ADVERTISING PRODUCTION, P.O. BOX_399,_3712 KALUM STREET TERRACE, B.C. The up-coming elections live - and so they can suggest these new ideas into a new community and so better that place also. Everyone has a great deal to say about our present premier who has, admittedly done very much for the province during his term of office. But then again, he just happened to be in that capacity when the time was ripe for certain deals to go through and certain areas to be opened up. At the federal level, economics were ata pretty bad state when the Liberals took over, and whether they have improved matters or made them worse, is being worked out in the Sands of Time now. As for our powerful neighbors in the south, the Americans, they have had _ their troubles over the years with their presidents, and the name of the present ' one will long be remembered long after the effects (if any) of the Amchitka blast this weekend. It is only too bad that more e people are not willing to take an active part in a nation’s government, be it at the It’s rather a good thing that civic elections come up at this time of year . when news of other political scenes, (provincial and federal) are rather routine, with the old promises dragged around again once more and new ones, improbable and otherwise, brought out for discussion and to conn new votes (they hope}. All this very necessary ( but sometimes under-handed and sneaky) hoop-de-la of electioneering proves very absorbing and creates a great deal of interest in the community, its finances and its efforts. Some of the potential candidates have big ideas of what they would like to see done in their areas and they are to be commended for their interest in their community and it does take a lot of time and thankless work to be in any public office. And they are greatly critisized for doing it that way. If they do it the other way, the same thing happens....you cannot please all of the people all of the time and this, you learn very quickly “We stand on guard for thee .. .” THE “GREAT TRIP” IS ALMOST OVER . Suddenly the young don't have all the answers. every few years or so. For with the passing parade, people move about to various sections of the country and pick up good ideas for community efforts and a city’s business as they go along - OF OUR PREMIER By Bill Thomas British Columbia is 4 vast, province that runs from the border of Washington to Alaska.

KNEELAND PALO ALTO, Calif. - The preat youth trip, that heady, sometimes breathtaking sometimes frightening, roller coaster ride that careened through the late years of the 1960°s and plunged headlong into this decade, is. slowing down and may be almost over. Two or three years ago, a member of the administration of Standard University | here. recalled the other day, he was entertaining @ | Broap oF students: at his home- when he asked: “Who are your heroes? Who do -you really admire?” Alter a few awkward moments in which nobody ‘spoke, a young man replied. “Us he said. No one : disputed him. And I may have spoken for a generation of. high school and college. students, of young people in ‘general. - This fall it is. still amost impossible to find individuals who are heroes to the young.’ But theself-worship of the youth — cult, the easy assumption that youth has all the answers is dying, too. SEALER RESRAREERRSNI Alcan Aluminium Limited reports consolidated net income of $47.0 million in the first nine months of 1971, a8 compared. with $57.0 million (before extraordinary items) in the first three quarters of last year, Net income per common share was $137 against $1.68 per share last year, a decline of 18 percent, In addition in last year’s period there was -an extraordinary profit of 23 cents per share arising - from exchange revaluation of Canadian working capital, In the third quarter this year, Alcan had net income of $15.1 million which produced earnings of 44 cents. per ’ common. share, as compared with $13.9. million and 41 cents per common share (before extraordinary items: of 15 cents per share) in the third quarter of 1970.
