The arrival this week of the first ship- ment of “Fernie” beer from the Interior Brew- eries’ new plant at Creston quietly marked the éomplete disappearance of an indusstry from Femie which had been identified with the community almost from the day of its found- ing. . A . With the closing of the plant goes the loss ofa steady payroll of at least $100,000 a yeor, But the effect is far greater than that. Every employee requires the production and services of another person, so it is easily seen that the complete disappearance of a sub- stantial group of workers starts a chain reac- tion that has a much more serious impact on the local economy than one would guess at a cosual glance. ‘ 3 The worst aspect of the situation is that nothing much can be done locally to re- pair the economic damage suffered here by the closing of the Etk River mine more than a year ago and the shutting down of the brew- ery this month. Any help we can hope for must come from outside sources. The situation here closely parallels . that of Springhill, Nova Scotia, where a mine Logic Suggests that Yukon Terrifories | Should Join B.C., T. D. Pattullo must be stirring in_his grave. When he was premier, back in the 30s, his great dream was the annexation by British Columbia of the Yukon Territory. Now, 20 years and four governments later, the same idea is back — and it looks a great deal less visionary. * * {n those two decades many things have changed — among them the general atti- tude of Canadians toward their northland, the pattern of communications into that land, and the status of Alaska. The North is no longer a vague, distant place whose inhabitants must be odd to choose to live there at all. It has reached the position the western prairies were in at the turn of the century — a sort of expansion chamber for the national effort. From the start, the Yukon has been the North’s most develeped territory and it now hos every right to expect, within a visible fu- ture, to be something other than a ward of Ottowa. ; {t has two choices: to become the eleven- th province, or to join British Columbia. Emotion suggests the former: logic the fatter. : * * Since Mr. Pattullo’s day, the Alaska Highway has tied British Columbia and the Yukon together, And its very course, zigzag- ging back and forth across the boundary for some 150 miles, shows how arbitrary that boundary is and how divorced from topography * The lie of the land, in fact, is perhaps the strongest argument for the merger of pro- vince and territory into one political unit. The biggest untapped water power potential in Western Canada — indeed, probably in the whole continent — straddles the boundary: the vast complex of lakes and rivers, mostly in the Yukon, whose mighty head of water could be backed up for use at Taku Inlet in British Columbia, hard up against the Alaska Panhandle.

A WEEKLY MESSAGE FROM THE CASTLEGAR ASSOCIATION ¢ By MISS J, PENNOYER MINISTERIAL - How often have we read the words. ‘‘The pause that refreshes” in the advertisements of a well-known brand of soft drink. Pictures ac- companying the advertisement always show someone who is weary after strenuous exercise being refreshed by just resting and enjoying a cool drink. : The psalmist David expressed very ably the desire of his own heart as he watched the little lark. Enemies were pursuing it and the lark was running hard to escape them. Its body was tired, it was thirsty and as it came toa little brook it stopped and re- freshed itself with a drink from the cool streom and was able to escape. David then said, “As the lark panted after the water broaks so panteth my soul after thee O God.” As Jesus ministered to the multitudes around Him, He and His disciples became weary and upon one occassion. Jesus said, “Come ye apart and rest awhile.” They were then strengthened to continue doing good, + The Christian life offers many joys, bless- ings and challenges along with many’ tempta- tions and discouragements. When the enemy «of our soul, as a roaring lion goes about seek- .ing whom he may devour, we need often to go apart and rest awhile in the presence of our Lord. ‘ : To wait before Him will bring strength to our heart! As we drink at the fountain ‘of living water we are refreshed and able to be victorious over our enemies and experience to the full the joy of the Lord. ; Sl PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT - -, “AND ELECTION OF TRUSTEES y Kinnaird.
