'"The power company, undoubtedly, has its critics and there may be more or less just grievances against the company. Yet to blindly vote it out of business and stake our future power chances on an open and unqualified bid 'to the British Columbia Power Commission might well be a premature and ill-considered proposition. Even if wo .-.re not altogether satisfied with what we have got, there is no need to recklessly tie ourselves up to a quick decision at this time, the consequences of which we have little, if any, capability of estimating. Maybe the power company has not delivered the goods as effectively and as promptly on occasion as we would have liked, but we can think of such things as water, telephones, streets, sidewalks and other services whose record may not have been as good even as that of the power company. We have another week, fortunately, to cogitate on the matter and that will give us the opportunity to look before we leap. We are suggesting that it would be well to forget for the moment whether or not we like the power company, its works arid its record, the merits of which can more effectively be judged when there is a clearer issue on the matter. We should remember that the referendum, if voted in the affirmative, would not only be in the nature of a dismissal to the power company but a definite -37 A in LETTERBOX G CR'iSUY Volume I and II.

This, we suggest, is too serious a business to be carried off our feet without the fullest and most careful consideration. Even if the company is unworthy, it is much to be doubted if this is the time to tell the power company it is through and, further than that, shut the door to bargaining with any organization but one. Of course, it is a rare question to which there are not two sides but, frankly, we have yet to hear any very cogent or solid reasons to even justify the presentation of this referendum, let alone to vote a "yes" answer thereto. iea nt with AuntMaihc h- ii ii t- w . ; II X jJ s-l Jl 1 II II our B.C. football team might M,ae Irom tne ta-t tnat we be "Salmon Bellies."
