Theyre “Made In B.C.”

Elsewhere in this issue will be found stories and adver-
tisements designed to stimulate readers into an awareness of
the common sense theory that buying the products of the prov-
ince you live in ultimately benefits you.

To illustrate the theory a little more clearly, the B.C.
Products Bureau of the Vancouver Board of Trade, in con-
junction with our own local board, is sponsoring a B.C.
Products Show. Crammed into these exhibits will be a wealti:
of information on just what diversified products this province
is manufacturing. Spectators will see new products, recognize
old familiar brands, and gain a capsule education in the
industrial side of our economy.

In conjuntion with the show, local merchants will be
publicizing B.C. Products Week, from September 19 to 26 by
featuring B.C. Products in window and counter displays.

~~“ There should be no hesitation on the part of residents to
buy B.C. products. Their high quality has earned them a solid
reputation in Canadian and foreign markets, a reputation
that is your guaranee of “getting your money’s worth.”

With quality assured, there is still another reason you

should carry a “buy B.C. products’? complex along with you
on a shopping trip. As our manufacturing output increases,
so increases the overall value of other primary and secondary
industries. An outstanding example of this is the development
at Kitimat, which will ulimately be a town of 50,000. The
primary object of the investors in the aluminum subsidiary is
to make money from the production of aluminum, but in order
to produce this metal it has been necessary to spend millions
of dollars in construction materials and labour. It has resulted
in thousands of people flocking to a barren site to build a city,
to start-in business themselves, and to start more money into
circulation. throughout the province. ‘
Greater markets for the products of our industies means
momentum of industrial growth can be maintained. We
elp by buying B.C. products whenever possible. We

New Worlds To Conquer

A high school lad said the other day he wished he had
lived during the First Elizabethan Age, or even 50 or 100 years
ago, when explorers and developers still were pushing back
the frontier:

To his way of thinking this 20th century is pretty tame

The Cracker Barrel Forum

This week we forsook the empor-
ium with its nail kegs and euspidors
and journeyed to Timothy Lake ne:
Lac La Hache to squat on bales of
hay in Cliff Eagle’s Barn amidst the
pungent aromas suggestive of recent’
occupancy by our four-footed friends.
In short, we attended the much ad-
vertised Barn Dance put on by the
jovial proprietor of Eagle's Hunting
Lodge, and other local residents. to
aid the Lac La Hache hockey team.

We arrived about 11 p.m. Satur-
day to find a most courteous police-
man busily engaged preventing traf-
He already had three long
lines of cars neatly pa ed in close
formation but kept arriving
every minute.

Inside, the barn was a seething
mass of humanity arrayed mosuy in
the colorful garments peculiar to he
western cowboy and his lady. It was
advertised as a barn dance and that
is what precise-
what it provea
to be. The stalls
aad been taken
out, a new floor
aid and substan-
tial trussing in-
stalled.

Some may
have termed it a
“hoe-down” but
tool too
small to use as indicative of this
affair. The “Cultivator Drag’ would
be more appropriate. It seemed as

tickling rhythm in what seemed to
be a continuous process. ~
Even the old timers (who will tell
you with a deep sigh, there is noth-
ing like the old fashioned waltz
danced to “Over the Waves,” or
two step done to “Pretty Red Wing”)
even they could be seen performing
some remarkably nimble footwork |
while giving vent to a few Tull: |

world did all those old timers come

stuff. The seven seas have all been explored, the continents all
mapped, men have even reach the north and south poles. All
his life he had seen telehpones and radios. Automobiles ane
too familiar to rate a comment.

Compared with the spacious days of Drake and Frobisher,
of Cook and Vancouver, of Champlain and La Verendrye, the
present has few blank areas left on the map. There are not
many places on the surface of the earth where restless man
has not yet travelled. coe

Look at it that way and the days of the globe-girdling
explorer appear over. Yet, from other aspects, a wealth of
exploration still challenges the adventurer.

All this summer, aerial photographic planes have been
ranging Canada’s sub-arctice so that Canadians can have
accurate and detailed maps of their great northland. The Te-
maining blank spots on the country’s map are rapidly being
filled in. -

Farther afield, a British expedition made history twa
months ago by scaling hitherto-unconquerable Mount Everest.

Industrial uses of atomic energy offer scope for discover-
ies that may change the lives of all mankind.

Despite the breathtaking medical miracles of the last few
years, the world still awaits the unfailing cure for cancer, and
poliomyelitis and heart disease. Some day the researchers may
win their battle with these diseases as they have triumphed
over so many other scourges in the past.

No new worlds to conquer? Why, almost every important
finding raises fresh questions and points the way to unexplored
fields of endeavor. Just as the vastness of Canada’s natural
resources is being developed at Kitimat, at Niagara and in
Ungava, amazing discoveries may be just ahead for Canadian
researchers in new frontiers of science and the human spirit.

that means to that army of old

timers. Every year they will be able
to relive their many experiences to-
gether and get a new lease on life
equivalent to drinking of the foun-
tain of youth. A further annouce-
ment informed us that everything in
the way of goods and services had
been contributed free of cost to the
sponsors. From this it may safely be
assumed the Lae La Hache Hockey
team will continue participating in
local league hockey. It reflects great
credit upon Mr. and Mrs. Eagle who
were largely responsible for initiat-
ing the effort, and their staff of vol-
unteer workers. It spea volumes
for the fine community spirit pre-
vailing in this settlement.

A conservative estimate of the
size of the attendance would be 500
persons. It certainly looks like Tim-
othy Lake will have to get a bigger
barn somehow.

KEEPING PACE...

Nowadays bank staffs use machines
to do much of the record-keeping.
for nearly 9,000,000 deposit accounts.
It is one of the reasons why they are able
to keep up with the greatly-increased
demand for banking services by more
and more customers...and to
maintain the same fast, efficient

handling of your account.

Since 1900, hank staffs have increased from
a few thousand to 48,600... the number of
cheques handled to 1,000,000 a day.
