ALBERNI ANTHROPOLOGY:
The mayor and council have de-
cided to preserve some of the

relics of earlier inhabitants of -

Alberni valley, In this venture
they have the pledged co-
operation of the Indian Chiefs,
Most notable would be some large
cooking pots presented to Alberni
Indians by Governor Douglas for
the purpose of community feasts,

Three of the five castiron pots
are still in the valley in odd
places, One is in a private yard
in four hundred block of Third
Avenue North, being used as a
yard flower pot,

It is doubtful whether the
Owners know the historic value
of the vessel, The pots closely
resemble the cartoon conception
of the pots cannibals used to cook
missionaries,

Next in line in notoriety would
be the hand hued granite grinding
stones from the first paper mill
which operated at the turn of
this century, These are now on
display in front of the miain office
of the Alberni Pulp Mill, but
how the company rates thispriv-
ilege is debatable,

An odd fact concerning the
first paper mill, paper was made
then fromoldrags, The operation
siopped when it became too diffi-
cult vo obtain raw materials,
Shortly after the mill started an
economic depression struck the
country and people quit
discarding their old clothes which
of course,,cut off the supply,

By the time prosperity re-
turned to the country, a new
system for paper making was
evolved and the old rag mill
died an economic death,

There is a cheque in the valley
which should be of some
embarrassment to the Great
White Liberal Fathers at Ottawa.
It’s the first Old Age Pension
cheque issued to 4 senior citizen,
The recipient was a man by the
name of Baine, a pioneer farmer
of Alberni.

The Liberals take credit for
the institution of the Old Age
Pension Act, but the truth is,
the late A,W. Niell, an Indepen-
dent member for Alberni, pre-
sented the Bill to a minority
Liberal Government and it passed

Buck writes

What’s ahead for collective
bargaining? Are new approaches
needed going beyond simple ec-
onomic confrontation with the
boss in this automated world?
These questions are covered by
a leading trade unionist in the

Quarterly,

after much opposition from
government benches,

Had it been blocked, there
would have been an election and
the party could ill afford to go
to the people, very much as now,
Mr. Niell cashed the cheque for
Mr. Baine and for many years
it was displayed in a frame in
his office in Alberni, Mr, Niell
Jr, is still in possession of the
cheque, a tribute to the good
works of his famous father,

COURTNEY COURTs: The

horsemen seem to have a grudge

against young people, The per-
centage of youths before the
courts far exceeds the national
average for possession of alco-
holic beverages, loud mufflers,
hilarity, and other habits this
set the world over is wont to
perform,

A young man apprehended is

almost certain to get a clout

on the ear, no matter for what
reason he is arrested, Van-
dalism cannot be condoned, and
much less brutality at the hands

of those whd are hired to keep

the peace, On the police blotter
a constable puts his occupation
as a peace officer, There should

be far more peace and less

officer exercised,

MULLING THE MUDDLE:
Seems odd the great Yank father
finds it necessary to negotiate
peace in South Vietnam, They
have troops there but they are
only as advisors, The best
advice given was by action, such
as napalm bombs, There are
many thousands of Vietnamese
who have taken that advice and
they have the burn scars to
prove why it was heeded,

Napalm is a terror weapon
of terrible -devastation, invented
by and used by, the world’s
greatest democracy, One thing
can be said for the Americans,
they are willing to go to war in
order to keep world peace, and
the person who figures this out
should be elected for the Nobel
Peace Prize, Three words ter-
ribly abused, Peace, Freedom,
and Democracy.
