ean produce electric power at a cost
comparable to that of hydro instal-
lations.

Possibilty of a gas pipeline extend-
ing through the Fraser basin to the
Pacific coast gives rise to an inter-
esting alternative as a solution to the
Power problem, that is currently
plaguing the centraj interio:

And the diesel operations have this
4g advantage in their favor. Adapr-
ng certain types of engines to the
use of gas: (engines of the type now
neing installed in Quesnel) is a rela:
ivelY simple matter.

An immediate move towards the es-
tablishment of a hydro deve.opment
such as that proposed on tle Quesnel
River appears to have been forgotten,
or at least shelved for the present.

While the wrangle between ‘he fish
sries and the power interests without
doubt had much to do with duaying
‘he proposed hydro project it also
eems reasonable to assume that it is
ow further retarded by the tighten
ing money market, a deveiopment

an obstacle for some time.

chip in with an old age pension.

These and the benefits of social assistance, unemployment
insurance and probably a few others that aren’t as readily dis-
cernible, have been wished upon us by our governments in a
fine parental attitude. Undoubtedly the reason has been to
save the country from the horrors of socialism by snitching
some of their more palatable theories as their very own.

But with every new scheme that is evolved “for our own
good,” and neatly rammed down our throats, there is another
bureau needed, another staff of civil Servants to see that we do
what we're told — and a little more freedom is taken from us
— a little more regimentation is quietly inserted in its place.

Undoubtedly some of these plans have a lot of merit, o
parts of them have; but are we really alive to the price we
are paying for this ultimate “womb to tomb” eare?

We believe that its greatest curse will be the attendant

* attitude of more and more of the country’s citizens to place the
safety of security above the Tisks that have to be taken along
the road to free enterprise. We suggest that it is apparent now,
and that as other generations grow up in the shade of comfort-
ing government Scare” the tendency will become more and
more marked. ‘ :

In this country’s infaney a civilization was gradually
hacked out of the frontier, and not all of the men responsible
were strong in muscle and character; some of them were
weak too — but weak or. strong they were’t seeking security. If
they had been they would have stayed in the cities of the east.

We speak of our country now as being in its virile youth
— that this century belongs to Canada. But youth and security
are ill matched, and that’s what we are trying to do today.

Our governments would be much better advised to give
More time to problems of developing the country than to
regimenting the people.
