Our Opinion Bennett decides God is second in command Okay...now let’s get all this straight. Sticking, of course, only to the issues that are fresh in our minds. Right. Now. We are poing to change the name of the great Trans Canada High- way 401 to the B.C. 1. This will cost $100,000 in name changes. Okay. Welfare will be switched in governmental manners so that nobody benefits at a cost of a few million. Okay. Doctors will surely not be allowed to practice where they desire. This would give unnecessary fringes like freedom and besides, medics and medical associations don’t really understand anything anyway. Loff- mark has a degree in political surgery. Okay. Yesterday, dear Wacky, you an- nounced another name change. The Pacific Great Eastern to the B.C. (Bennett Country) Railway. This little expenditure will run in the lots of dollars as miniature Socreds paint the rail cars. Okay. Recently you took” great ‘pridé Wii ridding of all ‘bad’ ads: Our people must not succumb to Drink and Bacco propoganda. Nasties like that would only injure our people. So you will give ethene direction on what we read so that we comprehend the right things. ° Besides, what’s a few newspapers going out of business. Who cares if we receive the RCMP Quarterly with a few pages cut out. What’s a bit more unemployment in the province. The figures are so high anyway. We heard that before you in-_ troduced this Anti-Nasty bill, you let the MLA’s in your cabinet discuss it in their little get togethers before the sitting. We were told you walked in five. minutes before the meeting ended and told the members it would be presented ‘as is”. They didn’t even understand | it. They never saw it. But they don’t have to, Who are they anyway? You are God here, we know that. Right Wacky old pal. Okay. Want to hear something funny. There’s going to be an election next year. Wacky hints at ‘72 in 72”: cam- paign. Our fearless leader wil] be 72 years young. But, maybe, you won't win this time around, ‘Perhaps even, the great fearless leader in the sky will want to resume his position. awit Perhaps, Mr, Bennett, you will die of 1m CRS. “old ager eens UG babe! , crama tasaemcinaawaterteh Maybe we don’t want you to win, © William Cecil.

We have always considered that tourists were good for ihe country, that tourists brought great amounts of money with. them ‘and spent it on hotels, gas, meals, fishing licences and the * like. ‘But, this past summer showed to me that perhaps we are. -- - _ really not benefiting from tourism as much as we think we are, As we all know there has been a great upsurge in the use of -: trailers, campers, buses and: the like by tourists.

John Fryer, general secretary of the B.C.

Fryer also said the BCGEU takes strong objection to recent, attempts to link the smoking — regulation with the government ban on cigarette advertising. “There is absolutely no connection between the two," Fryer said. “We regret that matters affecting the working ° conditions of provincial em- ployees have been dragged into the political arena.” . Fryer also denied suggestions. . - that the regulation was intended | to forbid all provincial em- ployees from smoking in public - while onthe job. The regulation, added to the Civil Service Commission's: Manual » of Personnel Ad- ministration August 15, says, “In the interests of courtesy to. the public, employees are requested to refrain from - smoking in’ areas where the ‘public is served.” ' Fryer: sald the union has the | commission's assurance the the regulation applies only to’ employees who have ‘direct dealing with the public, such as liquor store and motor vehicle Alfice ‘clerks, - “There's really nothing new | about. the’. regulation,” Fryer ° said, Vivil Service manual merely ° “It was placed in the to standardize no smoking rules which had been in effect in most : government departments for = years."

OF the ‘24 campgrounds, 83 percent provided dumping stations, 3 out of 4 had a recreation hall, 71 percent provided showers. Their investment represented 52 percent for land and natural * ponds, 19 percent for buildings, and 11 percent for machinery and equipment.
