Let’s leave the coccoon

* The almost announcement thatSamuel Williams
C) Limited will begin construction to make
Itimat BC’s second harbour is good news in

Terrace, .

The Harbour development, following shortly
after the go-ahead given by Euracan to build
a major pulp mill, means strong economic
growth in this part of the province.

Kitimat obviously will boom, But eventhe most
addled economist must 5e@ a corresponding
economic explosion for the whole area,

CNR fs already Studing ways to channel goous
from as far east as Saskatchewan through to

Kitimat, The total complex means
more people, and more money,

it doesn’t need a crystal ball to predict a
growing link between Kitimat and Terrace, nor
the fact that Terrace must be considered as 4
major base for industries seeking rail and harbor
outlets to market eoods overseas,

The trouble with economic explosions is that
they do not wait for people to develop a suitable
frame of mind,

The current developments at Kitimat prasent
an opportunity for the district of Terrace to

more jobs,

Quiet, please, Mr. Gordon

Skeena MP Frank Howard, writing from the
lower section of this week's editorial page,
feels that the Liberal Cabinet Minister Walter
Gordon was unjustly silenced by Prime Minister
Pearson.

The Pearson gag, applied in acabinet meeting,

followed some hot and strong criticism of the
‘US policy in Vietnam by the outspoken Mr,

Gordon,

Frank Howard contends that Mr. Gordon should
have heen dismissed from the Cabinet if drastic
measures needed to be taken, but that he should
not be silenced,

Mr, Gordon’s maverick brand of Politics is
Perhaps a needed ingredient in a hodge-podge
cabinet: his dismissal may have durther divided
the Liberal Party, .

Rut the lesser measure, of telling him to.

move into the mainstream of Progress in British
Columbia.

But i€ fs an opporlunity,
passport to prosperity,

We have to forget the old myth of. being a
frontier communily of cowboys and rugged plon-
eers, remote from all that city hustle and
bustle, .

The time has come for Terrace to speak to
the rest of the province, to make a statement
of Intent, to grow and to receive more citlzens,

Instead of a plaintive walling for new business
to come to the area so that the tax bill may be
pald, we have to hear strong, positive arguments
as to why it would bea major advantage to
establish industries in this area,

We have to hear if from our elected represen-
tatives in the provincial legislature and the
federal parllament, trom the Chamber of Com-
merce, the service clubs and the Municipal
Council,

Terrace must come out of its coccoon with
some imaginative and intelligent public relations,

We have the potential in our citizens, the op-
portunity ts here, We can't afford to Tet it
pass,

not a gift-wrapped

policy of the Cabinet, does not seem to he
extreme,

Canada already has 4 minority government.
Should Mr, Gordon continue to Speak so directly
as a “private citizen,'’ we shall also be re-
duced to a minority cabinet,

We agree that for the good of the country
and for a breath of honesty and courage in
political lite, members of parliament should
cross party Unes and vote and comment on
issues according to their conscience,

But a cabinet minister has 4 stronger com-"
mitment to the Government, He is a public
citizen, His statements, no matter how qualit.
ied, must Inevitably be taken as the thinking
of the government,

It Is possible, although dublous, that Mr. Pears
son has a Vietnam policy

the effect that the increase in

ning politics from behind closed

a breakthrough depends, to ade-
gree, upon the amount of public

Perhaps we can help that
public concern by spreading fur-

the rule of authoritarianism,
