tby the Columbia river development com-:

: The committee’s chairman, J. C. Enevoldsen, is to'be particularly commend- ed for hig part in preparing the lengthy brief. It is a. submission that is quite pro-

out in detail the need for retention of the‘ bably predestined for success. ‘

Support WK College Money Bylaw

- Ratepayers throughout School Dis- trict No. 9 should have no hesitation about how they will cast their ballots when they vote on the West Kootenay Regional Col- lege money bylaw next Thursday,

A resounding “Yes” vote throughout this area. should be registered when the ballots are counted at 8 p.m. that night. se As this newspaper, has ‘Pointed - out ‘before, the regional college is an educa- ional bargain that we cannot aor to

turn down. We will be getting. a plant valued. at better than $2 million and it will cost the ratepayers of this area only $200,000 spread over 20 years while the operating costs which. this district will contribute towards will amount to only $20,000 for this’ area, annually, :

The need for such an institution of

higher learning has been well demonstrat- .

ed. Now it’s up to'us to help make it a reality by voting yes.

Junior Colleges are Gaining ‘Ground

Interest in the establishment of jun- ior colleges is growing. The subject has jcommanded wide interest in. the United iStates for some. time, and discussion is

‘now being followed: by acticn. Junior col-.

dleges are springing up all over the place ‘south of the border. Four are operating in ‘Alberta and a fifth one, in Medicine Hat, is to be opened next year. -

It follows naturally” that the junior

‘college picture in Calgary. should be en-°

‘gaging local school board: interest.

at universities have been growing. so rapidly in recent years. that ‘the institutions of higher learning are be- ‘ing hard-pressed to provide accommoda- tion. This pressure is likely to become iworse in the future. The role of the jun- ‘tor college in such a situation is to relieve ‘the pressure on the universities by hand- jing first- and second-year students.

Robson Road

: A> Robson’ resident was heard to ‘comment last week that the department of

ighways is. wasting money hauling gra- ‘vel to fill the potholes on the stretch of

‘road in “Robson: north: from ‘the ferry.-It -

was his contention that it would he cheap--

er. for the department to haul away the |

mounds and leave the holes!

Junior coe do not require the .

heavy investment in buildings and facili- ties which are needed for a, university. They enable high school graduates to take the junior university courses locally. More young people than now feel able to do so would thus find it possible to continue with their educations, especially in smaller centres lacking’ in universities.

Junior colleges fitting into this plan would have to be affiliated with the. high- er institutions and give appropriate cour- ses leading on to the final years at the degree-granting institutions. The pressure of : freshmen: recruitment and. freshmen weeding out is one which. strains univer- sity resources, and this pressure would be greatly relieved with. the junior col- leges handling a share of the load.

”'High ‘school education has become universal. in this country during the past half century. It may very well. be that junior college education -will become ‘al- most universally available to young peo-

ple at public cost during the remaining -

part of the Twentieth Century. Not all ‘the.young: people, of course, will wish’ to pursue post-high > school

studies. but,. centainly, many more. will: do-

so than has been, the case in the past,.if it is available to them through junior colleges. ‘The need for educated. people is:growing year. by year. It: costs a lot: of money but it yields” monetary. as-well-‘as social dividends in: vthe end. — Calgary Herald

And now he has his own special niche in our provincial political history, and, it must

They gaze at him” with starry eyes, convinced they’d all be out if it was not for. the political genius of their’ chief. This could be quite correct. ~ The new Maple Leaf flag went up and Mr, Bennett beat

the McBride record all on one:

and the'same day. How lucky can a man be? And, after the praise of him in the Legisla- ture, and all the congratula- tions from the province’s high- est law-makers, off he went with his wife to dine with the Queen's r at Gov-
