10 CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, May 11, 1972 SAM Will Remove ‘Beautiful B.C.’ Insult By Crushing Rusting Hulks of Old Cars One of the most obvi- ous Insults to the beauty of British Columbia is the rusting hulk of the abandon- ed automobile, Stripped of everything of value that can be carried away, and its in- nards scattered about, it sits there in durable and ugly contrast to its surroundings, far removed from the deal- er's show window and its once shiny self, People pass it by, wish- ing they could ignore it like they try to do in the ease of gum wrappers and ‘cigarette packages, and they say, “Somebody should do something.” Well, somebody. is do- ing something. Project SAM has come into the picture, SAM, an abbreviation for the key words describing its three objectives, Salvage old car bodles, Assemble at suitable sites, Manufacture smelter feed, came into be- ing last summer after a sur- vey indicated that as many as some 40,000 to 45,000 vehicles were being taken off the road each year and relegated to the junk yard. HELLO TO AN FRIEND. We've brought back the “twenties” with Ci ick The Hon, W. K. Kier: nan, minister of recreation and conservation and mini ter of travel industry, un- der whose jurisdiction Project SAM operates, in- dicated the philosophy be- hind the operation when he said: “This society cannot continue to accumulate hard garbage at the present rate, lest shortly we end up buried in the refuse of our affluence.” In August, 1971, the department acquired two automobile compactors. Ful- mobile, they can be moved about the province from area to area. Each compactor costs about $48,000 and forms the nucleus of a field unit consisting of two large rub- pber-tired, _fully-articulated forklift tractors for loading and unloading the compac- tor. In addition, each field unit has a rubber-tired highway tractor to move the compactor, a flat-deck trail- er to transport the forklifts to working sites, 3 %-ton truck as a general service vehicle and other auxiliary equipment, Cost of the Sur ort equipment for eacl Feld unit was about $86,- 000. Each field unit requir- es a crew of four men. — Supervisor of Project which worked in the Carl- boo for about two months, By the spring of 1072, up- plications for service were on hand from virtually all populated areas of the pro- vince, indicating a busy summer coming up ‘puilt to conform icipal requirements for pol- ludon control.

As a rule, a minimum of 50 vehicles at one location is a require- ment for service. ‘Two types of service are provided. One provides a compaction service only for cash fee of $5 each for the first 50 vehicles at any one location, and $3 for each additional vehicle at that location. In this case the government does not acquire ownership and -has no responsibility to dispense of the compacted vehicle. The second type of ser- vice provides for both com- paction’ and ‘removal, ‘with ownership of the vehicle go- i government. In the vehicle must ment hopes operational maintenance costs out of the fees for compacting or the proceeds from the sale of the com- pacted vehicles.” By the end of 1971, after less than five months of operation, Field Unit No. 1 id compacted more 3,200 derelict car bodies on Vancouver Island. About 1,- 200 vehicles were process- ed by Field Unit No. 2 e an adjusting half-yearly ent based on the aver- ion. “The adjusting payment will thus ensure e Reament to the current price for steel derived from the fluc- tuating supply and demand in that industry.” Mr. Kier- minister ted. the acto ehicles ha nan said.

I had wanted to ask him about those sub- ects ever since northerner on Marshall (PC-South Peace River) left Socred ranks and walked the floor. He had some comments on decentralization as well as a little piillsophical on the work ethic, in which he strongly believes. But first, the crown corporation quo- tes, which he assured, me with a “here is a Jucky break for you, young fell- ow” twinkle in his eye, had not been previously an- nounced. Bennett said the indust- had troduce the nec- He would like to see several cities of 100,000 po- ulation scattered through- out the province and even more ith about 20,000 each, And many of those cities will come into exist- ence through Peace power development and the British lumbia Railway extens- fons, he suggested. Bennett enumerated what he considered to be a number of advantages com- ing from the natural growth of viable small cities. One which I id not ever thought of in that sense was that such cities create a good market for farm products grown nearby. On the work ethic, Bennett's points included: @ Work is the best therapy — it provides in- dividual problem solving by getting a person away his frustrations. @ We can and should use all the inventions to help us do our work, but need the exercise of toil to rest our soul and mind. eo Everybody has some kind of hane , but people with difficult di- essary to set up the crown ate on whevher or not the assistance provided by the new body would include loans.
