We now shall be’ going on to higher ber .of C Fred‘ Pressacco, who is a pipet opponent of the High Arrow dam, that the Cham- ber invite a representative of. the Peace River Power, bhabey ead Co... to Carte gar. to add the company’s Mapa for the noth 4 is in the fall — this time making sure he has a seconder for it — or per- haps the hydro committee of which Mr. , Pressacco is a member will take if upon themselves to invite a Peace representa- nm . tive into the area. n With such’ economic and political a suggestion that merits derable con- sideration. : Although, - Mr. Pressacco’s. move to invite the Peace people into this area failed because no seconder could be found for the motion, it certainly cannot be said that the Chamber is opposed to hearing both: sides of what is quite a controversial subject not only ‘in this area, but through- out B.C. ,Rather it was more ‘a case, ‘as Chamber president R. D. Minnion pointed out, of Mr. Pr ’s motion the meeting unprepared. bject x tt only of the Col- umbia, development only of the :Peace, development of both, rivers at the same time and the’ export.of surplus electrical power tothe U.S.,.bandied about in B.C. and.the Castlegar District, the people of “ this area should be’ given the opportunity of hearing all: aspects of this complex subject ‘and the Chamber of Cmmerce is in the enviable position of being able to extend an invitation that will be treated with respect and that will most probably be accepted. Vocational School Here? The education conimittee of the Trail Chamber of Commerce has forwarded to Victoria a well-prepared and well-reason- ed brief calling for the building in Trail of the $1 million’ vocational school re- cently ad for the K by Education Minister Leslie Peterson. As was pointed out by this fp last week, the original motion passed .by thie Associated Chambers of Commerce of Southeastern BC. calling for the es- t of a tional ‘school “some- where in. the Ke was sp by the Castlegar Chamber. Although the. Trail Chamber has now" registered Trail’s bid for the school, it is * still not teo late for ‘theCastlegar Cham- ber to.make a bid on behalf of the Castle- gar District: Sige In addition to some of the facts pre- sented on this page last week as to why this District should be given top consid- eration as the site for the school, it can be further ‘pointed out that there is ample and ‘choice land: available in this area for the building of the school at no cost to ‘the government. Surely some ‘of the land presently held by the Land Settle- ‘ment -Board would serve nicely as a “free” site for a vocational school. In addition to the admirable location .of Castlegar in relation to other major interior industrial centres and the avail- ability of suitable’ building sites, ‘there are the fine recreational attributes of the area and the availability from Celgar and Cominco of not only competent part- - time instructors, but also a first-class ad- . visory committee. The Castlegar District should not be’ written off as a possible site for the vo- cational school, but Victoria will not even consider us if. a civic group/ such as the local Chamber of Commerce doesn’t pre-. sent our case to the department of edu- cation as strongly as is possible. The West's Western Way Cold war has often been termed a struggle for men’s-minds. Certainly many peoples, emerging from conditions of po- verty and colonialism, are searching for ways to improve themselves and to shape a better future for the new countries to which they belong. © it would be. over simplification to say they are -trying to decide whether _ democratic free enterprise or statism is ‘the better route’ to achieve these goals. In‘the end they may come to this decis- jon, but it will be the result of attempts to settle some of the specifics that will decide the main‘issue. People of the new countries are dri- ven by a tremendous urge to raise their standards of livirig. ‘This. involves prob- lems of food supply and the acquisition of industrial capabilities. ‘If communist nations show a greater willingness to assist in these enterprises then we of the western world do they are bound to make friends for themselves in the process. Second factor.is the question of race relationships. Majority of the new coun- tries are populated by persons of black or brown: skins. If the western nations, by their treatment of colored people, fan old hatreds and deepen ‘old wounds they will have no one to blame;but themselves. . That a man’s freedom and personal dig- nity should ‘be qualified by. his color is not merely reactionary thinking, it is a misconception western people just can- not afford to harbor. . Third and ee most important specific is the desire of these new coun- tries for education. Their young - people want to learn, want access to the accum- ulated knowledge of men’s minds through ; the ages. They are to lean toward those who open-such doors to them. . In this emnneétion a recent United Nations study is most revealing. When a student from Africa or Asia is accepted -.for study in Russia he is, offered trans- portation, living expenses, and free ac- cess to community. educational institu- in order to concentrate our efforts in more specialized fields. For others of us, graduation 1s the beginning of the end..Our for- mal education 1s rapidly drawing to a close, In the future our tea- chers will be life and experience ra- ther than college professors. Nevertheless, ‘we all have one emotion in common 'that we wish to express and that is gratitude, to you, the’general interested pub- lls who have supported all our ef- forts'and projects, making this dis- trict a most pleasant one in which to live, And now we come to our par- ents. I’ve said much about other ‘phases of our education, but really our parents. deserve the greatest vote of » Whether we were successful or defeated, happy or de- spondent, we could alivays turn to our parents for a few king words of encouragement. To them our ‘most ‘heartfelt “thank-you.” There have been many gradu- ating classes before us, and there will be many eraueting ‘classes “ts LOCAL & LONG DISTANCE HAULING.
