CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Feb. 16, 1961 _ CASTLEGAR NEWS bttel Ni VICTORIA REPORT Castlegar’s Importance The growing importance of the Cas- tlegar District to the economy of Canada and British Columbia has been vividly denionstrated in the past year and a halé by the visits of federal and provincial cabinet ministers to this area and by the visit of Lester. B. Pearson, leader of the Official Opposition in’ the House of Com- mons, to the Castlegar airport where he met: with local citizens. In the past year and a half Lands and Forests Minister Ray Williston ana Municipal Affairs Minister W. D. Black have visited the Celgar pulp mill while Mr. Williston returned during the recent . provincial election to speak on Columbia river power in the SHHS activity room. Highways Minister Gaglardi also took advantage of a trip into this area during the election to view the second Castlegar ferry and to visit the site of the new Financing the Columbia Is Proving Difficult The building of the High Arrow damn now appears to be a certainty, with some important reservations. : : Visits of Hon.

Earle Westwood, provincial cise, minister of recreation ‘and conservation, also visited Castlegar in the company of Rossland-Trail MLA Donald Brothers and was taken on a tour of possible park sites in this area by representatives of the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce. Hon. E, Davie. Fulton, federal minis- ter of justice and attorney-general of Canada, visited Castlegar only last week to explain the Columbia river treaty and the benefits to be ‘derived locally, provin- cially and nationally, from the High Ar- row dam. All these visits, then, serve as a vivid reminder of the importance which the Castlegar District is attaining in not only - = 3 this province, but in Canada. JAMES K, NESBITT ’ ‘ The two. G's have the loudest voices in the House — and when they get roaring at ench other it's a sight to behold, a sound of fury that is sometimes almost terrifying; there, have been times when we thought they might hop over their desks and pound and pummel each other in the middle of the floor, forcing the Sergeant-at-arms to separate them, Here are two potent, explosive visions will not force interest rates to such a-height that the practicality of the whole scheme will be in doubt.” B.C.’s Premier has often stated ‘that this province will proceed immediately Kinnaird Hopes To Install Six governments favor the building of the High Arrow dam, and that both govern- ments feel that the tremendous benefits from the dam outweigh any di resulting from its construction. * All that remains before ratification of the Columbia treaty can take place by Ottawa and the United States, saia Mr. Williston in: the Legislature last week, on the Cc bia if the federal government os "e will give assurances that the cost of Co- More Street Lights lumbia power will be 3.77 mills, as federal ~ hr spokesman—Mr. Fulton meluded—have ing min sie counts Leet. sport said it will cost. i ing on the street ight situation At Castlegar last week Mr. Fulton oy in wo So cite mala he said that “Various federal sp my- aed “in the village. self included, have 1 f that six new to the. estimated cost of power from the sera ver ls bo, ded re Columbia river delivered at load centres, moved used elsewhere. as being four mills _ He added that a weharge of $5 is for engineering to be carried far to support applications for water li Hearings must then be held in the areas affected before the licences are granted. Also, said Mr. Williston, the. detailed en- > gineering presently being carried out must provide assurances that construc- tion of the projects can be completed with- in the time limits set out in the treaty. One last ‘barrier that must be hurtled before construction can start, and it ap- pears ‘to’ be a formidable one, has been mentioned by both Mr. Williston and Mr. Fulton: It is the financing of the three treaty projects. At one time Mr. Fulton and his col- league, the Hon. Howard Green, indicated in Victoria that the federal government would make a grant of 50 per cent of the cost of the development. Later this was chaliged to an offer to loan half the mon- ies needed at the going interest.rate plus one-eighth of one per cent, with the fed- eral loan to be: paid back before’ B.C.’s share was recovered. Since then Ottawa has again revised its offer and now proposes to loan half the cost of the project on a 50-50 basis ‘ with the provincial government, with the’ loans of both governments “repayable out is being made by WEP&L for each given of 3.79 mills for the downstream Ung the new lights from the Kin- portion of the power and an average of Pd hall north a 3.97 mills for the average of downstream ime We me cuoreag waste Tehts and site power together.” used as they were the type now in 5 Now that such authorities as Mr. Wil- pierre sha Giles said he had liston and Mr. Fulton - have demonstrated heard the, new fluorescent type the worthliness of the treaty project, we lights were superior to mercury a vaper. t in this area want to see the at is better than go ahead.

However, all of us, it appears, are not change,” he sald. “There are only 1§ of those mercury vaper Ughts at Woodland Park.” Comm. G, 8, Rust agreed that fluorescent would be excellent along Swan Song Sung this government is riddled with moral dishonesty and moral cor- ruption. I feel sorry for the Min- ister of Highways. He ‘Is so blinded by his own falth in his own good- ness that he can't see the patron- age for the caterpillar tractors, Rut I am afraid he {s coming to the end of the rond he has pulldored for himself.” Gaglardl: “He (Gibson) brought forth a tirade of inuendoes and as- sertions and assumptions. . without Producing one fact, Nothing but a lot of statements that were brewed in the milnd of an ‘who “BE-VITAMIN:SAFE te TAKE Rexall, A Fro m the makers “Of Canada's Largest Selling Maltl-Vitamins CANADA'SLARGEST SELLING’ VITAMIN-MINERAL PRODUCT for children-upite 1 had been hurt personally and wan ted only to vindicate his own per- sonal pride.” At one point, while Gagloral spoke, Gibson got up and roared, and called .Gaglardi: .“That. ttle fellow over there,” Gaglardi replied he’s not ash- |amed of being physically small, and he's not afraid, either, of anyone, not even of a man as. phyalcally huge as-Gibson. And then, for good measure, Gaglardi called Gibson “that fog. and .nolse and racket from Howall." This was in: refer- ence to Mr.. Gibson's estate in the Hawailan Islands, The Premier lk- es to call Gibson “the pineapple king from Hawall,” and “a million- alre playboy.” The Gaglardi speech attracted Packed gallerles, and long queues of people wanting to get in. The House was tense as he. spoke, hanging tn his every: word, Not one-member left — highly unusual. Mr. Gaglardi was anything but boring. Soclal Credit members, led by .Premier . Bennett, frequently poundéd their desks, spurring Gag- Jardl on, thus showing thelr faith and trust in him, Mr, Gaglardi was a bit myster- fous. It was difficult, at times, to tell what he was driving at. He Bave several broad hints that he might be thinking of resigning his seat, and getting out-of public life once and for all, For instance, he sald this: “I repeat — the result of all this may bring a change in my .status and my future, but I will walk the street in any city, any town, any hamlet, with my head. high, in the knowledge that I-have done my best to keep my oath of office, and fulflll my obll- gations to the People of British Columbia.” ¥ Was Mr. Gaglardi singing his / Sesnomy Size ° 7. 98 One daily, tablet gives you9 vitamins, 12 minerals, | NATIONALLY, ADVERTISED At OUR Rexatl onus STORE rnin 3.98 9Vitemins wi inn B12 plus minerals know it's good ter tem AT OUR jwaull.
