A Decision To Make Next Tuesday the voters of British Columbia will go tothe polls to choose the type of administration they want to see in Victoria for the next four years. We believe the results of the election will indicate that British Columbians are a confused lot in 1953 -- and it would be unusual if this were not so, deluged as they have been for the past month with an ndi~g barrage of charge and counter-charge. It will be -iely doubtful if any Single party will come through with cle r majority, a situation that is bound to hurt the adility of the province. ue basic issue in the election is not hard to define. The overs will have to determine whether they have been satis- fied with the manner is which the Social Credit government functioned during its short tenure of office. If they decide to the contrary, the question to be answered is which of the Parties, Liberals or Progressive-Conservatives (both under new leaders), would do a better job of administration. -This formula does not apply, of course, to supporters of the C('E'| tty, who are making the simple choice of socialism as c sed to the free enterprise type of economy. Cariboo voters, we believe, will be able to follow par | From the Files of the Tribune | ONE YEAR AGo June 5, 19 — The hope that more trarning in traffie work might be given to chool Patrol boys by local RCM ers was e sed at the patro annual luncheon— A Vancouver firm of ehartered accountants, R: Crawford & Company, has estabtis ed a braneh office in Williamg Lake — At the organipational meeting of the new Chilcotin Guides Associatic at Alexis Creek, Cecil Henry of Big Creek was elected president, Altred Bryant, Anahim Lake, vice-president and Mrs. J.

All four parties have made sound choices in their candidates. Despite his nimble side-stepping on the PGE extension, we believe that Arthur Laing and his Liberal party would give British Columbia its best type of government. And, before Social Credit supporters start pointing at the large question mark that surrounds Mr. Laing’s. quaint word ‘adequate’ in the Liberal plank in this extension, we would point out that in the latest piece of literature emanating from Socred head- quarters on the ‘highlights of what the Social Credit govern- |4 ment proposes to do,’ there is no mention of the Pacific Great Eastern at all. The pamphlet further states that ‘“Sociai Credit does not make election promises.” As a protest move, the election of the Social Crediters last year had a beneficial effect on two old-line parties that had forgotten that the “‘enterprise’ in free enterprise should start with the government of the people. However, we do not believe that the representatives of the Social Credit movement have been outstanding in their contribution to progress and stability in provincial affairs. But those are our own opinions. Whatever yours are, Zct out and vote on June 9 so that a truly representative govern- ment may have the opportunity to look after our provincial destinies in the immediate future. Credit. Due ~ Ay That Coronation Day in Williams Lake was an outstand- ing success, can be attributed in part to the weather, and in great measure to the work of two men. Former village com- missioner Cecil Poston took on the job as chairman of the committee in charge of the celebrations only after a great deal of persuasion. But once he had accepted the position there was no holding him back, and the results were due largely to his hours of preliminary work. Leo Glynn, a junior staff member of one of the local banks, should also receive a verbal bouquet. Leo took over the job of secretary of the committee and shared much of the burden of organization in a creditable manner. To these men and to the others who gave up their time to make the day a memorable one for town and district children, the community owes a vote of thanks.

But from crude oil, Imperial refines 679 different products, ranging from weed killers to heavy asphalts.
