Gas, not

Terrace gas station operators have

ry accompanying the sale of gasoline,

They object ta the games and gizmos
promising wealth, plush automobiles, and
the free passport to never-never land,
they are forced to distribute at the gas-
oline pumps.

The operators are not solely concern-
ed with the welfare of their fellow citi-
zens, The gimmicks are partially paid
right out of their own pockets, which
slims a scanty profit margin even more.

In fairness, the gas companies pay
their share of the tab. But this must raise
the question of what share the motoring
public has in the cost of these corporate
fun and games.

gimmicks

Despite the excessive advertising an
television, one gasoline is pretty much
the same as another and gas stations are
‘not noticeably different.

The costly video extravaganzas poss-
ibly induce a few brain-washed citizens
to fill at a different pump. But it Is
highly doubtful whether the general pub-
‘lic is influenced by this kind of guff.

The ineffectiveness of the advertis-
ing may have tempted the gos compan-
ies to try gimmicks. The natural result
is that ofter one started the practice of
handing out bits of cardboard with the
gasoline, the others had to clamber
aboard the band wagon.

it is time that the companies declar-
ed a saw-off on the gizmos and got down
to the business of marketing gasoline at

Rocks abounding

Highway 16 is again creating wrath
among motorists forced to endure its
loose rocks, potholes, and treacherous
meanderings in the direction of the
Skeena River.

The latest gentleman to send a quid-
ed missive to the Gaglardi tetterbox Is
a Prince Rupert citizen and former alder-
man H. J. Scholten.

Scholten may indeed have set some
sort of record. He collected four flat
tires in the 85 miles between Terrace
and Hazelton.

He cited rocks of six to eight inches
in diameter on new grade; and periods
of uncertainty as to whether he was act-
ually on the road at all,

Other motorists will object to the
loose rocks abounding, an abounding
which too often can smash headlights or
windscreens.
should Mr. Goglardi ever get around

to answering g. mail, he should have a
relatively easy time answering these iet-
ters, His department has already let can-
tracts out for major paving between Ter-
race and Hazelton, is presumably going
to provide black top all the way.

Possibly the very progress we all de-
sire is one reason for the inconveniences
which the Highways Minister so ubiquit-
ously regrets.

Contractors’ crews inevitably have ta
move rubble to meke a rood and, ac-
carding to some motorists, their meth-
ods of removing the rubble are at times
remiss,

But the major question that must re-
main unanswered is why the people of
the Pacific Northwest have tolerated this
meandering monstrosity of a rdad fer so
many years, and permitted themselves
virtually to be cut off from the progress
of this province by the indifference of
Victoria.
