Put Williston
Of Hydraulic

In January of this year the Trail Times
made the editorial suggestion that Prem-
ier Bennett establish a department of hy-
draulic resources with a cabinet minister
in charge of it,

Noting that the suggestion had merit
after the superfuous digs. at the ‘govern-
ment’s financial policies were put aside,
this newspaper lauded the idea...

. We agreed with the Trail newspaper:
_ that. Lands and -Forests Minister . Williston

“is deeply involved in’ hydro develop t
... and is regarded as a visionary in the
.field of grid distribution and as.a minster
who is well on top of the power phase of
his portfolio,” but we didn’t agree. with
the newspaper's other suggestion that Mr.
. Williston head such a department if it were
established.

. Since that time we have revised our
thinking. The logging, lumbering, pulp and
paper industry is still this province’s most
important industry, but the department of
lands and forests is an established one

' and it could be put in the hands of some

other man comparatively. easily. Mr. Ben-
nett’s government is in the fortunate posi-

The Modem Paper Boy

is a Do-il-Yourself Man.

The idea of “do it yourself” has re-
ceived a lot of attention recently in ‘Can-
adian homes, cae ee

A little earlier this century another
catch phrase, “learning by doing,”. helped
sweep some outmoded, educational prac-
tices from’ the school. room.

This. concept of “doing” can be well
illustrated -by the Canadian newspaper
boy. ‘

The newspaper boy gets an education
from: his “doing.” _He learns to know
people, ‘he learns the ingredients. of. the
process of preparing and distributing a
product af vital importance to all citizens.

He fearns how to ‘do things, himself
— and for himself. He receives his formal
education.in the classroom — but in his
own spare time.as a newspaper boy he
is learning many basic elements of the
art of living. ‘ : ‘

What he learns as a newspaper boy
thas great application to” the probl he
meets in later life.

In a 35:nation comparison of the ef-
fects of inflation in’ the 1949 - 1959 period,
Canada ranks 10th. :
In the decade our annual compound.
rate of inflation was 2.4 per cent; that
is, in‘those years the buying power of
the Canadian dollar fell by. about one
quarter. Bolivia’s annual compound rate
was,an astounding 38.3 per cent. Té that
rate had applied in Canada the $75-a-
week worker of 1949 would have had.to
earn more than $300 a week in 1959 just
to stay even, since taxes climb ‘as income
rises. : :
Commenting on the comparison, the
Canadian Actuarial Bulletin notes that,
in any country, there seems to be a con-
nection between the degree of inflation

‘and degree of welfare. statism. “The re-.
lationship is not perfect, of coursé,” notes
the Bulletin. “West Germany has imple-
mented a fair degree of welfare statism
and has ‘suffered only a. modest degree of
inflation, so far. This was made possible
by a: tremendous increase in productivity
together with the good or ill fortune of
being unable to divert much of the produc-
tivity to military effort.” :

“Our own country is also an excep-
tion. We have implemented a fair degree
of welfare ‘statism without too great, a
degree of inflation, as rates of inflation go.
This was made possible, in part at least,

tion of having a number of capable men
on the government benches who could as-
sume with competence the responsibility
of running the lands and forests depart-
ment.

Only a man, however, with Mr. Wil-
liston’s great capacity for study,’ research,
and careful preparation could assume the
responsibility of bringing a new hydraulic
resources department into being. And Mr.
Williston is undoubtedly the man for the
job if such a department should be estab-
lished, as all-who -heard him speak on
Columbia river power, development in
Castlegar during the recent election cam-
paign must agree, :

There is already a precedent in Can-
ada for a hydraulic resources department.
In Ontario a Department of Energy was,
established last year. Minister. of Energy

in the Ontario cabinet is 40-year-old Ro- -

bert Macaulay, who, in addition, is gov-
ernment watchdog of the Hydro-Electric
Power Commission-of Ontario, as the. pub-
lic utility’s second vice-chairman. ee

Because of the rapidly increasing im-—
portance’ of energy to the economic life
of . British: Columbia, Premier Bennett

should institute a hydraulic resources de- —

partment, or a department. of . energy
which would also be responsible for the.
development of the primi ‘enengy re-
sources which are found Within this pro-
vince in \addition to’ hydraulic energy,
namely natural gas, coal and oil.

Respect for the Law and Youth

“Where. there is no ingrained respect for law
there is no‘order, no safety, no peace and no rever-.
ence. People obéy the laws and customs of a com-
munity, not bi there is a poli on the street
and a jailhouse. around. the corner, but ,because they
are ingrained with an early training in respect for right.

“The best way to train a child to respect the
rights of others is to respect his rights. Every child
has a right to enough of his parents time to’be looked
in the eye once in awhile, and have explained to him
what’ right is, and why it should be respected: Every

“Taking into account these qualifica-

of a natural economic law that when the
welfare state attempts to replace the con-

cept of charity (unpopularly known as the} .
