At present this facility will house _ basketball, volleyball, badminton, gymnastics, squash courts, boxing and: wrestling, Not just for the students but for the community as a whole if they take advantage of it. ‘he sad part of this accomplishment 1s. that for approximately the same money and the. cooperation ‘ ofthe community a complete centre including a 50 meter. pool, an arena, . the present ‘planned necessary in the future, The facilities would get providing for all interests; 1, cultural use as they would be available during the week for the students of the school and in the evenings and on holidays for anyone who wanted to use them, There would be room to host the. conventions that the business .community has said are going elsewhere because of lack of local facilities and for those people interested in music and drama there would be a place to learn or to teach these arts and skills, Physical education is no longer a class for the natural athletes and physical fitness is not a state of those under. 20 years of age.

Grants available right now that could be applied for to construct this centre are: Winter Capital) Projects Fund which will provide 97.3 million dollars to be loaned to municipalities to enable them to undertake capital projects plan- ned for construction between December 1972 and June 1975. A total of $26.1 million is available for the projects to be constructed by March 31, 1974, and an’additional $11.2 million ‘for the period April 1, 1974 to May 31, 1975, There is an incentive providing for forgive- ness of the loan to an amount equal to 60 per cent’ of total on-site labor costs incurred up to” May “31, 1975, and to encourage construction during the winter months a further ‘ incentive allows for forgiveness of an additional 50 per cent of direct ‘on-site labor " costs between’ December ‘1 to May Capital Development Pro- ject will be interpreted to mean any work or works that provide long term benefits such as buildings, parks and recreation facilities. y Selkirk meets ‘all the existing standards to qualify for such loans and grants and it would be in the interest of the community to take full advan- tage of all such funding as is available now through the provincial and federal’ govern- ments.

This event will be either in April or May depending on the completion of the work and at what time the members of the provincial board can attend, Tea money was _ raised from 16 cents to 25 cents. Get well cards have been sent to members and several visits made to hospital ‘and homes. Some of the members would like to see tables set up for them to sit around during the meetings. At the close of the meeting bingo was played. On April 4 the Harmony- Friendship Unit of the United Church Women will entertain the members. In the spring there will be trips arranged for tours of the B.C. Hydro’ Canal Project. These will probably be both on weekends and during week- days.

Oceanic birds, which lay their eggs on bare, rocky ledges high above the water, lay eggs to suit’ “the. surroundings. Instead of round eggs which would roll off and be smashed, they lay eggs which are broad at one end and sharply pointed at the other, like a top. Because of this shape they roll in‘a small, tight circle. PETTITT PHOTOS See the New SPOTO- MATIC ape with Full.
