APATHY FOR THE AL-
BERNIS: The apathetic attitude
of the Federal Government in
re-establishing citizens who lost
their homes in the recent tidal
wave leaves much to be desired
and many still homeless. The Ind-
ian Reserve being the hardest
hit will undoubedly get the least
and last from the Great White
Father at Ottawa,

If that Puppet of the Pentagon
in our Federal Capital needs
assistance in any decision for
compensating the Albernis it is
only necessary to follow the
southern leader and recompense
the losses one hundred percent
as is being done in Alaska,

In the meantime with no Ind-

ian representing the Indians in
the Indian Affairs Department
it looks like they will get the
usual lack of representation, par-
ticularly in regard to compen-
sation for tidal wave damage.

GUILTY AS CHARGED, NAN-
AIMO: About a year ago a local
chap pleaded guilty when he was

charged by the police. There -

was little evidence presented to
bring about a conviction but he
had entered his plea and evidence

Set sales tax
petition blitz
for May 8-9

The Women Against High Prices
Committee reminds everyone
throughout B:C. that the dates
of “blitz” with the petition against
the 5 percent Sales Tax on essen-
tial and children’s clothing (out-
side shopping centres, etc.) is
set for May 8th and 9th.

The Committee this week ap-
pealed to supporters to do their
share by going out for signatures
and encouraging others to do the
same. —

was not necessary. The offence
concerned the posting of BAN
THE BOMB and NO NUCLEAR
ARMS FOR CANADA signs.

When asked the reason for his
guilty plea in view of the lack
of prosecution evidence, the man

merely answered by asking an- -

other question: ‘‘How can a man
plead NOT GUILTY to advocating
peace?’’ Good thinking!

In the Nanaimo area the ousted
Socred MLA still gets treated
as though he represented the vot-
ers in the Provincial Legisla-
ture. The C. of C., et al, and
other clubs. of the city refuse
to believe this man has as little
chance of being re-elected as
some of the people who pass
through the doors of his place
of business. He is a mortician.

LADYSMITH LOGIC: One fel-
low, a local logger, says if the
lumber companies force the wage
issue to an ultimate strike for,
say, a month, it will cost the
industry as a whole over thirty
million dollars of their profit
which is the same amount as the
payment of full forty cents wage
demand. Should hot weather and
a strike come about at the same
time the companies will bluff it
out for a while.

HEARD there are some organ-
izations making book, at aprofit,
supposedly for the devastated
areas of the Albernis. Be most
careful to what fund you donate.
The best contribution would be
a letter to your local Federal
MP demanding action for flood
compensation,
