One has to admit that Mr. Bourassa blew his landslide mandate of two years ago. He grossly miscalculated the timing of the election and the people. His stewardship was not all that bad. He was able to attract large invest- ments in public works, and he fulfilled his promises of greater employment. But he became very unpopular. Mr. Levesque, the rene- gade Liberal, seems to have convinced the voters that he has some kind of magic. He has drawn support evidently from socialists, conservatives and N This Christmas...

He is com- mitted to putting the question of separation before the people within two years, No one should envy him his job. Why did not Mr, Levesque himself pursue the leadership of the Quebec Liberal party before Mr. Bourassa stepped in from the wings? Answer, Mr. Levesque was disenchanted with the Liberals... and this reminds us of an interesting parallel. Why did not W. A. C. Bennett, a staunch Conserva- tive in 1950 who approval would surely soon succeed to - the leadership, leave that pro- vincial party and start his own, with the borrowed label "Social Credit"? For one thing he did not like the restraints of Coali- tion, For another he was mightily ambitious, and he ac- curately guessed that the frag- mented coalition would inevita- Winlaw School Wins: Award from Fire Dept. ‘Winlaw Elementary School has lots of budding reporters. ‘Two students of grade six have submitted the following articles to the Castlegar News: oa 8 Is the School on Fire?

Mr. Bennett, given the necessary cooperation from the rank and file of the Conserva- tive party, would surely have done as well under that label except that he would not have attracted as many voters from dissident Liberals, Mr. Levesque had a some- what similar history. For years he was a liberal and a federal- ists, but Mr. Bourassa became the heir apparent to the Quebec Liberal party, and Mr. Levesque ‘had to look for another power base. He got it with ‘the Partie Quebecois, after an agonizing delay of two years. It is obvious from the. election, however, that his sup- port:came from a host of dis- satisfied liberals, conserva- tives, socialists and inde- pendents. It is predictable that his road to success will! be much harder than Mr. Bennett's, Mr. Levesque {is not young, and he is not robust. On the other hand, Mr. Bennett was not haunted by any specter of secession. The province of British Columbia in 1952 was entering a boom the like of which it had never be- fore experienced, Mr. Levesque today is faced with mounting unemployment in his province, and the need for assuring the money-lenders. Mr. Levesque will now have to show concrete results or he isa dead duck. He has still to convince the people of Quebec that he can deal with the economic problems, and he will meet with no largesse from Pierre Trudeau and the federal government, The threat of separation will not frighten Ottawa. Nor, I predict, will it really find support from the average Quebecois. Mr. Levesque will not, on this score, meet with encouragement from Washing- ton. There will be threats, gnashing of teeth, and large tears in Quebec, but separa- tion? No. Baseball Assoc.

In the year 1900, only 8% of Canadian housewlves bought bread; by 1950, 95 out of 100 fegularly purchased bread made in bakeries. jass production hasn't stilled the industry as many might think It would, In 1953, Canadian Bakers began a voluntary flour-enrichment program, adding 3 6 vitamins and tron which makes bread today one of the most nutritious foods avallable, Contrary to popular bellef, bread is also [ow in calories; In fact, it's considered to be an Integral part of any welght-loss diet.

On the international front, national and language barriers have crumbled, Alcoholics speak to each other with the language of the heart. In Japan, for instance, two schoolteachers were referred to the A.A. meeting held. by Americans in that’ country.

They listened to the Americans tell about their drinking and their recovery through A.A. They stayed sober, Eventually, some of the ” A.A. Nterature was translated into Japanese, and the school- teachers formed the nucleus of a Japanese-speaking group of Alcoholics Anonymous, There really is no “typical story" in the growth of Alco- holics Anonymous overseas, ~ Today, there are almost 28,000 A.A, groups throughout the world, Language barriers and national frontiers have not kept A.A. from being accepted in about 82 countries on five con- tinents.

The Big Book ("Alcoholics Says Natural Gas Will Hold Competitive Edge Sales and service manager of Inland Natural Gas'Co, Ltd., J. L. Randall, closed his speech to a group of heating and building recently drawn between natural! gas and other fuels which: according to Mr. Randall. demonstrates natural gas-is ‘the most with the following remarks: “We at Inland have been cautious in making statements ‘on supplies and pricing as we watched the energy picture un- fold, bul we have a story to tell, and we are going to tell it, We are going to tell it through any means possible. Meetings such as this, consumer advertising and television interviews.” Mr. Randall was speaking al a meeting sponsored by Inland which was held at the Hi Arrow here in Castlegar. His talk centered around natural gas supply, costs, energy con- servation and competative fuels. He pointed out that Inland is in an excellent position with regard to gas supply and sited the intensive increase in drill- ing activity in the north-eastern section of the Province which he stated, will make a lot more B.C. gas available in the future. He also pointed out that the Company's new Kootenay Link which now provided Inland with: Alberta’ natural gas: for peak saving, may place the Company in a position to take advantage of Frontier. or Artic gas when a ‘transmission system is built to deliver that gas to southern markets. . He went on to talk about the vast coal deposits in British Columbia, and quoted Dr. Andrew Thompson, past chair- . man of the B.C. Energy Com- mission as stating that, “the Province may well look towards gasification of. these coal de- posits rather than the genera- tion of thermal electricity.” Mr. Randall said that new methods for coal gasification had been developed in the United States which chemically reproduces synthetic natural gas, and went on tosay that the United States have now embarked on a number of very large gasifica- tion projects. ener, available, now and for a long, long time. He again quoted the past chairman of the ,B.C. . Energy Commission as stating, “Ifyou want to look at the least increment in, cost, then it's clearly natural gas. I don’t" think any other energy will touch it for a decade.” ‘He went on to say that natural gas has taken some in- creases in cost to promote exploration and there is no world he may be, whatever language he speaks—by serving as a forum for sharing the experience, strength, ‘and hope of delegates who now come together every two years from all corners of the world. The third World Service’ Meeting was held in London, England, in October 1974, with 83 delegates from around the world, The theme. ‘was “Sharing”, and workshops were held on internal and external communications and com- munications between countries.
