CASTLEGAR NEWS, June 7, 1981

Bill Waldie, named a a

Bill Waldie, of Castlegar,
has been chosen as a recip-
iont of the Fellowship of the
British Columbia Chamber of
Commerce award for this
year.

The award and a descrip-
tive plaque were presented
May 30 to Waldie during the
annual general, meeting of
the B.C. chamber of Com-
merce, in Victoria.

A maximum of five people
receive the honor of being
named a fellow in any one

year.

Waldie was involved and
very active with the chamber
movement in Castlegar from
its beginning in 1946, to 1977.

He was president of the’

Castlegar Chamber of Com-

merce in 1951, and president .

of Associated Board of Trade
and Commerce of Southeast-
ern British Columbia in 1956
and 1965.

In 1946, when Waldie was
firat involved in the chamber
of commerce, Castlegar wasa
small town, but in spite of
this, he managed to get a
group of 40 or more people
interested in developing a
more aggressive community.

The firat items of major
concern were to get a bank
and liquor store into Castle-

gar. Both items were accom-
Atished in a short period of
time.

The Castlegar airport was
also an early project of the
chamber. It publicized the.
idea of having the district
airport at this location, and it

came to be.

Early in the fifties, Castle-
gar joined the British Colum-
bia Chamber of Commerce -
and the Canadian Chainber of

mmerce.

Temporary

by the Royal Winnipeg Rifles

officers to receive temporary

rank reductions to qualify ig
free. 10-day... trij

Lt.-Col. Ron Werry, com-
manding officer of the unit,
said Friday his decision to
allow the rank reduction was
“overruled by senior head-
quarters units.”

Asa result, there will bea
new selection of officers and
soldiers to make the ex-
penses-paid trip, he said.

The unit was’ invited to
send a 21-man contingent —
comprised of one commis-
sioned officer and 20 non-
commissioned officers — to
form part of the guard lining
the procession route during
the July 29 wedding of Prince
Charles and Lady Diana
Spencer.

$19-a-second
cost of fuel

ST. JOHN'S, NFLD. (CP)
— While Air Canada presi-
dent Claude Taylor add-
ressed a St. John’s service
club about the industry, the
corporation burned up about
$29,000 worth of fuel.

Taylor's 20-minute speech
touched on excessive com-
petition In the aviation in-
dustry and what it could do
for fuel costs, rates and ser-
vice. .

Taylor says a $19-a-second
cost is well spent when the
planes are but, he
warned, if unbridled com-
petition were allowed, planes
would probably not be full for

with the news that the
Colanese Corporation of New
York was interested in creat-
ing a forest products indus-
try in our community, the
chamber immediately went
on record as being fully’ in
favor of welcoming this in-
dustris! development. It co-
operated completely with the
company’s early efforts and
in fact several members went
to Victoria at their own
expense to assure the gover-
nment that they desired to

seo this industry locate here. fy

The Chamber worked
diligently for about 10 years
to get the southern trans-
provincial Highway through
Castlegar. It participated,

along with Greenwood and.
Grand Forks, in a trek from’

Paulson to Kinnaird, to pub-
Ucize the feasibility of the
route. In the fall of the same
year members met with Phil
Gaglardi and discussed their
trek with him, and got assur-
ance that this route would be
carefully considered before
deciding the location of High-
way 8 between the Columbia
River and Christina Lake.

The chamber prodded the
government for 20 years to
get the section of highway
from Brilliant to Meadows
completed and in service. .

The chamber of commerce
has been a very useful organ-
ization for this area, and the
few accomplishments men-_
tioned are not the extent of
its usefullness,

‘ Waldie has worked long
and diligently for the cham-
ber movement in the area,
and was one of the chamber's
most valuable members.

Share with undeveloped

TORONTO (CP) — People
believe developed nations
should share in the problems
of undeveloped nations, al-
though they are less enthu-
siastic about providing aid
from their own countries, a
world-wide Gallup poll re-

rts.

The poll, released Thurs-
day at a meeting of the Gal-
lup International Research
Institutes, surveyed people's
attitudes in 11 countries, in-
eluding Canada.

‘+ Majorities in nine of the

countries supported the idea
that developed nations
should share in the problems
of the undeveloped.

Support was highest in
Ireland (82 per cent), the
Philippines (79 per cent),
Canada (76 per cent), and
Switzerland (74 per cent).
Majorities were also found in
Chile, the United States,
Great Britain, Argentina ‘and

ustria?

However, fewer ; ped
from théde hitions want ot

own country fo inerpase aid

to undeveloped nations.
Majorities in Ireland, Swit-
zerland and Canada sup-
ported their countries in-
creasing aid to undeveloped
nations, but majorities in

Britain (58 per cent) and
South Africa (54 per cent)
were aginst such an increase.

Majorities in Brazil and
South Africa did not support
the idea that developed coun-
tries‘ must share in the prob-
lems of the underdeveloped..:
