Parks commissioner Gordon Pettitt gave 1 report on his nt- tendence at a recent Project Society meeting which he said was very poorly attended. ... A lengthly discussion took Place on the matter of the rink, which has reached an apparent standstill, Mr. Pettitt said the greatest job is to “sell” the idea of the rink to the people. He had in- formed the Projects Society that the village could not take over the rink until completed and he did not know of any means by which the village could levy a tax on the ratepayers to raise funds, His opinion was that if everyone contributed a small amount regularly it would be more advantages than spasmodic larger sums, Mr. Oglow sald a “tremen- dous amount of money and effort had gone into the rink”, There should be some way to get it going." Council felt if the building could be used during the sum- mer also people would be more interested. Mr. Maddocks said he thought the village could do one of two things, either take the rink over completely, or have nothing to do with it, as the village cannot make outright grants to such an enterprize. Tt was suggested by chair- man Oglow that Kinnaird coun- cil be sontacted on the matter as e tink is of interest Runnels citizens also; 4 Castlegar Commission News board members had received the Plans for park development fav- orably and he hoped to get the boundaries staked ‘out and the eement wall footings poured so the walls could be put in, Council will proceed to ob- tain ‘grade level data along the Jane boundaries and have the line staked out, Mr. Pettitt felt the job should be done as soon as pos- sible as there has already been some delay in getting the park Plans excuted.

DEC. 32, 1954 Doukhobor Land Discussed At Meet Disposal of Doukhobor land came up for discussion at Tues- day night’s meeting of the As- sociated Boards’ special commit- tee on the Doukhobor situation. Arthur E, Lord’s fourth in- terim report on the Doukhobor Lands Allotment Inquiry Act was read to the meeting by the committee's secretary, In his report, Mr, Lord said he felt 60 per cent of the ap- praised value of the land as set out in the Drewry Apprals- al Report, “would be a just and equitable offering, and would take into account cer- tain historical claims of the BDoukhobors.” W. T. Waldie said “wouldn't it appear fair to say the interest to purchase this land isn’t what it would be expected to be.” He said he argued for years the Doukhobors would buy it. “Now its priced fairly and they aren’t buying it”. John . Veregin explained: to the committee and guests .why the Doukhobor people haven't yet purchased the land in great numbers, Mr. Veregin said that “people have .toiled on the land, some less, some more — How do you divide it in a Christian manner?” He said it takes time to work out a plan which the people will accept. He said the forma- tion of such a plan has been hampered by a basis of leader- IWA Gontract Taiks Have Broken Down Contract negotiations be- tween the ‘Wood- ship which has not been con- CAS _ Published Every Thursday at “The Crossroads of the Kootenays" FEGAR NEWS VOL. 11, No, 28 -”.

Veregin the second died, he declared Peter Veregin the third, who was living in Russia, as leader, Mr, Veregin said it ‘was “only last fall that we had any indica- tion that he (Peter 111) may have died." He said the orthodox Doukhobors are still trying to obtain a certificate of death for Peter the third, Mr. Veregin said the basis of leadership and the unity of the Doukhobor people would be formed when confirmation of the life or death of Peter the third is obtained, ‘ Mr. Veregin said he had re- ceived notification of the death of Peter the third from the In- ternational Red Cross, “What better source could there be?” asked Dr. Wright, Mr. Veregin said his people still want a certificate of death and a knowledge of the circum- stances leading to Peter the third’s death. He said all they have so far is the date, ‘Turning to the ‘subject of Jand and terrorism, Mr,’ Veregin said “Frankly I don’t *see the point of not ‘dealing with ter- rorists.” He said his people want to: know what's going to happen if they purchase land, “Are they ‘going to toil only to see it go up in smoke?” he tasked, He recalled that at one time| no insurance company “would take the risk” of insuring Douk- (continued on page eight) workers of -America and the Southern Interior Lumber Op- efators have broken down. “J.
