Central B.C. Should Speak Up 

PGE construction is baclt in 'the news and most attention 

is focussed on the projected extension to tlie south wliich 

would provide a direct linl< with the Port of Vancouver. 

Already West Vancouver, strongly in opposition to such a 

move, has made representation to Victoria in an endeavor 

to bloclc such construction. Rebuffed at the initial attempt, 

the West Vancouver interests are now apparently preparing 

lo continue the fight from another angle. 

Opposition from West' Vancouver, can be orpectod. Thjit 

community saw the rails that once stretched lo Hor.so.shoe 

Bay removed. It assumed that nothing further would be done 

with the southern portion of the PGE and gradually tho old 

right-of-way was absorbed by community development. 

But the southern link with Vancouver is important to tho 

central and northern interior, and now that possibil'ty of 

such a link again appeai-s likely it is high time organized 

agencies in this part of the province marshalled their arguments 

in favor of the southern projection.' ' 

With construction work between Quesnel and Prince 

George well advanced there seen-js a certain complacency 

has developed in the interior. Perhaps the link with Prince 

George was so long regarded as a dreamithat interior points 

feel they should not crowd their luck. 

But it would be very foolish to have a completed railroad 

that ties in with the busy Vancouver waterfront slip awa>simply 

because no voice was raised in siipport of the government's 

announced plans for such construction. 

While it might seem a very small matter, having the Boards 

of Trade of Williams Lake, Quesnel, Wells and Prince 

Geoi'ge state then- views on the sou them extension might not 

be amiss at this' time. 

And an expression of opinion from the governing municipal 

bodies of the three organized centres would very likely 

he welcomed by those at present working to fulfil the destiny 

of the PGE. 

For that matter the Peace River district should add its 

voice to the ai'guiT?ent for most assuredly the PGE must Pnk 

that land of opportunity with the Lower Mainland, which 

is the most logical " tide-water outlet' for products of the 

Peace River. 

Still A Good Case For Hydro 

Elsewhere in this paper we. are, taken to task by the Salmon 

Canners' Operating Committee for an edtorial appearing in 

these pages early in Febx'uai-y. 

While admitting that the Salmon Canners present a rea.sonable 

case, .in some instances they are still being a mite 

ofT-hand in a few important particulars. 

Mrs. S. M. Rosenbei-g, chairman of Salmon Canners' Committee 

acts as spokesman, and we feel Mr. Rosenberg is not 

looking facts fairly in the face when he suggests that "at 

least half" the estimated hydro potential of the Quesnel River 

.system can be developed on the North Fork of the river. 

It takes only a brief glance at a map to reveal where the 

greatest volume of water originates and it appears very 

doubtful that the North Fork could ever yield half the power 

that might be realized off the main stream with all the volume 

of both Quesnel and Horsefly lakes behind it. 

Mr. Rosenberg also contends that the Que.snel River 

spawning area is vital if the B.C. salmon yield 's to be maintained, 

yet he must admit that the greasest packs in the history 

of the pi'ovince were made during the years when the 

Quesnel Rivei' run was either negligible- or nil. 

We agree that fisheries are a vital industry in this province, 

and that-fi.sh is an important food on the world mai-kct. 

Yet it seems that of all the rivers on the Fraser system 

the Quesnel appears the most logical to be utilized for power 

rather ihcm fish. 

If the entire potential of the Quesnel were harnessed it 

might well provide power for the whole of central ,B.C., 

linking in eventually with the Whatshan lines to make a vast 

grid through the interior. ' ' 

Mr. Rosenberg's plea for the fullest co-operation and collaboration 

has a suggestion of be'ng a one-sider proposition, 

with hands off to be the rule regarding any stream that might 

harbor a salmon.

Cariboo High School 

Trophies On Display 

THE SCHOOL Basket Ball 

trophies are being placed on 

display for. what may be the 

last time in -the Wells High 

School. These trophies donated 

to the .schools in 1949 have 

been won by the Wells • 

teams two years in a row and 

needless' to say, they are out 

to defend them again this 

year. In foimer years three 

schools were included in the 

challenge, but this year Pr. 

^George will also send out bas- 

'"ket ball teams. 

Ti'anisiportation has always 

been a problem for the mining 

town, but it is hoped that 

several extra players as well 

as spectators may make the 

trip on March 3. Players to 

make the trip are: 

Girls: Heatlier Carolan, Mae 

Warawa,' Abie Babington, Ina 

Lee, Peanut Kelly, Lenore 

Ford, Jean Jensen and Myrtle 

Kelly. Boys: Wes Livingstone, 

John Mahon, Bud White, Eugene 

Butterfield, Maurice 

Champoux, Art Gilbert, Roy 

Anderson and Ralph Rollie. 

HIGH GIRLS, FLYERS 

HOOP WINNERS 

THE BASKETBALL games on 

Wednesday, 21st, was played 

by High school and Jack O' 

Clubs girls. The games started 

off with Jacks in the lead 

but high school were not long 

in gaining a considerable 

lead with A. Ba;bmgton. Heather 

Carolan and J. Jenson 

bagging 10-8-8 points respectively. 

The Jacks had' tough 

luck in their shots but managed 

to sink three baskets 

which were evenly divided among 

their players. The final 

score of the game being 30-6. 

The boys' game was between 

the Wells Hotel and the 

Flyers. Due to the .shortage 

of players on the hotel team, 

juniors were picked up to 

play for them. The Flyers 

then had no trouble romping 

awa.y to a score of 38-24. Wes 

Livingstone and Alex Bodinchuck 

shared the honors for 

tops' scorers on the- Flyers 

team, while Ted North did 

his part for Wells IJotel. 

Wells'H]^'51 Grads 

JEAN JENSON is to bo the

as a 1951 graduate 

stx'dent. 

She was born in, Haney in 

the year 1933 and has lived 

in Wells for 14 years. She is 

d'lYz" tall, and a brunette 

with brown eyes. Havinc: ai-' 

ways been a very good student 

and made high marks she 

will very likely graduate with 

honors. She is now playing 

for the third year on the Hi 

School Basketball team as a 

guard and has helped to win 

the Basketball trophy twice. 

After she graduates she plans 

to go to Normal in Vancouver 

and she would like to leach 

grades five and six when she 

complete.s her courses there. 

Trips Cancelled 

AN ALL-STAR senior trip to 

Prince George which was 

scheduled for last weekend 

had to be cancelled. First 

lack of players then cars caused 

the sudden change in 

plans. It is hoped though that 

games will be arranged at a 

later date, but all the" players 

are looking forward to the 

Cariboo Championships to be 

held on March 17 In Prince 

George. 

Also the high school, basketball 

players were to go to 

Williams Lake last week, but 

due to short notice and tran- 

.sportation ^difficulties, they 

wore unable to make the trip.

ALTHOUGH only 14 in num- 

.. ber, the Canary and 

Scarlet Tanager Patrols of 

the First Wells Company of 

Girl Guides have been comparatively 

active and sines the 

first of the year, we have been 

busy principally witli Second 

Class work, while three 

girls are completing First 

Class and working for Proficiency 

Badges. 

On February 13th we had 

our- Valentine' party. Deciding 

that it was an excelleiit opportunity 

for some of us to 

take our test for Hostess Proficiency 

ba.dge, we arranged 

the evening ourselves, invited 

pur Tester and several'mothers 

and friends to attend. 

After our regular meeting of 

campfire, games, etc. we f-erved' 

refreshments, all of 

which the girls had prepared 

themselves. 

Due to the generosity of tlie 

girls, we had' sufficient left 

over to sell tea. and refre.sh-. 

ments to the badminton players, 

who were meeting in the 

upper hall, and realized two 

dollars for our Company. The 

players felt it was an excellent 

idea - so did wc. 

We ha.ve had two winter 

hikes and the girls did well at 

their flre-llghtlng test. After 

all, it takes a good Guide to 

light a fire In a snowbanlc 

with two matches, considering 

she has to hunt tor dry 

wood when tho .snow i.s three 

feet deep! But it made thos?

taste just that much better. 

Right now we are taking

We hope to have a Fly-up

In referring to the alarms 

of war that we are 

hearing he stated that we are 

short of certain strategic metals. 

He said-we needed cobalt, 

molybdenum, antimony, 

tungsten, chromium, magnes 

ium, cinnabar, titannium and 

manganese.^ 

- "In my own riding of Cariboo 

are ample supplies of 

many of these strategic metals. 

The old-t'mers knew 

where there was manganese 

The Valent'ne Dance held 

"in Windt's Hall on Saturday, 

February 17, was an enjoyable 

affair. There wasn't a big 

crowd but those who attended 

had a splendid time. Mrs. 

Bill Broughton won the door 

prize, and Joe Macalister was 

the lucky, ticket holder in the 

raffle. 

The;, school children have 

statred school again, most of 

, them are back to norrnal a-; 

gain, as far as the cbughingis 

concerned.

drive held at Henry Moffat's,

I would like to add- that the 

. exiDeriments being conduct- 

' ed by the International Commi,ssion 

on the Quesnel River 

are not, as you have stated, 

"a closely guai'ded se- | 

cret." Both provincial and 

Federal governments, the industry 

and the press have 

been fmniished with periodic 

reports of this investigation 

leading to the rehabilitation 

of the Quesnel sockeye. The 

facilities located on the river 

are always open to the pub- 

I'c and wo have found that 

the Commission is more than 

willing to furnish information 

on the .progress of this imimporta'nt 

work. 

I hope that in this" letter I 

have been able to allay some 

pf the doubts which may have 

arisen in the minds of your 

readers about the ii-nportance 

of the main stream of the' 

Quesnel as a vital salmon 

producing stream; More important, 

I hope that yout 

readers will believe that the 

fishing industry is not opposed 

to carefully planned power 

development in this province. 

I am sure that they 

will agree that conflict and 

misunderstanding in the use 

of our natural i-esources 

should be avoided and that 

real progress can only be 

achieved by collaboration and 

co-operation based on mutual 

respect and a sincere interest 

in the full development 

of British Columbia.

Age Is Very {ss^ntial In 

INFORMATION on. the age 

composition of Canada's 

population is not only necessary 

to governments for various 

purposes but is also useful 

to private enterprise in^ 

many ways. Reflecting the 

need for such information is 

the fact that a question on 

age has been asked in. each- 

Census of Cfanada since 1871. 

It will be asked again in the 

1951 Census, to be taken in 

June this year." 

In contrast with most other 

attributes of • the population 

age is an ever-changing characteristic. 

Marriage and parenthood 

are associated with 

certain ages; death is more 

freqvient during the early and 

the late years of life; school . 

attendance is confined to the 

younger ages; employment 

opportunities are highest for 

the ages 20 to 45; military 

service is generally confined 

to maiiss fi'om 18 to 45, with 

a breakdown within these 

limits in accordance with." the 

physical demands of the type 

of service; retirement from 

the stress and strain of active 

employment is usual between 

65 and 70, 

At the time of the last Census 

in 1941 the average age 

of the Canadian population 

was 30.4 years. This figure 

compares with 28.6 ten years 

earlier, 27.4 for 1921, 26.9 for 

1911, 27.1 for 1901, 25.8 for 

1891 and 24.7 for 1881. Thus, 

except in 1911, when the Cen- 

'sus reflected the effect of heavy 

immigration in the immediately 

preceding years, the 

decennial censuses have recorded 

an unbroken upward 

trend in the average age of 

the population. In the first 

decades of this century there 

was a rise of 3.3 years. 

The proportions of the population 

in the different age 

groups have changed from 

census to census as a result 

of changes in birth and death 

rates and the ups and do^vns 

of immigration. 

Except for 1911, the proportion 

under five years of 

age has declined from census 

to census from approximately 

14 per cent in 1881 to nine 

per cent in 1941. This i-eflects 

the decline that has taken 

place in birth rates. The proportion 

of all age gi'oups under 

30 yeai's were lower than 

at the beginning of the century. 

"The answers to questions 

on age in the 1951 Census will 

provide a further compax-ison 

over the half century. They 

will show whether the trends 

of the past decades have continued 

and the extent to 

which the increased birth 

rates of recent years have altered 

the country's age composition. 

From the resulting fig-ures 

air levels of government will 

be in a better position to determine 

the requirements for 

such things as infant welfare,

LARGE-SCALE troop landings 

in-Alaska and an air 

invasion of Canada's north by 

Siberian paratroops -would 

probably be a par of Soviet 

strategy 'if war comes, says 

Nichalos Ignatieff, expert on 

Russian military thinking, in 

an article which leads a world 

criss report in the current 

issue of Macleian's. 

The Soviet aim, says Ignatieff, 

would be to tie down 

family to England in 1919 after 

the Communist x-evolution 

in Russia, went overseas with 

the Royal Canadian Engineers 

in 1940 and then was seconded 

to the British War Office 

to assist in plotting the 

probable actions of the Riissians. 

He became head of this 

intelligence, with the rank of 

colonel, and now is warden 

of Hart House' University of 

Toronto.

of railways, roads and industrial

back of Alaska will impose 

a heavy strain on jour 

air forces should a crisis arise." 

To correct thLs weakness, 

says Ignatieff, "it is of great 

importance economically to 

promote the development of 

Canada's Northwest, backing 

Alaska. Here is room for 

many industries and people 

from overcrowded Britain

We cannot effectively' back 

the piolicies of a f\-ee world 

with a population thinking in 

terms of a soft In'ban existence 

and an educational system 

directed at making everything 

easy and secure 

from tough reality." 

"If war comes, says Ignatieff, 

Russian actions would 

probably be governed by this 

strategy: 

"They would not likely use 

the atom bomb first, "as the 

whole Stalinist theory discards 

the : possibility of a 

quick knockout agaiiist a juajor 

adversary. The Russians 

would save their atom bombs 

for Britain only — the most 

vulnerable tax'get of all." 

They would strike first at 

the Middle East and Persia, 

to protect their flank and to 

secure oil. 

They would send "a considerable 

force" to Alaska, 

accompanied by bands of • 

tough Siberian troops landed 

by air in Canada's Nortli. 

They would regiment, train 

and arm the millions of Asia 

for dec'sive battles on a continental 

.scale in Europe and 

Asia. 

Russian's secret weapon in 

a major war, says Ignatieff, 

would be a complete departure 

from the accepted pallcrn 

of battle tactics and ovor^tll 

strategy. 

"Total war to the Soviets 

makes no distinction between - 

civilans and military. There 

arc no lines or frontiers—only 

'fronts'— and the decisive 

front at any time may n':t hr 

n militnry front: if may be 

the oil or bread front." 

Where the orthodo.x general 

chooses the best possible 

cohdit'ons for his troopo thv 

Russian general sefect.s the 

worst, counting on the hardiness 

of his peasant soldiers to 

pull them through. "Thus tlie 

Red Army chooses mud, blizzards, 

fog, nights and impa.s- 

.sablc teri-ain. capitalizing on 

the tough fibre of its soldiery-" 

' By simplifying troop organization, 

the Red Army is able 

to put one man into battle 

for every two enlisted whereas 

it takes seven men to keep 

one fighting in the Britsh 

Army." ",Both men and material 

are completely expendable 

to the Russians." 

In view of their heavy lo.sses 

in World War II, says Ignatieff, 

it is not likely that 

either Russians or the Chinese 

are anxious to risk another 

major war with the 

West. "But the more we appear 

to rely on the atomic 

weapon as our main "strength 

the more likely are the Communists 

to risk a .showdown 

before we wake up. 

If we face the inescapable 

fact lhat atom bombs cannot 

fight cheap and easy wars io!us 

we must marshal resources 

and . manpower on a far 

bigger scale . . . In resources, 

techniques and manpower 

the western nations have a 

.considerable edge." 

But right now, says ^•Ignatieff, 

"the Russians hold most 

of the,high cards: Their dyn- ' 

amic is s'tronger, their goals 

positive and clearly defined 

and they are mobilizing ther 

strength and resources toward 

the attainment of these 

goals."

Question of fhe Weekby 

Jim Helsdon 

The question of, the week 

this time.was "What would 

you suggest as a good name 

for the Senior Boys' Basketball 

team? 

Here are some suggestions 

- we received. 

Laurie Hilborn: "Dead- 

Heads". 

-. ' Billy Magnowski: "Quesnel 

Riders". 

Mrs. Morwood-Clark: "Hi- 

Lites". 

Phil Punt: "Hi-ballers". 

Barbara Corless: "Quesnel 

High School Senior Boys' 

Basketball Team". 

Beth Pierce: "Hi-Hoopsters". 

WCH DEFENSE (RACKS UNDEI PRESSURE 

HIGH SCHOOL boys walked 

off the floor on Monday 

night on the bottom end of a 

74^36 score. Both Wes Manson 

and Otto Monk were 

playing for the Athletic Club 

and this was probably one 

(or should I say two) determininjg 

factor for the Club's 

victory. 

The shifting zone defeiise 

of the High School boys made 

it almost impossible to check. 

Otto Monk and this is shdwn 

by the nice 28 points that hegot. 

Wes Manson wasn't far 

behind him with 17 points. 

This defense is new to the 

boys and because of lack of 

experience, as 'yet, they 

find it hard to manipulate. 

No matter V how hard they 

tried they found it impossible 

to hold the'Club down to the 

few baskets that ^ the boys, 

were able to make. 

On the whole, the game 

was a clean one. There were 

only 11 personal fouls handed 

out in the whole game and 

most of-the free throws from 

tliese were made. This was 

perhaps why tlhere were so 

few fouls.
