Attention: Cyril
Castlegar News,

Memo from: Village {anthers of
Castlegar.

Subject: Number of residents
and residences in Castlegar and
amount of water they use.

Popoff and

Two weeks ago the Castlegar].

News quoted village commissioners
as saying that village residents use
4,000 gallons of water per hour dur-
ing the night and that this aver-
ages out to seven gallons per resi-
dent.

‘This news story resulted in Cy-
ril Popoff writing the Castlegar
Nows about the ‘"Rithmetic” used.
Four thousand gallons per hour di-
vided by seven gallons, wrote Mr.
Popoff, works out to a population
for Castlegar of 571.4 persons,

At council's last meeting com-
missionera pointed out. that the
press had misquoted them, They
had not sald that the 4,000 gallons
averages out to seven gallons per
resident, but to seven gallons per
residence, :

Thus, say commissioners, their
figures were ‘very accurate” since

. the number of residences In-Castle-
gar is estimated at 573, The num-
ber of residents, on the other hand,
1s about 2,000.

the marching on of the colors. Ad-
dresses of welcome were given by
Mrs, Dobson, division commissioner,
and Mra, Holmes, provincial com-
migsioner. Mrs. Bishop, public re-
lations, spoke of the value of good
public relations to the movement.
B.C, is o leader in this field.

‘To create a good public image,
emphgsis should be placed on ser-
vice to the comimunity. Stress should
be placed on the law and promise,

ding jis ‘epectal, efforts should be
made. to select leaders with 8 good

Mrs, Thompson, provincial camp

they are received,

Mrs, Crawford spoke on Lone

to join a regular Guide Company.
‘There are 65 in B.C., six companies
and one Ranger company.

Theyre are eight’ or nine Lone
Guides in the Arrow Lakes area,
Mrs, MacBain recommended as a
service project that local companies
or Associations could help a Lone
Guide to go to camp.

In 1909 ‘11 girls showed up, un-
invited, at Boden-Powell’s Crystal
Palace rally to ask to be allowed
to be scouts, One of these, a jolly
