Canada was hav- ing such a lovely birthday party and along come that rude General De Gaulle and spoiled it all. The French leader was invited to the birthday party and made speeches invit- ing people of the Canadian province of Quebec to seek their freedom. This would imply, to say the least, that the people of Quebec are not free and perhaps languish in sordid slavery, an idea which hos yet to be formulated by even the most fanatical separatiste. At the time of writing this, Mr. Pear- son in great perturbation, had called a special meeting of the Cabinet. The out- come of the meeting unfortunately can only be speculation, But whether the Canadian Government ordered the an- bags, slapped his wrist, or merely poked its collective tongue at him has little sig- nificance. General De Gaulle is a general of defeat, a soldier whose only military glory was won by clinging to the coattails of his allies. Perhaps the experience power the French government's policy appears to be a constant meddling in international affairs like a naughty We wonder what Terrace has against tourists, Tourists normally are nice people who have travelled hundreds of miles to see this part of the world because they heard it was a place worth seeing. They are also people who go home and, while boring their friends with their experiences, usually manage to! impart a little information about the places they have visited. They are human-type advertise- ments; breathing, speaking segments of Public relations traipsing back to other parts of B.C., Canada and even the Some public relations!

This was to be expected, It wasn’t workable anyhow. Bennett was told that ‘by and labor. He {gnorad them, Then he had to backwater when the govern. ment-owned B,C.

The people of Quebec have their grievances, and their problems. Separat- ism is @ real issue, am expression of French Canadian dissatisfaction with the status quo. Such dissatisfaction must ul- timately be resclved if Canada is to continue as a nation. De Gaulle’s oratory has obviously put the Federal Government into a tizzy. But Canadians should now have the political maturity to assess the aging French President's rallying cry for what it is: the petulant outburst of an old man who dreams of glory because reality is too humiliating. A rocking chair before a warm fire would be a more appropriate podium for the General’s oratory then the nation which is Canada. The Federal Government should speed him on his way, a “Tourists, Drop Dead" sign in the village square, but we couldn't find_ that either. “So we found a restaurant. The food: yecch! A skid road boarding house would give more gracious living. ‘‘So we got into the car and drove on to Prince Rupert, Too fanciful? Not if you take into account the lack of signs to direct and welcome people, the appalling medioc- tity of the majority of local eating houses, the ghastly junk sold as Terrace souvenirs, the blurred postcards which should at fast convey some idea of the' local geography or points of interest. A rah-rah tourist campaign is mostly a waste of money which serves to repel rather than attract visitors.

He crept surreptitiously into the Okanagan and Kootenays, where they love him, and talked about straw. berries and other matters, “ 2 [ Bie cD if ‘or ~~ BILLIARDS OR SPEND IT \ LOOKIN!
