Moral Aspects

Arrow

Columbia development without High
Arrow is a possibility, we enumerate
aspects of this project which, in
our opinion, are contrary to the
moral code,

‘This committee contends that if
High Arrow is of true benefit to the
nation and to British Columbia,. it

should be able to stand judgement
simply on its own merits and with-
out resort to prejudice, distortion.

that all these have been employed
by proponents of this scheme, for
example:—

1.) ‘We were encouraged by the
ministry of Lands and, Forests, to
volce opposition at these hearings
and we have been led to believe
that these hearings constituted the

execution, Recognizing then ‘hat

LEGION CORNER

By CLUB REPORTER

Miss Susan Mitchell attended
the meeting of Oct. 3 and gave a
very enlightening talk on the Jun-
for Olympic Track and Field finals
during this year’s PNE at Vancou-
ver,

Miss Mitchell remarked that
much was to be gained by athletes
attending this kind of track meet
because of the’ sport clinics that
were held and also the type of
competition that had to be* con-
tended with,

She gave special thanks to Miss
Richardson of the high school ataff
and the local branch of the Royal
Canadian Legion for making it pos-
sible for her to attend.

‘Com, Lamb read five applica-
tions for club membership which
were approved and also presented
T. Davidson of Kinnaird for initia-
tion as an ordinary member,
‘There was some’ dissention re-
garding the motion passed on Sept,
19, which forbade patrons belng in
the club after 7 pm. unless pro-
Perly attired. The feeling was that
this motion could lead to some dis-
crimination and this. motion was
subsequently rescinded.

Com. Leckie reported on a KRC
Community Chest meeting he had
attended. He stated that this soc-
jety was in desperate need of more
contributors. Apparently there are
only 400-odd donations carrying the
burden for a District of approxi-
mately 1200 wage earners,

30 mph Restated
As Village Policy

Kinnaird council's policy on a
spted limit through Kinnaird is
that it be left at 30 mph “untu
such time as sidewalks are in-
stalled.”

Council reaffirmed its policy
‘Tuesday night after receiving a
letter from Castlegar council ask-
ing for Kinnaird’s views on ths
subject of an increased speed li-
mit through Castlegar, the Sher-
blko area and Kinnaird,

‘The Castlegar tetter noted that
the Castlegar council had been
asked for Its views on the. subject
by the department of highways
but that council felt it should
contact both Kinnaird and the
ROMP before it makes a decision

for such ob-
Jections to be heard. There was no
suggestion at that time that a
treaty would be signed before these
hearings could be held, However, at
the opening of these hearings, the
spokcsman of the B.C, Power Com.
mission: warned that any major al-
teration in the proposed treaty
would imperil the entire scheme, In
other words, the minister has sald
“No decisions will be made. until
public hearings have been heard”
and now the Chairman of the Com-
mission implies “you can't change
anything now — it's too late.” Such
statements coming in this sequence
are prejudicial to those wishing to
voice thelr opinions and constitute
unfair tactics. Moreover, these in-
consistencies lead us to beleve that
the authorities have broken faith
with the people in this regard and
we maintain that to break faith is
to breach the moral code,

2.) Benefits to be derived from
the High Arrow have been distor-
ted; virtually all flood control be-
nefits have Been attributed to the
High Arrow Dam on 4 first in basis
instead of to Mica which ts the
scheme’s main dam and which is
thereby made to look less economi-
eally sound. Recognizing that the
Mica Power Dam could not be used
to absolute maximum advantage if
it were at the same time providing
flood storage, we still maintain that
the public has not been made
aware of the benefits which would
acrue through the Mica Creek Dam
if it were developed for both power
nd storage. We maintain that a
Project that can. be made to, look
advantageous only at the expense of
its sister project in the system me-
rits suspicious re-appraisal,

3.) Also cited in favour of
High Arrow is the ‘vast payroll
which the construction projects
would provide. Everyone wishes ‘to
see full employment, but why try
to justify High Arrow on the basis
of the employment situation when
it could lead to a slump locally in
five years and. is contrary to the

spokesman present? The means do
not justify the end,

4.) The Mica Creek Dam;I re.
peat, Mica, has been described by
the Honourable E. Davy Fulton, as
the key ta Columbia development;
it has been described by the Hon-
ourable Ray Williston as ‘the hub
of Columbia development, The High
Arrow Dam fs now described by
Doctor Keenleyside as the heart of

that the terms key, hub and heart
are synonymous and acknowledging
there are only two alledged projects
on the Columbia under discussion,
namely Mica and High Arrow, it is
obvious that only one of the two
can be the heart or the key or the
hub. What ‘dre we to believe?

on the subject.
