Millionaire's Life For Everyone Here Prince George people "Enjoy recreational facilities only millionaires can afford" among people living in many other parts of Canada, Northern Affairs Minister Alvin Hamilton told a noon luncheon of the local board of trade yesterday. He urged the board of traders not to neglect in any way the tourist industry. It bus become Canada's biggest dollar earner, next to wheat, anil "work must never cease" to promote tourism, he said. In this respect, cities like Prince George "represent something that is hard to match."' Hamilon said: "We have a real job to do in Canada" promoting the tourist industry to the fullest. Turning to the lumber industry he said il is "facing a very serious challenge" in world markets but this competition, "bad enough" as it might Ik; now, will get, tougher. Better products and more efficient operations will help win the battle but research will be the key, id Hamilton. He extended what he said was "formal invitation," through the board of trade, to local lumbermen to visit the forest products research laboratory at the University of British Columbia to see what is being done to further the uses and values of wood products. He said the standard and quality of wood must be steadily improved if the forest industry is to face the challenge presented on tough world markets and the challenge of substitute products. He said experiments towards bettor wood preservation will help to overcome the latter. Forest research is a "matter of survival fur Prince George ami other towns like it," said the federal cabinet minister. Hamilton forecast a rosy future Cor I his area and warned board of trade people to make the most of the district's resources and tourist industries/ National Resources, told The Citizen here yesterday that he expects such a recommendation from the International Joint I Commission studying power de-1 velopment of the river in B.C. The minister said he believes | "a satisfactory deal for all parties concerned" could come out of the recommendation. The federal government, the Ii.C. government and the Americans have been negotiating for some lime over development of the Columbia, with the matter of "downstream benefits" being the major hone of contention. There are about 15 dams on the river on the U.S. side of the border and an even flow of water that would be created by proposed power dams in benefits but just how much benefit should be returned to this country is something which has not been decided. Hamilton had no comment to make on any possible conflict between development of the Columbia River and the planned Wenner-Qren development of the Peace Riverat Hudson Hope. He said it is "up tv) the people of U.I', to look at the economics involved" in the two developments and decide for themselves. The federal government is not directly concerned with either development but is merely interested in seeing that this province gets a fair shake, he said. The minister commented that there always seems to be a demand for power. Sea Cadets Weigh.
