By DON HARVEY
Aldermante candidates in the Nov.

out frankly Tuesday night on where
they stand on the referendum issue.
A small crowd at the. all-candi-°
dates’ forum at Stanley Humphries
Secondary School learned that four of
the nine are against the $2-million
borrowing bylaw, four are in favor‘and
one — Harold Leslie — is undecided.
The, four who want: to’ see the
proposed city hall-library-court house
become a, reality quickly are: incum-
bent Len Embree and Marilyn Mathie- .
son, who are each seeking one of the.
three two-year term vacancies, Rich-
ard Hallett and Ingeborg Thor-Larsen,
who are vying for the one-year seat.
Opposed are: Jim ‘Gouk, Carl
Loeblich and George Rilkoff, who are
seeking two-year terms, and -Carl
Henne, who's after the one-year spot,
Each of the nine aldermanic hope-
fuls and seven School District No. 9
aspirants were given three minutes to
introduce themselves, sketch, . their
qualifications and indicate what they'd
hope to accomplish, if elected. An
eighth candidate — Fred Merriman of
Area J — was unable, to attend the
forum because of the death of his father
in Vancouver.

The map, financed through adver- °

tising sales,. will consist of .a com-
prehensive street guide locating points
of interest, schools, parks, special
attractions, recreation facilities and

Fifteen. thousand copies will be
printed and distributed yearly through

The map will also form a major.

Bosse said the chamber feels the

depending on the nature of their

‘Scotches.

A Senior ‘vice-president of Can-

adian Cellulose Co, Ltd. has scotched

rumors that the company has already
decided whether to expand its pulp
operations in Castlegar or build a
second mill here.

Roy Murphy, in charge: of oper-
ations for CanCel at company head-

quarters in Vancouver, said today “no -

decision” has been made yet.

~ Rumors were circulating in the
city recently that CanCel had already
made up its corporate mind. They
followed a published report quoting
presiderit Don Watson as saying in
Nelson that the company was eying the
possibility of building a “green field”
mill on property north of the sawmill as
an alternative to the expected $350-
million expansion of its pulp mill.

While ‘engineering’ studies” have -

been completed on the expansion
proposal, officials are still working out
the financial implications and aren't

Canadians watched half the people

of the United States elect a president

Tuesday night.— an exercise in the

electoral process that couldn't happen
here. -

* US. voters were still marking

ballots west of the Contiriental Divide

‘ while eastern-based radio and tele-

vision commentators were reporting
that Ronald Reagan had swept. to
power jn an unexpected landslide.

It was nesring bedtime in New-
foundland and dinnertime in British
Columbia when the major networks
conceded the upset to the former movie
actor ‘over Jimmy Carter, the incum-

. bent president from Georgia.

Voters from Illinois west returned
from the polling booths to find that —
not only had. Reagan won, but that,
with their votes still uncounted, speeu-
lation was beginning on TV as to who
‘was likely to serve in his cabinet.

the White House but on the outcome of

‘voting for.the Senate, House of Rep-

legislatures. .

future role with half thé country still
voting.

‘He was telling interviewer Bar-

audience, that he thought he could
“serve best” as someone. available for
specific diplomatic projects rather than
as a rovirig, full-time ambassador as

had been suggested.

Voters were still lined up outside
booths across half the U.S. as experts

on TV and radio were conceding that

the Iranian hostage situation, with
attendant publicity of its first anni-
versary, had done Carter in.

Other experts were predicting

that the Reagan victory meant “tax
cuts and spending cuts and more
money spent on war — an anti-inflation

For the most part, Canadian tele-
vision networks carried on with their
regular programming of situation.
comedy, rock music, soap operas, and a"
documentary on the trials and tribu-
lations of Canadian quarterback Jamie
Bone and his fight with the Canadian
Football Leage.

By the time the CTV network got
heavily into the U.S. election it was 6
p.m. PST and they opened with a pic-

. ture of Reagan pulling away in a ear.

"You are: looking at the next
president of the United States ..

The U.S. election, which has been
called as a tight race in all the public
