate a
ing from possible amendments to the
National Housing «Act.

Excerpts fromr Mr, Fulton’s
speech dealing with the housing

Problem follow:

“Mr. Speaker, before I come to the
Subjects with which I want to deal
in the main part of my remarks to-
day, there are one or two issues [
should like to mention briefly as they
are of particular concern to my con-
stituency. They are, I must admit,
of concern elsewhere as well, but

they are among those national issues

country,

N.H.A. ACT
The first of these is a question of
which mention was made in the

Speech from the Throne, namely the
Possibility of an amendment to the
National Housing Act. Anyone who
remembers the promises made by
| the Liberals in the 1945 election, x
house for every Canadian family,
and then realizes how far short of
their promises the housing program
of the Liberal government has fal-
len, will perhaps feel that I haye
some justification when I say that
there are grave doubts whether even
the amendment to the National
Housing Act which is now forecast
will do what is necessary to meet
the need.

I have no knowledge of the situa-
tion in any part of the country other
than my own riding, but_I do know
that in the city of Kamloops and in
other towns and cities throughout

my constituency there is no singie

nature facing the people which is
half as acute as the problem of secur-
ing adequate housing accommo
tion. It would not be so bad if this
were a problem which was only of
ort duration, one in which an em-
gency or shortage had arisen sud-
denly so the people migth hope it
would be dealt with and that the
problem would disappear as the re-
sult of aggressive action by the gov-
ernment. This is a problem that has
continued and increased since 1945.
The distress and the number of
; those requiring housing accommoy
|dation have both increased every
year, and in'my view there is noth.
ing in the field of social legislation
or social security generally which is
half as important and urgent at the
the need of providing

moment as
some means whereby the people of

HOPES FOR RELIEF

Iam certainly hopeful that the
amendment to be introduced to the!
National Housing Act will make
some start in dealing with this prob-
lem and I can assure the minister
that he will be open to even more
severe criticism than he has been
in the past if the forecast amendment
turns out to be-nothing more than
another piece of election eyewash. I
believe the minister to be sincere in
his desire to see a solution of the
housing problem realized. I can as-
sure him we on this side of the
house will gladly co-operate, and
help him by way of suggestions and
by way of support for any proper
legislation; but I can assure him;
that we on this side of the house will |
let it be known in no uncertain
terms what we think of the amend-
ment if it should turn out to be one
