- Authorized as second class mail. Post Office Department, Ottawamrsday, October 5, 1 9 6 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Vol. 2 No. 2?^Mr. Colln Camcron, the Now

Democratic Party candidate forNanaimo and the Islands when thenext election i; held, spoke atMahon l-!a!l last Friday eveningoutlining some of the aims of thenew party. Mr. Cameron/ a form-er M.P. from this riding, was aleading member of the ProgramCommittee at the recent organizat-ional meeting of the new parly.

Mr, Cameron cdvocated neweconomic policies a? the cure formany of Canada's aches and pairs.

, His rncin prdn'!isc wo' the establish-ment of a vas';- progrcm to furnishcapital goods for the. new emergingCountries of Africa end Asia. Thisprogram, carried our similarlly tothe war production program of thelast v/^r, would assure full employ-ment and fu!! consumption of ourproducts.

He also advocated the abolitionof our vast Defence expenditures,stating that rhc pittance -hat weccntribL'i-e has absolutely no bear-ing on the amount of defence wewill get or the amount of defencethe Western World will receive."We do not play in the same Icagudas the U.SA.or Russia", he said."We should have no part of thisterrible, tragic cmpasse the U.S.A.and Russia now find themselves,"

It wcs Mr. Cameron'£ opinionthat Canada had much to contri-bute to peace and tha saving ofthe world and that we hava an un-us'Jal opportunity to serve in thedestruction of ignorance and pov-

Aerty in the world,,Mr. Camaroi stci''ed that now

concepts or government is desper-ately needed. It was unfortunatethat Mr. Cameron, after makingthese forthright statements, endedhis speech by lapsing back intosome of the old shop-worn Social-ist doctrines concerning the elim-ination, of the profit structure and/"'-i-)!•}• ' ' " ; i . _._..____.

FACTS/FABLES & FOIBLES.....There is a tabby cat, up BillEagles way, that has illusions ofgrandeur and thinks it is a cougar.He has seen it, on two occasions,stalking deer.

RE-WORKING THE SCHOOLBUS ROUTES

It was on Ociobcr 20th, lastyear, when DRIFTWOOD ran aneditorial on "School buses &School Bus Roads", Last January5th we reported the S ,S .1. Chamberof Commerce recommending to theHighways Dept. that priorityshould ec to improving the schoolbus routes. The Highways Dept.assured us, that this was theirprimary thought. In fact, we werelead to be! Save that most of theschool bus routes would be flushcoated or black-topped. '

It is another school year.Improvements to the school bus

routes are mighty hard to find. ThechiUrcn ere s:ill faced with i-hesame dangcrot's curves, i-hc samenarrow road;, the same unromovcdstumps and telephone poles on theroad's edge; practically the samehazard that existed last year.

Scott Rd. (no school bus route)received a little, much-neededblack-topping and quite a bit offlush coding; The road to the •Mouct Park was black-topped(no bus goes there) and SunsetDrive has been paved for twomiles. This wcs done because acitizen paid for the black-toppingWell, behold 1 One school busis now using two miles of black-topping! Yep, the bus going toSouthey Point is now using SunsetDrive. Now i suppose the High-way Dcp!-. rccc.-ds in Victoriawill show thc-i a school bus routeon S .S ,1. was paved for two mi lesand everybody will look good.

The Highways Dept. canshow you many reasons why thingsdon't get done, but never a rea-son why things ccn get done.

True, the Doptc has run asurvey on a new section of roadto eliminate the sharp curves onF.calcs Hill on the North End

VESUVIUS NEWS......Mrs. Frank L. Scott, former! resident of S.S .1. has arrived from Victor'id and'isspending a month at Hole! Vesuvius. She hopesthat ail her old friends will visit her.....-..'...«Following a two-week visit with her son & daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Lec, in Victoria, crp^also a few days visit with Mrs. M. Trafford in Vict-oria, Mrs. DA.Lowthcr returned last Sunday to herhome in Vesuvius... .....>.

We understand a petition has been circulated,expressing the desire of many people to have the '

j Fire Hall established somewhere else than on thefill in Ganges , Some would like to soe the un- -;

o^cupied land or the Village turned into a green,grassy plaza; others think the proposed sitb f6r'+he-fire hall would be dangerous for pedestrians andcars alike. . , ' ' ' ' ' ' ' . '

The problem is how to cat our cake and havc'ittoOt A park couldonly be established if a suitablealternative was available for i'hi..; Fire Hall. No onehas come up with a location as suitable or betterthan the fill (except the museum site which is un-likely, at the moment.)

If anything is to be done about this problem,it had better be done NOW, forthe building of a suitable fire hallcannot be delayed.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY.
