SPORTS 

With 

G. GRAF 

Last weekend marked the close of the basketball 

season with the Junior Tournament held in Quesnel. 

Both boys and girls teams from Cariboo won the 

tournament In final games against Quesnel Secondary 

teams. Teams from Quesnel, Cariboo Wells, 100 Mile 

House, and Williams Lake took part with games played 

in both Cariboo and Quesnel Secondary school gyms. 

In the boys matches, Cariboo defeated Wells in the 

first game while Quesnel took 100 Mile House in the 

second game 26-24. In the third boys game, 100 Mile 

House downed Wells to leave the way open for Quesnel 

and Cariboo teams in the final game. The outcome 

was 34-33 score in favor of the Cariboo boys. 

Only the Quesnel scores were available from the girls 

games and in their first game the Quesnel Junior 

Girls defeated Wells by a 29-13 score. In the final 

game, between Cariboo and Quesnel, Cariboo came 

out on top of a 19-12 score to win the tournament. 

On Saturday night, Quesnel Secondary's own Spartans 

were host to the Harlem Comedy Kings in a very 

entertaining basketball game. The final score was 

76-63 for the Comedy Kings with Sugarfoot scoring 

20 points, Bob House 19, and Showboat and Earnest 

Hankin each netting 16 points. The Spartans put up a 

very ardent opposition to the comedy Kings despite 

the completely new style they were up against. Reg 

Mastin was Quesnel's high scorer with 12 points while 

Wayne Cave and Bob Palminter got 11 each. 

In high school bowling action last week the girls 

high single went to Vivian Gardner with a score, of 

199 and Irene Knoke rolled the high double of 315. 

The boys high single and double went to Ray Parminter 

with a high single of 235 and a high double of 

430. The team standings are:

men is on our present education 

system. 

The dictionary defines "education" 

as "the systematic 

development and cultivation of 

the natural powers by inculcation, 

example, etc." 

As our world becomes more 

complicated,, years spent in 

formalized schooling have to 

be increased and, consequently, 

our boys and girls are 

getting older arid older before 

they complete their education. 

Of course, we know that 

education is never really complete 

and further training and 

re-training may be needed later 

on in life, but the question 

I want to ask you is this. 

Do you think children should 

start school at an earlier 

age? 

Just recently I learned that 

kindergarten is started at 

three years of age in New 

Zealand and school at five. 

In England, schooling is also 

started at five. 

Any of you with three-year 

olds know how interested they 

are in everything about them, 

the many questions they ask, 

their quick and accurate mimicry 

of new words and 

sounds, and their desire to 

"help" with the household 

chores. 

What a wonderful age to 

start teaching them, while they 

are eager to learn. They could 

pick up oral French so easily 

and if taught by French-Canadian 

teachers, their accents 

would be perfect. 

What do you think of the idea 

of having kindergartens run by 

our educationdepartments 

under the school system using 

trained personnel (not neceissarily 

fully-qualified teachers, 

but there is a kinder 

garten extension course at 

UBC)? 

By the age of six, we are 

told, most children have already 

been molded in their 

habits and many have formed 

bad ones which are hard to 

change. They find it hard to 

sit at one task for 10 or 15 

minutes, because they have not 

been trained to do so at an 

early age. 

A three-year old will sit 

^hile listening to nursery rhymes 

and stories being read, 

and will be memorizing these 

quite unconsciously as will be 

discovered if a mistake is 

made or it is read differently! 

This attention span could be 

extended if interesting activities 

were presented at different 

times during the morning. 

(I wouldn't suggest that 

the kindergarten be held for 

an all-day session). 

Some will say that kindergartens 

are just baby-sitting 

services, but they can be much 

more if run properly. However, 

with more and more 

mothers working outside the 

home, perhaps it is time we 

started thinking of nursery 

schools such as they have in 

other countries for younger 

children. 

We have to face the fact that 

the number of working 

mothers is increasing at a 

great rate. Even if some feel 

it is detrimental to small 

children if their mothers 

work, it is often a dire necessity 

when raising the family 

alone, or if the husband is ill 

or not making enough to keep 

the family. 

How much better it would 

be if nursery schools were set 

up where these children could 

learn to play, work and live 

together under the supervision 

of trained people. 

True, this idea would cost 

money but, in the long run, 

it would not cost any more than 

treating emotipnally disturbed 

children or paying out social 

assistance to school dropouts, 

or keeping juvenile delinquents 

in correctional 

schools or perhaps prison. It 

is worth thinking about and 

if enough people are in agreement, 

doing something about 

it, by sending in suggestions 

and resolutions to the proper 

authorities. 

Flight to Danger 

For Little Theatre 

Rehearsals are well under 

way for the Quesnel Littie 

Theatre's spring production.

ago. * 

Directed by Sid Kerrigan, 

the play will be presented for 

two nights only - April 1 and 

2 at the Quesnel Secondary 

School Auditorium. Tickets

Planning The Future Quesnel 

So Quesnel is moving into the planning 

era. Council's announcement Monday 

that a firm of Victoria engineers is 

to plan our Town's future development 

will cause consternation to some. 

We can appreciate the wisdom of 

Council in seeking professional guidance 

on the town's development, but we cannot 

help feeling that we shall all end up 

like a bug under a microscope, or a 

guinea pig to be prodded and probed, 

to find out what makes us scientifically 

tick. 

The Mayor and Aldermen say 

quite rightly, that it is a matter of pure 

economics so that we can make the best 

possible use of our land in the future. 

But they have also admitted that some 

of us will be quite shocked by what the 

planners turn up. 

Admittedly we must move forward 

and call to our aid all the modern 

* implements which are available to us. 

, But it is a present day fact of life that 

we can suffer from too much planning, 

and the phrase "over-planning" will be 

common to many. 

Judging by the tenor of Council 

they are keenly aware of too much planning, 

and seem at great pains to re- 

. assure us that we shall not end up as 

mere statistics in a book to be used 

- to prove scientific or economic point 

without regard to personal feelings. 

It must be remembered that we 

, are all individuals, and like to be treated 

* as such. Canada today is one of the few 

countries in the world where freedom 

of thought, action and deed is still the 

right of the individual. 

Perhaps we are worrying needlessly, 

but the title "Community Development 

, Plan" has a rather ominous ring about it. 

Council has stated they will be free 

>to change certain unacceptable aspects 

of the plan, and that they will have two 

alternatives: 

1. To use the plan as a guide, 

changing it in the face of local requirements, 

or, 

2. Finally to accept it as a 

blueprint of the future and thereby 

stick to their guns. 

We hope it will come out strongly 

in favor of the first choice. 

In these modern times we are beset 

from all sides by a bevy of time-andmotion 

study experts, consultants, 

analysts and planners, all intent on 

organizing our lives down to the minutest 

detail. But it is often forgotten that they 

frequently defeat what they set out to 

achieve. 

There is nothing, more calculated 

to stifle ambition, competition, and the 

urge to expand than a plan too rigid in 

its requirements, or too narrow in its 

application. 

We have only to look at those nations 

which have adopted strict planning 

policies, and followed unreservedly their 

book of rules to see the effects. 

In most cases they are downright 

failures. 

The Soviet Union, arch planner of 

all times, is a case in point. For years 

from the end of the Second World War 

Russia followed a doctrine that had been 

planned down to the last decimal point. 

What happened? 

Production lagged, uniformity was 

the order of the day; and bureaucracy 

ruled the roost. 

It is only in recent years that 

Russia has relaxed its stringent planning 

policy to copy some of the techniques 

of the West. 

Countries like India, and Egypt, 

both slavish followers of five-year plans, 

have seldom achieved their targets. 

Britain, too, is a classic example of 

planning gone wrong. 

The life of the average Briton is a 

constant round of form-filling frustration. 

Medicine is planned for them, bus 

routes are planned by higher authority, 

and even the development of a school 

girl's bust is the subject of a current 

tax argument. 

Red-tape and bureaucracy is king 

over all, and often the only personal decision 

that the average man in the street 

there has to make during his day of 

toil is which channel to turn his television 

to at night. 

We are not suggesting that we in 

Quesnel, or even Canada, are ever likely 

to get to such a tragic situation, but the 

dangers threaten only briefly before they 

overwhelm. 

Perhaps we take too jaundiced a 

view of the situation. 

Rather than seeing the gloom inherent 

in an overdose of planning we 

should, perhaps, realise that Town elders 

are also individuals, and rely on their 

good sense and judgement to see that 

this plan evolves happily. 

We are not against all planning, and 

no town can be allowed to develop 

haphazardly. We recognize that there 

are two fine Canadian examples where 

good planning is producing two beautiful 

modern cities, namely Montreal and 

Toronto. 

If the plan for Quesnel works well, 

and produces something of which we 

can be justifiably proud, we will be the 

last to complain, and the first to congratulate 

our Council. 

What A Way To Run A Railroad. 

Many thousands of people find 

Quesnel a very attractive place. 

Those that do not fall under its 

charm, at least usually admit that it is 

a pleasant enough town, with friendly 

. people, who ask little more from life 

than to get along amicably with each 

' other and be allowed to pursue their 

normal business pursuits. 

But the Pacific Great Eastern Rail- 

,way apparently does not look at us in 

this light. They run a glaringly inadequate 

'service through the town, which can be 

cut off for months given the slightest 

excuse, keep many of our lumber mills 

, short of vital box-cars, and now apparently 

ignore a reasonable request from 

.the Cattlemen's Association for a spur 

line at the stock yards. 

Perhaps the P.G.E. isn't very interested 

in Quesnel but they should' 

* realize that cattle sales are important lo 

.the economy of our town. 

Many good honest citizens have 

sunk a lot of hard earned money into 

the new stockyards, and the simple 

matter of laying a few feet of spur line 

to enable cattle, to be transported away, 

is hardly a decision which needs the 

attention of the President of the company. 

Council is right to support the Cattlemen's 

repeated claims. They should point 

out to the railway company and its 

President if it goes that far that the 

continued profitability of future stock 

sales in Quesnel will depend largely on 

the efficiency of the total operation. 

If buyers, and sellers alike feel our 

transportation arrangements are too 

primitive and costly, then Quesnel will 

cease to get their support. 

This will benefit no-one. 

The town will lose out; the cattlemen 

will lose out, and so too will the 

railway. 

If our voice will do any good to 

those protests already launched then we 

will say: 'Wake up PGE, and start running 

your business in a businesslike way.' 

A Day Like Any Other Day 

Tomorrow is the official start of 

' British Columbia's 1966 centenial centennial 

celebrations. 

Throughout the province Boy Scouts 

^ will be lighting bonfires to mark this 

' occasion. 

Community events and firework displays 

are scheduled for Vancouver Island 

- and in the lower mainland. 

But in Quesnel it seems no one sees 

' fit to strike a single match extra in 

. celebration. 

No bonfires are planned and no 

-events that we can find are scheduled 

by other organizations. So for us Friday, 

' 11 will be just another day and without 

making any mark in the history books. 

We are not sure that all the blame 

lies at Quesnel's own door. The publicity 

efforts from the B.C. Centennial Comrnittee 

in Victoria leaves much to be desired, 

but an event such as this surely 

needs no promting from outside agencies. 

We have known long enough about 

centennial year and it isn't too much 

to ask that due recognition of the event 

be accorded in Quesnel. 

We are proud of belonging to B.C. 

and given the opportunity, we would 

think, would like to show it in some 

tangible form. 

700 TIACHERS AT 9UISNIL CONVINTION MAKCH 11 

"Education week and Teachers convention all in one week seem to be a bit too much for them, but hang on old man, 

reinforcements are arriving. . ." 

By B.R. LEBOE 

M.P., Cariboo 

The province of Ontario 

brought down a budget the 

other day, and the most striking 

feature of this budget was 

the increase in taxation, which 

would cost the taxpayer of Ontario 

the sum of $28 a year on 

a per capita basis, according 

to news reports that made a 

breakdown of these costs. The 

3% sales tax is being raised 

to 5%. This does not relieve 

the taxpayer of the hospital 

premium, as was the case in 

B.C., however. One wonders 

when the people of Ontario 

will get their head out of the 

sand and realize that they are 

being taken for a taxation ride, 

because of the way in which 

their government is handling 

their natural resources — not 

bringing policies that will get 

the province out of debt. 

A great deal of the tax 

dollar is going to pay debt 

charges on a colossal provincial 

debt. Most of the money 

paid out on this debt will 

no doubt go to the United 

States of America in payment 

on interest on bonds, and to 

Centennial 

Profile 

John Stuart 

When Simon Eraser's men 

met hostile Indians at the 

mouth of the great river they 

had explored In 1808, It was 

the last straw. Buffeted by the 

rapids, worn out by long portages, 

frightened by their remoteness, 

they were ready to 

desert. It was Eraser's clerk 

and lieutenant, John Stuart, 

who stood by him and calmed 

the men and convinced them 

that only by pulling together 

could they survive. 

Stuart was born In Strathspey, 

Scotland in 1779. He 

joined the North West Company 

In 1799 and was sent to 

the Peace River where he 

joined Eraser's expedition to 

the coast. Later he became 

a partner In the firm and 

in 1821 when a merger took 

place with Hudson'sBayCompany, 

Stuart became chief factor. 

He returned to Scotland 

In 1839 and died there eight 

years later. Eraser, named 

Stuart Lake in his honor. 

At one point in his career 

Eraser suggested Stuart 

should rewrite the Eraser 

journals which Eraser readily 

admitted were "exceedingly 

ill-wrote, worse worded and 

not well spelt." But Stuart 

never undertook the task. 

The historian Bancroft explained 

later that Stuart's own 

journals were "very badly 

written. . .by far the worst 

specimen of literary composition 

by a fur trader" that 

he had ever seen, with exception 

of Eraser's journals. 

But then, penmanship never 

conquered a wilderness. 

Observafions 

European countries through 

the ownership of bank shares, 

directly or indirectly. 

How long will it take the 

people of Ontario to wake up 

and look to the 

western pro> 

vinces for 

guide lines. 

What would 

Ontario and 

Quebec have 

done if British 

Columbia had ; 

not purchased \ 

from these two provinces over 

one thousand million dollars 

worth of goods in the last 

year? The buying power ofthe 

West is keeping these two 

wretched eastern provinces 

from a depression. No wonder 

there is great opposition 

to the industrial development 

of B.C. and Alberta. In 1935, 

it took fifty-one cents of every 

dollar (tax dollar) collected 

by the province of Alberta,, 

to pay interest on a debt of 

one hundred sixty-seven million 

dollars. Today Alberta 

has about six himdred million 

dollars in surplus, over 

and above her obligations. 

Very few people are willing 

to swallow the old bimkum 

that oil made the difference. 

Oil made it POSSIBLE, but 

oil did NOT make the difference. 

It was government 

policy that made the difference. 

Ontario is richer in 

capital assets and resources 

than is the province of Alberta. 

Much of the assets of 

Ontario are there because of 

the profits of eastern firms 

accumulated through sales to 

the western provinces. 

Take our own province of 

British Columbia. In 1952, 

the province had a net debt 

of $222,454,000.00 and assets 

of only $188,706,000. In simple 

terms this means that 

our liabilities exceeded oiu* 

assets by about $24,000,000. 

Compare this figure and state 

of provincial financial affairs 

with the record as of December 

31, 1965. Here we have no 

net debt charges, such as are 

giving Ontario its killing tax 

load. On the contrary, we see 

that the debt Of $222,000,000 

has disappeared and we have 

increased our assets (not including 

those of crown cor 

porations) from $188 million 

to $846 million. This state of 

affairs in British Columbia 

has resulted in further tax 

reductions and grants instead 

of the tax increases facing 

the people of Ontario. 

Is BritishColumbiasomuch 

richer than Ontario? While 

British Columbia is, in my 

view, the jewel province of 

Canada, it is not richer in 

natural resources than is Ontario. 

The difference is in the 

handling of public affairs. This 

means simply that we have 

been extremely fortunate to 

have a government in B.C. 

headed by a man of ability 

and integrity and of unusual 

unselfish dedication to public 

service, assisted by some of 

the l)est men that Canada has 

ever produced. The vision and 

drive of the Premier of British 

Columbia, is an inspiration 

and guide to these very 

able men associated with him. 

Because I am critical, at 

times, of certain of their policies, 

does not mean that I do 

not recognize the great asset 

these men are to our province. 

It has been said that this B.C. 

budget is an election budget. 

I would not be at all surprised 

if there would be an election 

June 13. On June 9 we have 

the fourteenth anniversary of 

the election that saw the Second 

Social Credit government 

in Canada. Since it would appear 

that the Government 

plans its work on the broad 

time period of seven years, 

this would be a logical time 

for an election to set up a mandate 

for what easily could be 

the commencement of the seven 

greatest years in the province's 

history. 

I think it was Mr. Manning 

of Alberta, that said opposition 

is not undesirable, but not 

altogether essential if the 

memljers that are elected are 

doing their job. I think this 

is becoming more apparent 

in British Columbia. Members 

of the Social Credit party in 

the Legislature are very outspoken, 

and are not afraid to 

let it be known that they do 

not agree with the government 

on many occasions. Naturally, 

there is caucus agreement on 

all major issues and broad 

basic policies. This is democracy 

at its l>est. 

BARELY RECOGNIZABLE NOW with the mountains of piled 

up snow and ice, Six-Mile Lake lies in quiet hibernation while 

awaiting the happy holiday crowds, now, only two months 

away. Visitors to the ice-bound resort already can find signs

By JAMES K. NESBITT 

Your M.L.A.'s are greatly 

excited as they contemplate 

the March 18-19 visit here 

of Queen Mother Elizabeth. 

The M.L.A.'s, who are the 

province's most important 

people, and 

their wives 

will line up In 

the flower-bedeckedlegislative 

chamber 

for presentation 

to Her Majesty. 

M.L.A,»s 

dearly love 

meeting royalties. It sets them 

apart from the masses; it's 

something to tell their grandchildren. 

Stiff and stuffy protocol has 

been at work for days, insuring 

there'll be no hitch during 

the royal visit, guarding 

against possibility of gatecrashers. 

All will be spitand-polish. 

Eormality and officialdom 

will surround Her 

Majesty. 

The Queen Mother has been 

to Vancouver in recent years, 

but not to Victoria since 1939 

when she and King George VI 

were here for 36 hours, two 

nights at Government House, 

longest stay in North America 

except for Ottawa and Washington, 

D.C. 

Not one of oar present-day 

M.L.A.'s was in the Legislature 

that long ago. Premier 

T.D. Pattullo did the legislative 

and government honors; 

the Lieut.-governor then was 

Hon. Eric W. Hamber. Andrew 

McGavin was mayor of Victoria 

and the controversial 

Dr. Lyle Telford mayor of 

Vancouver, and also an M.L.A. 

Premier Bennett has met 

the Queen Mother, and so has 

Opposition Leader Strachan, 

at a reception some years 

ago at the Vancouver residence 

of Hon. and Mrs. Erank 

Mackenzie Ross. 

British royalties have long 

had a soft spot in their hearts 

for the fair capital city of 

British Columbia. In the early 

1880's came the first Royal 

visitor to these parts - -Queen 

Victoria's daughter, the Princess 

Louise, with her husband, 

the Marquis of Lorne, Gover 

B.C. Capital 

nor-general of Canada. 

In 1890 the Duke of Connaught, 

Queen Victoria's son, 

came here on his way back to 

London after a visit to India 

and Japan; he came here again 

several times when he was 

1911-'16 governor-general of 

Canada, representing his nephew. 

King George V. 

In 1901 the Duke and Duchess 

of Cornwall and York 

were here. Later they were 

King George V and Q ueen 

Mary. Then Sir Henri Joly de 

Lotbiniere was lieut.-governor 

and millionare coal biaroh 

James Dunsmulr the premier. 

The Pince of Wales, now 

the Duke of Windsor, was first 

here in 1919, the world's 

Prince Charming^ and he came 

again in 1923 and 1927. All 

his brothers have been here. 

King George VI, the Dukes of 

Gloucester and Kent. Their 

sister, the Princess Royal 

visited several times, and last 

time she was here, in 1962, 

opened the Law Courts building 

atop historic Cathedral 

Hill, where once there was a 

beacon light to guide ships 

into port from sea. 

The Queen has been here 

twice, as Princess Elizabeth 

in 1951, and as Her Majesty 

in 1959 when she opened the 

present Government House. 

Princess Margaret was here 

in 1958, and Princess Alexandra 

of Kent has also called. 

Yet there are practically no 

mementoes of these royal visits; 

there should be oil portraits 

of all these royal visitors 

in a Hall of Royalty in 

Legislative Square.

electric iieating is expensive. 

These people don't (They have it.) 

LAWRENCE MORRISSEY, Victoria, B.C. 

"No maintenance at all. We haven't had to 

touch it since it was installed. There's been no 

odour, either. The atmosphere is always clean 

and fresh." 

DEREK PARKES, Westbank, B.C. 

"/ like the thermostat in every room. You can 

keep the temperature just where you want it. 

No heat is wasted. We really like it." 

MRS. G. BOUCHARD, Fort St. John, B.C. 

'"It's very even heat, with no cool spots, no 

drafts. I believe electricity is more reliable, too. 

When we leave the house, there's nothing to 

worry about." 

MR. & MRS. R. G. STEWART, Ladner, B.C. 

"What do we like best about electric heat? 

Cleanliness. Sure, it's quiet. Takes up less 

space, too. But most of all, it's the cleanest 

heat we've ever had." 

D.A. PRIOR, Prince George, B.C. . 

"/ like the low cost. We haven't spent a cent 

for repairs. And it doesn't need as much space, 

so it's ideal for a no-basement place like ours." 

F. W. STENNER, Gibsons, B.C. 

"Complete comfort all through the house. 

The exact heat we want in each room, because 

each one is controlled by its own separate 

thermostat." 

At today's low electric rates, over 7,000 B.C. families have learned that electric heating costs little more than ordinary 

automatic heating systems. But it offers plenty more: (1) Room-by-room temperature control means extra comfort, 

extra savings. (2) Sunshine-clean electric heat saves drudgery and expense. No dirt, no soot. (3) Equipment is practically 

•maintenance-free. Usually lasts longer, too. (4) Electric heat is easy to live with. Gentle, even heat. Very quiet heat. 

(5) Compact, too. Simplifies home construction, saves valuable floor space. (6) Resale value? As the trend to all- 

electric living gains ground, this is the heating system piore buyers will be looking for tomorrow. If you're 

about to build, remodel or extend your home, don't overlook the advantages of electric heating. Ask 

B.C. Hydro for a heating cost estimate, plus the informative booklet: ''Electric Heating Facts." It's free.

STRONG 

This Is Foolishness 

By LYMON E.JONES 

Pastor of 

Trinity Lutheran Church 

. This is foolishnessl The 

Bible says so. Make no mistake 

about it, the message of 

the Cross of Christ, the Lenten 

message, is foolishness to 

the vast majority of men. In 

this scientifically minded age, 

when most everything must 

pass a test tube analysis, or 

be approved by some wise- 

.man's dictum, the Message of 

the Cross, is regarded as 

foolishness. 

St. Paul writes in First 

Corinthians 1, 18, "The 

preaching of the cross is to 

.them that perish foolishness, 

jibut unto us which are saved 

it is the power of God." 

The Message of the Cross 

is not popular in our scientifically 

minded world, yet there 

have been and still are many 

men of learning and worldly 

widom, who accept the Christ 

of the Cross and His Message 

as their very own heart's delight. 

But those who accept 

the Cross of Christ as their 

own, do it not because it 

makes sense to their reason 

but because it makes sense 

to the yearnings of their heart. 

It is the one remedy that satisfies 

the hunger and the thirst 

of a sin-sick soul. It is the 

one ray of light leading out of

the darkness of this world. It 

is the one thing that silences 

the accusations of a guilty 

conscience, and it works. To 

those that have "tasted of the 

good word of God and the 

powers of the world to come" 

Heb. 6, 5, Christ and His 

Cross, His redemption and 

salvation is the answer to 

their needs, even though this 

may appear as rank foolishness 

to the rest of mankind. 

There is no surer way to 

find out for oneself, than to 

accept the Bible offer of Ps. 

34, 8; "Taste and see that the 

Lord is good: blessed is the 

man that trusteth in Him." 

Or to take the offer of Jesus 

Himself in John 7, 17, "If 

any man will do his wiU, he 

shall know of the doctrine, 

whether it be of God, or whether 

I speak of myself." And if 

you are curious about what the 

"WiU" of God is, that Jesus 

speaks of, He tells you just 

before in chapter six verse 

forty.

The story of Peter's healing 

of the lame man at the gate of

GIDEON BIBLES 

Jehovah's Witnesses Good Enough to Meet God 

Hunger is a strong word 

meaning an intense craving or 

desire for any object or thing, 

but thirst appears to be even 

' • stronger word. A man can 

live a month or more without 

food, but he can live only a few 

days without water. Water is 

' essential to human life, be-^ 

ctiuse many parts of the body 

are composed mostly of water. 

For example, blood is 92 

percent water, muscles are 75 

percent water, even 22 percent 

of our bones and 2 percent 

of teeth enamel is water. To 

maintain good physical health 

under normal conditions one 

should take In at least six to 

eight pints of water a day 

either through liquids or 

through foods. When one Is deprived 

of ian ample supply of 

water, there is a craving for 

liquids. We call this sensation 

thirst. 

As the natural man craves 

food and drink to satisfy his 

natural appetite, so the spirltv^l 

man thirsts for righteousness 

to quench the desires of 

ihe mind and the heart. The 

ileshly body depends for its 

^nourishment upon food from 

tthi earth, but the spiritual 

/man seeks food and drink from 

hêaven. Fully appreciating

MECHANICAL WORK Is to be the choice of 17.year-old 

Dale Needham when he finishes the program and school 

at the end of June. Here Dale gets to grips with a tricky 

motor problem during one of his half day's work at Meridian 

Motors. 

Occupation Program 

One aspect of present day 

educational tectmiques, which 

is brought into the limelight 

during Educational Week, is 

the current Occupational Program 

going on in Quesnel. 

The Program is a specially 

designed three-year course 

for boys and girls from elementary 

schools who are not 

able to follow a normal high' 

school program. 

The boys attend school at 

Quesnel Secondary School and 

the girls the Cariboo Junior 

High. The program starts at 

the 14-15 age level and coni 

tinues for three years prior 

to the student leaving school. 

For the first year of the 

course the student works for 

one half day a week in a local 

business or industry, increasing 

to two half days the second 

year, and three half days 

the third year. 

The object of the course 

is to fit the students into a 

normal business pattern, and 

to acclimatise them with trade 

and business practices to enable 

them better to make a

Quesnel To Get More Say On 

A plea for greater representation 

by Quesnel on the 

Board of Directors of the 

Cariboo Tourist Association 

was made by Mayor Alex Fraser 

last week, while attending 

a directoris meeting of the 

Association held in Quesnel. 

Mayor Fraser, who had been 

Invited to attend as a guest, 

said that he had a very keen 

interest in the Association. 

Tourist Association 

His worship added he considered 

this was an important 

link in the tourist industry, 

but pointed out that 

the approach in Quesnel had 

not been handled correctly up 

to the present time. He said 

he felt that Quesnel did not 

have the representation of the 

Board of Directors that a town 

of this size and importance 

should have. 

He suggested that a brief 

be presented to Town Council 

in order that Council may become 

cognisant with the function 

of the Association. 

President Jim Testamele, 

from Canim Lake assured 

Mayor Fraser that a brief 

would be prepared as requested 

and submitted to Council, 

and that the Association itself
