EARLY POSTCARD, bearing a King George V
stamp, Is among the collection of old items in the
possession of Walter Fields of Castlegar. Mr.
Fields says he ia not a stamp collector but a
collector of antique furniture and calls the

postcard a keepsake. It was given him by a

nelghbor years ago. The neighbor had originally
sent it to a girl he had successfull

ly court

Gave seratiny of the original postcard brings
details of the past including a sign on
the barn advertising Magic Baking Powder.

run-off (which cannot be pre-
dicted) will be unusually low
and the reservoir will not fill
beyond minimum levels. This is
what has happened in the
Columbia River Basin this
spring.

This year's shortage of
water is in dramatic contrast to.
the run-off period last year,
unpredictability of Columibia
River flows.

Last year, water held back
in Treaty reservoirs in Canada
and the U.S. controlled a
potential flood in the Columbia
River Basin as great as any in
this century and-dropped the
Columbia River's crest at Trail
by an estimated 10 feet.

Despite this year's un-
usually low run-off, the situa-
tion in Arrow reservoir could
have been improved had work
at the Mica project reached a
later stage. With generators
installed and in operation, much
more water could have been

released at Mica to help raise
the level of the Arrow
reservoir. At present, however,
the only way water can be
released past Mica Dam is
through the low level outlet
works built into the dam and
these are being used to
capacity.

Meanwhile, some water
must be ‘released from the
Arrow reservoir to meet
commitments under the Colum-
bia River Treaty: to maintain
downstream flow. B.C. Hydro is
reducing the amount of such
releases by exporting ther-
mally-generated power to utili-
ties in the U.S. Northwest.

In short, the low water in
Arrow reservoir is due to the
unpredictable and unlikely coin-
cidence of the lowest run-off in
nearly 30 years occurring the
same year Mica Dam begins to
store water. B.C. Hydro is
taking all steps possible to
alleviate the situation, but

beyond that we can only let
nature take its course.
The complaints about the

at present low levels will be

being considered.
