Coronation Day Will Be Long Program | emembered B Coronation Day in Williams Lake will long be remem- bered by the hundreds of town ing until a fireworks display at schedule. Following a drenching downpour| itself dawned clear and perfect weather} added to the success of the celebra-| tions. With the emphasis being placed} on making it a children’s day, ouly a few adults took part in the parade. | Out in front, adding a splash of, bright colour to the procession, were; four members of the local RCMP de- tachment in their dress uniforms, headed by Sgt. J. Howe: Following! the police came the colour parties from the Canadian Legion, Legion Auxiliary, Boy Scouts, Wolf Cubs and Mission Boys Band. In the par- ade itself were Scouts, Cubs and 37 Then followed the Mission Boys Band and finally the contestants in the costume and decorated bicycle competitions. A crowd, estimated at between five and six hundred children and adults, filled the Elis Hall to ca- pacity to see the official ceremony under the chairmanship of Don Mars. Students of Williams Lake High School took principal parts in the ceremony with Tony Cousins read- ing an address on the significance of the Coronation and Beverley Nawker reading a prayer. Well received were the numbers presented by the 11-man choir from, the 917th Squadron, U.S.A.F. Under the leadership of J. Allan Garee, they });, | but were defeated by a count of 14-9. showed the results of long trainimg giycive for the occasion. For many in the the School Dormitory choir, who have been trained by Mrs. Kathleeu Their individual numbers, of Aberdovy” and the popular , What a Beautiful Morning,” were also well received.

Runners of another day show- hours, ed up in the dashes for men’s open, and grandfathers. In the first one, village Commission chairman Al; tair Mackenzie, a former track star. came in first, followed by Cece Rhodes and Lionel Singlehurst. The grandfathers’ race was won by David Johnson, who took part in a long distance race 20 years ago from 150 Mile to Williams Lake, coming. in third in the event. Behind Mr. John son in the dash was Tommy Paxton. School principal J. Philipson won the teachers’ race with R. Friesen second. A pick-up team with the accent on youth won the tug-of-war contest. lt was originally intended to have Firemen, Public Works, Kohnke's Mill and Lignums compete, but the latter mill failed to show up and the Pick-up group was pressed into ser- vice. They eliminated the Firemen and then met Kohnke’s in the final to outpull the lumbermea. During the sports program three clowns, Erie O’Dell, Jim Stitt and Tom Hawker acted as pied pipers for many of who followed the trio around where- ever they went. Utter confusion reigned on the grounds when Phil Coxon conducted greasy pig chase. When the animal was freed every youngster on the grounds siarted in nedy. The animal was auctioned off and Cameron collected for his prize from Lionel Singlehurst.

The Social Credit government did a lot of damage while they were in office, the speaker charged. She pointed specifically to their handling of the educational policy, the civil servant question and the fact that they had been a disappointment to labour. S The CCF program is not one of jile promises or political expediency, Mrs. Steeves claimed. She went on to say that in the past her party's candidates shad been defeated on issues that hi franchise in British ich has since been ini- |plemented. This had been true also in hospital insurance, Mrs. Steev said, going back to the original pro- vincial hospital insurance act which the CCF had introduced, and al- Plans Readied For Stampede Althoug it hasn’t been heralded with a lot of fanfare this year, the 26th annual Stampede is just around the corner. Committee chairman have been working on their parts of the show, which will be staged June 17,18 and 19, and the colourful event bids tair to be the success it always is. Again this year a carnival show will be run in conjunction with the Stampede, according to the decision of a committee struck for the pur- pose of investigating the question. A coast outfit, the Baddeley shows, will be bringing games and rides for the three days. The 1953 Stampede will be re- recorded for posterity by camera- men of the National Film Hoard, and it is understood pictures and stories of the show will be handled ltor a week-end magazine as well. | Along with the usual Stampede} dances at the Elks Hall and ou the| wrestling on the first two days of the show.

Her main objection was that the ‘freeze’ of costs at the 1952 level would create a barrier over which districts-!ess fortunate in educational facilities could not hurdle. She explained that of two neighboring districts, one might have expanded its facilitigs to the point where its student day cost was much higher than the other in 1952, but before the second one had an opportunity’ to raise its standard of facilities, the freeze order had en- sured that the differential would al- Ways exist and therefore the one. Gistrict could neyer hope to “eaten? up’ to the other i service provided to their students. s This type of financing was also an example of the Social Credit policy of showing a bettering of the provin- cial debt picture at the expense of the municipal tax structure, the speaker charged. - She claimed this had also been the case in Alberta, and cited the example of a pronerty owner with six parcels of lard, whose tax in 1944 had been $253, a figure that had jumped to $751 in 1952 for the same property. Turning to the course of educa- tion, Mrs. Steeves hit out at the y of cutting the allot- ment for what Some people term as “frills,” pro-ree wark, school }ib4 raries and the various types ‘of vo- cational courses. Reading from an address given by Mrs. Rolston to a convention of school trustees just after she had been made Minister of Educationg Mrs. Steeves compared the Minister's praises of all educational ‘‘frills” with ‘her government’s eventual action. ‘“‘What happened to Tilly,” the speaker questioned, “Well Tilly got into very bad company, it some. times happens to girls,” she quipped. CCF POLICIES Turning to the CCF conception of socialism, Mrs. Steeves said they be- lieved that while there were maay types of private industry that were beneficial to the country, the mon- opolies should be publicly operated. ‘Much of the best work of the CCF could be done with co-operatives, the smaller youngsters’ 8founds, there will be two nights vf! she said, a subject that not much is known about in B.C. As an example of what a co-operative can aecom- plish, the speaker cited the beef in- dustry, where, she said, the farmer gets about 64 percent of the table price of beef for producing it. This margin could be cut substantially to the farmers’ benefit by the success- claimed. The CCF, she said, would form a ministry of co-operatives to further this type of consumer-benefit oper- ation.
