MACBETH Castlegar Chamber Presents Brief fo Water Comptroller In January, 1960, the Castlegar and District Chamber of Commerce passed the following ‘resolution, quote “That the Castlegar and Dis- trict Chamber of Commerce is op- Poacd, at present, to any plan whi. ch includes the construction of the High Arrow Dam unless its value.to Southeastern British Columbla is proved.” Unquote. The Chamber re. @ffirmed this resolution approxi- mately one year later, namely Dec- ember 4, 1960, and this position still atands. In the intervening months much has been said-publicly about the engineering, economle and pol- itical aspects of the Columbia River jaydro power and flood control pro- Jecta, and there exists much diverse opinion among the so-called experta, even within each of the above men- tioned aspects, Taken as a whole, much confusion exists,-to say the. Teast, Proponents of the High Arrow Storage Dam claim for it tremen- dous and quick financial return. We submit that the returns quoted in support of this argument’ are if not fully and understood; they are made up Substantially by an arbitrary decl- sion to give credit to the High Ar- Tow Storage Dam for benefits whi- ch could just as well be credited to the Mica Dam, if we chose 40 to do. In either case, such benefits can only materialize if there is a buyer for all the power so created, and no one has indicated that a guar- anteed market exists for the use ment. It is well known that the va- lue of a@ tourist dollar is several times that ofa dollar from: indus- trial production, One facet of tour. ism is the rapid and enthusiastic growth in boating as a recreation, and it is conservatively estimated that several hundred must have enjoyed the privilege of boating on the Arrow Lakes this past summer; in one two-hour period 75 Ameri- can boats were counted, and in less than three:days boats from elght American states were noted, WIth sity, coupled with improved poad®, of this power upon its available, In addition, the experts ‘agree that ini 25 yeara or less, the role of hydro power versus thermal power will have reversed, with the result that headwater' river storage will have- become greatly. devalued, It-is not, enough” to ‘say: that. the’ project will have been, paid for in Jess than 25~years, when its con- struction means the virtual loss, for all time, of one of the Province's four major north-south valleys, so far as social devélopment is con- cerned, Far from contributing towards the development of this Province, in the long term, we firmly believe that the construction of the High Arrow Dam will do just the op- posite, The destiny of. the Arrow Lakes’ country and the Columbia Valley as a whole lles ultimately in the development of Its timber and tourist resources, and the High Ar- row Dam, operated as a vast stor- age project for the generation of Power in the United States, can be nothing but detrimental to the growth of both of these industries, There is no way to accurately as- sess the cost of this, but, there should be no contemplation of the exchange of these resources in per- petuity, for a ‘short term gain in foreign dollars, In our opinion, this is not the way to develop our coun. "ghe Castlegar and District Chamber of Commerce opposes the granting of a water licence to the British Columbia Power Commis- aion for the construction of the High Arrow Storage Dam for the following reasons: ; 1, It could bring only ruina- don to one of British Columbia's most beautiful valleys which’ has * tremendous possibilities, for future recreational and tourist develop- Golf Season Finals Held Last Sunday: Sunday, Oct,.1 was the official closing of the Club. competitions of the Castlegar and.

High Arrow Storage Dam will cause hi- gher costs which, in turn, will have to be met by subsidies that should be -assessed against this project. Celgar Limited alone, and there are many small independent operators, Presently employs 2,147 persons, earning an annual payroll exceed- ing six and one-half million; oper- ating costs, mostly spent locally, not including wood purchases, wa- Bes, taxes, etc, exceed aix million annually. Celgar Limited must not be put at a competitive disadvan- tage, and it is morally wrong and economically unsound to have to subsidize a new industry which can and should stand on ‘its own, if not hindered by an unnecessary ar. tificial barrier such as High ‘Arrow; such a subsidy would discourage normal growth, and at this point it should be noted that the timber re. sources are sufficient to allow a three-fold expansion, * 8. The destruction of some 40,000 acres of land cannot be ta- ken lightly; the future value to Bri. tish Columbla’s economy of the sg- ricultural production from much of this land in the light of the inevi- table population increase cannot be For more details-on this aspect, we endorse the brief which -Was presented at the Nakusp hear- ings by Mr, C.

Hughes. The seriousness of the situation was apparent when only eight ladies showed up at what was to have been the annugl elec- tion of officers, forcing the post- ponement of this election until a later date. ‘There are approximately 70 girls in the movement in Castlegar and allowing for more than one member of the same famly being a Gulde or Brownle this still leaves @ possible 50 or more mothets who could be contributing a small part of their time and effort to this worthwhile work, Leaders and LA members are all volunteers ahd it Js the same small minority, ‘some of whom do not even have daughters in the movement, who year after year faithfully support and carry on the work, because they do not wish to see the failure of the Guides and Brownles. in this town, However, even these dedicated citizens are getting a little discouraged and feel disinclined to carry on unless some new blood is added to’ the organi- zation, It was significant that out of the eight ladies present at the meeting, flve were past or present Guide leaders. Active’ Guide leaders have plenty to do looking after thelr companies and packs, attend- ing Guiders meetings and training Sesslone and should not be expected to run the LA as well.
