VICTORIA VERBIAGE: It could
be the weather, or possibly the
after effects of the festive sea-
son, certainly it isn’t common
sense, but the Socred Cabinet
Ministers have been making very
odd statements,

From Flying Phil it is ex-
pected for he is a past master
at innocuous innuendo, but when’
the Labor Minister says Labor

and Management should get to- :
‘ to deflect snow. Civil Defence,

gether to iron out the problems
of automation he is only aping
what the B.C, Federation of Labor
has been saying for years, People
must wonder what the function of
the Labor Minister really is if
he can’t call the two factions
together.

Then of course there is the
classic statement of the Minister
of Health at the recent opening
of Ladysmith’s new hospital wing.
When asked whether BCHIS would
take over ambulance service in
the Province, the Minster said:

“Do not even consider a hos-
pital based service, Maintain
your autonomy, Avoid coming
under a senior government dic-
tatorship. Take advantage of all
grants possible, but keep charge
of the operation (ambulances) |
itself.”

Thea there is the classic of
the’decade from HIMSELF him-
self. When asked to comment on
the federal government’s Speech
from the Throne he said no poli-
tician put much stock in those
Speeches, It was when the budget
came down that agovernment re-
vealed what would be done, Which
brings about the query, “why then,

- the Speech from the Throne?”

Another Socred MLA from
Vancouver Centre, while at a
Nanaimo service club luncheon,
told the members of the clubthat

* our system encourages the

spread of dope traffic. Very en-

lightening, and on the same sub-
ject Bonner says he doesn’t be-
lieve anything illegal should be
made legal,

And now it is left to the reader
to figure it all out, Certainly they
cover many subjects and say very

little,
* * *

CIVIL DEFENCE DILEMMA:
The unit in Nanaimo can boast of
a portable hospital which could
be used in case of nucelar at-
tack and if the Nanaimo Regional
Hospital was knocked out by a
blast.

The co-ordinator has a prob-
lem, he can’t decide who would
staff the joint if and when it had
to be used, That is a worry now
but it really wouldn’t be on that

‘Led formulas, but the heart of the

saceful day. At least not to that
learned gentleman; he would be
hors de combat like everyone.

Another problem for Civil De-
fence arose during the heavy
snowfall some weeks back, Half
the roof of the Civil Defence Hall
in South Wellington caved in from
the overweight of snow, and it
had a metal roof too, probably
to deflect blast, but surely not

like religion, is the narcotic of
the H-bomb set.

HYDRO HALLUCINATIONS:
Gabriola Island was without pow-
er for a week during the snow,
and the residents who suffered
through without power rightly
made strong protest to the Hydro
Commission, It seemed over long
to be without a very necessary
service.

A spokesman for Hydro came
up with a dandy reason for the
power failure, He said someone
had severed four of the seven
strands with a rifle shot and the
added weight of snow broke the
line.

This could be true on a million-
to-one shot, but it still seems a
rather longtime to find this freak
break and repair it, One thing is
certain, this chap should get some
type of award for his originality
in excuses, Who knows, the So-
creds might not turn a deaf ear
to this type of genius,

U.S. nuclear
B52 crashes
in Spain

A U.S, B52 bomber has crashed
in Spain while carrying what is
claimed to be “an unarmed nu-
clear warhead,” It is a well-
known fact that planes of the U,
S. Air Force’s Strategic Air
Command (SAC) are in the air
‘24 hours a day, every day of the
year, ready to attack socialist

countries from dozens of direc-
tions simultaneously,

The crash has alarmed hund-
reds of Spanish peasants in the
immediate area of where the
plane went down because, des=
pite assurances there was “ne
danger,” over 400 American
soldiers were using radio active
devices in a search to locate the
missing nuclear bomb,

The US. air force has divided
the crash area into three zones
of radio active contamination and
large crops of tomatoes, onions
and beans have been Name Mick
untouchable,
