Early Survey
Uppermost

The Castlegar Bridge commit-
tee executive met on Tuesday
and discussed the public meet-
ing held last week and dccided
to write follow-up letters to the
local organizations affiliated
with the committee to keep the
“bombard - Victoria-with-letters”
campaign going strong. A re-
port was given on the results
of this campaign to date and
it was learned that a few or-
ganizations have not yet writ-
ten to Victoria. The delay oc-
casioned by tie change over of
the ferry engine was also dis-
cussed and it was decided to

draw the matter to the attention
of the Minister of Public Works.
- It was decided, in view of the
favorable 17suits obtcined from
the requests for a bric¢ge sur-
vey, that the commiltee will
press for an early survey and
an early start on construction.

P.T.A.

Eight members attended the
S. H. P. T. A. executive meeting
on Monday night at the high
school with Mrs. R. . Marshall
presiding.

A panel discussion was plann-

ed for the next general meeting’

on March 31. “Is Our Education
Providing Sufficient Training in
Citizenship?” was the topic se-
lected. Those taking part in the
discussion will include a parent,
a business man, a member of a
local service club, a teacher and
a student.

Mrs. D. Campbell was elected
to represent the P. T. A. at the
annual meeting of the Projects
Society.

Final details of the Variety
concert were completed. These

“..~ It did seem like a big jwmp—this move to Prince Rupert. Frankly I didn’t know
what to expect. But really, Jean, things have worked out wonderfully for us.”

Secs s First thing, of course, is Art’s job at the plant. He’s crazy about it

and I must say it’s bringing in a bigger pay cheque than either of us had ever

seen before. Then there’s free insurance for both of us—and the children too. Not
just accident insurance, but Life and Sickness and all the rest—everything

you can think of in fact with no strings attached. That's a big help,’ .

not having to worry about Billy and Shirley if they get sick or anything."

“, .. But what Art likes particularly about the job is its security and advancement
opportunities. You see, the Cellulose Company is running a full time *
operation up here. That means we can plan ahead from year to year without that
awful uncertainty of layoffs er shutdowns. By this time next year we hope to have
our own home and be able to call ourselves real Prince Rupertites—or whatever

the name is. Everyone’s been so helpful and we’ve made quite a few close friends already.”

“, .. Knowing Art, youll probably laugh but the Big Lug is
even taking a correspondence course in plant management. That’s
another thing the Company helps out with.’ '

“. .. Oh! Oh! That sounds like my guy at the door. No more for now .. .”’

Columbia Cellulose Company is the first unit of a rapidly expanding Canadian industrial organization.
Within a few months, this organisation will be combining timber from British Columbia

with natural gas derivatives from Alberta to produce a wide range of fibres and other acetate
products for Canadians from coast to coast. Our program of continuous forest yield

ensures lasting full-time employment for thousands of Canadian workers.

that in this par

such a deal is

simply taking from pocket

thereby whatever yhere

We seriously recommend
the villagers that this a
“land trade,” be given
ful consideration and if ration-
ally studied, may be realized as
far more advantageous to the
Village of Castlegar than to the
Castlegar Co-operative ‘Tians-
portation Society.

And so, by printing tais rather
lengthy explanation, we hope
that ali misunderstandings may
be erased; and that by looking
ahead rather than behind,~ the
villagers may decide wuai is best
for the future of the community.

Yours most sincerely,

Secretary-Treasurer.
