The time was a quarter to three, pen,

It happened in year ninety-seven,

When all human eyes turned to heaven,
And cries filled the earth to be free.

There were millions

And each single one on their knee.

Soon the earth and the air seemed to

Letter to the Editor

Dear Sir: *

It is quite logical that we
should not smoke, drink or
otherwise engage in excesses
which might prove to he
injurious to our health and well
being. However, is Mr. W.A.C,
Bennett’s banishment of
advertising by individual
companies of their particular
product going to prove an
intelligent or even a necessary
measure?

In the case of discouraging
purchases of liquor by
individuals this seems to be a
ridiculous form of
discrimination when the B.C.
Government continues to be the
exclusive ‘‘peddler" of the very
product being forced
underground in our public
consciousness. In other words,
we must nat be informed as to
chaice of product, but we- will

certainly be kepl. aware of. =.

on the front. The sign is in itself
the ultimate in suggestive
selling and must often trigger
spontanious purchases by
passersby.

As recently as 1950, as I well
recall, anyone . who ‘had wine
with dinner was either wealthy
or certainly “putting on the
dog”, Over the years we have
been educated to a pretty
matter of fact purchase and
consumption of spirits. - I
concluded this was an effort to
raise us out of the ‘Dark Ages"
of liquor drinking habits and to
effect some reforms in our
archaic liquor laws, Some
changes have resulted ie. no
segregation of the sexes in the
beer parlours, longer open

hours at the Government Liquor -

and greatly increased outlets.
Note how greatly
“reforms" must have Increased
the sale of liquor.

I am very puzzled now as to-

just where we have arrived...
How can. the public’ be
“switched off’ and discouraged
in their purchase of liquor?
Possibly limit the amount sold’

answer? Or again, does the
advertising need to be
banished?

It would seem that Mr.
Bennett's program of
“education on the evils of
liquor would be far more
effective if our government did
not enjoy an exclusive on the
sale of liquor in &.C.
Government you are a dog in
the manger. What you really
are doing is keeping all the
liquor advertising for your own
outlet.

And, gosh, Mr. Premier -

The summer holidays are
over and now after two months
of glorious fun-seeking we must
return to school. Although the
majority of us just bummed
around for the two months
vacation, two students from our
Mount Elizabeth Secondary
School in Kitimat had quite a
different holiday that proved
both interesting and enjoyable,

Fifteen year old Betty
Chioccarello, who traveled to
Japan expressed the trip as
“beautiful”, Betty left by plane
July 9 and travelled to
Vancouver then to San
Francisco where she met one

" hundred and fifty other students

also involved in the exchange.
The student exchange was
originated by the Lion's Club.
In order to participate, Betty
had to write a_ letter-essay

_relating why she would like to

letter and then was asked to
give aspeech, She was chosen
to represent Kitimal in the
Lion’s Youth Exchange.

Upon her arrival in Japan,
Betty spent two days in Tokyo.

She was then taken by-

representatives of the Hyogo
Prefecture to meet her adopted
family the Uchihashi’s who live
in the city of. Nishiwaki near
Kebe. “Japan was very nice

and everybody helped in’.
anyway possible. They gave me _

so many gifts,”

Sightseeing was the main
activity, and Betty visited the
cities. of Hiroshima, Tokyo,

Kyoto, Nara, Himemefi, Kobe, -

and Somoto as wellas countless

others. “Japan,” she observed, ©

“was very crowded.”

- Highlighting. her trip was a
visit’ to a Japanese Folk
Festival, During this Festival,
Betty and the other exchange
students. participated in the

festivities by taking part in a’

parade... Commenting on her .
trip, Betty coricluded, “It was

. the Japanese people who made

my trip-. so. nice,” Betty
returned hone on August 24th.
Valerie Seminuk another.

across ‘our own country: to

the Canadian Council ot
Christians and Jews, Valerie
wrote an application out telling
about herself, her hobbies and
her interests. Alter being
accepted she was on her way.
On June 27th Valerie left for
Quebec by train which departed
from Terrace. Upon reaching
“la belle ville du Montreal’
Valerie was introduced to her
French counter-part, - “Danielle
Methot.

The students were taken on a
tour of Montreal and were taken
to city hall where they were
welcomed to the city. Quebec
City was scheduled next and the
students toured the cily in a bus
then were allowed to roam

through the Old City. Back in.

Montreal, Valerie was then
taken to see Terre des Hommes
or as we know it, ‘Man and His
World", Valerie enjoyed her
trip immensely “It’s too bad it
wasn't longer.” she said.
Valerie and Danieile returned
_ by train te Terrace on the 17th
of July amd for two weeks
Danielle stayed at the
Seminuk’s home. While. in
Kitimat, Danielle visited Alcan,
sailed down the channel to
Kildala Beach and made
numerous trips to Lakelse Lake
and Skoglund Holsprings.

Both girls “agreed that the
highlight of both” their
adventures were the people

they. met and the friendships -

they made.
Valerie, Danielle, and Betty

‘as wellas the thousands of other -

young peo le across Canada
disproved the saying “East is
east and west is west and no’er
the twain shall meet,’’ because
during and interesting and
exiciting summer the students
on the exchange came to realize
that people are people no
matter where they live or what
language they speak. -
