J. Drinkell and the reader Who expresses his views this week, would seem to be the fact that such a move would be a blow to the defence set-up of the province in case of war. Mr. Drinkell put it this way: “We object to any effort to impair the defences of this province in order to gratify the selfish whimsey or pipe-dream of a few interests in Williams Lake. We want no part of a scheme that would seriously jeopardize the safety of hundreds of thousands of our citizens to serve such trivial ends.” This is a lofty sentiment that Mr. ukell failed to propound when he defended the PGE Savona 3 vhich would have resulted in all of the prov- i ‘ j es, With the exception of the link to Prince uperi, beg concentrated in the Fraser Canyon. Certainly a move that would have been a defensive blunder. We do not believe that by moving an airport 40 miles inland, any defence plan would be crippled in this day of air- craft moving at close to the speed of sound. The visibility for which Dog Creek airport is noted provides the sole reason for its present location, but competent observers have stated in the past that the Williams Lake site on the hills overlooking the valley is also a sound project from the point of view of sustained visibility. Perhaps the Board of Trade would like to comment? - The Sub-division ° Prospective home builders who have their eyes on the new PGE sub-division are beginning to get restless about the lack of development work going on. For the past few months the Village has been waiting for approval from the PGE board of directors on a scheme that would provide the sub-division with water as well as streets. This approval was first held up because the new board had not been selected following last year’s election. This has been “rectified in the past few weeks, but word has still not been forthcoming on the project. = It is to be hoped that the railway company directors will soon let their wishes be known in regard to the sub-division. if the water mains are to be laid, there is still a lot of work ahead before the lots can be put up for sale, and in the mean- time good building weather will be wasted. The town still des- erately needs increased housing accommodation and homes iescdcmerhes pidivisi Situation. Easter -Message (A reprint of a 1951 editorial) The message of Easter, the religious festival of the Christian world that commemorates the re-birth of Christ, after being claimed by death, is a very real and enduring one. The story of the resurrection holds out the continuing hope that there is life after death. It holds out also the hope that mankind can throw off the shackles of past mistrust and go forward into the future secure in the knowledge that the human race need not perish. : Man has used his ‘ntelligence too often in the past and in current times to perfect methods of destruction. To.this end he is continually adding gadgets that will more effectively kill off a greater number of people. Somewhere along the way of mankind’s development the ability to live together in harmony has been relegated to a place of secondary consideration and the voices that. preach the self-evident advantages of trust, tolerance and friendship have become fewer and more difficult to hear. Man everywhere has yet to be re-born -- to face life with the attitude that to survive in peace, or even to sunvive at all, we must return to the lessons of Christianity. . The message of Easter -- of the forces of light triumphing over the evils of darkness --- gives hope to every person on earth, if they will but listen. It is not an easy thing to attempt to live up to the teachings of Christ. Easter would be the natural time to start. If it seems a useless comparison to link our individual acts with their possible effects on humanity, remember the fable of the pebble that was thrown into the pool and the resulting widening ripples. Our lives and our actions effect those closest to us. A new way of life would move from the home to the community, to the nation and thence to the re- mainder of the world.

Another member, F. D. Shaw, of Red Deer, Alta., even made a stronger statement when he is reported to have said “the magis- trate would do anything he was told to do by the RCMP.” Quite rightly the Minister of Jus- tice expresed himself as being utter- ly opposed to such practices, saying that only if the presiding official has no prior knowledge of the case be- fore him could justice be assured. With that attitude we are entirely in accord. : The minister must, however, see that his wishes are strictly carried ‘out. But this, of course, raises the question, can a magistrate o: Justice of the Peace.(usually not versed in jaw) properly administer justice anyway? ‘The only safeguard is for qualified persons to act as magistrates — un- der no circumstances ex-policomen— as they still carry their police methods to the bench. naturally involves money, but one thing “is sure, there would not be need for any -prior consultation to actual court proceedings. The Calgary Herald recently haa something.to say on this subject and wound up its remarks in these words: ae “The Magistrates’ courts lie at the bottom level of our justicial system, but they dispose of more criminal This policy ; cases than all the other courts com- bined. The offender tried before a Magistrate is as much entitled to an xbsolutely impartial hearing as a man whose case is being argued be- fore the Supreme Court ot-Canada; and since many defendants in police court are unrepresented by counsel the need for the utmost precaution against prejudice is even greater. We hope that Mr. Garson realizes the seriousness of the Shaw-Laing alle- gations.” Heads RCN Group Taking Part in the Coronation Procession —Central Press Crcasian Commander Robert P.

Myriads of flowers will soon be appearing in carefully tended gar- dens. The orchards too, in the ad- joining countryside will soon we ablaze with the glory of sweetly- scented blossoms. What loveliness! Where did it all come from? How does this sudden change appear? It is because of new life, new vigour taking the place of sleep; of death. All seems to have arisen in newness of life. As 1 muse upon these things my mind carries me back nearly two thousand years, when, had it been possible for me to have been present in the lovely garden of Joseph of Arimathea, I might have heen stand- ing before an open tomb even as Mary, with heavy heart. In the grey purple dawn, as my eyes became accustomed to the grey- ness of the inside of the tomb I could have realized the two angels, the one the head of where Jesus had lain, and the other at the foot. In my mind's eye, I behold the grave clothes lying, the napkin that had been about His head apart trom those that had been around His body — but He was not there! “He is not here; He is risen!” What a blessed truth- He burst the hands asunder, arose ‘he Mighty Conqueror! © death where is thy sting, O grave, where is thy victory, | Jesus said “I am the Resurrection and the life. He that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall He live.” Glorious is the truth of the Resur- rection of the mighty Christ. From countless millions of hearts this Easter will go forth glad praise and thanksgiving to Him Who giveth Life and is alive forevermore! Rev. G.
