Since Dr. Mackenzie made his public appéarance ‘here we ‘have been trying to _ evalute the purpose of his visit without much success. . In his speech‘to the Kiwanis-Board of Trade luncheon, the president of the Un- iversity of British Columbia developed two themes. One was, pure and simple, an ab- breviated history of the. university, and the, other a sort of one-man debate on- the merits of junior colleges. To his listeners, the president’s re- marks on development of the university’s physical plant were in the main repeti- Power Export A clear look at the economics of ex- porting Fraser power instead of Fraser fish would show clearly, declares The Ag- assiz-Harrison Advance, the extent to which ‘we are letting our dollars flow into fe sea so that we can fish pennies out of it. tious. It is‘something like two years ago that UBC spokesmen covered the same field in drumming up interest in a drive for public funds for “our” university. The second line of thought left Us completely confused. On ‘the one hand, Dr. Mackenzie seemed to- favor junior colleges, where the cost could be justified, as a means of encouraging more young people to acquire the equivalent of one or two years univer- sity training. Then he said the di VIGTORIA REPORT Civil Servants & Wisdom By JAMES K.

This is quite possible in West’ Vancouver as records show that no more than three taxpayers in every 10 take the trouble to use their vote at municipal elections. For the rest— the great majority—their reaction to local politics ingly can be d up in two words: “Who Cares?” ‘ It is an extraordinary attitude to say the least, for in our community where we are all supposed: to know better, one would expect the majority to take an ac- itve part in politics. Local government, by. the nature of the services for which it is responsible, is closest to the people. These services, among them educa- tion, water, sewage disposal, police, fire, garbage collection, lighting, :parks, street -eonstruction and repairs are all indispens- able to modern life. They are largely paid for, of course, out of th structure, Whether as citizens we get value for our money depends, to no small extent, on the calibre of the men and women we elect. to Tepresent us at the municipal hall. and collectively.our re- presentatives will be nequired to make decisions affecting. the well-being of West Vancouver in which they and we live. and it may well be that these will: not always be popular. Be that as it may, they owe the electorate no more’ than :personal in- tegrity, diligence and good judgement.
