Welcome To The Stampide |

Welcome visitors, to our 26th annual Stampede. \

Whether you aresseeing the show: for the first time, or
have been a regular patron over the years, we know youl
enjoy the free-and-easy. atmosphere that is the Stampe¢’s
main appeal. |

Townspeople do their best in-a suddenly increased myo
of business to-foster this feeling, but it is the competitos
themselves and you visitors from the surrounding district why

bring a breath of welcome fresh air from the opep ranges and
show us once a year how to relax in the time honoured tradition
of the old West.

And speaking of the competitors, a lot of praise is due to
these men who casually risk life and limb in the arena to make
the ‘actual show the intensly interesting spectacle it is, We

wis! them the best of luck in their attempts to secure a share
‘of the prize money. <

Congratulations, Mr. ‘Chetwynd

Our congratulations to Hon. Ralph Chetwynd on his re-
election to the Cariboo seat in the Legislature last Tuesday.
Whether we agree with Mr. Chetwynd’s Political opinions or
not, we must concede that he, and the party he represents,
continue to hold the confidence of the majority of voters
in this riding.

1 sincerely regret if I have been
responsible for the implication that
Mr. Chetwynd had not kept his
word, as I have frankly stated that
I did not know if it was running or
not. To my knowledge and until T
am personally convinced otherwise,
Mr. Chetwynd is a man of honour,
I make this statement quite freely
with the belief that the quality of
a man’s integrity should not be
judged by what I, as the local
chairman of an opposing political
party, may consider the mistaken-
ness of his convictions.
No one who has spent hours ex-
tricating his car from it, appreciates
Cariboo mud, and I do not wish my-
self to be accused of having, either
wittingly or unwittingly, thrown it
at a political candidate. ' : :
