The British Columbia Cen- tennial Committee, in an effort to assist local committees to gather material, has inserted an advertisement in this issue of The Castlegar News asking all B.C, old-time residents to com- municate with their home: town. In addition to aiding in. the compilation of community histor- jes, the information sent in is expected to be useful in publi- eizing the Centenary locally, helping to keep interest high. “If many of the pioneers will just send in the date and place of their birth (or ‘the first place in which they resided) the re- sult, will be very helpful to those writing histories,” said B.C. Cen- tennial Chairman, L. J. Wallace, “and early-day stories and an- ecdotes will be very welcome.” “The suggestion that a soli- citation of material be carried out on @ province-wide scale was the original idea of one of the local centennial committees,” Mr. Wal- lace sald. “Since all local com- mittees. have the same need, a mass appeal is the simplest one, and we are hoping for an excel- lent response.” “Replies should not.be sent to the B.C. Centennial Commit- tee at Victoria,” Mr. Wallace pointed out, “but directly to the local committee in your home- town.” The advertisement, which carries a form coupon, is publish- ed on page 5. 2. . .
