"It is long past the time for action to

longer can industries pouring millions of
gallons of filth into the waterways be al-

‘What's needed is hard and fast legis-

apparent across the country this is a fed-

matter. 5
In June 1965 Washington was dicker-
ing with ‘a 10 billion dollar canal system
from Prince Rupert to the Red River Val-
ley. This canai system was to be donated
to Canada for free just so the midwestern|
states would be able to import Canadian
water.

So if the Americans figure a fraction
of Canada’s pre-polluted waters are worth
all that then the entire water system in-
digenous to the country is worth more
than a million Hope Diamonds. And a mil-
lion Hope Diamonds lined up side by side
would stretch across the entire province
of B.C.

Castlegar is only one town which is
facing a water crisis, There are and will
be many more. B.C.’s rivers are its second
most valuable asset, and will continue to
be valuable when possibility of lumber
isn’t. ,

But the rivers won't be worth a polit-
icians promise unless we can use them.
And the Columbia River we can’t use.
