Drinkell The boys fell heavily this week for the current trend toward new move- ments. One chap opined that the people responsible for locating our shipping centre on its present site displayed all the stupidity attributed by some people to those government officials who located an airport out at Dog Creek. that the original place Cowtown in the vicinity of the Onward Ranch. So now we are all set to become inyolved in a “On to the Onward” Then somone else recalled intention was to movement.

This new site will have the advantage of being close to the Cariboo Road, which will cut out that miserable ten mile prong into Williams Lake. There will also be- room enough to locate the PGE depot, round-house, sidings, ete., and still leave space to park a car without getting its rear end bashed up. 1t will be possible to construct a nice landing strip capable of hand- ling all the local air traffic and will be quite a bit nearer the major air- port at Dog Creek. There will be no need to abandon that project out at Dog Creek. In addition to all these advantages over the present site it will have an ample supply of good water. No more of those tom-fool gadgets which neither reduce the odor nor make that ghastly slough water more pal- atable. It won't even be necessary to contemplate calling in the Children’s Aid Society to investigate any pre- mature taste for beer being acquired by a lot of juveniles. Their little stomachs just won't retch any more after taking a drink of water. Another advantage will be found in the level streets. No longer will our young cowpokes in their high- heeled boots and the old asthmatical ranchers have to go around in deadly fear of busting a lung — or some- thing — through contending with alp-like contours such as abound in the present townsite. Along about this time someone got sympathetic enough to enquire what would happen to the old boys in the Williams Lake Board of Trade. Just let ‘em keep on dozing said Shorty; they will never know what has happened to them. So don’t be surprised if you hear more — much more — concerning this “On to the Onward” movement. It will only cost a modest sum to complete. What is saved by not hay- ing to maintain the highway from 150 Mile House to the old town will pay for all necessary installations in about one hundred years or so. As a new movement, the boys feel it is a dilly. SED TRUCK AND CAR SALE 1951 G.M.C. 34-ton Full price ~ 1051 1951 Chev. 14-ton Full price : (OK) extras) ... a lovely car .

COUNTER SALES BOOKS SCRATCH PADS «RUBBER STAMPS) THE TRIBUNE Letter to the Editor AIRPORT Dog Creek, B.C.; i March 30, 1953. Editor. The Tribune. Dear Sir: Your editorial regard- ing Dog Creek airport in this week’s issue of The Tribune fails to take note of some very important facts. Two things are definite “musts” in considering new airfields particu- larly when they may be called into use as military units. Firstly the jet aircraft shut otf their power about eight miles be- fore landing so a long clear approach is vital. In the next place the speed of which the aircraft of the present and tomorrow will approach a landing field makes good visibility absolutely essential. The Dog-Creek airport is renown- ed for the ease and length of ap- proach available from all directions and for its unequalled visibility. Its runways are already gurveyed for the short extensions needed to make them speedily adaptable to any known aircraft of the future. To suggest abandoning a field of this kind to permit building one in a much less favourable and more costly location sounds like depriving our fighting airmen of their best pro- tection and is not worthy of consid- eration. Why should they be asked to take second best. A lot of people think that putting Williams Lake where it is was the biggest calamity ever to happen to Cariboo. Seeing as this.is another thing we seem to be stuck with why not give serious thought to building an ex- press highway from Williams Lake to Dog Creek airport. This would cut both the distance and time of travel very cosiderably and bring the facili- ties of the fine airport within easy access of Williams Lake. It should also meet most of the objections raised by a few of your townsmen. A little work on your present land- ing strip would make it possible to run a first rate air taxi between the two points. The operating figures supplied your expert are mostly too fanta to be’ taken seriously by ernement department. In any case lives shoudl he more important than dollars or building another airport at Williams Lake. ny gov- Yours ruly, David Anderson.
