Probe 12 Deaths In B.C. Blaze
WILLIIAMS LAKJE, B.C. (GP)- Investigators from Ehe provincial fire ma-rshal’s office inspected the ruins of a Roman Catholic ‘hospital-school Friday for a clue to the cause of a fire in which 12 sick Indian children perished.
Bodies of all the children, most of them babies, still have not been recovered from the ashes of the two-storey frame building on the Anahim Reserve 74 miles west of here.
The fire broke out Thursday night while all but one of the nine nuns of the Order of Christ the King were at. prayer in a convent 75 feet away.
Sister Mary of the Cross was with the children, supervising supper preparations. Ten min- utes after the outbreak, flames had destroyed the 80-foot - long building and the 12 children were dead.
Only one child was saved as the h-orrified missionary sisters watched helplessly.
S‘AW TANKS EXPLODE
William Christy, superintend- ent of Indian affairs for the Will- iams Lake area, said the fire could not have started from an explosion of «oxygen tanks in the basement. He said he saw the tanks blow up and he arrived some time after the outbreak.
-Christy said he received a phone call just before 6 p.m. from a man who had driven from the reserve six miles to Alexis Creek because the fire had burned out phone lines at the mission.
“I left immediately, with a doc- tor, nurses. We were there be- fore the police.
“The building was burned com- pletely. The ashes on t-he ground floor were four feet high. Chunks

walls were scattered."
Christy, telling his story under obvious strain, said Sister Mary St. Patrick told him she first saw smoke pouring from the root.
She ran a.cross- the yard from the convent toward the building. Flames came from the windows. The walls’ popped inwards. . SAVES ONE CHILD
Then Sister Mary of the Cross staggered from an end door in the building with five-year - old Wendy Char. Sister Mary was burned on the face and hands.
Wendy was the only child saved. She had been in hospital with facial lacerations suffered in an auto accident last Monday. Two brothers who were also injured—Marvin, 9, and Her- bert 1—-were among the 12 who died.
“Sister Mary of the Cross was taken to hospital in Williams Lake immediately,” said Christy. Late Friday she was reported resting comfortably.
The Anahim Reserve, one of the largest in Canada, is 200 miles northwest of Vancouver. Inhablted by members of the Anahim band of Chilcotin Indi- ans, it is in the heart of the vast cattle-ranching country of the province’s Chilcotin and Cariboo districts.
The Sacred Heard Nursing Home and School was operated for the Indians affairs depart- ment by the Roman Catholic Missionary Sisters of Christ. the King, with mother house in Mont- real. More than 90 children had left the mission’s day school only an hour before the fire broke out.
At Thur-sday’s meeting Of the Executive Council, the hauling rates paid to truckers were re- viewed and detailed comparisons made with rates prevailing in the neighboring Provinces ‘of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It has always been argued that a much bigger rate should be paid for the first mile to cover the time lost in waiting to be loaded. Last year the rates Wefre raised to help this situation, but it is now agreed that a further change is necessary.

In the Commission’s report dated February 28, 1958 and tab- led during the last session of the Legislature it was recom- mended that the government set up such an independent Corn- mission of f r o in three to five members representing the public, which would require the service proposed, the hospitals, which would provide the facilities, and the medical profession, which would provide the care, the Pre- mier observed.

“ On an average haul, however where the distance is say 12 to 13 miles, the rate is $6.55 com- pared with $6.05 in Nova Scotia and $6.371/2 in New Brunswick.
“On the long haul of 24 to 25 miles the rate is $11.95 com- pared with $10.35 in Nova Scotia and $9.971,é in New Brunswick.
“From these figures it is clear that the new rates will make the controversial short haul much more profitable, while maintaining our already favour- able nate: on the long run.”

address to the graduating class of Prince of Wales College yes- terday:
“There have been noticeable ' ‘ and practice generally in the past year. One of the most evident has been the response to the large increase in the school and college population. Three or four years ago the idea of everyone going as far as possible in school and college prevailed. It still pre- vails as far as those who have the will to work or the ability to learn is concerned; all these are welcome and every opportunity should be given them whether they have the means or not.
“Unfortunately there are many young people who will not take the opportunity offered, who will not work, who crowd the class- rooms, and who hold back the pace and standards for every- body. Lack of ability is the sec- ondary cause of the difficulty; many with modest ability do rea- sonably well because they work. The problem students are the lazy and indifferent of all stages of ability who have the mistaken idea that education is a social service to which they have a right, for which they need do lit- tle in return, and which must somehow be given to them ra- ther than earned by them.
WEEDING OUT
A year ago authorites every- where were noticing the harm done by this group and were ad- vocating streaming so as to di- vlde those who would work from those who would not. This year the change has gone a stage fur- ther an-d weeding out is every- where becoming more fashion- able again.
“With-in recent weeks, for in- stance, the Premier of Quebec and the Minister of Education of Ontario, as well as many school and college authorities, h ave placed themselves on record as about to take drastic measures. ‘ will never,” said Mr. Duples- sis about students, “be disposed to help those who won’t help themselves.”
“In these days of crowded class- rooms, teacher shortage, and lim- ited funds, and yet urgent need for competent graduates, there is not room for those who don't want an education but just go along for the ride. Moreover, those who won’t work are doing themselves as much harm as they are others whom they hold ba.ck.
“They pick up sloppy habits of carelessness and indifference; their abilities become rusty with disuse and misuse, and they leave school worse off than they would have been if they had tak- en th eir education in employ- ment.
INDIVIDUAL PROBLEM
“The answer to this problem lies chiefly with the individual student. If he wants an education h-e can now get it easily and cheaply. If he doesn’t it is impos- sible for anyone to give it to him.
“Another problem is the ‘in- creasing shortage of qualified teachers who are teaching. I re- peat the word “increasing” be-

25 Per Cent Increase
By Premier
vincial Department of Welfare is authorized to pay to incorporat- ed towns and the City of Char- lottetown 75 per cent of all a-
vinoial Department submitted by and contained in monthly state- ments presented by each town or the City.
Since this additional 25 per cent payment is retroactive to April 1, 1957, the Premier stat- ed that payments of better than s $3,600 will be made immediately to the City of Charlottetown, $1.- 700 to the Town of Summerside and other small amounts to the Towns of Borden and Alberton.
COMMITTEE SUGGESTED
_In order to eliminate certain misu>ndiers«tandiugs in cori-nection with the administration of direct relief between the municipali- ties and their agents, for ex- ample Welfare Bureaux operat- mg in Charlottetown and Sum- merside, the Executive Council further _asked the municipalities to appoint a Welfare Committee to consist of Councillors and Agency representatives to super- vise direct relief in the muni- cipality and cooperate with the Department of Welfare in a similar manner to that of the Welfare Committee of the Town of Summerside.
Premier Matheson explained that at present the Provincial Department of Welfare adminis- ters direct relief to all rural areas of the Province including inconporated villages. Until yes- terday, pending consideration and observation of arrangements which had been put into effect during the past year the Depart- ment had been reimbursing 50% of direct relief payments to municipalities.
The extra payment authorized at '.l‘,hursday’s_ meeting of the ‘Executive Council, "it is-hoped; will encourage Welfare Agencies, 32 particularly, to continue the good job they have been doing in distributing direct relief to needy citizens and will show in a tangible way that the Provin- cial Govornment appreciates their cooperation. ’ EXPRESSED SATISFACTION
The Premier expressed his per- sonal satisfaction with the way the various agencies and officials have co-operated during the past year with the Department of Wel- fare in an effort to improve the direct relief situation in their cen- tres, and reiterated that whilst the present Unemployment Assis- tance Agreement exists with Ot- tawa as arranged by the Hon.
y .
vincial Government has authoriz- ed the Department of Welfare to give every possible co-operation to incorporated towns, and the City of Charlottetown, reimburs- ing them on the basis of 75 per- cent of all approved amounts ex- pended for direct relief.
Concluding his comments on the matter of direct relief, Premier Matheson paid tribute to the val- uable presentations on the mat- ter made by officers of the Cath- I olic Family Centre and Protes- tant Family Centre, Mayor Yen and Councillors of Montague and a Committee of the Charlottetown Council under the_capable chair- manship of Councillor E. C. Baker. “These presentations,” said the Premier. “were very constructive and indicate that all concerned are dedicated. to do the best possible job for the needy of our Province."
mounts approved by the Pro- I
in science departments. Biolo- gists, chemists, and physicists are becoming increasingly scarce and these subjects of necessity are being taught at a steadily low- ering standard in institutions which can’t find qualified science teachers. And science, like mathe- matics, cannot be ta.ught by peo- ple who don‘t know the subject.
“There are warnings too that- the same process is under way in certain arts subjects. Classics teachers are now rare; this year's crop of history teachers is much smaller. Here the trend can be stopped. But in mathematics and science an emergency exists which will require drastic action everywhere.
“So long as the salaries and working conditions of teachers lag far behind those of others this problem will not only be solv- ed but will get worse.
