Far-Reaching Decision

Where the national interests of two countries are con-
cerned, it takes a great deal of time and discussion before
decisions are forthcoming. This has been the case with West-
coast Transmission Company and its contemplated gas pipe
line from the Peace River country to the coast and particularly

to the United States.

But a recent article in the Financial Post forecasts that
Westcoast’s case before the Federal Power Commission of the
United States may get favourable consideration when the
next hearing is held on February 16. The writer bases his
belief on the fact that in the past few months the picture has
been radically changed as far as the bitter opposition to the
application by the Fish Engineering Corporation.

THIS WEEK’S CROSSWORD

This company wants to serve-the Pacific Northwest from
fields in New Mexico, but it is now understood that the field's
proven reserves have been committed to a California company.
An alternatéve proposal that the Fish interests might have,
of piping gas from Wyoming, is not considered very important
since the extent and deliverability of the gas in this field is
not proven,

While the Fish case has been weakened, the article con-
tinues, Westcoast’s case has been strengthened since the
last hearings. It is known that influential organs of the U.S.
Administration, including the Petroleum Administration for
Defense, and the National Security Council, are supporting
the Canadian line. They are believed to be anxious both to keep
U.S. gas in the U.S. and also to encourage the development
of the northern Canadian field.

All of this makes good reading for the residents of the
Cariboo who live along the route of Westcoast’s proposed gas
line. At our present growth stage in British Columbia we can-
not supply a large enough market for natural gas to make
construction of the long pipeline an economic feasability. We
need the markets of the Pacific Northwest, and it will take a
decision from Washington to make that market available.

If approval is given this month, we can expect natural gas
will be available in Williams Lake late in 1954 or early in 1955.

Salesmanship Needed

Board of Trade president Bert Roberts voiced a familiar
complaint at the annual dinner last week when he said the
membership of the board should be much greater. Not wishing
to minimize the financial importance of collecting every $2.50
or $5 membership fee, we venture to suggest that the most!
mportant problem facing the board is selling enthusiam, not
quares of cardboard, = 5 &
Zl ‘Putting the job of collecting memberships into the hands
of someone with the happy ability of cornering prospective
victims at the right time, will probably add half agajn as many
members to the roll. We have developed into a race of “joiners’’
who feel we have @one our part in community enterprise by
adding to the treasury of most of the town’s organizations --
and that includes the board of trade.

Selling enthusiasm is something else again, and we don’t
profess to know the magic sales technique. But it has to be
done if the board is going to carry out its proper function in
in the communi

Bird Masquerade
In the amazing world of nature
many animals birds, fish, and lower
torms of life are mistakenly identified
as being something they are not, or
closely resembling some other
animal. es

This is the fate of the North Am-
eriean Robin. This bird hay been
called a “robin” so long that it would
be almost impossible to persuade peo-
ple that it is not a true robin. The
bird we identify as a robin is, in
reality, a true thrush.

The robin, often called the English
Robin, is a much smaller bird, and
except for the peculiar red coloring
on the breast does not resemble the
thrush at all. These thrushes are

Letter to the Editor

Dear Canadians:

The Commonwealth prime minis-
ters, assembled in London, agreed
that the title of our gracious Queen
will be, “Elizabeth the Second, by
thé grace-of God of the United King-
dom, Canada. and the other realms
and territories Queen, Head of the
Commonwealth, Defender of the
Faith.”

Her Majesty will continue to be
“Queen of Canada,” and “God Save
the Queen” will continue to be the
Canadian National Anthem. In the
United States the National Anthea
is “The Star Spangled Banner,” but
they also have “The Battle Hymn of
the Republic.” In Canada we have
an ideal hymn in YO Canada.”

It is urged that the tune “O
Canada,” and the wording quoted
below be adopted by parliament-as
the Canadian National Hymn. If al)
the nations were imbued with the
sentiments expressed in this prayer-
ful hymn, the present turmoil in the
world would soon subside.

J. Ernest. Crealy, B.S.A.,
Toronto Canada.

O CANADA .

Lord of the Lands, beneath Thy
bending skies,

On field and flood, where’er Thy
banner flies,

Their grateful voices raise;

May Canada forever be

A temple to Thy praise,

Thy will alone let all enthrone;

Lord of the Lands, make Canada

Thine own;

Lord of the Lands,
Thine own:

make Canada

Almighty Love, ,by Thy mysterious
power,
In wisdom guide, with faith ané
freedom dower;
Be ours a nation evermore
That no oppression blights,
Where justice rules from shore to
shore,
From lakes to northern lights,
May love alone for wrong atone,

Thy people lift their hearts to Thee.

Lord of the Lands, make Canada
Thine own;

Lord of the Lands, make Canada
Thine own:

Lord of the Worlds, with strong
eternal hand,
Rule us in honor, truth and seli-
—command; ~
The loyal heart, the constant mind,
The courage to he true,
Our Commonwealth and Empire
bind,
And all the earth renew,
Thy name be known through every
zone; 4
Lord of the Worlds, make all the
> lands Thine own;
Lord: of the Worlds, make all the
lands Thine own:
