The Unmounted Mounties

We cannot see the reasoning behind the top brass direc- tive that granted the local detachment of the Mounted Police permission to wear their dress uniforms in the Stampede par- ade -- but wouldn’t allow them to ride a horse unless the animals belonged to the force

Surely the local NCO in-charge could have been instructed to see that suitable mounts were secured -- we understand there are some in the country.

The Mounties add a lot of colo annual show leans heavily towards horses and the streets are full of them when the parade goes gaily by. It is, to say the

“Sy least, unfortunate that our representatives of a ‘Mounted “Farce’ should have to be content with that ‘Johnny-come-

latefytke automobile. Those ‘Hush-Hush’ Projects

The Prince George Citizen has raised a question on secur- ity that has been bothering this paper too for some time now.

In recent weeks several large scale construction jobs have been started in the North Central British Columbia area that are connected with our defence program. “On the street” they are said to be very hush-hush, but the Department of National Defence has failed to issue any directive to the newspapers of the area on the manner in which news of these projects should be treated.

In the same manner as The Citizen, we have picked up news of these projects and eae it asithough we were under. security measures -- in other words wé have! printed rothing whatever about them less the information is picked up by parties interested in anything but the conltinued welfare of our country. i a

Our experience in the last war is still vividly enough in our mind that we are inclined to treat word of defence moves as though hostilities had never ceased.

But we belong to the newspaper fraternity and we would like the Department to let us in on. just one secret — how do you want us to treat these stories? Are they for distribution or should we continue to act as self-imposed censors?

By continuing to issue nothing in the way of instructions the department is putting an unfair responsibility on the shoulders of those of us who distribute news.

Letter to the Editor

Editor, The Tribune, Dear Sir: Noticing a letter previous issue of ‘Che ‘Tribune, = I add a few timely remarks anes. the impending school plebiscite?

in a

Jogging one’s memory of a previous school plebiscite, dolled up -in glow- «ng terms and false promises in whic: housands of dollars were voted for a ew school and specilic “Improve- nents.”

The taxpayers got a 4-room schoo} sithout a basement, instead of a six- oom school, with full basement, and anopies, as the original plans v -upposed to have called for.

Instead there is an inadequate 4- com school without a basement ane housands of dollars in the red, for ivé well-equipped school-statf homes nd a fine modern teachers’ luncheon soom, while the pupils are locked oui a the cold and wet weather.

Surely these spendthrifts are noi abouring on the idea they can take ae ratepayers for suckers again on he same old merry-go-round? Ac ording to authorities on the subject, lass education is a failure, and prover practical, for the pupils. Pupils uj © grade 4 have no basic training, dc ot know arithmetic tables and other andamentals necessary toward sound ducation.

Being thousands of dollars in the ed on a previous “School Improve- nent” venture, proves a lack of fore- sight and total mismanagement. Why Aot the learned ones iearn to operate a smaller venture successfully before going many more thousands of dol- lars in the Red? Being non-ratepayers what do they care? Here today —- gone tomorrow!

Who'll pay off these exhorbitant debts? The already overburdened tax- payer and rancher? How many ranchers have range cattle in school / n the event of another depression ‘ra, or a slump in beef prices, how nany generations will it take to pay off this school debt?

Pupils, in general, were far better off, in the rural schools, They received more individual training and were better mannered than mass education and expensive schools can dg for them,
