THE
STORY
goes
back
to

A

To

IN

BOOTHS
throughout
the
province
I
today
thousands
of
British
Columbians
are
writing
their
future
in
numbers.
When
their
ciphers
are
(sifted
through
the
machinery
of
the
alternative
vote,
a
government
will
be
elected
to
.
assume
direction
of
our
affairs
in
a
period
which
many
anticipate
will
be
a
difficult
one.
.
Although
B.C.
is
prosperous
and
has
been
the
fuibjeet
of
much
enthusiastic
outside
comment,
the
task
of
the
incoming
government
is
not
going
to
be
an
easy
one.
On
the
other
side
of
the
ledger
are
climbing
costs,
narrowing
markets
and
reduced
production.
There
is
no
better
example
of
this
than
the
case
of
the
lumber
and
fishing
industries.
These
are
problems
which,
influenced
by
world
conditions,
are
beyond
the
power
of
a
provincial
government
to
solve.
Yet
this
same
government
must
deal
with
the
effect
and
somehow
remove
its
sting.
If
it
is
unsuccessful,
it
will
lose
public
support,
no
matter
how
blameless.
Perhaps
it
would
be
politically
wise,
therefore,
to
let
the
other
fellow'
have
control
at
this
particular
stage
of
the
game.
Yet
the
chances
of
success
offer
a
challenge
that
cannot
be
turned
aside.
For
a
prolonged
period
now,
B.C.
has
suffered
from
lack
of
political
stability.
From
that
point
of
view
the
next
government
has
everything
to
gain.
The
public
is
so
weary
of
uncertainty
that
it
is
unlikely
any
party
will
court
another
quick
election.
For
this
reason,
whichever
one
is
in
power
should
feel
some
assurance
that
it
can
act
decisively
without
constant
concern
for
political
niceties.
Rut
a
more
solid
consideration
is
the
fact
that
B.C.
has
too
many
things
that
the
world
needs
to
be
deterred
for
any
extended
period
of
time.
