WONDERFUL SUMMER

It is getting a bit chilly, I have two sweaters on and my hands are a little cold. Sum- mer is nearly over and it has been a marvellous one for us. This has been one of the best summers in Europe for years. We have been really fortunate, but I think our luck has almost Tun out. I wouldn’t be sur- prised if our months touring of the United Kingdom is cut short because of the weather, as we are expecting a lot of rain and there is nothing more

miserable than camping in the rain.

Local woman donates historic watch to museum

Billy Barker’s watch has been turned over to Les Cook, in charge of the Barkerville Re storation Project, for display .in the museum.

The watch was turned in by Mrs. A. W. Haddock of Williams Lake. Mrs. Haddock’s parents ran the 59-Mile House during Barkerville’s hey-day.

Barker apparently spent the winter there a couple of times and he left his watch and two gold pokes for safekeeping and never claimed them.

When the tower was built he had a col- lapsible ceiling installed and he used to take great delight in re-

The budget of the Minister of Northern Affairs and Na- tional Resources at Ottawa covers a number of departmental branches. Among these are National Parks, Water Re- . and Northern Administration and Lands. His expenditures involve millions of dollars.

The government has been spending more than you have been paying in taxes. To narrow the gap between income and expenditures, new taxes have been imposed.

The next step should be to reduce expenditures, or at least hold the line. Undertaking new commitments — adding new welfare or other services — will only make it that much more difficult to pay our way. Tell your M.P. at Ottawa that since you are trying to save, you expect government to do
