POWER COMMISSION LOOKS
TO FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

The British Columbia Power
Commission, which observes its
15th anniversary in April, ap-
pears to have reached a signi-
ficant milestone in its role of
improving the availability and

capacity installed while the stat-
ions at Dawson Creek, Quesnel
and Prince George will operate
with increased capacities during
the winter and spring of 1960.

QUESNEL — In a deal com-
pleted two weeks ago Two Mile
Planing Mill here took over the
Pacific Western Planing Mills
operation. The transaction was
confirmed last Thursday by Sam
Ketchum, general manager of
Two Mile Planing Mills Ltd.

Mr. Ketchum stated that no
change in management or opera-

tion was being contemplated.

supply of electrical energy in the
province.

In 1960 the Commission will
begin the job of extending ser-
vice to a remaining 3,000 poten-
tial customers on the fringes of
its rural lines. This will be
done under government subsidy.
At the same time, the Commis-
sion-is" interested in the develop-
ment of large sources of power
supply, which indicates an era
of close co-operation with other
power-producing agencies, since
the development of rivers such
as the Columbia-and the Peace
hinges upon sales to the entire
British Columbia market.

At the moment, for the first
time in the Power Commission's
history, the publicly-owned util-
ity, with a total generating capa-
city of 600,000 horsepower, has
some reserve power.

Lamb not popular
on Canadian menu

How Canadian house-
wives serve lamb? Unfortunately,
Jonly a small number. In fact 60
per cent of this country’s home-
makers never serve it. This
startling faet of Canadian lamb
Jeating habits was brought out by
|a survey conducted among 4,103
| English-speaking housewives. The
survey was conducted by the New
Zealand Meat Producers’ Board to
Jassist this country’s lamb indus-
try to New Zealand

Dawson Creek and _ Prince

the stations to 23,870 and 25,

One unit of the same rating is
being installed at Quesnel and
will boost the output of that
Plant to 21,050 horsepower.

Related to the expansion of
the Prince George plant is the

He adds that the deal adds
considerably to the firm’s supply
of spruce and that the combined
output of the two operations here
will be approximately two million
feet of lumber a month.

In addition to their two opera-

also have the West Fraser Timber

PITHY PUN

Pithy pun was cracked at last
Tuesday’s village meeting by
chairman Herb Gardner when the
commissioners were carefully con-
sidering a new by-law in an ab-
stract maze of legal verbage and
extracted from a provincial act.

“The first part of this para-
graph is awfully simple,” he ob-
served, “while the latter part is

When the transmission line is
energized early in 1960, two

taken out of service.

In the Southern Interior, 42
