Mackenzies Limited education in the district: they support families, who, in turn, pay taxes and support local business enterprise. Our town is not lacking entirely in small industries, but ‘> there are more needed to further develop the community and Provide additional payrolls. >People of this or any community, however, cannot sit back and expect industries to spring up of their own accord as if by magic. Nor can they base their hopes alone on the Possibility of outside firms establishing industries here. We must be prepared to help ourselves to industries. We should have enough faith in our community and dis- trict to invest money here, enough gumption to work for it and enough imagination to see opportunities. A good example of community effort in developing local industry is the achievement of Altona, a small town in Mani- toba. There, through co-operative effort, has been established a vegetable oil refinery which last year produced oil and other products valued at well over a million dollars.

It is understandable merchants should want the highway that Williams Lake lo pass through their business district, even though it has become accepted practice in highway construction to by-pass towns as much as_ possible.

Tourists intent on terreting out seenic wonders are always at liberty to digress from the beaten path. To continue use of a route that is certain- ly more dangerous and costly to main- tain than to follow a new one with better grade and other advantges would be foolish indeed, Even from the tourist standpoint it is doubtful if many drivers, used to the broad, smooth highways of today would relish the drive over the Wil- liams Lake-Soda Creek road with its sheer drops and other hazards’ as against travelling a new road without such spectacular features It is no secret that the Fraser Can- yon Highway is found alarming by many visitors to B.C. The Fraser Canyon is being improved at colossal cost simply because there is no othe way of reaching the coast so directly. In the Cariboo it is different. Com- petent engineers have located an alter- nate route that will provide greater safety and more economi¢al mainten- ance.

Mrs. Johnson’s is one of the 3,200,000 new bank accounts opened during the past ten years. Like most people nowadays, she relies on her bank to safeguard her money; she expects her bank book to show how she stands; she finds bank cheques convenient to pay larger bills. The chartered banks appreciate — and depend on — the confidence of depositors like Mrs. Johnson. For the money which Canadians keep in 8,000,000 bank accounts provides the basis for bank lending. Safeguarding these funds is the banker’s first concern. One of a series by your bank
