This week we proudly tip our hats
to a group of young citizens which
is endeavouring with exceptional
success to provide a program of social
activities designed to usefully em-
ploy the leisure hours of the tcwn’s
teen-age population.

We refer, of course, to the Stu-
dents Council of the Williams Lake
High School under the capable and
energetic presidency of Joan Huston.
This is activity of the utmost ‘in-
portance, and effort worthy of the
highest acclaim. The high: school
auditorium, and its other facilities,
utilized in this manner cannot fail to
fully compensate for all the funds
invested in them.

We hope the effort of this group
to provide a suitable library for its
associates will prove equally suecess-
ful. We have not heard them calling
for help yet but if they should we
trust it will be forthcoming in gen-
erous abundance.

The airport issue must be-worn a
bit threadbare by this timé so we
We now leave this matter to those
one or two items appearing last week.
In the event of the Lytton bridges
being put out of commission it is the
firm ‘opinion of this forum we would
be infinitely better off, in the emer-
gency, if we could put a fleet of
trucks into operation along a first~
class freight highway running from
Vancouver to Lillooet than we would
be had we to rely upon the PGH in its
present condition with its rickety
trestles, skimpy ballast-and light
weight rails. The trucks would do a
better job. We would suggest those
who question that should read Don-
ald Gordon’s doleful report upon the
1952 operations of the CNR. He
acknowledges that enabling legisla-
tion is the only thing that makes it
possible for the railroads to meet the
challenge of the trucking services in
many. branches of their. operations.

In case of a war those considerations
would not be applicable.

We have never supported the Sa-
vona connection. We have consist-
ently rooted for the Lillovet-Lytton
route, feeling that it offers the must
advantages in the over all pattern
Ne now leave this matter to those
who may ‘still feel some advantage
may be gained by further worrying
over it. ?

Big Creek News

AFTER a two week stay in the
hospital, Truman Henry was able to
return home with his mother last
Sunday. The badly crushed finger,
which Dr. Avery was successful in
saving, still requires a lot of care,
and has a good deal of growing and
healing to do yet. Hazel relieved the
idleness of her stay in town by go-
ing to work in Ure’s Laundry for the
last few days.

ARRIVAL of the Easter holidays
has brought the following temporary
changes: Mary Hutchinson came up
from Alexis Creek Thursday to
spend the Easter week end with her
sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. J. T. Wilson. Gwen Fletcher
left Thursday for her home in Trail.
Accompanyihg Miss Fletcher and
sharing her holiday is Teddy Paul,
young son of Mrs. Helen Paul, who
is employed at Church's. Home from
Penticton is Johnny Church accom-
panied by Bileen Taylor and Edna
Hugo, both of Penticton.

MRS. DUANE WITTE went out

last week.to Williams Lake, where
she will be staying for a while.

BRUCE WATT and AL BURNETT

Range Reseeding Ways Studied

The ranging industry of the inter-
mountain region of British Columbia
depends on a narrow strip of grass-
land along the major river valleys.
This spring-fall range holds the key
to any extension of range livestock
production. Because of the scarcity
of open range it has been abused for
the most part and its productive ca-
pacity has declined, so any method
used to increase the grazing capacity
will benefit ranching and aid greatly
in putting that industry on a sounder
eccnomic footing.

Range reseeding offers only one
answer to this problem and is limited
because of rough topography and
rocky soils. With a view to evalu-
ating range seedings, workers on the
Range Experiment Station at Kam
loops have taken clippings from 10
year old, well-established stands of
Crested Wheat grass and compared
them to adjacent native range. They
found that on well grazed areas the
seedings yielded an average of 753
pounds of dry matter per acre while
the native sod, consisting of low
grade perennials and annuals, only
gave 319 pounds. On lightly grazed
or protected areas, mainly in native
bunehgrass, the comparison was not
as striking with both reseeded and
native species yielding about 600
pounds.

Range reseeding results are often
doubtful, according to T. G. Willis of
the Station at Manyberries, Alberta,
Crested Wheat grass and compared
It is also a costly procedure ranging
from five to $20 per acre depending
on fencing that may be necessary be-
cause new seedings have to be pro-
tected during their period of estab-
lishment. This means that the land
is taken out of production for one to
two years. Native range, if grazed
judictously or rested completely will
regain its productivity to the point
were it could compete with a range
seeding, says Mr. Willis, but this is
true only if there are sufficient num-
bers of good native perennial grasses
to provide the initial impetus for re-

habilitation. If these are not present
and the land is producing only weedy
species then it pays to reseed.
Reseeding of ranges in British Col-
imbia should be limited to areas
large enough to warrant the use of
machinery, over 100 acres in extent,
or where the seed may be drilled in
or otherwise covered; ranges receiv-
ing sufficient yearly precipitation to
insure a “catch” from the seed or
where most good grazing species have
ceased to exist, or areas that can and
will be protected from grazing dur-
ing establishment, and where the
rancher intends to practise goud
rangé.management.
