Rotary Observes

St. Valentine’s

Q Terrace . Rotary Club held a
m festive evening February 12 when
ma they combined the celebration of
me St, Valentine's Day and Rotary In-
me ternationals’ Gist anniversary.

Close to one hundred members,
ae wives and friends gathered for a
mm banquet in the Lakelse Hotel, fol-

flowed by a dance,

During the dinner R. C, Sand-
me aver-Sly proposed a toast to the
a ladies, ably replied to by Mrs.
mC, J. Norrington,

5 The hall was decked in Valen-
me tine theme and the Echos supplied
me lively music of dancing.

The successful event was at-

the expansion of the pulp and
paper industry will be responsi-
le.

Apart from the obvious pieas-
Ure of seeing our “dynamic saci-
ety” at work, there is a great deal
of satisfaction in the: fact thal,
after nearly 175 years, a British
Columbia town will honor the
name of one of the Province’s
earliest and most remarkable ex-
plorers — Alexander Mackenzie,

In May, 1793, at a place not too
far from where the new munici-
pality of Mackenzie is coming into
being, Alexander Mackenzie was
preparing to leave his encamp-
ment on a journey which was to
take him from the Peace River, by
land and water to the open sea
where, on July 22 of the same
yeat, he became the first white
man fo cross from sea to sea over
the broad lands of North America,

There wasfi't really too much
change in this northern wilderness
after he left.

Today, the noise of the bull
dozer, the hammer, and the saw
herald a new way of life for the
area,

| Northern Frontier Enthusiasm Helps Build New Town

—by TH HONOURABLE RAY WILLISTON,
Minister of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources -

a = Although more than half the length of the Province
meaeparates them from Morfee Lakes, north of Prince George,
Bere are mén working in certain Vancouver offices who have

Timber Ltd, are establishing
themselves on pulp timber sales
In the reservoir area being creat:
ed by the construction of the
Peace River Power Project,

To meet the requirements of
this new area of forest industrial
activity, Alexandra Forest Indus-
tries is making provision for the
creation of an “instant” munici:
Pality. At its Vancouver offices,
there are maps, photographs,
plans, and a mass of other details
necessary to bringing civilization
to Morfee Lakes in a hurry.

The company has done the plan-
ning and surveying for the town-
site, but it will not be a company
town. Other enterprises are being
encouraged to establish themsely-
es in the municipality to provide
the supermarkets, service stations,
hotels, bahks and churches that
make a town a town. With Its first
municipal administrator already
chosen, Mackenzie is expected to

have a population of at least 600||

by next fall. When the industry
is in full swing in their area,

‘woods workers and their families

could easily swell the population
to well over 5,000,

If dreams come true, plang pay
off, and enthusiasm matters, I
think Alexander Mackenzie would
approve of the results, And I don't
think he would mind that his town
was concelyed In a place called
Vancouver.
