Castlegar Kinnaird CASTLE EWS Robson Brilliant Published Every Thursday at “The Crossroads of the Kootenays” VOL. 5 No.’ 13 } / CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA,THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1952 5 Cents Per Copy STEEL SHORTAGE MAY HOLD UP CELGAR DEVELOPMENT EDGEWOOD, B. C. At a well-attended meeting in Edge- a very interesting report on his meeting with the minister and officials of the provincial depart- ment of lands in Victoria on March 11-12. Many Celgar of- ficials were also in attendance. He had taken up the matter of extension of existing timber sal- es within the Forest Mana wood recently, Ed Shields gave - “following resolution: in this time.. ; The meeting then passed the “Resolved by this representa- tive meeting of loggers, business men and other interested parties of the Edgewood and Needles districts, that Celgar Develop- ment Corporation be granted the Forestry Management License as applied for, providing that Cel- Bar agrees to comme: their Area as applied for by Celgar. Celgar officials, in the presence of the minister, stated that rea- sonable extensions would be granted any operators so Situat- ed, if they were granted the man- agement license. Mr. Shield then told the meet- ing that Celgar had stated they would not be undertaking much work for two years due to steel shortages for the mill, and could not give any assurance that they would undertake any extensive forestry development work with- forestry ‘operations within the area within one year of the granting of said license and that such forestry devélop- ment operations continue until such time as their pulp mill is in full operation.” It was felt that management areas should be developed in somewhat similar manner to that in which mineral claims are de- veloped until such time as” the mill is operating. The develop- ment should be in a direct ratio to the size of the area and not just taken development. P.T.A. CONCERT DREW CAPACITY CROWD Friday night in the high school auditorium, the S. H. P.T.A. pre- sented a variety concert — the first major project undertaken by this organization. The job of M.C. for the evening was in the capable hands of R. Cail whose comments and_ asides brought interest and humor to the concert. The eight different groups played to a well filled house and were exceptionally well received. The Legion Band under the leadership of G. Leitner, opened the program, filled in during the scenery changes and held a prominent part in the concert as well. Their appropriate and timely “Irish Medley” was very well done. The ‘Grade 7 Mixed Choir directed by R. W. Graham took the audience back to the days of pirates and sailing vessels, The four numbers so ably rend- ered were made even more real- istic by the costumes and ac- tions of the members. Four of Mrs. K. Andreachuk’s dancing pupils, Gayle MacPher- son, Jeannette King, Jimmy Smith and Alan Robertson took part in a Scotch dance. All wore the traditional Scotch kilt and everyone wished there was time for an encore. The Kiwanis Male Choir, directed by R. E. Sommers, sang two numbers. This is good fes- tival material and we can ex- pect to hear more of them in the near future. Next on, the program came the Kinnaird Folk Dancing Group giving a demonstration of square dancing. Fast and furious were the steps and they never missed a beat. ‘Park your lady in an easy chair” is a most appropri- ate ending to this strenuous dance. Taking part were: Elaine Roberton, Carol Sorensen, Car- olyn Hardy, Joan Johnson, John- nie Marshall, Johnnie Sorenson, Mervyn Marcellus and Leonard Kuryluk. The S. H. Tumbling Club or- ganized this year, gave its in- itial performance at this concert. Their precision and daring had the audience sitting on the edge of their chairs. Members of the club include: Marion Maldidier, Mildred Marcellus, Joan Bergen, Muriel Scott, Sharel Martel, Irene Marshall, Francis Mag- wood, Babs Killough, Lorraine Schuepfer, Ann Henderson, Ne!l- son Newlove, Arthur Bergen, Clifford Pfeiffer. The Irish jig was danced by little Gayle MacPherson and Jeannette King wearing cute Irish green costumes. Then came the S.H. Senior Girls’ Dancing Group instructed ~ by Miss B. Ball doing an inter- pretive dance to the tune of “Shortenin’ Bread.” In the band selections was also included a solo by G. Leit- ner — “The End of a Perfect Day,” as well as one by R. W. Graham, “My Rosary,” with the remainder of the band accom- panying — very well done. Last on the program was a one-act comedy “Heaven on Earth” by P. Johnson, presented by the Robson Drama _ Group. Taking the romantic lead was Miss Shirley Berry, a very busy person throughout the concert; accompanying other numbers on the piano-— taking part in the Black Face Interpretive Dance and then a quick change and a clean face for the play. Mrs. H. Johnson played Shirley's mother. Her natural manner helped to make the play a great success. F.- Humphries—the ex- huberant, freedom-loving, nature boy was exceptionally good as was N. Hay as Shirley’s father. The stage looked especially nice with the Biltwell chester- field and chair suite loaned by Kerr’s store for the concert. The program ended with the Legion Band playing “God Save the Queen,” and _ coffee and lunch was served in the school library by the P.T.A. executive to those taking part.
