Christmas trees

“Christmas tree sales
shave been excellent,” says
Nick Chernoff, a member of
the Rotary club.

. Rotary club trees went
‘on sale on Friday, Dec. 7. The
+ trees come all the way from

‘the Cranbrook area. Most of

i+them are Fir trees but there
‘~are a few pines on the lot as
-well.
. Chernoff said that, “we
+ expect that if it’s the same as '
‘last year all the trees will be
«sold by Dec. 23."

Money from sales goes

. towards Rotary Club proj-
cts such as tennis courts, |
=the senior citizens villa, help
for the handicapped and. fi-
jancial help for exchange
students,

Last years’ sales raised

$5000.

iE: This year the Rotary
‘club donated a tree to the

erating their lounge.

Women who’ attended
this month's luncheon meet-
ing of the Women's. Aglow
last Wednesday, received
some extra “treats.”

The theme was the birth
of Christ, and prophecies of
His birth were read from the
Bible,

The ladies were once
again blessed by Joan De
Graaf's ministry in, song, as
well as by several of Linda
Hall's renditions of her own
compositions. For the Rus-
sian-speaking friends, a trio,
Mary Drazdoff, Pearl An-
drosoff and Mary Fomenoff,
sang in Russian.

Proposes limited bussing

Local schoo! trustees are
currently studying a proposal

to pi in ext i-
cular activities.

The proposal was made
to the trustees by Mrs.
Shirley Lefurgey of Thrums,
in a letter to the School
Board on Oct. 10. Mrs.
Lefurgey suggested a late
bus run to the Tarrys-Shore-
acres area, where parents
must drive a considerable
distance to pick up children
who stay after school to par-
ticipate in school activities.

Mrs. Lefurgey’s letter
was referred to the trans-

T ive plans are now
being made to institute “late
bus" runs in January 1980.
Students would be picked up
at KJSS about 4:35 p.m. and
taken to SHSS where a
second bus would be pro-
vided.

One bus ‘would proceed
to South Castlegar, Blue-
and

other would drop students at
Robson Ferry, Brilliant
School, Brilliant crossing,
and two or three stops in
Tarrys.

Sei! would not dupli-
cate existing regular bus
runs and students would be
expected to make their own
way home from the drop
spots. Since all students are
of junior secondary age, or
older, this is felt to be a
reasonable expectation,

The service would be
initiated on a trial basis and
continued only as long as
student demand justified the

Postmaster offers
packaging tips.

With Christmas just’
around the corner, outgoing
parcel volumes in the Castle-

Police say that two bot-

A Castlegae man_ has
been charged with driving
without due care and at-
tention following a single
vehicle accident Saturday.

Kilback, 27, was charged
after his 1977 pickup left
Highway 22 approximately
seven miles south of Castle-
gar striking a ditch and
rolled.

He was taken to Castle-
gar and District Hospital
suffering head injuries. Dam-
age to the vehicle has been
estimated at $2,000.

ded paper.

“Popcorn is also a good
cushioning agent,” he said,
“and you can. nibble on it
while packing your parcels. It
is also a good idea to enclose
a slip of paper with the
address of the recipient and
your return address with the
gift.”

After the gift is securely
packed, Deans recommends
that the box be wrapped in
sturdy brown paper and
bound with a good qualty
tape. Special attention should
be paid to taping down the
paper edges which can catch
on other parcels and tear,

Large parcels should be
addressed on two sides with

discarded by local business-
es. Many. of these cartons
have the firm's address on
them and unless this address
has been obliterated the re-
packed parcel can wind up
being delivered to the firm.

Deans says his counter
staff is doing the best they
can to advise customers of
improper packing when they
receive parcels over the
counter.

“We are just as anxious
as our customers to see that
the parcels arrive at the
correct address, at the right
time and in good condition,”
Deans said. “Anyone wanting
information on the correct
way to pack gifts at Christ-
mas time or anytime of the
year can get it by asking at

the tree of righ not

that of Jesus Christ. We do’
not have a choice of family
tree'in the birth of our flesh,
she sald, but we do in the
birth of our spirit.

She was fortunate in
being born into a family
where there wasa lot of love;
was active in church; and felt
very righteous. But ‘all the
self-righteousness was ‘like
filthy raga without Jesus,

It took her father’s dying
from cancer, at which ‘time
there was much prayer,’ for
her to be born again.’ ‘Then
the hymns she had sung all
her life, and Bible stories she
had read, became alive.

She said that a tree is
known by its fruit: joy is love
laughing; peace, love resting;
gentleness, love accepting;
goodness, love working;
faith, love trusting; meek-
ness, love yielding; and tem-
perance, love overcoming.

Lewis expanded . on
these, saying one develops
faith by having to use it, and
thus grows in the Lord. One
needs the fruit of God's word
for one's spiritual nourish-

“ment, she said. .

Branches of a tree that
bears good fruit cannot be
grafted unto a tree that bears
bad fruit, and vise versa,

Dear Santa,

Please bring me an organ. I
would like it very much, so I
could learn to play. I will
leave you some cookies and

sugar for your reindeer. Do -

you have a big house? I guess
so with all those elves. I have
been a very good girl. I am so
anxious to open my presents.

T want the snow to come
very soon.

When Christmas comes I
stay inside. I think of Christ-
time. I saw

day. And I saw you Santh.

~Your friend,

Selkirk Forest Resources pein: 3
A Community Education Service

Forest engineering can
be divided into the following
major categories: forest
roads, bridges, culverts, log-
ging layout, logging systems,
and the cost analysis of each
item.

The role of forest engin-
eering is to investigate, an-
alyse, ‘and -plan the best
possible solution for an inte-
grated use of all forest
values, In this article, we will
look at examples of how a
forest engineer deals with
the above work categories.

A good forest road or
road system should be func-
tional, safe, and aesthetically
pleasing. There is an esti-
mated .6,400 kilometers of
forest road constructed each
year in British Columbia. In
addition, the reconstruction
of “old grades” could well add
another 2000 kilometers

‘yearly. This work is per-

formed by hundreds of forest
engineers and survey assist-
ants. Wee
-The first step taken to
locate a forest road is to
assemble all available data
including topographic maps,
forest cover maps, vertical
air photographs, ownership
maps, geological maps, soil
maps, resource folio maps,
the expected traffic volume,
the size of vehicles, the ex-
tent of public use, logging

ging systems to be used;

engineer selects the’’ road
location and surveys, the
location line. He may use‘a
number of .survey -instry-
ments such as a silva’ com-
pass, staff compass, clinom-
eter, aneroid, abnoy, precise
level, transit, steel chain ‘or
nylon chain, ete.

During the survey, there
are measurements taken to
enable the engineer to do a
road design and a construc-
tion cost estimate.

If the selected road in-
cludes a major stream cross-
ing, then the engineer has to
design a bridge. The bridge
must be big enough to allow
free passage for flood water
and strong enough to safely
carry loaded logging trucks
that may weigh as much as
100 tons. The most common
bridges are made -out of.
selected local logs for string-
ers: and sawn timbers for
bridge decking.

Prior to road construc-
tion, the engineer has to
assign and specify the nec-
essary culverts to allow
drainage for flood water. For
this purpose, ‘the engineer
studies the drainage area and
the weather characteristics.
Wf weather data is

viquire careful consideration in

ines ‘he wil ys th
weather history for the past
10 to 50 years.

The engineer will select
all the roads and landings and
will incorporate them into a

After careful study of
the above. information, ‘the
forest engineer will project,
on a work map, a route or
several routes that will be
ground inspected. This initial
ground investigation is re-
ferred to as Location Recce

most important. part of en-
