Automobile Association over a map of part of the province that appeared in a recent issue of the Club’s official bulletin. For an organization that prides itself on, a-knowledge of road conditions and general travel information, the, associa- tion seems to have a peculiar blank spot as far as our immedi- ate environs is concerned. We have carefully looked over the centres listed on the Cariboo Highway, but we couldn’t find Williams Lake anywhere, an oversight that hardly seems justified. j information.

This bulletin goes out to thousands of tlie association!s|and Profes membership, and adversely affects any local campaign to put featea at. the installation of new Williams Lake before the €yes of the tourist world. No Time For Objections In last week’s issue of The Tribune, an advertisement was Placed by the Greyhound transportation company, giving notice of a proposed change in schedule on its run to the north. This the company is evidently required to do by law, since the line also appears stating that any person wishing to file an objection to the proposed change may do so:to the Public Utilities Commission.

It’s too bad that more wasn’t said in advance. It now transpires that there were various comments and suggestions. But they never reached a really public ear. Government by commission was in its usual arrogant rut. ‘ Yet, latterly, there were some blunt advance warnings. The Kamloops Board of Trade predicted what happened in a brief to S. R. Weston, chairman of the commission. Mr. Weston called it libel and a barefaced lie. Only two weeks later the fiasco happened, and a six millon dollar plant was knocked out. Whoever the barefaced liar is, it certainly is not the Kamloops Board of Trade. ow we are going to have an independent engincer’s scrutiny. But whatever he eventually reports, it seems that the B.C. Power Commission’s chairman has already condemned himself completely. . If he could not predict what eventually did happen as well as a small fact-finding committee of volunteer Kamloops citizens, then he was obviously unfitted for his job. If he could see ahead, and yet called these committee members barefaced liars for their warning, Premier Bennett should not have to wait for any inquiry before taking action calculated to wipe such wrong-minded tactics out of public life.

After thrusting aside the wrapping of maudlin sentiment we find the whole article suggestive of the belief that two blacks make a white — which a school child knows to ,be untrue. When comparing the condition of the Sons of Freedom to that of the Catholics Mr. Nicol appears’to over- look the fact that the latter do not g0 about the country destroying the homes of their fellow men; they do not endanger the lives of their iellow citizens by dynamiting railroads and bridges in the name of The Lord, but they do obey our laws.
