Mayor Back From Capital With More Problems Than Solutions Was Stood Up By Dept. Of Municipal Affairs Mayor Carrie Jane Gray returned from Victoria over the week-end with almost as many problems at hand as she travelled to the capital city to solve. First, while attending a Union of B.C. Municipalities executive she was advised that the provincial government had surprised the city of Prince George in respect to its share of school coats. Next came her appearance before the Uorden Royal Commission investigating Canada's energy resources. She took this opportunity to give a full account of this city's natural gas situation and to shake a stick at the gas monopolies. Then Her Worship and city planner Desmond Parker had planned to meet heads of the Departnirni of Municipal Affairs to discuss street and growth problems here. They were advised that the department: officials were not available. She abruptly loft Victoria. "We had an appointment with the Department of Municipal Affairs but they were hot around," Mayor Gray said. "I am very disappointed lie-cause street plans and ' other business had to be brought before them. Streets were getting; out of control and it had to be done," she remarked. On the school cost troubles, she said municipalities in B.C. are handcuffed because it is now past the date when .any arbitration can be made. "The only problem is finding something to pay them with," Her Worship stated. "We can't do anything until Premier Bennett returns on May 5." The Premier is also minister of finance. . Union of U.C. Municipalities and tlio Fi.C. School Trustees Association both agree that the provincial government is not giving incorporated areas a fair deal on school costs. "It's the straw that has broken the back of the whole province," Mayor Gray stated. The government lias been flooded with protests since the revised school budgets were returned to boards of school trustee:? two weeks ago. 'Missing' Trapper At Home Trapper believed missing in the Parsnip River-area 130 miles north of Prince George last week was found by police over the weekend. Jack Gagnon, who was reported missing by a resident of Fin-lay Forks, was discovered in his home cabin Friday, by Koyal Canadian Mounted Police who flew into the area aboard the force's Beaver aircraft. Last week three officers attempted to negotiate the Parsnip in a riverboat in the hunt for the man but heavy ice packs on the stream prevented them from reaching their destination. His home cabin is located about 25 miles south of Firilay Forks. Police said be was in good condition and indicated ro them that he had never gone astray while trapping this, winter. Chorus Plays To 1000 - Plus Well over 1000 attended the evc-of-centennial - year performance by the Cariboo Chorus at the Senior High School, Saturday. They were rewarded by a performance that one keen student of music described as, "absolutely first rate, perfectly disciplined, yet in no way wooden or mechanical. The modulation, variety and expression put into the Rusian Church Chant Hospodi Pomilu was masterful." The program was broadcast last night and enjoyed by many thousands who were not able to attend the concert. The Cariboo Chorus has the distinction of being the only group selected from a small town to tour the province during centennial year. They go on tour from July t'>-12, appearing at North Karri-loops, Vernon, Ahbotsford, New-Westminster, Victoria, Nanaimo, North Vancouver and Penticton. Largely responsible for the chorus's growth reputation is its director, James L. Johnson, a teacher at the senior high school who in a few years has trained a group of local enthusiasts up to professional proficiency. On Saturday the leader of the chorus thanked the numerous organizations and individuals who had made donations for the purchase of risers an.d robes. His choice of program indicated an original and discriminating taste. The pieces ranged from a series of hymns by Bach, to Richard Rogers' "You'll Never Walk Alone." A notable feature of the program was a series of negro spirituals. Lt. Robert Beveridge of the USAF base, Baldy Hughes, was bass-soloist in the first of these � "Co Down Moses," while Peter Siemens led "Fare you Well."
