$ There’ were days when scores of
_, destitute men called at thelr door for
' something to eat. Mrs, Bennett remem-
’? bers: “lt used to do my best to give them
soup and sandwiches, and then one da:
Cecil told me that | should tell the callers
3; that they would have to chop some wood
+. first of all. | thought that cruel because
they were hungry and weak, but he said he
had no intention of being crue! to them. He
said it would sort the sheep from the goats
to find out who were gunuinely looking for
. work and separate them from the
. freeloaders,"
“As soon as a man arrived at their
: door, Mrs. Bennett would show him the
woodpile, and as soon as he picked up the
axe she would immediately invite him for
something to eat.

“About one In four would circle the
weoodpile and not como back,” Mr. Bennett

:; claimed, “and in this way we helped needy
people, because nobody wants to turn
away anybody who genuinely needs help.
You can't tell what effect such an action
might have on that person's life later on."

—Ron Worley, The Wonderful World of

W.A.C. Bennett

| don't suppose any new premier was

ever so viciously and as personally hated

as Bennett... . He was lacked upon as an

interloper, a man who had sneaked into of-

fice by stealing a strange slocan from out

-,, of Alberta, a man who got in the back door

while the family was playing bridge in the
drawing room.

By sheer force of personality, by drive
and imagination and fast talk, Bennett has
largely overcome that hatred, turned it into
admiration for him though there are still
plenty of people who want to get rid of him
as premier. cates

‘Whether or. not you like him, you
must admit he has accomplished much. His
has been the bold approach. He has shown
vision and courage, and o haughty distain
for those who criticize him, and a terrific
ability to punch hard onthe hustings.:-And |
he has learned to take his defects, very
few so far, with a calm philosophy and a
better-luck-next-time outlook. °

—James K, Nesbitt, Vancouver Sun,
; Aug. 2, 1962

ee *
| always remember what the premier
* once said to me about speaking at
meetings on the hustings. "As leader of o
political party, | om.like an ice hockey
player who has the puck at his stick. I've
got to keep my eye on the goal where I in-
tend to score. It's impossible for a player in
. such a position to listen to all the instruc:
* tions being offered by the fans in the ston-
ds. | cm up there in front of a crowd, and
*, when the puck comes my way, I can’t stop
the gome and ask for advice, or write
> home to Mother. I've got to score.”

—Ron Worley
‘Herbert Capozzi, MLA, arrived ot the
legislature ready to give advice to all and
sundry. To the premier he said, “I under-
stand we play as a team and we are only as

strong as the weakest link.”
That's where you are wrong, Herb,”
came the reply. “A government is as strong
as its most brilliant mind. And it’s as strong

“northwestern and central B.C.

as its leader. Countries and parties
frequently go backwards after the loss of a

“= good leader. Links have nothing to do with

it.” —Ron Worley
.

\ believe we can state with confidence
that our second century of progress will
include: % ‘

1) A Province of British Columbia ex-
tending from the 49th parallel to the Arctic
Ocean.

2) A population of well over 50
milllon—two-and-a-half times the
Population of the whole of Canada today.

3) A labor force of more than 17
million persons. f ;

4) Three million people in
metropolitan Vancouver by the year 2,000
++. only 32 years from now.

) A northland whose newly-
developed riches will be the magnet to at-
tract millions of people into unsettled
areas.

6) A major manufacturing and in-
dustrial city at Prince George with a
population over three-quarters of a
million, r

7) The world's largest and most diver-
sitied forest industry.

8) A mining industry concentrated in
that an-
nually supplies, in terms of today's dollars,
well over $1 billion. :

9) Water in abundance for domestic,
industrial, recreational and . power
requirements. A surplus of water that will
be the envy of North America’s one billion
people.

10) The growth of manufacturing com-
plexes Including smelters, iron and steel

mills, p p

and other ind

“V1) A Pacific Great Eastern Railway
extended to the northern territories and
Alaska, and diversified into many other
forms of transportation. .

12) A vast export industry, with our
trade yrowing to: at least 25. ti

13) A-tourist‘industry. catering“
over 100 million visitors yearly. :

Beyond all reasonable doubt,
therefore, the next century will offer the
geod life to the fortunate British Colum-

ian. :

His hours of work will be reduced and
his leisure time increased.

His income will be higher—one of the
highest in the world,

He will work with advanced
U while ad d hnol
works for him.

His family will be better informed, bet-
ter educated and will lead a tonger,
healthier life. oar

In an age of technology these are at-
tainments we can reasonably expect.
During the century which lies ahead;
however, the most important attainment
will require not technology, but a constant,
deep and genuine effort of the heart to live
ot peace with our fellow man, and a proper
appreciation of the real moral and spiritual
values. Given this attainment those who
come after us will truly be able to say in the
yeor 2067 that these were our greatest
hundred years.

This is good planning?

We now have a clearer idea
of why the NASA lofted Skylab
into orbit over Canada and the
northern States, rather than
over Houston. It is important to
have a soft landing on Venus,
but what lands on Nicol can
make a crater visible from the
moon, No sweat.

(From columns in the Tor-

When the -Americans can
