Clive Stangoe, Editor $3.00 Authorized as Second Class Mail py the Post Office Department, Ottawa Little Hope We would like to believe that publication of the figures on maintenance savings that would accrue to the people of Canada with the movement of Dog Creek range station to s iams-Lake would result in the Federal government giving some consideration to the idea. But we think that hoping for such action is akin to believing in fairies. It is obvious that the government minister involved, the Hon Lionel Chevrier, is not interested in facts concerning Dog Creek airport. To put it charitably, the original decision to locate the airport was a glorious example of how our government can throw the taxpayers’ money to the wind by not looking into all the aspects of a situation. The range station as an air navigation aid, as well as the airport runways, was doubtless needed somewhere within a reasonable given area of this section of the Cariboo. It could be placed at Dog Creek, where every gallon of’ water has to be hauled at a cost of four cents a gallon; where mail and supplies must be trucked in 40 miles from railhead, at a fair additional transport cost; where diesel plants must be operated to provide electric power. Or it could alternately be placed within four miles of the town of Williams Lake, where you are located at railhead; and where water and power are no problem. in addition to these factors the obvious advantage of placing an adequate airport at William's Lake should have occurred to those responsible for the decision that such a ’port would have commlercial value during the years ahead — would in fact _ provide revenue from landing fees. Those facts were as apparent before Dog Creek airport was built as they are now, but the Dog Creek site was chosen. That’s why, we say it seems hopeless to try and get the Federal goy- ernment to rectify a war-time mistake,-or to even admit that it was a mistake, At the same time we hope the Board of Trade continues the long distance struggle. An election year is not the poorest * time to start tilting with the government in power.

The ‘willing’ workers are growing fewer in number every year and the enthusiam of those remaining is somewhat strained. It would help if there were some new faces present this Friday when association president Benny Abbott raps his gavel.

WILLIAMSLAKE From Another Viewpoint “FIVE MINUTES TO ZER‘ Gin The Kelowna Courier) The ruling from a farm section near Stratford in Western Ontario strikes at women’s basic privilege of exchanging neighborhood gossip in leisurely fashion. The Mornington township tele- phone system has put a five-minute limit on rural party line conver- gations. * = It took this drastic action by a vote of subscribers at the telephone company’s annual meeting. The limit on gossip sessions goes on for a year’s trial and there is to be another vote on the question next February. There is little doubt the recent move has given the women of Morn- ington township plenty to talk about since then -— within the five- minute limit, of course. The claim the women themselves made the measure necessary is sure to come in for vigorous denial. One irate subscriber said at the meeting he had found it quicker to drive over to a neighbor's place for an important discussion’ than to wait for long-winded conyersation- alists to get off the line. John Atkin, commissioner of the telephone system, said most of the offenders were women, tirelessly en- gaged in traditional woman talk about “cake baking, putting the children to bed, and the like.” ‘The meeting authorized operators to enforce the limit by cutting the connection on any conversation after five minutes are up, regardless of how interesting the chit-chat may be, Thus the Age of Speed has come to peaceful Mornington. Housewives will have to-condense their accounts of their domestic dramas with the skill of radio commentators. For the woman at the other end of the wire — and for the traditional unseen audience along the party line — they will need to talk rapidly but clearly, cutting out ruthlessly all non-essential details,‘ and shaping their story swiftly to its climax. Under the new rule, it's five min- utes to zero. In this case, zero will be marked by a sharp click as the operator pulls the plug.
