We the people that live here and have fought so hard and got so little do not seem to have a voice in things so far, I am just one of many that has lived here for the past 20 years, I feel that the dam from the government's point of view would be a wonder- ful thing for the West.

W.ithold Name P.leasc, SS, No. 1, Castlegar, Feb. 1, 1960, sae Dear Sir: I should like to disagree strongly with your front-page editorial of Jan, 28, “Build High Arrow Dam." Since I have only recently made my home in Castlegar, I ean perhaps view this contentious issue more dispassionately than those people who have spent their ‘lives here, In my opinion your editorial confuses the mat- ter completely — a vital matter that affects not only this genera- tion, but our children and gener- atios to come; a matter of such importance to us all that it needs clarifying rather than being made more complicated. Every citizen of this District should be clear on what is at stake and should make sure his opinion is heard in Victoria and Ottawa. Maybe High Arrow is necessary and will bring more benefit to B.C. and Canada than the damage it will do to the Dis- trict, but I for one have yet to be convinced. of this, With a perfectly good alter- native in Murphy Creek dam the price asked’ for High Arrow, the complete destruction of the beau- ty of the Arrow Lakes, is too high, No one cieaetess with your preference for thousands of years to make and new. ones will not be “found” in our lifetime, All High Arrow will make is mud flats, High Arrow may give you flood control which is what the Americans want, but Murphy and | Mica will give the same control. Canada needs -power whereas in- flation will halve your down- stream benefits inside 10 years just when Canada needs more power for its growing economy. The Americans have already re- fused to store water for flood control in one of ee own re- creational areas, I_am given to understand that 13,000,000 acre feet is the maximum useful potential of the Columbia River. Mica stores 11, 000,000 and Murphy Creek 3,01 000, ‘Any additional storage that High: Arrow provides is both un- necessary and uneconomical, be- sides -laying waste to some of Canada’ 's finest scenery, At the Chamber of Com- merce mecting on Jan, 26 you said, and I quote from page 8 of last week's edition, “we should take a less definite stand against High Arrow until more informa- tion on is available to the Chamber.” Not enough informa- tion to oppose it, but enough ap- parently for you to support it. The whole subject of Colum. bia river development is extre: ely complicated, Even the engin- eers and other experts disagree over fundamental’ issues, We in the Arrow Lakes area are likely to have High Arrow forced on us with its colossal destruction of beautiful countryside, unless we make our views known in offic- fal circles, * Each of us is etitled to his opinion but before deciding we should be quite clear on what we are buying and what price we are being asked to pay.

"A total of 30 supervisors at- 7| tended these meetings, + Robert Stacey, co-ordinator of industrial relations for the company, opened the conferences by reading a letter from Celgar's president, T, N. Beaupre, In his letter Mr. Beaupre said that the injury prevention program of all Celgar's operations were constan- wy. being reviewed and appreciat- ed by top management and re- all ary operations would be below the average for the indus- try as a whole. A close’ study was made of “incidents,” right down to the merest first-aid cases, in the be- lef ihat prevention of incidents would 'reduce the number of ac- eidents. .

These figures are suspect. High Arrow is cheaper. to build because it is an earth-filled dam, so J’m told, But on the other hand an earth-filled dam can only be built provided the massive waters of the Col bia can be di du- Plan for the f the ring. . This would be Columbia river. But High Recow has nothing to do with the r- Luxor and-Copper Creek diver- sion plans; all your arguments comparing these two projects are quite beside the point. To sug- gest that we either build High Arrow or flood the East Kooten- ay is to be misleading. Everyone agrees on Mica and Libby and with your arguments for these dams, The disagreement over |. High Arrow does not affect these dams and the benefits they will bring. ‘To say‘that, “trom @ recrea- tional point of view the Arrow Lakes would be enhanced by flooding": is utter nonsense.
