The solution for the pro- patterns of British Columbia’s university blem and danger seem to lie in the .esta- $9, 000 a Job. has become a, must. Dean Geoffrey An- drew’s warning of the probable ill-effects of too-great.a_ concentration: of students at Point Grey is the most urgent that _ been sounded. - The University of B.C. is already a _ Sizeable institution, with a student body increasing at the rate-of 1,000 to 2,000 a year. By 1965-66, at this rate of in- crease, it is likely to have 20,000 young people on the present campus. There are two good reasons why this phenomenal growth should be studied with’ some concern. As Dean Andrews — who is’ deputy to UBC’s president. — says, the province cannot flourish: if all. its cultural life is concentrated in the Lower Mainl: blishment. of several junior colleges, link- ‘ed initially. with UBC, but © eventually £ growing, to be autonomous degree-grant- ing bodies, As Dean Andrews- says, the project needs study by, the government and UBC's governors. The study should be initiated as. soon as possible because the difficulties are pyramiding. The: location - of such junior colleges is itself'a knotty queston. ‘The matter of finance is just as* important. It will not do, for instance,. to starve | UBO in order to build. colleges elsewhere. The institution at Point Grey will not cease to grow. As the elevation of Victoria College - to university status: has already The ration also penali pro- : mising young -people who live in rural areas or interior cities. The cost of edu- cating them at Point Grey is much more than for city youth. Even the system of bursaries inroduced in B.C. does not sup- | ply all ‘the answers. Actually these two reasons are in-. trated, the creation of junior col- leges in the Fraser Valley and at interior points will offer alternatives to:a_univer- . sity career at Point’ Grey. But it isn’t likely: to_-prevent the pioneer university from: retaining its place as the crown of 3B.C.’s educational system. —Vancouver Sun Complete Main Roads First Everybody wants roads. ‘And from every direction there is a clamour directed at the provincial . government for better td more_ hig! , and new bety existing highway . Even. if in our immediate area was the government oe Trans Provincial Highway, ‘for the com- pletion of this route, right across the province, will be a benefit to the whole province. And it is not that we want only the Richter Pass section. of Highway 3 completed, ithe Associated Boards are not ion — they look ‘at carry out the request: ions - an demands for roads,’ there -would be no money left for any other projects in the whole province, almost. We think the whole matter is getting ridiculous, petty” and’ unrealistic. If we carry on.in this manner:. the government will have no other alternative but to ignore -all requests — whether they: be legitimate and sound, or unre ble and ed. 1 Boards of Trade ‘are perhaps the worst offenders. And there is a very iron- ical twist to the whole: matter. Here in our region, the Okanagan Boundary As- sociated Boards of Trade meet every four the’ whole broad picture and are just: as interested in the sections at Christina Lake] and east as they are in the immediate area. The trouble, however, begins when| 8¢ these member Boards go home. At the| §% Associated level they seem to understand|& .that there is just so much money for roads| 8 and that first things must come first, thereby supporting general ' policy. . At| 8# home they start:on a different note. Many| have their local requests — and for roads| 8 which are definitely for local purposes. There is the Penticton to Carmi road which is’ a' pet for Penticton. Kelowna has ‘its|& Peachland’ to Princeton notion. And now| 3! Oliver has visions of a road from Oliver|% ths and: ‘f r ations to the. government. ‘On roads, ‘it has’ been stressed time and time again that the combined appeal of the member Boards of Trade should get away from local: de- mands. to benefit the individual commun- ities and concentrate on urging the govern ment to build the main roads first — highways that will primarily benefit this province and the entire region. Such 4 policy exists and has had the support of all member Boards — at the Association Jevel at least. The policy is to press for the Southern to C: All these roads would benefit} 2% the communities involved. But it would also take money that could bé used to}? better ad’ on first leting the main highways which are so vital and so|s lacking at the present time. — Within recent weeks the Minister’ of| 3 Highways, Hon. P, A. Gaglardi, has thrown| ¢ cold water on some of these projects. He] § has spoken against the Carmi and also| = Peachland dream. We whok-heartedly; agree with.the Minister when he says that = To spend $9, 000 of the taxpayers’ money to give one unemployed Canadian a’ four-month winter job would be called wasteful by even the most enthusia- stic supporter of the idea of government make-work projects to ease. seasonal unemployment. “But that * $9,0002is no: fi t of the i ion. It is the sum used by federal cabinet minister David J. Walket in an interview in Toronto to make the point’ thai public works for the sake of providing: unemploymen is ‘one of the most, expensive ways” of creating em- proyment, In the interview Mr. Walker used as an example Toronto’s Mack ilding, a recently-opened fed- eral building. Cost of the structure was $11 million and, Mr. Walker noted, if it had been a winter work project its construction would have provided 1,300 jobs lasting approximately | four months: Thus, he said, if it Had been a project undertaken: to create jobs, that..would mean $9,000 to provide one man with work for four months. With admirable political courage the minister of public works went on to say that the real solution to Canada’s employment problem lies with the individ- ual citizens. Of last year's gross national product of . Almost $36 billion, he. said, only 15 .per cent was created by government expenditure. It could be ar- gued that this was a hight enough Proportion, but there’can be no ar with the ter’s point that “employment originates with private enterprise - and that even the most extravagant spending on public works can -create relatively few jobs. ° — Campbell River Courier Church of Latter Day Saints : Sundays at 10 a.m. in the Twin Rivera Hall Grace Presbyterian Church - Worship Service: 11 a.m. Sunday Church School: 9.45 p.m, Bible Study: Wednesday at 7.30 p.m. Jr.Sr, High Young People’s Fridays at 7.30 p.m. Minister: Rev.
