Too many horses in ‘the spring

The coming of apring haa been
marked for generations by many
traditional symptoms—almost al-
ways pleasant, But a disturb-
ing new trend is manifesting
itself across the land as the sun
swings higher in its annual nor=-
thern migration.

Coupled with the ageless turn-
ing of the young man’s fancy,
or the simple urge to get away

from it all and revel in the,

soft breezes and the awakening
green, has come a phenomenon
of the advancing machine era
to cast a chill shadow.

Traffic pollce call them horse-
power heroes, They are the
motorists who drive the super
-powered cars, itching to break
the bonds of constricting cliy
traffic or the slippery roads
of winter.

It’s natural to feel the pull
of the countryside on a balmy
spring weekend, to wateh the
ipeedometer needle climb as

irrow atreets are left behind

and the fresh, warm air through,

open windows ‘or in a ‘top-down

convertible blows away the musty
atmosphere of winter,

But the abuse ‘of this gift of
escape is causing concernamong
traffic authorities—abuse of the
400-odd horsepower now provided
in many models of standard manu-
facture. Scant years ago only
specially designed racing car's,
with highly trained drivers and
confined to courses off the pub
lie highways, carried this type
of power, Many Second World
War operational aircraft fell
short of this 400 figure.

Now anyone with the newest
driyer’s licence and the extra
to spend on a high
powered model can take to the
road with potentialities only
matched in the past at such places
as Indianapolis oy Mosport speed-

Arena Association,

Last October, ‘the Arena ASSO-
ciation had a joint meeting with
members from Council and the
Recreation Commission, The
object of this meeting was to
explore methods whereby an
arena could be secured for the
district of Terrace, in the short-
est possible time,

During _the course of this
meeting the Council was
delegated with the task of provid.
ing a site, The Recreation Com-
mission was delegated with the
task of investigating all the possi-
ble grants; {for amount, qualifi-
cations for securing, procedure

building and construction with.
costs for best utilization of all

ciation became exclusively a fund
raising group, ;

However, most people were un-
aware of these” developments;
with the result, certain’ execu-
tive members were continually
being harrassed about: the site
allocation, grants available and
amounts, To the misfortune of
all concerned, they ‘were some-

What Bill 33 might have done...

The opponents of Bill 33,
which allows the provincial
government to order labor dis-
putes to compulsory arbitra- -
Udon, have made a great effort
to inflate the bill into the
biggest bogeyman In the his-
tory of labor.’

In debate inside and out-
side the legislature, they have
said it is Fascist slave state
legislation that sets the work-
ing class back 100 years inits
struggle for decent wages and -
working conditions.

It has been called wage cor
trol legislation, an attempt by
a big business government to
bludgeon the working man back
into servitude. —

While the great debate
rages, however, the interior -
lumber workers’ strike has
heen gufetly proving the need.
for some kind of interven-
tion in the worst cases of
labor-management deadlock.

‘One of the major industries
of the B.C. interior has been
closed down for six months,

tire area is suffering. And

if Bill 839 had been passed last

In the first place, the dis-
pute would probably not have
reached this stage. The new
mediation commission pro-
| vided under Bill 33 might have
been able to establish a cli-
mate in which the complex
issue of wage parity with the
coast lumber {ndustry, could
be discussed in a reasonably
impartial way, with both
economic and social factors
in clear. view of both parties, |

But if a strlke occurred,
and dragged on long enough
for the government to decide
it was mecessary, in the pub-
lic interest, to stop it, the
cabinet would Invoke the com-
pulsory arbitration clause.
Both labor and management

tion and recommended 4 set-

proposal would be binding, un-
less both labor and manage-
ment agreed to resume their

JOHANNESBURG (AP) —
reason behind the surprise visit
to South Africa of Avery Brun-
dage, international Olympic Com-
mittee president, was still a
secret today.

Howéver, Frank Braun, presi»
dent of the South African Olym-
pic Games Association, has made
it clear that he believes South
Africa should not withdraw from
the Games in Mexico City next
October.

“My personal view is that if
Mr. Avery Brundage has come
to ask South. Africa to withdraw
from the Glympic Games, we
should not aceeed but stand firm
on the vote ‘taken at Grenoble,”
Braun said. .

Braun said that any decision
on the issue would have to come
from the association's executive
committee as a body, The exec.
utive committee was scheduled
to meet Tuesday night, Braun
said, however, that Brundage had
stated he did not want to address

For example, says PCAA, the
buyer should check for sagging
seat springs and other hard wear
to the car’s interior: good in-
dications of high mileage and
resulting wear to all other parts
of the automobile,

The auto club says that buyers
will save expensive repair bills
by following these procedures:

Check the body for signs of
repalr after an accident, and
for untreated rust areas. .

Check for sagging or hard-
to-close doors. Try all doors
and windows for proper opera-
tion, and inspect glass for
damage,

Inspect tires for tread wear:
