Clive Stangoe, Editor The Reason It is a continual source of amazement to visitors that the town of Williams Lake should be so busy considering the lack of industries within its borders. If these same visitors were in town this week and took in the Fourteenth Annual Cattle Sale they would see the maiu answer to their question in the hundreds of white-faced Herefords that once a year are brought before the public as an example of the wealth that is represented by the cattle industry. There too they would see the industry’s management, the men with the wide-brimmed hats whose factories are the wide ranges of the Chileotin or the valley of the San Jose. It is a pleasure to once a year publicly extend a welcome to the men who represent this primary industry and to wish Established 1931 Monday's Esquimalt _ by-election, whith saw the surprise return of a CCF member to the provincial legisla ture, should case leaders of the co- alition_government to do a little sober tock taking.

The News does not question the sin- cerity of either the premier or Mr. Anscomb in their statements that the government appealed to the people as a coalition in 1949, and that it should carry out its term of office ag such Both leaders have shown a genuine willingness to abide- by that agree ment.

F We say “again,” because the short four-year history of the local Wolf Cub Pack and Scout Troop, has mainly been highlighted by an “on again, off again’ routine due to this same problem. er It shouln’t have to be said that without the facilities of this training, the community will suffer. The Boy Scout move- ment is not noted for the tangible results it produces, bui in producing qualities of good citizenship and clean living, it takes a back seat to no organization in the field it encompasses. Speak to the men who once were Wolf Cubs and Boy Scouts. Their numbers are legion, and we have never run across one who didn’t agree that Scouting had been of incalculable worth to them in their formative years. :: In Williams Lake these 40 boys need the services of four assistant Cubmasters and Scoutmasters. Other than that the boys have all that is needed. With money they made then:- selves, they,have purchased a good quantity of training equip- ment —- and they have an inexhaustible supply of the necessary energy. wrestlers will be featured at Williams The Scout adult committee ‘= calling a special] meeting Lake, October 16 and 17 in the wrest- in the office of F.
