Mr. Speare is still feeling hi Way as a for cattle over fledgling member, but since he sits on the government Creele ana Poreupine country, only about side of the house, he undoubtedly has access to tiie ears of authority, It becomes increasingly difficult to reconcile the oft-repeated humanitarian theories of the Socreds with the practical demonstration of pruning we are witnessing in health services. On the surface, we appear to be blindly. committed to Mr. Bennett’s debt Slashing—at the expense of services that are slightly less eye-catching than roads and bridges. The healthsdepartment has builé up an enviable record of rural service in Cariboo, and it is a serviace the people have come to lean on increasingly. Any curtailment should be fought by every organization and individual. The Hospital Stalemate Seale in the organization of the Williams Lake Hospital Improvement District (if that’s the official title) stands as a glaring example of bungling on the government department level. Irony of the situation is that the organization of the district has come to a dead stop through the inaction of a government department far removed from the question of health and welfare. Under statute set-up, district formation, as far as geographic boundaries are concerned; have to come from, or be approved by, the Water Rights Department. Four years ago an early committce from Williams Lake Was assured by this same department that this part of the work was probably the easiest hurdle \in the entire pre-voting planning: Four years later it appears to be the m St diffi- cult, And yet, at 100 Mile House, where a move to rave a hospital district etarted much later, the boun- daries have been approved. . It is little wonder that local organizing commit- tee chairman Alex Scott resigned in protest. His committee has already done a lot of spade work, and some of the pre-canvass publicity releases designed to acquaint landowners with the need for a new hospital represent money wasted because of the time lag that has developed. We sincerely hope the Department of Health and Welfare has broken the stalemate and that Mr. Scott will reconsider his resignation and carry on with his bublic service task. An Example In Service N editorial bouquet to the men of our local fire A department for their determination to spark pub- lic interest in the arena artificial ice project. On top of their volunteer fire fighting duties, which include an evening a week practicing for the eventuality of fire, these men have pledged themselves to a year’s fund-raising endeavour. The firemen have set a fine community example. If it is followed by the rest of us with the same enthusiasm, there will undoubtedly be ice (artificial, that is) in the arena next season SCHEDULE "gp 4 : 5 DAILY SERVICE SOUTHBOUND—Leaves Prince George st 7 a.m. NORTHBOUND—Leaves Nth.
