K EDITORIAL Truth is told Mr Davie Fulton leader of the HC Conserv Conservative � ative party is to be congratulated for his fearless fearlessness � ness and forthrightness at his Prince George meeting Thursday night Mr Fulton said his party if returned to power would postpone the Peace Hivcr project because It cannot produce power for IiC as cheaply as the Columbia The proprietors of this newspaper cannot be accused of bins in opposing the Peace Hivcr de development � velopment because they have as much at stake as any other group in the development of North Central HC In many editorials we have established and no one including the Bennett government has tried to prove us wrong that the Peace River scheme could bankrupt this province and would contribute little to the development of North Central HC The Dennett government itself is on record as saying Peace Hivcr power will not be available to Prince George or any part of this area The best that can be expected from Peace construction is a relatively small employment of construction workers during the building period From then on a handful of technical people could operate the whole undertaking The GOO mile direct transmission system to the main market the Lower Mainland makes it certain HC will be saddled witli high cost power under the Dennett program while the bulk of cheap Columbia power would be sold to power users in the United States This newspaper will have more to say in due course rcgaiding the machinations of the Dennett government the Public Utilities Commission the Hydro Authority and other government offshoots on this vital question of power policy We also will deal with other matters which must be thoroughly aired during the current election campaign Meanwhile we again congratulate Mr Fulton for telling the trutli to people who have been more misled by Dennetts misrepresentations than those in any other part of DC At Beast 62 meet death in weekend accidents By The
