We came to Canada in 1949, The first six months of our contract, I worked for Gorkoff of Castlegar and the remaining six months I worked for John Holuboff, also of Castlegar. For Mr. Holuboff I worked in his bush. While working there I was not allowed to pass the bord- er line of his property. Next to him was the property of Mr, Wm. Zaitsoff, After’ I had completed my con- tract; I rented the place from William Zaitsoff. There I was a- bout 18.months. I was shown the limits of the property so that I wouldn’t go on the property of John Holuboff. Both .of. these farms are 240 acres each. The property of Mr, Zaitsoff was for sale and so we decided When the pay ts were almost d, the clear title I would have to buy Mr.. Holuboft’s interest since in the title which I recelved the border line is not stated, But I do not need the land of John 1 had to borrow from the bank in order to.pay the total'in time, I did not take this money out of the bank but I explained that this money should be given to Zaitsoff. I understood that in re- turn Zettsoff would provide, a clear title for 240 acres of land in my name, having the same border lines which. were shown me while I rented the place. Since I cannot speak English myself, my interpreter was my daughter who attends high school and whose English is fair. When I went to the bank to pay on the loan, I found it mark- ed in my bank book that the sum of $821 was taken out, The next day I discovered this was taken out in payment for the land but instead of receiving a clear title in my. name, there was was a title in John Holuboff’s name and Tolne for 480 acres of undivided jan . achool, is so obviqus and glaring that everyone must it. ~. q Undeed the high school was already filled to capacity the year it 3 pened.

The proposed addition weuld double the present high school k mecomodation, giving room for 700 students. This is certainly far qi from unreasonable as the present rate of growth will bring high : : school enrolment to more than that figure in another six years. ‘This is, as, has been pointed out, without the slightest allowance Mor the school population growth the-Celgar Development Co, pro- ¥ect may bring. : Im view of all these things anyone who ‘votes against the by- Haw om Dee, 10, cannot be much d about the welfare of the district.

The money is: paid but there is no clear title for the land which I bought, To make matters worse, I have found trees cut down on the pro- perty that I beleive I have paid for, I have been told to get out and go back where I came from, T have been threatened that since they didn't kill me in Europe. I will be killed here. We only want to live peace» saly and be left alone. But since I can't speak English, there are’ people who do with us. as they please, And now, after Mr. Holuboff and myself could not agree how matter has been taken to court and the verdict is that I.have to buy the land of John Holuboft. If not, then he should buy: mine. , The court valued my land at$2,- 000 and I paid $3500. I don’t want to buy Holuboff's land and I don't want to sell mine. Tt is a situation 1 cannot un- derstand and I don’t know, what is to become of me and my family. Yours sincerely Signed (Leon Karzanieveski). Ay ELIE’S AUTO COURT Vully Modern.
