A heavy shower shortly before

glitter from the parade, but it
too couldn't wash out the fact
that it was the best May 24
parade on record.
Judges were hard pressed
to pick the winning floats but

Old Arguments Back Again
Announcement last week that the government will build
both a highway and raid link between We.st Vancouver and
Squamisli has given rise to all the old arguments that have been
advanced in favor of a highway as against a railroad.
One of the first to see loopholes that might again block construction
of the PGE link was reeve Hugo Ray of West Vancouver,
who stoutly maintained tliat a road would be all that
is neces.sary.
And hard on the heels of Mr. Ray came J. Gordon Gibson,
Liberal MLA for Lillooet, who was the loudest opponent of ihe
propo.sed rail extension during the Spring Session in Victoria.
Mr. Gih.son urged that the road be built first and given a
two-year trial before any move was made to start a rail connection
between Squamish and West Vancouver. He contended
that at the end of such a ttial period the government would
find that a railroad would be superfluous.
These arguments have all been advanced before. Tliey have,
in fact, been advanced so many times before that they are definitely
shopworn, and so have lost much of their effectiveness.
Lmking Squamish to West Vancouver by rail will be the
biggest fillip yet given the industrial expansion of the Central
Interior. It will eliminate many of the present headaches in
handling heavy equipment bound north and will expedite the
movement of lumber, cattle and other shipments south.
Truck service into Squamish may be the answer for movement
of produce from the Pemberton Valley, and it will certainly
open up Garibaldi Park to residents of the Lower Mainland.
But what of the vast reaches stretching north of Pemberton.
And what of tlae ultunate traffic from the Pence Rivor
when the railway is extended from Print'o George?
People of the Centi-al Interior will give little ."Jupport to the
proposals of either Mr. Ray or Mr, Gilv^on, who .still .seom.s tt)
be lacking in any ver\' broad geoj^vaphioid ktvowledgi? of tho
province in which tlioy live.
A Boost For The Areno
No stronger argument in favor of the spe«die&s p-o^sible
completion of the arena could have been sdvanoed than that
so graphically uncorked by the weatherman Monday, when an
estimated 1,500 adults and children were forced to scurrj' for
shelter just when the afternoon program .sponsored by the Elks
was nicely begun.
Had the arena been roofed in there v/ould have been little
dislocation of plans. The entire afternoon program, with the
exception of a few events, might have been run off there.
The rink space is sufficiently large to allow for most of the
flat races for the youngsters, and the concession for ice cream
and soft drinks could have operated full swing with no danger
of the young patrons receiving a drenching.
This summet the arena seems to have become a forgotten
issue. It stands somewhat forlorn and neglected. Yet with
concerted effort it could easily be finished to the point where
it would offer shelter for any major vent of the community.
Quesnel vitally needs that al-ena. It is a building that could
give service the year round and be of service to almost every
district organization. But if the move to get it completed is not
revived it will continbe to stand as a monument to apathy.
A project the size of the Quesnel Arena is too big fol- any
single organization. It is something that demands the united
effort of the entire community.
Cost of erecting the roof and completing the exterior walls
.should not be too gteat a hurdle for a community united in effort
— if it could be united in effort as solidly as it was united
in need la.st Monday when the unwelcome cloudburst struck
the town.
The cost could easily bo met through wholehearted support
of a drive for fvmds, and if such wholehearted ^support was accorded
a drive then thci'e might well be equally wholehearted
support in getting the job done.
Much of the hardest work on the atea has been completed.
Tlio yards upt)n yards of concrete needed for foundations have
been poiu'ed. Pillars to support the roof have been erected.
The tru.s.sos that will eventually support the seats are in place.
But the building needs a roof.
It's time now to see that tho roof goes on, and that there
will be no repetition of weather-ruined programs ^uch as occurred
last Monday,

SUMMER came too auickly for
the good of the Canadian
Amateur Hockey Association's
ca«h box.
Or, possibly, the CAHA and
its so-called amateur leagues
this year attempted too long a
marathon. Whatever the case,
eastern hockey fans obviously
ran. out of breath before the
finish.
The one-time big money maker
of the CAHA—the Memorial
Cup final—wilted under mid-
May heat. On May 16, more
than eight months after the op;
ening of the junior hockey season,
St. Catharines TeePees
made their 96th outing a 6-2
victory over Edmonton. Oil
Kings and tucked away the fiist
Memorial Cup ever to go to the
Niagara peninsula city.
TeePees went five games against
Edmonton in the best-ofseven
Canadian final, which once
drew upwards of 15,000 per
game to Maple Leaf Gardens in
Toronto i-fegardless of the participants.
But in the,se five games
-r^espite troops pf faithful St.
Githarines fans ^who' drove 80
rniles to Toronto—only 18,000
darkened the Gardens' gates.
Tbe CAHA, which held its
annual meeting at Vancouver
while the EWmontons and Tee­
Pees battled in Toronto, may
argue that St. Catharines' lopsided

PISHING was very spotty, over
the weekend with very few
good catches made except at
Six Mile which -paid off very
well. Quite a few good catches
were made there bwt the fish
were small. Nine mile produced
some nice fish but didn't hear
of any that were outstanding.
Doc Docherty took a very
nice 5'/^ pound rainbow out of
Quanstrom's Lake on a T spoon.
There were quite a few fish risiag
at the far end of the lake
but they wouldn't take anything.
A lew fish were taken at Mc-
Leeso Lake but on the whole it
was very poor on tlie 24th.
Bob Coleman and some of
the boys went to Quesnel Lake
to catch enough for (.lie proposed
Rod and Gun Club fish ivy,
but they were skunked.
Riiss Trites and party took a
tour of the lakes in the Tyee
district but they also were
skunke'd.
Ten Mile Lake is producing'
quite a few trout this year.
Let's hope that it is on the way

the not too distant future.
The only leal bright spot 1
heard about was the fellow who
called on a farmer on the Nazko
Road and dug a nice bunch of
worms, then was gone for two
hours and came back with a
very lovely limit of trou^ averaging
about 14 inches each.
After all this luck he wouldn't
tell the owner of the land where
he caught the fish. That is not
being a good sportsman, nor is
it a very good way to make
friends with the lads out in the
country. And by the way, if I
can find out that lake, or beaver
dam, I will let you a:il in on
the secret.
When you go'tishing why not
make it a practise to make a
friend of the farmer rather than
antagonize him. Ask permission
to cross his land and always
close his gates. After all he is
the owner of land you frequently
travel on.
The proposed Rod and Gun
Cub fish fry to be held on Friday
May 28 at the Elks Hall
has been cancelled as it is hard
to have a fish fry without any
fish.
Good luck to all fisherman
who lake a youngster along.

The attendance figure dipped

4-1 by the TeePees. and increased
only to 4,100 for a Saturday

The final game pulled in only
2,800—barely enough to pay

How detergent-action does a repair job
on your e u . . . s t a r t i n g with the first t a a h M
Your car's carburetor, the "heart" of the engine, mixes air with
gasoline to make the engine run. Until now it has had one annoying
"heart trouble" no mailer what car you drove or what gasoline you used.
Oust and dirt in air

Ring of deposits
chokes off air supply
While youF motor ran, a ring of
deposits built up in the opening
through which the air and gasoline
flowed. After a few thousand miles,
this ring gradually choked off the
air supply during idling. Your engine
began to die at stop lights and idled
roughly.
1 out of ? rv^pair jobs
caused by car'bwi/etor troubles
The only solution was to take your car t6 a repair shop and have the
carburetor fixed. That's why carburetor troubles are the greatest
single reason for engine repairs.

Then Standard scientists discovered the real cause: Exhaust vapors

To cure this, we perfected a new

cleans out the carburetor while you

Since last November, detergent-action Chevron Gasolines have been
in gas pumps in a number of Western cities. Through millions of test
miles, under the toughest driving conditions, they eliminated stalling
of warmed-up engines at stop signs, ended jerking and bucking in
traffic, gave cars new pep and power, chalked up money-saving gas
mileage (one taxi fleet reported savings up to $1200 monthly). Best
of all, you get the gas-saving, trouble-ending, performance-boosting
extra advantages of detergent-action without paying a penny more.

Quesnel and District. Last
week a smart stucco front was

Another building soon to

Building Record
In Making Again
ALL indications point to another
record building year
hi Quesnel and district, and
if the applications for permits
continue to roll in, there appears
little doubt but that last
year's total of $1 million will
be eclipsed.
Biggest single piece of construction
will be the new Baker
Memorial Hospital, which
in itself will run in excess of
half a million dollars.
One busine.ss block has already
been started on Reid
Street and work is due to
start on another within the
next week or two. At least one
other building is in the planning
stage. :
In West Quesnel the foundation
for an addition to
Floyd's Corner Store has been
completed and an addition to
Janzen's Hardware is under
way, which will, when complete,
double the present floor
space for the building.
Building Inspect. Ted Bond
states that there is a steady
demand for pelTnits for residential
construction in all
parts of the district, with the
heaviest demand coming from
the West Quesnel area which
was only, recently included in
the regulated area.

PLAN AS WELCOME
ANNOUNCEMENT hy the Governmojiit
thfit'a hifyhway to
Sfiuiimish would he huilt along
the Howe Sound route was welcome
news to the British Columhjn
Automobile A.ssociation,"
said Mr. Clarke Simpkins, chairman
of the BCAA Roads Committee."
''We have worked diligently
for many years for a highway
to Squamish and Garibaldi
Park. We have had frequent
meetings with the Minister of
Public Works a'nd we like to
feel we have played a small
part in making this highway a
reality."
"We congratulate the Premier
and the Minister of Public
Works for their positive stand,"
continued Mr. Simpkins. "It was
time a decision, one way or another,
was made. The BCAA
has never advocated any one
route. All we wanted was a road
to Squanush, and we are back of
the Government one hundred
percent for their choice of the
Howe Sound route."
"The Vancouver - Squamish
Highway will be one of the
most scenic roads in the Province.
It will open Garibaldi Park
as a recreational area for th.e
people of B.C. and to thousands
of tourists. This highway will
be another valuable asset in the
life of our Province."
