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.

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. —

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-

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.
