recetved from Frank Calder, to be used

FLYING VISITORS TO CASSIAR! as a press release,
X am DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRIC POWER AT DEASE

\ _ LAKE AND DISTRICT.

Mr. Redel, the Director of Lands, has
contacted Mr. McLellan, the B.C. Hydro
representative at Prince Rupert, to as-
certain what plans B.C. Hydro may have for
extending their services to the Dease Lake
area. Mr. Redel said that advice was re-
ceived from Mr. McLellan that following a
survey of the area, he was recommending to
his superiors that Hydro consider extending
their services to Dease Lake, Telegraph

‘Creek, and a mining establishment in the
general area.

Further information is that on May 23rd
Mr. Redel reviewed this matter with the
Honourable R.A. Williams, the Minister of
Lands, Forests, and Water Resources, and
that from this meeting, the Department is
not prepared to encourage the supply of
power by any private individual or corp-
oration at this time, but rather the B.C.
Hydro will, undoubtedly, move into the area
in the near future, and that the B.C.

Hydro Board will review the whole situation
at its next meeting.

Trusting that this may bring you up to
date in the matter of power distribution
in the area,

ee Frank Calder,
“y Minister Without Portfolio.

During the week-end of June 23rd and
24th you may have noticed a couple of
small aircraft flying in and about Cassiar.
The planes pilots are members of the
Powell River Flying Club, who are on
vacation touring Northern British Columbia
and the Yukon.

This was their 3rd Fly-in to Cassiar
in the past three years, |

From Cassiar they hoped to next visit
Atlin, then on to Dawson City for a short
stay to take in the history of the area,
They then planned (weather permitting) to
head on south and back home,

We sincerely hope that they suceed with
all their travels and we are looking
forward to their annual return next year.
