equally enthusias enthusiastic ¬ tic A day spent in Barkerville is well worth the ICG mile round trip from Quesnel even though most of it is on a gravel road with some hair raising hills and curves In a few years this highway will be black topped but now is the time to travel through Robbers Roost and beside the Devils Canyon while one can visualize the old stage stagecoach ¬ coach rattling over the same route Near Cottonwood House which is the oldest road house on the Cariboo Road we had the amus amusing ¬ ing experience of being stopped while a flock of geese crossed the road to a pond One

of Barkerville as it was in its heyday sufficient has been done to provide an impres impression ¬ sion of life as it was a century ago There is a vast contrast between the genteel Bowron parlour with its Victorian fur furnishings ¬ nishings including a piano and Trapper Dans cabin Kellys general store is a fas fascinating ¬ cinating establishment and much time can be spent gazing at the various merchandise and groceries but the old Chinese store has such a peculiar odour that one does not linger As one lady remarked It smells a century old The Chinese gambling house has also been restored

VANCOUVER CP A Cali California ¬ fornia psychiatrist says parents who disagree sharply on what sort of future they want for their children can cause serious emotional difficulties Dr A Russel Lee told the Pacific Northwest Institute for Medical Social Workers that if one parent disapproved of a goal set by tho other parent it forces the child into a problem he cant solve Offering an example he men mentioned ¬ tioned the case of the mother who wants her daughter to be a social butterfly while tho fatJier vvantsi the child to bo an intel intellectual ¬ lectual and go to college Mother thinks it impossible to be socially graceful and crack the books while father thinks so cial me and serious study are incompatible against the other But best of all he says tho child can comment logically on the imp ossible situation and make both parents recognize it It all suggests he adds that the old individual approach to psychological problems is out outdated ¬ dated and that seeing and un understanding ¬ derstanding the whole family is ossential to a social worker finding a solution BC BRIEFS said a two hour search of tho waters near tho Lions Gate Bridge failed to produce any sign of
