One or two businessmen are going to close shop until the strike is oyer; others are. girding themselves to takev the punches with the least possible hurt.

"With a problem as serious ja.s vthe IWA strike upon us, it is a sure sign of cajreless apathy khi. the part of those who did not take the time to wait five minutes to vote on th'e resolution," he said..

Reader's Right LIBERALS START CAMPAIGNING Editor, The News, Sir: ��� While the election issue is still in doubt and may yet see Batt '\ Maclntyre re-elected on the final count, it m beyond comprehension hoAV so many free enterprise voters could commit political Hari Kari by supporting an . unknown, untried, quantity such as the Social Credit in, MacKenzie Riding, rather than to get ���svolidly behind the man that for the past three yeaxs. as our MLA have given all his tal- -e ntis, energy and time in bringing about the greatest progress MacKenzie riding, and the Sechelt Peninsula in particular, has ever known. It is nothing short of; a catastrophe t>r British Colum- bia;?J;hat the desire to protest a'gains.tflone or two points of uhpopujltr, though necessary,' legislation, or the personal bias against any or more individual in the government, that the tremendeous progress our province has enjoyed under Liberal leadership should be sacrificed. Regardless of the final outcome of the vote -on July 3, every citizen, will feel .'���������thie impact of retarded economic conditions and setbacks in local, development?. The present, standing- of candidate elects indicates that no party could form a, Government for any length of time. On every one of the thousands.-.? who voted the Liberal ticket in B.C. rests the responsibility to work earnestly for the Liberal principles in which Ave believe. Let the axiom of a "good liberal" mean more than just turning, out ^ti^he /'(polls \ ^a t;:; :?.jelection, gress or your community your business by taking an active part in the local associations and, correct- from within any party policy., that may need correcting. Convince your neighbor that the Liberal way is the only way- to table, progressive! government. Let us unite stronger than ever to assure.prosperity for our province with a strong Liberal government elections. i n subsequent Andrew Johnston President MacKenzie:-itiding, Liberel Association.

Because mountains slope steeply into the arm, about 60 pier cent of "the 221/��-niile line was built1 from rafts. Men clambered up the rugged shoreline with air hoses hooked onto compressors on*'the rafts to dig pole holes in solid rock. Poles for the H-frame- structures, 'whicjh carry the line were set using an A-frame and gin polle mounted on a raft. Similarly, stringing of conductor had to be carried out from the water, using small boats and machinery on floats. For 16 miles from the power house the line zig-zags back and forth and up aaijd down the steep shoreline', jumping from, point to point, crossing hundreds of tiny creeks and . w alt erf alls. Then it leaves the water and climbs sharply upwards over a 2,500-foot pass between tow- lerainig coastal peaks and drops down into the new Sechelt substation. Construction men had to make' their way up the pass from stea level campsites each day. They worked in all kinds of weJathier ��� in wind,, raiin anid mud, in snow and cold, and in heat and. dust. The line is a credit tp the dogged determination and ingenuity of line construction superintendent Daxje McKay and his mem. McKay, incidentally, was welli known in past' years for his prowess ais ia. hocloey player with the Chicar go Black Hawks, and other teams in minor leagues.

The switchboard was made in Vancouver, and installled under the supervision of Wilf Stevens, consulting engineer of New Westminster, The interior of the powerhouse with its two turbines and Bepoo generators. and on June 15, 1937, at 6:34 p.m. electric energy flowed through the wires and, my house being already wired as I. had a 750-watt Delco plant, I was the firnt in the whole 'district to havJe. light from the new' plaint. The President, Mr. Murray, engineers, linemen and crew of Columbia Power Company who boardied with me celebrated that June evening with a good brand of Scotch. Progress had started on the Peninsula that evening.. The late Jack * Newman of Roberts Creek wats the first operator anh he acted a too as lineman, maintenance mian, etc. ���during bin sparetime he wir- d houses. Poor Jack had very little spare time as thie- plant demanded his: ? attention 24 hours a day. Rocks would rush down the pipe linje and hit the needle valve and thus'stop the flow of water to the small Pelton wheie-1 and also stop our juice. Jack would pull the whole thing apart, get the rocks out, re-assemble the pipe and probably an* hour later would .repeat the performance. .. Ttvwais.no cinch for the operator in. those days. I remember another night in ... September .1,937'when the voltage, regulator got out of control? and pushed the voltage to 175 volts causing our radio '\nbevt to blow out. This was a big expense for Columbia Power Company as they made good all damaged radios. Dave Laverock, resident engineer, would leiave >eaeh day for Gibsons and way points to talk to would-be-, consumers. . Dave would point out the good ��� things aibout haying electricity but poor Dave would be lucky if he got one customer a day, as the expense of wiring houses was costly. I remember how ^delighted he was when he signed up his 25th customer.

From a Needle to an Anciior we'll Transfer it .'���������;';.( Speedily and Carefully Thursday June 26 1952 The Coast News 9 News analysts have their own 'explanations as to why British Golumbia has got herself into the kind of political muddle we thought was possible only in countries like France or Italy, i&ncl almost all tbel-ie analysts have been emphatic in the assertion that the alternative voting system is not to blame. They point to the fact that under the old system we still would be in a political muddle'; and some analysts see a possibility of second choice count making everything aill right. And, yet., the alternative a voting dy to lake ovei^. Their would have been a system may have had a, lot to do with" the muddle: Look at. it this way: People, in the main, are slow to change; there is a mental inertia to overcome. So that, changes come slowV But once the1 inertias is overcome, 1hen the. change becomes easy, natural. .:������... Change begats change. The very fact we changed our age-old system of voting to a new-fangled scheme has had the effect of proving to- some people that a change from the old system (in everything) is often,' desirable. If we can prove that the voting system we have held so long and cherished so long -ought to be changed, then it is "riot a far cry to prove that thei type of government in power ought to be changed. The alternative voting system overcame the iiiiertia which has overthrown the old-line parties. For, change begats change. The ^(lection was a protest a'gainst ihe Liberal regime. Had we' not overcome the int- ertia that holds,back change, it is quite, possible .w-ei would, right now, have a Progressive Conservative government rea- election protest against the Johnson machine, while still retaining the "old line", fctpm ,of government. But the alternative voting ;. led: to an entire overthrow of former voting systems and the result-; -of 'former voting systems. The phenomenal growth of Social Credit in B.C. has had a1 lot to do with this desire for a change. Many who voted for Social Credit did not do so because they liked its platform; they voted Social Credit because they were fed up with the Liberals and the Conservatives a:nd did not want to take a chance on Socialism. And, because there had been a schism in the ranks of the Pro-Cons���a group who wanted W.. A. C. Bennett as party leader, many of them followed him int'v the Socred group through their votes. The Pro- Ooni who remained loyal to the ?&nscomb regime '' would probably rather give., their second choice to Bennett than to the party which tossed their V'pder 'lit on his ear. It is likely, therefore, that most of the second choice votes cast on the Progressive Conservative ballots will be for Social Credit. And in most instances if ir ihe Pro-CenT candidate who will be eliminated in the second, count. It appears certain, therefore, that the next count, for second .choice, will only serve to bring'the Socreds up closer to the top, morei in line with tlie CCF count. Certainly it will not boost the CCF cnnnt, v-"-v w'l1 "t have much effect * ** on the Liberal count. Here, in MacKenzie, it appears .(likely thai the second choice count of thei Eckardt ballots will give Maclntyre a' slight edge over Gargrave. with Gresty running a closer third. This will necessitate' a third, count, with Gresty' drop- pin g oi.it. And, it is conceivable, al though not ��� likely, that the majority of Gresty \s second choices would go to Eckardt' ��� who is automatically out of the running. No matter how you look at it, a new election appears imminent. But, the second and third choices may change the picture, when the are counted en July 3.
