TERRACE,
March
2G-At
a
-general
meeting
of
the
Kitsumkalum
Farmers'
Institute,
the
members
discussed
the
post-war
projects
most
likely
to
concern
them.
Foremost
among
these
was
electrical
development
for
rural
areas.
After
a
full
discussion
the
following
resolution
was
passed:
"Whereas
our
provincial
gov
eminent
Is
planning
on
extending
to
rural
areas
the
benefits
of
electric
light
and.
power
and
"Whereas

and
"Therefore

It
resolved
that
we
petition
the
government
or
British
Columbia
to
undertake
as
a
public
owned
utility
the
hydro-elcctrlc
development
necessary
to
furnish
all
communities
adjacent
to
the
Canadian

with

and
Jasper
to
provide
the'
volume
of
con
sumption
necessary
to
warrant
the
proposed
hydro-electric
de
velopment."
Some
discussion
arose
on
the
proposed
development,
It
being
pointed
out
that
even
were
hydro-electric
plants
established
it
was
usually
found
necessary
to
erect
steam
or
diesei
emergency
plants
and
that,
If
these
alone
were
built,
they
could
take
care
of
all
the
needs
of
the
com
munities.
However,
it
was
