River Development ‘Committee within the Castlegar and Dis- trict Chamber of Commerce. Aside from the fact that this is a _ tremendous. opportunity for the Chamber to once again re-establish itself in the high public esteem in which it once was between the Hydro Authority and the community at large. Established “with the objective of ensuring that the area derive the high- est possible benefits from the develop- ments which will take place in the event that the Columbia river treaty is carried out,” the committee also intends “to en- sure. that adverse effects to individuals and communities be minimized, and where adverse effect is unavoidable to ensure that full ion is negotiated.” held, it is a-committee..of the Chamk which can do much to clear up misunder- standings which are bound to arise with Columbia development, that can get in iand fight for the things which this area’ ‘deserves as a result of Columbia devel- opment, and which can act as a liaison Rise & Shine | A retired politician with farm back- jground, who has lived on a faym all his iLife, was philosophizing the other even- -ing.

Arrow dam site do not either over estimate, or. under estimate, the assistance they ‘can “expect from the committee in these mat- ters. The proposal of . the. committee’s chairman, J. C. Enevoldsen, to visit the actual reservoir areas is a good one be- cause. there is no better way to know the problems than to actually visit the sites where they may arise.

Understandably concerned -are petroleum producers, to whom deter- gents mean profits, because when the public becomes upset, the reaction is sometimes abrupt. _. Now the industry is happily pro- claiming that it has discovered . methods that will eliminate the suds floating on detergent-laden sewage. Characteristically this industry seems to feel that if the public cannot see the suds, it will forget the detergent contamination that is pres- ent in.ever increasing quantities! - It insults the public intelligence to infer that dissolving the froth on deter- gent-contaminated. waters in any ‘way. solves tha problem. Fish are still pois- oned, and’ waterfowl still drown. Friendly bacteria_ that once ‘reduced sewage to ‘harmless organics are. dead, and the day when drinking water sources will be con- taminated is not far in the future. Here, our League of Women Voters has inquired about the safety of our drinking water, and: the Planning Com- mission has expressed concern for too- dense building within the radius of each public well. Detergents go into almost all - of our resid gi Even- tually, these ast permeate the soil, and reach our underground sources of water. Whether or not suds ‘are ‘present is not relevant to the matter of contamin- . ation. When the:: detergent is ‘there, it contaminates, and: it is there.
