Monday a Great

With ceremonies beginning at 2.30 p.m.
next Monday afternoon, the official comple-
tion and dedication of the Arrow dam will
be marked with a ceremony attended by a
number of
and international guests, “including Premier
Bennett of British Columbia himself.

The ceremony will not only mark the
end of a very busy construction period in

cularly satisfying event.

How long ago it seems that Ottawa
said it wouldn't share in the costs of
these dams,

of those who were travelling about this
province — and this country — charging that
the simultaneous development of the Peace

and would bankrupt this province.
