Garbage Pick-Up Faces Change<br />
The Town's new garbage pickup<br />
service has already come<br />
under a brief volley of fire from<br />
some of <strong>the</strong> commercial establishments<br />
in Town.<br />
Mr. Bob Jackson, newlyinstalled<br />
manager of Super Valu,<br />
told Council Tuesday that <strong>the</strong> present<br />
arrangement of picking up<br />

week was not sufficient, and he<br />
requested a once daily service.<br />

<strong>the</strong> Daily News of Prince Rupert,<br />

should assure Mr. Jackson that<br />
it will be done."<br />
Mr. Jackson also pointed out<br />
<strong>the</strong> apparent discrepancy in pickup<br />
rates.<br />
"We are now paying $30 for a<br />
three times a week pick-up, but<br />
<strong>the</strong> bylaw quotes $60 for a twice<br />
a day pick-up. We don't need<br />
a twice daily pick-up so what<br />

Mayor Fraser, in agreeing with<br />
a motion from Alderman Laidlaw<br />
that <strong>the</strong> works crew should<br />
pick up garbage from <strong>the</strong> commercial<br />

<strong>Quesnel</strong> Municipal Library has<br />
applied to Council for a second<br />
grant of $2,000, promised at <strong>the</strong><br />

of $2134.99 were purchased.<br />

to Council said that it is<br />
hoped that space now occupied by<br />
<strong>the</strong> Civil Defence will be made<br />

TOWN BUILDING PERMITS<br />
PLUMMET OVER $400,d00<br />
IN YEAR'S FIRST HALF<br />
The tight money situation is<br />
really being felt in local building<br />
activity, latest figures on<br />
building permits Issued during<br />
June and <strong>the</strong> first half of <strong>the</strong><br />
year, show.<br />
The statistics, compiled by<br />
Building Inspector Harold Bond,<br />
reveal that in <strong>the</strong> first six months<br />
of 1966 <strong>the</strong> value of building<br />
permits issued by <strong>the</strong> Town<br />
slumped by $453,473.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> current January-June<br />
period total value of permits issued<br />
amounted to $488,497 compared<br />
with $941,970 in <strong>the</strong> same<br />
period of 1965.<br />

TOURISTS SUPPORT LACKING<br />
Twice as many tourists<br />
are calling at <strong>the</strong> Tourist<br />
[Bureau in Le Bourdais park<br />
this year than in 1965, latest<br />
figures from <strong>the</strong> Bureau<br />
shows.<br />
During June some 1,609<br />
visitors reported to <strong>the</strong> Bureau<br />
compared with only 820 in<br />
June last Year.<br />
Meanwhile tourist activities<br />
in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cariboo</strong> came under<br />
discussion at Council Tuesday,<br />
following receipt of a letter<br />
from Minister of Recreation<br />
and Conservation Kenneth<br />
Kiernan that full use of <strong>the</strong><br />
regional matching grant to<br />
publicize B.C. tourist activities<br />
were not being met.<br />
Mayor Alex Fraser said<br />
from <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cariboo</strong> Tourist<br />
Association's point of view <strong>the</strong><br />
CTA was not being given full<br />
support from business communities<br />
in <strong>the</strong> area.<br />
He said that support of<br />
<strong>the</strong> CTA was bad at <strong>the</strong> North<br />
End of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cariboo</strong> "And I<br />
refer to <strong>Quesnel</strong>, which is<br />
dragging its feet," he said.<br />
"Support for <strong>the</strong> CTA is better<br />
at Clinton than in <strong>Quesnel</strong>,"<br />
he pointed out.<br />
Mayor Fraser said it was<br />
not necessarily <strong>the</strong> community's<br />
fault. " Perhaps <strong>the</strong>y<br />
have not been asked to help<br />
in <strong>the</strong> right way," he said.<br />
His Worship finally said<br />
it was shameful that govern 1<br />
ment money for tourism was<br />
going unspent and he proposed<br />
calling a meeting of<br />
town's business people, probably<br />
<strong>the</strong> last week in July,<br />
to see what support could be<br />
given to <strong>the</strong> CTA.<br />

minal.<br />
Members agreed to view five<br />

districts for <strong>the</strong> purpose of purchasing<br />
same for future school<br />
sites.<br />
Future use of <strong>the</strong> now-empty<br />

I IIII mil<br />
amined but, as <strong>the</strong>re are Insufficient<br />
students available, no Immediate<br />
plans for Its occupancy<br />
were decided.<br />
Details of <strong>the</strong> discussion for<br />
a Regional College at <strong>the</strong> recent<br />
NIB Convention were forwarded,<br />
and <strong>the</strong> need for cooperation<br />
between <strong>the</strong> school districts<br />

in curriculums, and building developments.<br />

concerned with <strong>the</strong> education system,<br />
nothing was decided.<br />

only $62,020 — or about six<br />

Health Tips<br />
A competent, up-to-date doctor<br />
in Canada today spends from <strong>the</strong><br />
day he begins university to <strong>the</strong><br />
day he retires continuing his<br />
training and education, <strong>the</strong> Canadian<br />
Medical Association says.<br />
Every doctor has be a life-long<br />
student.<br />
Training for medicine starts<br />
with three or four years of premedical<br />
subjects, with emphasis<br />
on science, and also a wide<br />
range of o<strong>the</strong>r subjects of <strong>the</strong><br />
student's own choice. Four years<br />
as a medical student follow, during<br />
which are taught <strong>the</strong> wonders<br />
of <strong>the</strong> human body, how to preserve<br />
it in good health, what ills<br />
afflict it, how to relieve <strong>the</strong>se<br />
Ills, and most Important, how to<br />
prevent <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
After graduation, education of<br />
<strong>the</strong> doctor continues on <strong>the</strong> average<br />
for approximately 40 years.<br />
First <strong>the</strong>re is a year as a hospital<br />
intern. After internship, some<br />
enter a career devoted to family<br />
practice while o<strong>the</strong>rs spend four<br />
more years of hospital training<br />
for specialty practice. And o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
enter public health, teaching, research<br />
and administration or<br />
some o<strong>the</strong>r branch of medicine.<br />
Whatever path <strong>the</strong> doctor<br />
chooses, says <strong>the</strong> C.M.A., in<br />
this era of explosive scientific<br />
advance, he must spend his entire<br />
active professional life as a student,<br />
keeping abreast of new developments.<br />

Lemmon's Hannibal Straight<br />
Eight. It is, indeed, a black monster<br />
right out of an Indianapolis<br />
nightmare. It is equipped with a<br />
hidden cannon which pops out to<br />
blast enemies; it carries a fiery<br />
nose cone (for burning through<br />
icebergs or roasting wienies),<br />
and a multi-colored smoke<br />
screen device. Its body is perched<br />
on a hydraulic elevator that<br />
will lift it eight feet off<strong>the</strong> ground.<br />
It also has an umbrella top and six<br />
chain-driven wheels.<br />
As <strong>the</strong> black-hearted villain in<br />
"The Great Race," Lemmon puts<br />
his car to every nefarious use as<br />
a crisis arises. He fires his cannon<br />
at <strong>the</strong> hero's gasoline drums,<br />
he uses <strong>the</strong> smoke screen to abduct<br />
Miss Wood from <strong>the</strong> hero's<br />
side, and he aims <strong>the</strong> red-hot<br />
nose cone at almost anyone that<br />
gets in his way.<br />

Ideas For Shower Gifts<br />
Bridal showers make for a<br />
busy season. And this means<br />
gifts a plenty, gifts that take<br />
very special thought. There are<br />
so many basic things essential<br />
to setting up a new household.<br />
Yet how much more fun it is to<br />
give shower gifts that are attractive<br />
to open and exciting to have.<br />
So why not combine <strong>the</strong> two and<br />
give gifts that are both practical<br />
and pretty?<br />
Fortunately, today's manufacturers<br />
are right <strong>the</strong>re with a helping<br />
hand and almost everything<br />
that is needed In a home is available<br />
In a good-looking form.<br />
Take laundry equipment, for Instance.<br />
What could be more mundane?<br />
What could be more necessary<br />
for <strong>the</strong> new homemaker?<br />
And what could be better looking<br />
than some of today's laundry<br />
aids?<br />
One gift that you might select<br />
Is a hamper in brilliant Italian<br />
or Mexican straw. For <strong>the</strong> bride<br />
who can't plan jon having a dryer<br />
right away you might just give<br />
a length of clo<strong>the</strong>sline with an<br />
assortment of colourful plastic<br />
clo<strong>the</strong>spins or a large plastic<br />
clo<strong>the</strong>sbasket. An ironing board<br />
in brightly painted metal would<br />
surely be a successful choice<br />
You might also join forces with<br />
ano<strong>the</strong>r shower guest and present<br />
<strong>the</strong> bride with one of <strong>the</strong><br />
new good looking steam, dry<br />
and spray irons or give an assortment<br />
of ironing aids packed<br />
in a sturdy, colourful basket<br />
The basket itself can <strong>the</strong>n be<br />
used again and again as a handy<br />
storage spot for everything needed<br />
at Ironing time.<br />
The basket might be filled with<br />
any number of things. A pretty<br />
'Th^pvertisemen^^ by <strong>the</strong> Liquor Control Board orT^heGovernment ot BHtisrCoiunibia"<br />
say for Cautling Pilsener SUdl<br />
A British Columbia favorite for more than Forty years.<br />
pastel ironing board cover would<br />
certainly be appreciated. To<br />
go with it you might add one of<br />
<strong>the</strong> new flower-bedecked ironing<br />
board dust covers. You might<br />
also include a press mit or a<br />
"ham". These come in both<br />
plaids and prints and <strong>the</strong>y are<br />
wonderful to have on hand for<br />
pressing shaped garment areas.<br />
A press cloth is ano<strong>the</strong>r essential.<br />
Heavy cheese cloth is an<br />
excellent press cloth and will be<br />
an inexpensive addition to <strong>the</strong><br />
basket. And don't forget spray<br />
starch. This, too, comes in attractive<br />
containers.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r basic Ingredient for<br />
<strong>the</strong> homemaker's ironing set isa<br />
sprinkling can. Even <strong>the</strong>se are<br />
available in "exotic" shapes and<br />
can be found in everything from<br />
glass to brass. For <strong>the</strong> traditional<br />
minded bride you might<br />
choose an antique,bottle and add<br />
a sprinkler cap, for <strong>the</strong> modern<br />
girl a brass spray can. Then as<br />
a final touch, pop in a long hand<br />
led brush or a sponge to use in<br />
catching flecks and lint while<br />

WITH KATE ANDRADE<br />
After last weekend, I'm convinced tliat every Canadian<br />
woman should go on a camping trip at least once a year!<br />
And if you think I say that because it's an "enjoyable<br />
experience", you're wrong.<br />
Unfortunately, I'm not <strong>the</strong> nature lover or <strong>the</strong> hardy<br />
type who revels in "roughing it" in <strong>the</strong> great outdoors. But<br />
it's a wonderful lesson to those -- like me -- who take com<br />
mon luxuries and modern conveniences for granted.<br />
Believe me, after just three days of camping, even <strong>the</strong> most<br />
rustic indoor plumbing, lukewarm water, <strong>the</strong> funniest shaped<br />
bathtub, or <strong>the</strong> saggiest bed looks out of this world.<br />
Doctors say <strong>the</strong> human body is marvellous at adapting it<br />
self to different living conditions. Well, mine didn't adapt ~<br />
It only rel)elled.<br />
For some reason, tlie experience of sleeping on a hard,<br />
cold sleeping bag in a chilly tent filled with mosquitoes<br />
didn't nil me with blissful joy.<br />
And oddly enough, <strong>the</strong> opportunity to brush my teeth,<br />
wash my face, or do <strong>the</strong> dishes in a cold river didn't<br />
excite me one bit.<br />
Call me a softie, an oddball, a coward, or a city girl, but<br />
I won't change my mind. I just prefer snuggling up to warm<br />
blankets, turning a tap for hot water, using indoor plumbing,<br />
and having a closet full of clean clo<strong>the</strong>s, that's all.<br />
I'm not discouraging or criticizing those who like camp<br />
ing — far from it. Ra<strong>the</strong>r, I admire <strong>the</strong>ir makeup and ability<br />
to make <strong>the</strong> most of it.<br />
But from now on, this gal will let <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs do <strong>the</strong> pioneer<br />
ing while she enjoys <strong>the</strong> ordinary, dull, lifeless existence of<br />
appreciating civilization.<br />
* * *<br />
Personal observations gleaned from <strong>the</strong> recent Teen Town<br />
55-mile hike to Barkerville.<br />
1. The average woman is undoubtedly more money minded<br />
than a man. While selling booklets of poetry it was usually <strong>the</strong><br />
woman who sweetly refused whereas <strong>the</strong> man seldom said<br />
no. I wonder if most men are really poets at heart, or if <strong>the</strong><br />
women are just more practical???<br />
2. Boys will always l)e boys where girls are concerned. . .<br />
Although our fa<strong>the</strong>rs and grandfa<strong>the</strong>rs like to think of <strong>the</strong>m<br />
selves as dashing debonalre Don Juans in <strong>the</strong>ir day, <strong>the</strong>y<br />
would be surprised at <strong>the</strong> stiff competition offered by some<br />
of <strong>the</strong>ir teenage sons and grandsons. The trip was not without<br />
some humorous and inter osting examples of <strong>the</strong> way in which<br />
<strong>the</strong> modern male continues to pursue his hobby -- girls.<br />
3. Some person will make a million when he invents a port<br />
able electric blanket made especially for camping trips.<br />
Besides that, hundi'eds of cold-blooded females (like me) will<br />
adore him.<br />

Fashions, as with most o<strong>the</strong>r things in life, usually go in<br />
cycles. And so it is witli batliing suits. . . .<br />
For <strong>the</strong> many "modern" swimmers who aren't aware of<br />
<strong>the</strong> fascinating history behind <strong>the</strong>ir swim wear, a group of<br />
researchers recently discovered some revealing facts about<br />
iMithing suits.<br />
—The bikini isn't as modern as most people think. Wall<br />
frescoes in <strong>the</strong> ruins of Pompeii, dating back to 79 A.D.,-<br />
show a bathing beauty in an abbreviated two piece swimming<br />
costume.<br />
--People of <strong>the</strong> Middle Ages didn't swim and rarely ba<strong>the</strong>d,<br />
because <strong>the</strong>y feared it would help to spread <strong>the</strong> Plague. In<br />
stead, <strong>the</strong>y used perfumes to keep <strong>the</strong>mselves "sweet."<br />
--People of <strong>the</strong> early 1800's regarded a dip in <strong>the</strong> ocean as a<br />
health measure. The ladies of that time dove into <strong>the</strong><br />
surf wearing long flannel cloaks which reached to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
heels.<br />
—In <strong>the</strong> mid-19th century, men in striped woollen trou<br />
sers, reaching to mid-calf (can't you just imagine your<br />
fa<strong>the</strong>r?) ogled <strong>the</strong> bathing beauties who were dressed in about<br />
30 pounds of blouse, skirt, pantaloons, and stockings.<br />
--In 1920, beach regulations barred suits -- men's or<br />
women's — which came lower on <strong>the</strong> chest than a line with<br />
<strong>the</strong> armpits or more than four inches above <strong>the</strong> knees. Police<br />
sometimes patrolled <strong>the</strong> beaches carrying yardsticks.<br />
--Bikinis were "discovered" in <strong>the</strong> 1940's, as was <strong>the</strong> use<br />
of a diatomite filter to remove unwanted organisms from<br />
water.<br />
—And <strong>the</strong>n, of course, in <strong>the</strong> early 1960's, along came <strong>the</strong><br />
toplesses, which would complete <strong>the</strong> cycle started by Adam<br />
and Eve.<br />
I believe we call it, "'<br />
