Victoria on the develop development ¬ ment of a super poi t at Roberts Bank calls lor a lull investigation of the operation of the National Harbours Board on the Pacilic coast Such an investigation was recom recommended ¬ mended this week by Kamloops Con Conservative ¬ servative MP Davie Fulton It is a suggestion that should find support in view of the massive Kaiser Steel Fernie coal contract with the Japanese steel industry Any delay caused by inter-governmental squabbling cannot be tolerated Mr Fulton refers to the past short shortcomings ¬ comings and misjudgments exhibited by the National Harbours Board relative to Pacific coast port development And he is right Certainly it is not so long ago that federal authorities proclaimed that a super port at Roberts Bank was pre premature ¬ mature a judgment that events have proved was shortsighted The need for another port whether Ottawa participates or not is necessi necessitated ¬ tated not only by the multi million coal WINTER A visitor fiom a warmer clime dropping Intoaprairio city Tor the first Urns during a January cold snap when wind chill drops the mer mercury ¬ cury to CO or 60 below zero is not likely to become an ardent booster of the Can Canadian ¬ adian prairies And if he is a visitor who is obliged to get be behind ¬ hind the wheel of a car and drive over the winter streets of most prairie cities or towns he may well re return ¬ turn to his warmer clime to bitterly circulate the slander that he has been sojourning in Lower Slob nvLi Wo oa the pi a trios hmi no Iondol over our weather We cvnnot

Indulging In a piece of fantasy which take the form of proclaim proclaiming ¬ ing vehemently sometimes profanely that this is ab absolutely ¬ solutely the last winter we spend on the prairies weie

waiting for the MMvtiittt nek to tui u up contract with Japan but also by the shortcomings of Vancouver harbour Burrard Inlet may provide one of the worlds finest natural port areas but the facilities there were designed and constructed for a shipping trade of an earlier age But its biggest drawback is the lack of space There simply isnt the space for such facilities as a lumber assembly area nor is there space to expand rail railway ¬ way facilities There is no question that a port at Roberts Bank will someday serve the entire west coast of the North Ameri American ¬ can continent BC has a greater stake in port de development ¬ velopment than most other provinces particularly with the vast Pacific rim trading area only now coming into focus Thats why Mr Fultons suggestion that there is a need for provincial rep representation ¬ resentation on the harbours board is a worthy one And an investigation of the NHB an imperative one Particularly now that BC has its own harbours board Its as well that one knows what the other is up to And Discontent Spring returns and warm warmer ¬ er breezes dissolve the snow and ice and the resolution to migrate toDCmeltswith them that is apart from the small minority which vacates the prairies each year for a variety of rea reasons ¬ sons and leaves the gap to be filled by innocents who have never experienced a prairie winter Science has examined the question of making cold climates warmer but as yet they have not found a practical solution Doubt loss they will find the answer one day Dut smely it is An oditorial roprintod from Trado and Commorco not bejond tho capabilities of science to come up with more effective menus of rid ridding ¬ ding city streets of snowand ice Snow removal in most of our prairie centres Is not a very satlsfactoiy op operation ¬ eration City adnilnlstia tlons are reluctant to spend adequate sums to properly cope with snowfall There Is a tendency to hold luck on costly snow clearing un until ¬ til a public outcry makes action expedient Snndlng of streets Isnpproiichedwllh tho same cost -conscious io liictauce I lie consequence of this Is Ihil much snow Is never lilted It forms into a hard bumpy icy surface chan channeled ¬ neled down to pavement by the wheels of cars on main thoroughfares where traffic is heavy Loose snow is shoved to the curb to ac accumulate ¬ cumulate in large ugly mounds which block visi visibility ¬ bility at traffic intersections and contribute to the sharp rise in accidents due to the treacherous conditions of winter streets Surely if science put its mind to it some more ef efficient ¬ ficient technique or com compound ¬ pound could be devised for orndlcntlng snow and ico quickly Tho latest space spaceship ¬ ship to land on the moon Is equipped with u scoop to dig tienches as deep us 111 Inches in the lunar soil Why cant this sumo inge ingenuity ¬ nuity address Itself to the problem of prutrlo winters Perhaps If chemistry can come up with n suitable com

been so warmly received in Prince George However I think you should know that there is no such group as the Burns Lake Intermediate Folk Choir The Lakes District Secondary School Choir won the Intermediate Folk Choir competition as well as the Senior High School Choir competition as a result of which they received the Assman trophy for inter interna ¬ na sdiate choral and the award for highest mark of Festival We would be grateful if you could mike the correc correction ¬ tion Choir directors Mrs Moira Vine and Mrs Nona McKinley Dear Sir The Hon Philip Gaglardi finally got fed up with the jackal pack that was always snarling at his heels and resigned Your paper has always been a leader of one of these packs Your editorials at attacking ¬ tacking the Hon Ray Willis ton as well

sit around gossiping and dig digging ¬ ging up dirt which in your case is sold later on as news While the Minister of Highways was busy at his job the dirt digging boys straelun and Ierrnult were busy

which are suitable to wheelchairs I would venture a guess that 999 per cent of such houses would have been constructed in this way strictly by acci accident ¬ dent I would like to direct a question to all architects and construction companies while planning a house or a commercial structure have you ever thought will this building be accessibleby the handicapped I believe that building the school the church the post office the theatre or the hotel in such a way that people in wheel chairs and on crutches as well as the elderly and infirm can enter and use the facilities is only part of good business The extra cost involved would be negligible and no one is pre prepared ¬ pared to contest the practi practicability ¬ cability I think a handicapped per persons ¬ sons biggest wish if it is not to become well is to be as independent as possible More and more research is being done all the time in rehabilitation techniques to make it possible for the handicapped to become inde independent

at no conclusion His Honor and the countys grunt-and-groan champion could settle a question once and for all The best two falls out of three could determine whe whether ¬ ther city or county won its

Student Vocational School mm Sharing The Profits Let management possibly acting through such or organisations ¬ ganisations as the Chamber of Commerce meet witli tho leaders of the unions with mutual respect to work for mutual advantage The right of employees to a reason reasonable ¬ able fixed wage must con continue ¬ tinue to be accepted Then the claim of investors for a reasonable return must
