Let's Go Western

Yesterday was June ist, and locally the only particular
significance the date held was the passing of the deadline for
the good-natured edict of the Stampede Association to get into
the spirit of the 1955 show by wearing a western hat.

It’s all in fun, but much of the entire success of any com-
munity undertaking is assured or dashed by the way the rest
of us react to simple schemes of co-operation like this one.
Some of us shy away from the idea of adopting a different mode
of dress even for such a short time because of a feeling we look
ridiculous. So what? Most of us probably will look about as
natural with a western hat perched over our ears as we would
striding up the street ina toga.

How often have we heard about or witnessed similar
events in other communities where the fact that “everyone
gets into the act” is pointed to as attributable to the success
of the affair,

“Let’s ‘‘go Western” for the month of June and focus the
attention of visitors on the Cariboo’s Own Show. If you still
feel somewhat uncomfortable in that western hat, take com-
fort brother --- you are not alone,

Immediate Is Now

The plans of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway company
to conduct a proper expansion survey here through engage-
ment of a firm of engineers will be regarded as a sound ap-
Proach to the problem. At the same time most of us are
wondering why it took an entire year to come up with the
answer, since officials of the company and our own govern-
ment representative were apprized of the urgency of the prob-
lem last summer.

However, that is water under the bridge, and we sincerely
hope that the “immediate” proposals to alleviate residential
and commercial land shortage will be dealt with in the exact
meaning of the word. In regard to residential property, Mr.
Bowman answered a question on whether more lots would be
available this year by saying “I’d be disappointed if they
weren’t.” If the property does not become available, disap-
pointment will be a complete understatement applied to the
feelings of those looking for lots to construct needed homes.

Maybe It's The Truth

Speaking at the Board of Trade meeting here last Thurs-
day Alex Bowie, president of the Okanogan-Cariboo Trail
Association had some Aard words to say about the services
afforded tourists when they pay a visit to our country.

He was particularly critical of eating facilities anq there
js plenty of evidence that his remarks were justified.

Mr. Bowie flatly charged that little effort is made to serve
attractive meals and he further pointed out that in too many
instances eating places themselves are far from being
attractive.

; Such charges are never nice to hear and it is at once
Tecognized that they do not apply to all our eating places.
However, it is only the local resident who has knowlédge of
the better places and all too often a tourist finds himself in
_ the type of establishment that is certain to leave him with a
soured impression.

The answer is obviously stricter supervision which will
ensure that all cafes are kept to proper standards.

But there is another point raised by Mr. Bowie which is
also worthy of consideration. He suggests that greater effort
might be expended on the preparing of special foods. Using
Sea-food as an instance he reminded his listeners that in the
seaport city of Vancouver, centre of a large fishing industry,
it is impossible to find a strictly sea-food restaurant.

Coming closer to home he added that in what is considered
‘one of the chief beef raising areas of the province it is exceed-
ingly difficult to secure a truly fine steak,

Again Mr. Bowie added that this was not true in all
Instances but these instances were the exception rather than
the rule.

He felt that close attention paid to the cooking and serving
of truly Canadian food might be an attraction which in the
end would out-weigh scenery and good fishing and hunting.

Good food and good places to sleep are still remembered
after other things are forgotten, declared Mr. Bowie, and he
felt if these things were emphasized along with plenty of
friendliness, kindliness and plain everyday courtesy we would
be going a long way toward building up our tourist business—
maybe Mr. Bowie was getting pretty close to the truth.

Mice Menace Forests

Mice will do a great amount of
damage to seedling trees when food
carce. This usually happens in
seasons of cyclic population abund-
ance. The damage is usually greatest
in winter months when a snow blan-
ket gives the mice protection. Sum-
mer da mage occurs if suifigient trash
is present on the forest floor in in
which the mice burrow. Mice will
even fell seedlings and have often
proven a detrimental factor-to the
regeneration of forests.

Important B.C. Islands
The Queen Charlotte Islands have
nished lumber for “ships of the
for two wars, but this is not
the first time that man has used
Queen Charlotte timber for war pur-
Doses. Savage- Haida Indians made
70 foot war canoes from whole trees
and carried out raids on Southern
tribes. History also shows that the
Spaniards also reached the islands
and repaired their ships with Queen
Charlotte lumber. Today these
islands provide a great deal of the
Pulpwood used by our newspapers,
