Page 2, The Cassiar Asbestos Sheet, March, 1974. Editor, The Daily News: There seems to be a growing vendetta between Frank Calder and Mr. Curran as these two names have appeared of late in conjunction with each other in your newspaper. As I interpret it, Mr. Curran has become put-out over the conduct of Mr. Calder, who is the elected member for Atlin Riding. I recall reading in your paper that Mr. Curran became so annoyed over the firing of Mr. Calder from the B.C. Cabinet that he boldly announced that he would unofficially represent the people of Atlin regardless of who sat in Victoria. This in itself must have caused some embarrassment to take place in Victoria. Now it appears that Mr. Curran has brought about a case of Calder vs The New Democratic Party and if Peter Curran is in fact looking for a by-election in Atlin he couldn't have picked a better place to land Calder back into hot water than at the New Democratic Party Conven- tion... : I am trying to determine which one of the two sit- uations is the more serious breach of political protocol. The firing of Frank Calder from the Cabinet for "kicking the gong around" or the obvious and deliberate turning of his back on the Indians. Both persons concerned have become embroiled in an obvious clash of political personalities that appears to be just beginning to unfold. One thing is certain in the case of a somewhat un- ‘certain public opinion of the year-old Government - that Premier Barrett and the New Democratic Party will not be able to ignore what appears to be founded attacks on one of their untouchable members. _ I wouldn't even want to make a bet on what the final outcome will be other than to observe some dark . clouds looming over the atmosphere of a troubled politi- cal climate in Atlin Riding. E. Martin, Stewart, B.C. NN Barreths Psalm Barrett is my shepherd, I shall not want. He leadeth me to compulsory insurance, He restoreth my doubts in the N.D.P. Party. He guideth me to the path of unemployment for the party's sake, I do not fear evil for thou art against me. Thou taketh over my business for free; My expense runneth over my income. Surely poverty and hard living shall follow me And I shall live in a rented house forever. 5,000 years ago Moses said: pick up your shovel, » Mount your ass and I shall lead you to the Promised Land. = Park your camel, 5,000 years later, W.A.C. Bennett said: Lay down your shovel, Light up a camel, sit on your ass; this is the Promised Land. Today Barrett will tax your shovel, sell your camel, : Kick your ass and tell you there is no Promised Land Y am glad I am a British Columbian. I am glad I am free But I wish I were a doggie, And Barrett were a tree. : TIPE ES PROBST: TIE TEPER!

"Don't tell the constituents of Atlin about northern development or they may tell you in the ballot boxes," said Calder. ''And on their behalf I tell you in the next two years to put up or shut up." He said he thought the problems of the northern residents would be solved when the NDP government was elected, but after two years he finds himself still deal- ing with the same issues and asking the same questions he asked of the previous administration. _ Calder asked for an immediate survey of and planning for housing development. He also called for improved medical services terming present services an "absolute disgrace." — "I welcome the Stewart air-ambulance pilot project, but the services should include all of the B.C. northwest with bases at Stewart, Terrace, Prince Rupert, Dease Lake and Atlin," he said. The MLA asked the government to legislate equaliza- tion grants for students from remote areas to enable them to attend secondary and post-secondary schools. He called for more northern highway construction, in- cluding a bridge building program on the Stewart-Watson Lake Highway and on the Telegraph Creek, Dease Lake, Stewart-Kitwanga, Stewart Terrace, and Atlin highways. He said his constituency requires recreational and conservation development, including park building and GENE STOROSCHUK IS REPRESENTATIVE FOR: 3 ELECGROLUX : VACUUM CLEANERS | 4 DF, C9 go 7: RUG & FLOOR RENOVATOR (NO. 1 ON CONSUMER'S REPORT) ¥ PHONE 778-7264 FOR DEMONSTRATION
