school construction
costa, in the face of a rising
Bchool-age population and its need
for additional education facill-
ties, are a problem that concerns

us all,

The problem, however, {3 one
for which the forest industry

tion,

The matter of school construc~-
tion is of particular concern
the burgeoning northern
British Columbia communities

SUrBS,

For example, the Department.
of Education has reported that,
in contrast to a province-wide
enrolment growth of 5.2 per cent
between June, 1965, and Tune,
1966, and a metropolitan Van
couver rate of only 3 per cent,
Prince George Increased by 20
per cent, Vanderhoof by 17 per
cent, and Stikine by 13 per cent,

The assistance which can be
offered by the forest industry
Hes in a type of production in
which I have been urging the
industry, to expand,

This is the advanced manuface
ture of wood materials, most spe.
cifically the manufactura of such
construction materials as en.

From the churches:

No reason to
fear darkness

by Rev, Vernon Luckies

Christian Reformed Church
_ Darkness should notbe strange
to any of us, All our lives,
every 24 hours, we've exper
fenced something of it, Yet,
we are often afraid of the dark,
perhaps not fearing the dark as
much as what might meet us in
the darkness. Perhaps we’re
afraid because we cannot see,

Darkness, which often
descends upon the soul, does not
come at regular 24 hour inters
vals, Nor does italwaysdescend
slowly, Ali of a sudden it may
be upon us. and it seems we
are seldom prepared for it,

Then, the questions come: Why
did God let this happen to me?
Is God the least bit concerned
about me personally? Is there
even a personal God? Such
questions even plague Christians
on off moments, Is there any
answer?

God unéerstands thatthis might
easily happen, He has something
very important to say to us in
Tsaiah 50:10:

-;even the night shall be light

“Who is among youthatfears ©
the Lord, that obeys the
voice of His servant, that
walks in darkness, and has
no light? Let him trust in
the name of the Lord, and
stay upon His God!

At this moment you may be
in thick darkness. But that
darkness is not too thick for
God, The one who truly listens,
knows He is there, He has made
a way right through the darkness,
He has taken all the scare out
of the darkness. It happened.on
the crass:

“And it was about the sixth

hour, and there was a dark

ness over all the earth until
the ninth hour, while the
sun's light failed (Luke

29:44)”

In those three eternal hours of
darkness Hes the certalnty of
promise: “He who follows me.
shall have the light of life,’’
You can then know what the
psalmist knew: “If I say, ‘Surely

the darkness shall cover me;

ean markedly reduce bullding
construction costs,

Strong support for this view
has been voiced in the Legisla-
ture this year Leslie Peterson,
Minister of Education,

In speaking of school con-
struction, Mr, Petersonreported
that: “As our investigation and
study of the problem of rising
costs proceed, wa are becoming
more and more convinced that
there is a long-term need to
standardize components and
eventually move in the direction
of modular ¢o-ordination and pre~
built compononts.”*

Just how favourably this trend
could affect construction costs
waa made abundantly clear by
Mr, Peterson,

“We. Imow,”” he said,
great savings can be made, and,
in some ‘school districts, are
being made,

Last fall I was privileged to
open a new elementary school
in Cranbrook where preebuilt
components were used, The
tender for this school, with con-
ventional design and construc-
tion, came in at $141,000, In
its pre-built version, larger by
700 square feet, it cost $117,.
G00. This represents a saving
of nearly $5,000 per classroom,
or $6 per square foat,’*

“Also last fall, I saw a new
school dormitory at Burns Lake
built on the same principle, Tis
cost was approximately$110,000,
compared to an estimated $167,»
000 had conventional methods
been used, The saving was
$3,05 per square foot, Thare
are other examples throughout
the province and I hope they
will multiply.”

“that | 1a

He: said that achool boards
‘| were being asked to plan prace.
tical bufldings, making ‘use -of
the best possible means to cut
costs and eliminate any design
features which suggested lavish»
negs, te use of pre-built
and repeated components e
use of ‘standardized materials
must take precedence over any
concept of customizing a school. "

For my own part, 1 would
further point out that the forest
industry, by expanding its acti-
ity in this field of production
would not only assist in over.
coming the sehool construction
problem but would also assist
itself by raising the value of
its products through more re-
fined manufacture of wood matez~

Is.

And, as British Columbia's
major industry, in so doing ft
would benefit the province as a
whole,
