Out of big photographs.

A mysterious typist types carbons

From his phone booth. He looks

And eager, and boyish.

Who covered up for McCarthy!

Mundt covers up for Potter

Roads and bridges .

C. W. CARON, secretary, North
Shore LPP District Committee:
It was clear at the time of the
sale of the Second Narrows bridge
fo the CNR, that our bridges
were inadeouate. .At that time
Wwe advocated that no sale should
be consummated without a com-
Taitment from the senior govern-
ments that they would finance a
high level bridge over the Sec-
ond Narrows. Our councils at

that time, district and city, re-

commended otherwise. Our prob-
lem not only remains but has
become greatly intensified. =
At the last session of the B.C.
‘egislature, we submitted a pro-
posal to Mr. Tomlinson on which
he expressed agreement to sub-
mit to the Social Credit caucus.
The proposal took in a whole
system of road and bridge de-

velopment for the North Shore.

We are aware that our present
arterial highway, Marine Drive,
is congested now. We can imag-
ine what the situation will be
with the completion of the rail
highway link to Squamish. In
cur opinion, the Squamish road
should ‘extend to Deep Cove.
Such a road must be linked to
Vancouver by a high leyel bridge
over the Second Narows. ~ This

“Plan would provide a second

urgently needed arterial highway

through the three municipalities’
and give a competent link to the °

east end of Vancouver.

Our municipal councils should
make representation to the sen-
lor governments now, on such a
Plan. In this way we will not
be faced with piecemeal develop-
ment based on hindsight rather
than foresight. Son fam

Another theory

H.K., Victoria, B.C.; Any hypo-

thesis about the Chinese being
the first to explore this Pacific
Coast must be approached with
some caution. The idea is an in-
triguing one and has been kicking
around in journalistic circles for
some time. But historians, not-
ably a more cautious breed than

the gentlemen of the fourth -

estate, point out that there is no
really conclusive evidence of
Chinese explorations.

On the other hand, there is
little doubt that the ancestors of
the Indians of the Western Hemi-
sphere arrrived on the North Am-
erlcan continent from Asia in suc-
cessive waves of migration. Inter-
esting new evidence hearing on
this theory was uncovered by the
