The Rush Is Over

Now that the rush"preparatory to the provincial election
is past history, here at The Tribune everyone is beginning to
breathe a little more normally once more. But before we sink
back in our comfortable publishing routine, a word of apology
and a word of thanks.

To our job printing customers, who have waited patiently
while campaign literature and fat issues of the paper were
pushed through the presses, our apologies for the delays and
our thanks for the good-natured spirit in which they accepted
our excuses. Our apologies to our faithful correspondents,
whose copy has been held over each week during the cam-
paign, as news columns were taken up with last minute
political advertisements.

The thanks of the publishers goes as well to the men of
our back shop, who faced with mountains of work, and a
depleted staff, have done a prodigious-amount of work without
complaint.

Dancing Girls Not Necessary

As far as Williams Lake is concerned, most party cam-
paign managers were beginning to believe it was necessaty
to use a troupe of dancing girls on the same program at their
political meetings if they were ever to coax a crowd out. But
Saturday the local Jaycees proved the idea wasn’t necessary.
Put all candidates on the same platform, they contended, and
ihe crowd would come. With an attendance of around 400
people, the chamber proved the theory was correct.

it was a good meeting in every respect. Candidates,
through the careful chcice of Ray Cunliffe as chairman, were
assured every consideration, and they made the most of the
opportunity. The chairman, in turn, was not disappointed in
his appeal to the audience for their co-operation. Questions
were often pointed and sometimes barbed, but there was uo
problem of-heckling to contend with

The chamber’s Get Out The Vote committee can-take a
well-earned bow for their work in publicizing and conducting
what will probably be remembered as one of the best political
meetings to be held in Williams Lake.

Our Show

Next week is Stampede time in Williams Lake again, a
fact that should be noted and acted om by townspeople.

This weekend every businessman should place some form
of decoration on the exterior of his building and should also
be giving some thought to a float for the opening day. :

Just like any show, the Stampede cannot continue to exist
indefinitely without the co-operation of everyone in Williams
Lake, not only in working a part of the Stampedevitself, but
in developing a holiday atmosphere for the occasion. It’s billed
as “the Cariboo’s own Show,” let’s demonstrate that we enjoy

it too. s:

Letter to the Editor

Editor, The Tribune,
Williams Lake.
Dear Si
Re your remarks as to Mr. Cot-
ton’s and Mr. Chetwynd’s relation-
ship.

I carry no brief for either. Put I
consider as an old timer, pioneer of
the Cariboo for over 50 years, M
Cotton deserves a little conside:

Maybe you younger generation do
uot realize there would have been
no railway and no Williams Lake
had not men like Cotton, Hance, Bay:
lif, Norman and BE. P. Lee, ete.,
weathered all hardships and started
to build up a new unexplored terri-
tory. “

When I came in 1903 (years later
than these brave forefathers) our
nearest doctor, telephone or teles

was 70 miles off at the 150 Mile!
House, our nearest.railway, Ashcroft, |
208 miles away. Three white women
| between here and Bella Coola. No
jcars, radio, ete. :

I think Mr. Chetwynd must have
considered these matters, apart from
anything else.

Yours truly,

A. Lee.

(Mrs. Norman Lee)

Ed, Note: The writer seems to be-

lieve that The Tribune levelled criti

cism at Mr. Cotton through the nand-

ling of a recent news story. We he-

lieve that if she would look over the

stories again she would find that this
was not the case,

From Another Viewpoint
“ANOTHER INCENTIVE”
(from The Cariboo Observer)

It will be interesting to see the
results of the latest move to curb the
upward swing of highway accidents
taken last week-end by the B.C. Un-
derwriters Association. Tied in witi
the point system being put into effect
by the Motor Vehicle Branch it may
have a beneficial influence.

The Motor Vehicle Branch decidea
recently that the point system found
effective in many other places on the
continent might be the answer for
B.C. as well. Hence, motorists in-
volved in accidents, especially those
who fall into the “repeater” category
are in danger of having their licences
suspended.

While this measure is corrective
there is, at the same time, a punitive
flavor to it. There can be no denying
the hint of a threat; a sort of don't
have an accident or else warning.

From the point of view of the au-
thorities this is about the only sort
of approach to-the situation that can
be made. It is strictly an authorata-
tive measure. :

But the B.C. Underwriters are
adopting a different tack. They are
providing an inducement for safer
driving. They suggest that the person
who builds up an accident free record
of three years is a worthwhile risk
and they back this suggestion up by

extending a 20 per cent reduction in

insurance premiums. 2

Of course there is the proviso made
that there must not be a driver in
the ‘under 25” category in a family

which has a three-year accident free
record and is in line for the reduc-
tion. But they cannot be condemned
for a cautious approach to the situa-
tion. =
After all, with the accident rate
mounting as it has over the past few
jyears; it is only natural that the in-
jsurance companies should still view
with reserve such a step in reducing
premiums.

Their reduction is a cautious one.
It must be earned. But there is an
incentive to it that should tie in
very nicely indeed with the new ap-
proach being taken in regard to the
“repeaters” who have been so large-
ly responsible for hiking rates to
their present level.
