, Shares Her Memories With Herald Readers Editor; Ihave decided to give you the opportunity of using these pictures, They are the History of Meanskinisht and how the village was. I take note in reading in Tuesdays paper July 18th. _ 1978 “Cedarvale Matriarch Proves Her Age” and I can imagine the stories told to the Children and I noted one letter from a boy in Cedarvale, who says, I am glad I live in Cedarvale because someday I wish it . would be like the olden days.: Tam sorry to say those days are gone and only live in the memories of the original decendants of Meanskinisht. Wetried tosave the hall built. by our grandparents because it is of sentimental value to us. The petition was not the idea of one person, It was the idea of the original decendanta of Meanskinisht. We DO NOT care less wha buvs the Salvation Army” Property and we have nothing to do with the in- . tended buyer. The Salvation Army have said, they will do all they can to get back our Hall for us and we are dealing with the Salvation arngy and no one We let the Salvation Army know how we felt at the way they went about to sell the property. We believe it should have been properly adverlised and the public given a chance to bid. I have Jaycee’s presidents says There is no such thing as free lunch VANCOUVER -— A free lunch at the cost of a full-course dimer is how, Insurance Bureau of Canada Deputy Chairman Robert E. Bethell see the state of the Canadian economy. in a keynote address to the national convention of the Canada Jaycees © ~ Mr. Bethell, President of the _ Canadian General Group, said that the economy is in trouble because “for too long we have jogged along in the comfortable belief that there might be a free lunch’, He added, however, that people today have been shocked into the realization that “if you ask government for a free lunch it will be provided all right ... but it will cost the peice of a full course dinner to pay for it ... in higher taxes, hidden subsidies, extra ‘levies or special surcharges or corporate assessment ... One way or another paid for by you and mie.” In explaining ‘the delusion’, Mr. Bethell said that the Japanese worker produces 20 per cent more than his Canadian coun- terpart, but is paid anywhere from 30 to 50 per cent less. “We've been able to live with this discrepancy in our world trading because we've existed behind tariff barriers against those goods which, produced by countries with workers like the Japanese, could. have entered this country at far lower coat than similar goods produced by our labor force.’ he pointed out. , Mr. Bethell said that Canadians have been paying higher and higher wages for lower productivity. “It wan't all that long ago that we were second only to the United States in output per capita. But now we have fallen behind West Germany and Japan and France - even behind Australia and Finland! “T] believe that we have. finally come to the testing point, We either dig in our heels and say we've had enough of oavergrown government and bumptious bureaucracy that's strangling our economy ... or we must be prepared to see our economy craw! to a halt and our individual and collective freedoms slip away," he stated. “It's not so long ago that there was grave concern in the business world over the apparent lack of trust which the ordinary citizen had for us, There was an obvious drift toward the idea that the free enterprise business world was geared not 50 ‘peen accused of bidding $28,000 on it and severa other things have been said which I wili not mention. If I had al] that money I cer: tainly would not give it to the Salvation Army. I am_ not that naive. They were given land and building to use and look what they did with it. Once again we are only interested in the building, but, if it ls too late for the Salvation Army to getit back then there is nothing more to be said. Further more Mrs. Sutton was not forcéd to sign the petition-and did so on her own free will, Mary Geraldine Doughte ‘aldine Da r of the Late Joe Bright much to serving the com- munity but toward enabling the powerful to exploit the weak, . oo “But thanks to programs such as the Unemployment Insurance Commission, Medicare and LIP grants, thanks to operations like the Poat Office, the realization is dawning that big govern: ment allows everybody to be exploited. The big credibility gap doesn't exist between the business world and those whom it serves any more; rather it exists between big government and the tax- payers who must dig deeper and deeper to finance its insatiable appetite’, Mr. Bethel] said. He touched on the In- surance Corporation of British Columbia’s monopoly on car insurance for more than four years, and sald that ICBC’s record has been “‘a classic blueprint in the development and growth of a bureaucracy. _ “What really concerns me in all this ... and what should concern everyone’... is this basic issue: If ICBC is as and competitive and efficient as Dr. McGeer and Robbie Sherrell claim it is - then what have they gat to be seared of in throwing open the doors to full, fair and free competition?” Grace McCarthy Smiles “And we have a lot ta smile about,’ said Grace McCarthy, Provinciai Secretary and Minister of Travel Industry. Recently released figures for the month of May show that British Columbia has a record increase in the the numbers of visitors from the United States. The resulta of the survey showed American vehicles up2,7 per cent, U.S. citizens staying one or more nights up 10.6 per cent and overseas visitors up 14.5 per cent, In Canada, American entries decreased in every province during the month of Ma with the exception of British Columbia. As an additional boost to What is obviously golng to be a per tourism year, Touriam British Columbia's Super Smile Campalgn is gaining momentum daily. For the hospitality and service Industries, 300,000 Super Smile Buttons, two million place mats, 10,000 cash register atickers and 5,000 billboard atickers have been distributed throughout the province, The entire program, which is the envy of other provinces, will be completed at a cost of approximately $135,000.00 -- not $2,5 million BS erroneously reported in the press a few wqeeks ago. Last year, British Columbia hosted 11 milllon visitors, making the special smile less than.a penny per person. Mrs, McCarthy said, “We are asking aji people in the hospitality industry. to wear this special button as a warm greeting to our visitors with a feeling that says ~ we care ~ we're glad you're here - come back again."

Each passing year brings the loss of another building, another monument, another piece of history. A tombstone may be stolen or destroyed by vandals. A once-sacred piece of property sold.

A building burns - and with it priceless records and objects of a by- gone way of life, The friendliness, the willingness to help one’s neighbour and to share even the last crust of bread or piece of fish - the taking of a person at his word, these are some of the values that those who remember the old way, miss and mourn, By pictures and stories, such as we are carrying on this page, today’s generation is enabled to cross the gap of years - and possibly benefit from that link - however brief. , Thee Shakespearean Room FORMAL DINING Mon-Thur-8a.m.-12p.m, | F ti-Sat-8a.m.-1 am.
