Mr. Diefenbaker is strongly Canadian and his proposal is undoubtedly the out- come of his belief that hydro power gen- erated in Canada should remain in Can- ada. His opposition to the sale of Colum- bia power probably stems from this feel- ing. His suggestion of a power grid for Canada is the outcome of the proposal to form a Pacific power grid embracing the Pacific states of. the United States and British Columbia. A power grid for Canada at the t is neither feasibl nor economic while the time is ripe for such a grid in the Pacific Northwest. Normally, the Canadian grid would be most efficient since the Prairies could With Apatogies The Glow-Worm Grow, little H-bomb, bigger, bigger, Into a great big grave-yard digger, Scatter your death-dust helter skelter Notwithstanding fallout shelter. You don’t care about mutations, Twisted genes of next generations, As long as we keep our voices low You'll grow, little H-bomb, grow. : —Margaret Obedkoff of the Prairies, this is uneconomic. The Pacific grid, running north and south, cannot take advantage of time dif- ferences and almost the entire load’ comes during the same period. Thus the grid cannot make use of the light periods of darkness but is merely to provide unin- terrupted power by distributing the sur- plus plants.. Geography has much to do with pop- lation growth. Industry, too, depends on climate and the growth of the Pacific Northwest states and British Columbia will continue so long as there is ample water for industry and a favorable climate. On the other hand, growth of the Prairie provinces, will depend largely on their industrial increases. The climate, lack of water—as compared with the Pacific Slope—and distance from mar- kets, are against it otherwise. 4 But if, at the t, a Canadi ‘VIGTORIAREPORT = —séi Professors Yell ‘Gimee’ By JAMES K.

That rarely happens in this province, grid is neither feasible nor economic it still may be a necessity in the future. In° the meantime British Columbia’s partici- pation in a Pacific grid would possibly be to this province’s advantage and would in no way prevent it from joining a Can- adian grid at a later date. ‘As it is now, British Columbia seems to have more in common with the Pacific states to the south of it than the rest of Canada. Not the least of their problems are water and power. —Nelson News | Are B.C.'s Foresters Agin’ Kissing? Are B.C.’s foresters lacking in Christ- mas spirit? Draw your own conclusions, but any- yone aiming to eliminate mistletoe. would seem to be following in the footsteps of Scrooge. Foresters with the support of loggers are mobilizing the resources of modern science in an effort to eradicate the little tree-bourne shrub’from B.C. forests. _ Does this spell an end to the yuletide custom of kissing under the mistletoe? What have foresters and loggers got — all of a sudden — against kissin’? As a service to mankind, Bill McGhee of a B.C. company’s: forestry and engin- eering department, decided to state the facts. 7 About the efforts to get rid of mistle- toe, Bill explained that the mistletoe which foresters are against is a parasite that grows on some B.C. trees: It is a dif- ferent variety than the Christmas mist- letoe. . The B.C. mistletoe sends its root branches into the feeding system of the trees, resulting in deformities which often ‘ruin the trees for commercial use. So that’s the story. We'll see you un- der the mistldtoe in December! Strike Over Indelicate Topic: Toilet Time According to Time magazine, the strike which recently sent 257,000 work- ers walking out of GM plants was “over a topic so indelicate that neither side felt comfortable discussing it in public.” The issue: ‘{toilet time.” According to the article General Motors negotiators and United Auto Workers president, Walter Reuther, had Competition: For Tourists Competition for the tourist dollars has become terrific, warns the Quesnel Caribou (B.C.) Observer. “If we, as a pro- vince and a community, are to meet that competition we will simply have to add those little extras. If it is true, as suggest- ed, that there is an impression abroad that there are too many of us trying to get the last penny out of the tourist, without giving fair returns, it is indeed high time to take stock and do a bit of smartening up.” all but wrapped up a national agreement. Then, just as the nation was congratu- lating itself on anoher indusrial dispute ~ peacefully solved, the trouble erupted. Choosing - his words delicately, Reuther explained that all GM workers are en- titled 24 minutes off the assembly line each day “to take care of their personal needs.” But charged Reuther, GM was denying workers this inalienable right by refusing to put enough extra men on the assembly line to allow for the bathroom breaks. z And so it becomes a matter of his- tory that “toilet time” produced the most needless major strike in U.S. his- tory, sending 257,000 workers walkin out at 91 GM plants. : It is for reasons as silly as this that though tht of BO, cer- tainly has some fairy godfathers. ‘The public of Greater Victoria, has been generous to expanding Victoria College — nearly $3 million by public subscription, with the government putting in a matching sum, This is as it should be — a combined effort between govern- ment and citizens, ye Today's trend of “let-the-gov- t-do-it, let-th Qf were not alr careful, we'll all become corroded and consumed by this “gimme, gimme, gimme.” a ' Bank’s Letter Comments On Gur Resources {Canada’s traditional attitudes to the conservation of natural resour. ces require careful examination — and some polloy changes, the Odna- dian Imperial Hank of Commerce says in its current Commercial Let- ter. ath ‘The Letter says that the recent “Resources for Tomorrow Confer ence" in Montreal underlined the need to think of conservation, not tural resources, ‘The use and renewal of resour, ces can best be thought of as-an aspect of general economic policy.

Scores of saw- miil operators manage to keep thelr operations financially afloat by sel- ling wood waste in the form of chips to pulp producers.
