Gas, not

Terrace gas station operators have Jointly protested the continuing gimmick. 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.

a reasonable price.

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.
