. THAT AIRPARK AGAIN

EATHERS: are still flying at the Saanich Council all over

- “the Memorial Airpark. With stout. defender Reeve

Warren being ousted. from his chair and. the.Council rush-

‘ing the reading of the by-law, at least something has been
done, for. good or ill, progress has: been made.

“There really is nothing against the idea. of an airpark,
as such, only. the expre essed disagreement of those who live
in: the vicinity.

_ This very thing i is what Zoning is supposed to straighten
out, in this case, however, the zoning law is being changed,
“as is the temporary seat of the good Reeve.
~ Opponents to the measure have the right to be heard,
“and doubtless if the whole measure was put up to them in
.a.slightly different manner it would not be too strongly.
-opposed. .The. methods used and the public statements
.°, made by those who.sponsor the airpark idea at Gordon
_ Head speak loudest against the project.

For instance. last. week, speaking for the measure W. A

. Association, was reported to have said that he’ was: sur-

-prised a former flying man was opposed, his reasons. .were
*.that with the world situation so tense. we might need every
~~: trained flyer we can get. o
_-. This sort of balderdash gets no measure ‘anywhere.
For one thing a Memorial Airpark isn’t going to train fight-..
ers, at least. that is the last duty it should perform.» Train-
ing fighting flying men-is already down toa fine art as
“evidenced. inthe last: war, and the boys were not tr ained
on little airparks.

' We.would’ suggest that a few solid souls, sincerely in
‘favour. of the airpark speak out and tell the people of

“ject: will ‘be self-supporting. -A trained flying man will be
“in charge, .will =have concessions on. the field and: will
“endeavour to. make the airpark pay its way, maintain its
‘upkeep and pay. the salary of the.manager.

cel, say, from Vancouver Island

tion ‘in the distribution of costs .is
maintained for the large pack-
ages. Mr. Turnbull, however, is
leaving for London in.a few weeks
to discuss certain matters with

Great Britain and he tells me that
the possible ‘reduction: in. ‘the

A change which is being intro-
duced in the method of paying
Postmasters was also announced.
many © Postmasters
were paid on a revenue basis, The
method of paying. Postmasters ac-
cording to the postage sold was
unfair in many. cases. . For
instance, a Post Office may bea
distribution centre for rural mail,
or may distribute mail mainly to
uther Post Offices. . In the latter
case, the work is much heavier
and the revenue perhaps less.
Postmasters, in future, therefore,
will be put on a straight salary
basis. according to the importance
of: their office,. and their em-
ployees—-if it is considered they
need employees——will. alsu be paid
by the department. Furthermore,
scheme .has
recommended for these em-
ployees. |. The employee will con-.

tribute a certain amount as other. 7 0"

civil service: employees do. Those
within a certain age limit. “will
pay ‘what is necessary in order to:
entitle them to superannuation
under the Act so that they may
retire at the age of 65 years. At
present. this superannuation.
scheme will apply only to Post-
masters whose offices have a reve-
nue of at least $3,000. and,-in the
ease of such offices, the salary as
determined at the moment is to
be $1,920. This will affect some
1,885 offices in Canada. The

prize-winning answer to the whole
seven,

“The world owes. everybody a
living, ” so ran the statement, and
one of the neatest answers re-
ceived to this statement came
from Walter :Dale: of Montreal:

(1)—True, but to collect’ you*
must~ present your chit for .ser-

‘Good wasn’t:ite -He gave a def-
inite answer, it took only twelve
It. means that you and I
and the rest-of the people’ must
give something for what we get.

Another reply was:

(2)—-False, even birds’ and
beasts must work for a living.

This answer came from F. H.
Avery, Wetaskiwin, Alberta. * It
tou is quite convincing. If. the
birds and beasts can’s get away
with it how can men and women
get what they want without work-
ing for it?

Here’s another the
same statement:

(3)—-False, the world is every-
body and everybody is the world.
Rather. absurd,

It is absurd when you put it
that way, isn’t it? . If it were
true. that. the world owes every-
body a living it: would mean ‘that
all the people of the world: owe
