Chamberlist was prevented from doing to by two RCMP officers. Mr. Chamberlist, whose seat for Whitehorse East had been declared vacant Tuesday by the council speaker, knocked on the locked doors of the council chamber.

The council was in committee when Mr. Chamberlist entered through the spectators' entrance. On orders from Chairman George Shaw, the councillor for Dawson City, two RCMP officers barred the way to the chamber with (heir backs. Mr. Shaw said he was acting on the instructions of Speaker John Livcsey and - with the agreement of council. Mr. Chamberlist said he would be back today.

Listening to CKPG's account of the fall fair meeting one got the impression PG had a reporter there. But those who actually were present must still be wondering where the inaccurate info came from, because PG didn't have a reporter nearer than the Coliseum . . . One of tho little mysteries oi the late forest lire season has been solved. During August when the great Grove and Tsus fires reached national prominence, one unanswered question was why a certain group of Indian people smiled and even broke into laughter at the mention of one of these names. The answer came out during last week's forest rangers zone meeting. Seems the word Tsus has the same meaning as one of the more descriptive but unmentionable four-letter Anglo-Saxon terms . . . For participants in Friday night's March of Dimes ex- travaganza in the Coliseum who have declared since they now have retired from active competition, a word to the wise comes from Mrs. Flo Van Essan of Cranbrook Hill.

KIWANIS GOVERNOR SAYS: Service Clubs Can Best Handle Local Projects Want a community project done? Then get a service club to help. This counsel was given here Saturday by Ed Mallek of Vancouver-Victoria, governor of the largest district in Kiwanis, in an exclusive interview. Community projects, he said, require administration of tightly-knit organization with leadership, committees and enthusiastic workmen. "Problems of growing towns offer a challenge to Kiwanis-type service clubs,' Mr. Mallek said. Communities that are grow ing quickly have many problems such as juveniles, lack of sports and recreation facilities. "Service clubs are capable of doing the work in advance, thereby forestalling the problems," he said. "Juvenile delinquency may not be a problem in Prince George right now," he said, "but if the town booms, it might become one. It's best to meet the problem before it occurs. This is what Kiwanis is doing." Mr. Mallek had a word of advice for the newspapers, too. "Kiwanis believes that, general ly speaking, the only time the press lakes a picture of kids is when they're in trouble. We believe there's a better way. We believe in giving publicity to the worthwhile things kids do. Then other kids will have something to look up to instead of looking at the hoodlum." He suggested the local Kiwan is clubs and The Citizen get together to pick and publicize a "junior citizen of the month" for Prince George. "This could be a well-worthwhile project," he said. Mr. Mallek's district comprises B.C., the Yukon, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, the Idaho panhandle and northern California. It has a total of 280 Kiwanis Clubs. We're going to do Prince George a favor," he said, "By holding our 1963 convention in Alaska. This means hundreds of Kiwanis members and their wives will drive through Prince George from the south." What does the wife of a Kiwanis district governor think of his being away so much visiting various clubs? "My wife likes ED MALLEK . growing towns itrShe travels practically everywhere with me. She's not here today because she had an operation and is recuperating. But by the end of the year we'll have covered 80,000 miles." He was guest at a joint meeting of the Prince George and Nechako Kiwanis Clubs. One of his duties was to install five new members of the Nechako Kiwanis Club. ' They were Ron Hughes, Ron Dybhav-en, Al LeTendre, Kay Hallum and Warren Holley.

FAIR GROUP TOLD: 3 JUDGES Eichmann Verdict Slated Dec. 11 JERUSALEM (Reuters) � The Israeli court which heard charges against Adolf Eichmann of complicity in the mass murder of millions of European Jews will reconvene Dec. 11 to hand down its verdict, it was announced today. Eichmann, former S.S. lieutenant - colonel in charge of the Gestapo's Jewish department, was captured by Israeli agents in Argentina in 1960. He went on trial here last April 11 and the trial ended Aug. 14. He is liable to the death penalty. While the three Israeli judges have been considering their verdict, Eichmann has been racing against time in his heavily- guarded cell to complete a book he is writing. During his trial, the prosecution spelled out in detail the extermination of millions of Jews in Europe under the Nazis. Eichmann claimed that he was only a small cog in the extermination machine and that he was forced to carry out orders from above. During his eight-month interrogation, Eichmann asked to be allowed to write a "message of humanity," warning against a new Nazi - style leadership. It was not known, however, whether this is what he has been working on in his book.

Stop Back-Biting' or Falter Fall Fair members were warned Friday that unless they ;ct together and "stop this backbiting" (the Prince George Agricultural and Industrial Associa-ion will not get anywhere. This advice was given to the air's annual meeting by Col. -i. W. Johnson, executive assistant to the minister of agriculture, who has been in charge of fairs throughout B.C. for the ast 16 years. Col. Johnson said he was in- vited to attend the meeting to explain how the fair could attain Class B rating. But he added that before and since he arrived he had heard something of the true situation as it stands. "I have always looked forward to the day when Prince George would become a Class B fair," he said. "This is the logical place for it, and the North-Central area needs it. "But you won't got it unless you all get together and work toward it � not only the farmers but business and industry and professional people as well." To get B Class rating, Col Johnson said, you must pay out $3,000 prize money a year for three consecutive years in specified agricultural classes: draft horses, cattle, sheep, swine, field crops, fruit and vegetables. "Then," he said, "you may apply to the federal-provincial (Continued on Page 3) v REDS PROPOSE ALL-TEST BAN MOSCOW (AP) � The Soviet Union proposed today banning all nuclear tests in the air, underground and under the sou.

NOTHING NEW IN SPEECH; FULTON HERE TUESDAY Williston Predicts Peace with Ottawa on Power By PAT DENTON Citizen Staff Reporter Lands and Forests Minister Ray Williston said here on the weekend he is confident provincial government differences with Ottawa on the B.C. power question will be resolved within the next few weeks. He outlined his government's policies in respect to the proposed Columbia and Peace River power projects just four days before Federal Justice Minister Davie Fulton, federal ;overnment power spokesman, was to give his side of the story at a chamber of commerce dinner Tuesday. If Mr. Williston said anything new, it went undetected by his listeners. But, he was sure "we will get out of tliis tangle (Columbia versus Peace) in the next few weeks." And he reiterated his government's denials that it has deliberately blocked a start on the Columbia so it could get j underway wi'tli the Peace job. "I defy and challenge anybody to show where we have delayed the Columbia for 15 minutes," he told 80 people at a public meeting Friday. Mr. Williston had come to Prince George, he said, because "in all manner of probability you'll be told about the power picture in B.C. (in an obvious reference to Davie FhI-ton) so I lihought it only right you hoair the story from the person who has to accept the responsibility, whether he likes it or not. "I have never had lo change the story, .alter, back up or change my course in the last five years." Rising to the defence of Pro-micr Bennett, in his takeover of B.C. Electric, Mr! Williston drew applause by slating: "He is one of the most astute men I've ever had the pleasure to work with." Mr. Williston said no one has been able to seriously condemn the general power program of the provincial government, adding "it's good for this area, for the people of B.C., of Canada and it's good for the people of die U.S., too!" He ticked off what he con- sidered major factors: � B.C. is one of the largest sources of hydro-electric power in the world. � No one produces electrical cucrgy to compare with hydro energy but unless we get on with the job it won't be developed because new moans of producing power will be perfected. � Nowhere else ithan B.C. does hydro power come in such vast quantities. � Most potential power sites in ithe province are in remote areas and have ito be transmitted in vast quantities. � B.C. can look forward to constantly declining costs of producing electrical energy and as such is one of the few places in Uiis position in North America. And Mr. Williston was a little miffed that not everyone understands the government's position on power: "There's been so much trash and drivel you would wonder how any intelligent person could accept it. "We've always been in favor of a two-river policy. The reason for developing the Peace and Columbia is to develop B.C. as a whole. "The program of your government is to develop the northern two-thirds of the province by underwriting cheap energy." During his speech of 00 minutes, Mr. Williston failed lo dis-(Continued on Page 3)
