CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Oct. 4, 1962 CASTLEGAR NEWS “Here Tet the press the people’s rights maintain, unawed by influence and unbribed by gain” Established in Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Seven Dams Almost Certain: Boom Times Seen seller's market with accommodation at) ee Castlegar and District is now in for the boom times predicted better than two years ago when the Columbia river issue first began to be discussed by the man in the street instead of only by the “ex- perts” in both Ottawa and Victoria. After years of waiting it now appears certain that the Columbia treaty will be ratified and that the Canadian share of the downstream benefit power will be sold in' the United States where it will be pro- duced from water stored in Canada. Castlegar and District, which exper- ‘ienced premature expansion in ‘some seg- ments :of our economy, when it first ap- pédred’ that ‘the Columbia ‘was to go ahead, can now expect ‘further develop- ment to take place. In real estate it will probably be a a premium. Many local services will be|§ taxed to their limits and new businesses and services can be expected to locate here with available lots inthe business districts taking on new values. We've, had boom’ times before, how-|° ever, and have learned many lessons. Using the knowledge that has been gained from the . past, our municipal iis, the chamber of ce, Tes: idents, businessmen, workers, the: school ‘board; the’ ‘hospital, board, : and - other civic: and ‘ quasi-public bodies can be :ex- pected to be better prepared to. meet the challenges which now face all of us “as we enter a new period of crovtn and ex- pansion. Export of Power a Win for Common Sense The federal government's reversal of policy on the sale of power surplus to Canadian requirements to the U.S. on a long-term basis is a victory for common ° sense. It is an accomplishment, however, that was not an easy one for the govern- ment, no matter how strong the reasons - in its favor. One minister of the crown was de- moted within the cabinet because of the fight over the whole Columbia question and the government that is historically tied to Bay Street and St. James Street has, as a result of this new policy, drawn even further away from the financial in- terests under prairie radical John Dief- enbaker. The new federal policy means that development of both the Peace and Col- umbia rivers will go ahead here in B.C. and it means that this province will soon be in.a position to challenge the indust- Premier is a Man of tial and ial might of h Ontario and the Montreal area of Quebec. Sale of our surplus natural gas and oil set the precedent for sale of surplus electrical power, but while: eastern fin- ancial and industrial interests lobbied against it —- and while federal ministers were willing to listen — common sense was ata Now sense has won and we can expect to see gigan- tic power developments taking place not only in this province, but at Hamilton - Falls in Labrador, the Nelson river in Manitoba, and on several rivers in the Yukon, Because of the federal government’s statesmanlike change of mind, power developments will now take place in this country before scientific advancements and financing. and construction _ costs make them uneconomic and obsolete. Courage and Vision *. The federal: government’s ment. in the speech from.the throne last ‘Thursday that it hopes that arrangements will soon be made that will make it pos- sible to submit the Columbia treaty to Parliament for: ratification and the an- nouncement that it now favors long-term, large-scale exports of surplus power mean that we can at long last expect construe- tion to get underway on the river before too much more time elapses. The dramatic change in policy by the Diefenbaker. government is a major win for this province’s Premier Bennett. Standing almost alone at. many times and disregarding eroding. public support for gov as the in-the-street began to desire development ofthe Col- umbia on. any terms, Premier “Bennett The Flower Pot I have alittle Hower pot Sitting on: my window-sill, If nothing else can cheer me up, The. little. flower in it will!
