Slecan Valley Road in Top Condition

A representative of this
had occasion to drive to Nakusp last
Thursday, returning over the same road
on Friday.

Highway, No. 6, the main road that
leads to Nakusp via the Silvery Slecan
was well p
was widened i in places where it might. have

been 1 to expect that depart-
ment of highways crews would have “let
things go” for the winter months,

We have no hesitation in recommend-
ing a weekend or Sunday drive up the
Slocan to our readers. The winter sights
are beautiful and the roads should be no
deterrent at all.

Today's Youth Drinks Too Much
Something Must Be Done Quickly

Recently four Port Credit youths were
picked. up by the police. Two of them
were 19 years old, one was 18, and one
17. They had all been drinking in a car
owned .by the youngest. He was driving
at the time of their arrest, and was so
drunk he crawled into the police station
on his hands ‘and knees, yelling in such a
manner. that he had to be locked up. -

- The next day this boy told police that
he recalled being in an accident, : but he
couldn’t.remember how or where. He was
sentenced to seven days in jail for drunk
driving, his driver's license was suspend-
ed for six months and‘his new car was
impounded , for three. His companions
were fired “for drinking. .

Why? Why, that is, were these four
boys drinking? Why, ‘moreover, do 50
many: teenagers in North America drink
these days? And why do so many not only
drink, (a thing which is probably more
common. elsewhere than here), but get
blind: drunk :(a thing which is probably

‘more common here than anywhere else in
the world)?

“ This is not the first such case on
record; nor will it be the last. In Metro-
politan: Toronto alone, last year, 268 per-
sons: between ue ages of 16 and 19 were

arges. i drinking
56" were pares of. traffic offenses in-
‘sswolving drinking; the other 212 of being
common drunks.

. Again, why? What is it about North
American society that its young people
feel toy nou ‘drink, that they even
want to drink? Is it of

the latter, does this .then mean that

other, counter-balancing standards of ma-

turity, like dignity, sobriety, self-posses-

sion -and self-respect are unattractive to
ble? Or

Support Growing for Export of Power

The following editorial is reprinted
from The Fi ial Post. It indi
a new look is being taken by eastern

the stalled Columbia project. But surely
it is not beyond the abilities of the federal
negotiators to tie some form of Columbia
dev

papers ‘at the B.C. power sp

The .great fight betyeen .Ottawa and
Premier Bennett over power development
in B.C. cannot go on much longer without
major. permanent Toss to the Canadian
economy. .

The Americans must soon _have an

firm _underst: as to
where they will be getting their extra
power .about five years hence — the
time any construction would take for com-
pletion.

In view of the potentialities of ther-
mal and atomic power in the next 10 or
20 years, it seems doubtful wisdom in-
deed to do nothing about the Columbia
and to jet the project die—perhaps for-
ever—because of a political spat.

There is no denying that Premier
Bennett put Ottawa over a barrel with
his start of work on the Peace but upset-
ting as this may be to political egos, the
public interest is much more important.

To get the Columbia going, to har-
ness this vast producer of wealth and
economic stimulation, Ottawa now has
to rethink its no export policy on power.

Bennett, plainly, couldn’t care less
about Ottawa’s pain and humiliation over

which Ottawa urgently de-
sires, to a new policy on power exports.
There have been many vital changes
in the power picture since Ottawa adopt-
ed its no export rules over four decad

According to 2 company spokes-
man, the objective of the .“‘Thint-
Zine". contest is to promote inter-
est ‘among employees in one of the

able resource.

It is now the opinion of many expert
and respected people in the power field
that Canada should consider selling pow-
er to the U.S., if the developments in Can-
ada are economic, if markets can be found
at profitable prices, if ironclad agree-
ments about repatriation can be worked’
out, if Canadians get the cheaper power.

We do not say that the existing Co-
jumbia development plan should be push-
ed ahead whatever the price. Indeed, the
political battle likely in the forthcoming
session of the House may reveal that the
present treaty is not, from fhe Canadian
point of view as just a deal as our negotia-
tors should have fought. for.
