The
Province
Should
Have
Gone
The
Province
our
big
contemporary
blares
forth
in
a
front
page
editorial
Bennett
Must
Go
It
is
the
opinion
of
this
newspaper
that
it
would
have
been
better
for
British
Columbia
if
The
Province
had
gone
elsewhere
before
it
entered
into
its
unholy
alliance
just
before
the
19G0
provincial
election
with
Bennett
McMahon
Gore
Bonner
Co
The
Citizen
before
that
election
pointed
out
that
Bennett
had
long
been
trying
to
fool
the
public
in
his
dictatorial
fashion
with
a
number
of
hoaxes
At
that
time
The
Province
and
Bennett
Co
were
very
cozy
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
Bennetts
lack
of
sincerity
and
dictatorial
instincts
were
obvious
to
anyone
The
Province
is
now
coming
forth
a
little
late
with
its
usual
follow
the
leader
policy
It
must
be
very
sure
of
Bennetts
downfall
to
take
such
a
courageous
course
We
disagree
with
the
statement
in
The
Province
editorial
that
Bennett
at
one
time
gave
British
Colum
Columbia
¬
bia
a
good
government
We
do
not
think
any
govern
government
¬
ment
can
be
good
that
tried
so
blatantly
to
fool
the
public
It
is
not
so
long
ago
that
it
has
escaped
human
memory
that
Bennett
and
Bonner
attempted
to
cover
up
for
former
lands
and
forests
minister
Robert
Sommcrs
Even
more
recently
there
were
the
Pacific
North
Northern
¬
ern
Railway
hoax
and
several
other
improbable
schemes
that
were
touted
by
Bennett
Co
as
being
in
the
interests
of
the
people
of
British
Columbia
And
there
have
been
such
empty
Social
Credit
promises
as
the
completion
of
Highway
16
from
Prince
George
to
Jasper
a
project
that
would
be
of
much
more
real
benefil
to
the
people
of
this
area
but
one
in
which
Bennett
Co
would
have
had
difficulty
in
paying
off
their
slush
fund
contributors
The
Province
should
have
taken
its
stand
then
By
suddenly
switching
sides
now
it
places
itself
alongside
such
turncoats
as
Hazen
Argue
and
the
leopard
which
tries
to
change
its
spots

Prime
Minister
Dicfcnbakcr
ended
a
day
long
barnstorming
tour
of
this
key
southwestern
Ontario
district
Thursday
night
with
a
ringing
declaration
that
the
gov

¬
ernment
will
call
an
election
soon
to
put
an
end
to
Liberal
party
obstruction
in

mons
He
steered
away
however
from
committing
himself
to
a
June
or
October
election
but
left
the
clear
indication
with
his
audience
that
he
has
the
for
S
incr
in
mind
at
the
moment
He
spoke
in
terms
of
in
a
few
weeks
in
the
near

and
in
the
weeks
to
come
The
government
he
told
an
estimated
1400
delegates
to
the
Middlesex
West
Progressive
Conservative
nominating
con
convention
¬
vention
has
been
stalemated
and
frustrated
in
the
Commons
by
persistent
opposition
debate
on
supplementary
votes
for
last
jcars
appropriations
The
op
opposition

position
had
spent
19
days
on
this
rehashing
of
old
spending
authority
this
session
No
one
was
injured
and
the
passengers
were
taken
ashore
by
small
boats
from
the
area
The
vessel
was
refloated
by
a
high
tide
The
only
apparent
damage
was
to
her
outer
hull
There
was
no
leakage
The
Chinook
was
bound
from
Horseshoe
Bay
near
Vancouver
to
Nanaimo
on

she
ran

said
there
was
no

when
the

were

The

manager
of

said
his
radio
opera
tion
still
is
subsidizing
his

station
CJ
DC
TV

needs
a

CJDC

a

Mr
MIchaud
pro
proposed
¬
posed
10000
watts
He
said
CJDCs
signal
strength
is
de
declining
¬
clining
rapidly
In
Fort
St

partly
due
to
industrial
interference
and
partly
be
because
¬
cause
of
the
interference
caused
there
by
TV
sets
which
can
receive
CJDC
TV
since
it
increased
power
recently
Mr

said
that
if
his
radio

is
unable
to
serve
the
Fort
St

market
or
if
Uiat
market
has
to
be
shared
with
a

there
it
will
have
a
crippl

effect
on

The

Mr
Michaud
He
said
he
needs
about
three
years
to
get
on
a
sound
footing
before
being
faced
with
additional
competition
Ono
of
the
main
questions
before
the
board
is
how
many
stations
can
earn
enough
ad
advertising
¬
vertising
revenue
in
tho
area
to
maintain
acceptable

to
