Home Goods Furniture Warehouse

Expanding and growing
is an essential part of almost
every business, and the Le-
Rose family, who began with
a small butcher shop at the
turn of the century, are
intent on following that philo-
sophy.

The family business be-
gan in Trail in 1913 when
Bruno LeRose opened a small
meat market on Rossland
Avenue. From there, the
business has diversified and
advanced to become one of
the largest furniture outlets
in B.C., according to Ernest
LeRose, Bruno's son,

“My father died when I
was 16, and I like to think of
him as the founder'of our
business,” said Ernest. “He
came to Canada as an immi-
grant from Italy to work with
the CPR in 1907, and at that
time, North America was
considered the ‘promised
Jand' by most Europeans.”

“My father was elected
mayor of Trail in 1932, and 1
am told he was the first
Italian-born mayor in Cana-
- da,” LeRose said proudly,

on Rossland avenue because
we needed larger facililies

and our three warehouses jij

located in different sections
of Trail made the operation
awkward."

Asa result, the LeRoses
purchased property on the
former site of Carefree travel
trailer factory at’ China
Creek, because as Ernest put
it, “the building was large
and immediately available.”

The structure provides
35,000 square. feet, all of
which is filled with a variety
of furniture, appliances and
carpets, said LeRose.

“The size here gives us
the opportunity to reduce our
warehouse concerns, and in-
crease our display space,
which we are still develop-
ing.”

Although born and
raiied in Trail, LeRose said
he had no qualms about
moving his business to its
new location.

“I always felt close to
other communities, Slocan,
Rossland, Kaslo, Fruitvale
.-..T related to the area as
an indivi and as a busi-

The lly start-
ed by his father provided the
base for several different
ventures, which for the most
part have been situated on
Rossland Avenue spanning a
period of over 50 years.

Ernest and brother Geno
became involved to some
extent with furniture when
they purchased Webster's
Hardware in Trail. In addi-
tion to dealing with hard-
ware, the LeRoses also sold
appliances,

That interest led to the
establishment of the first
Homegoods furniture store in
1953. Originally the store had
only 1,000 square feet, said
Ernest, and then in 1957 a
second floor was built in-
creasing the area to 5,000
square feet.

After over 20 years of
serving people from the
Homegoods location on Ross-
land Avenue, LeRose said he
felt it was time for a change.

“We sold the property

nessman, and 1 have always
thought in a wider concept of
service to the area.”

"I also have friends in
various communities, and
thinking in those terms has
helped me as a businessman
in communicating with these
areas through the media.”

LeRose revealed that he
has delivered goods to people
in Revelstoke, Kelowna, Pen-
ticton, Creston, Cranbrook
and Fernie since moving to
the China Creek location.

‘How Now’ at Morris School -

A new exhibition, from
the extension department of
the Vancouver Art Gallery
will be on display in the
Morrish School gym in East
Trail the evening of Oct. 30.

The 20 works of the ex-
hibition, titled “How Now,"
will be available for school
classes the following day.
Vancouver ‘Art Gallery rep-
resentative Greg Bellerby
will be on hand for both the
public and the school show-
ings to explain the works and
answer questions.

A Vancouver. Art Gal-
lery reort notes that the
domestic animal, since pre-
historic times, has figured
prominently in the history of
art. This exhibition ‘of paint-
ings, watercolors, prints and
engravings illustrates. how
cattle have been depicted by

artists in the past three cen: -

turies.

“All of these
were provided at no extra
charge to the customer, and
in addition we provide full
set-up service of the furni-
ture in the homes.”

The business started
with a staff of three, present-
ly operates with nine and
plans are to increase staff
shortly to eleven.. The Le-
Rose business is expanding
and growing, and according
to Ernest, sales are better
than ever.

B.C.’s hot springs

no threat

Although British Colum-
bia's famous hot springs are

to health

stantly monitors and mea-
sures radioactivity in the en-
in the province's

mildly they pose
no threat to health, says the
ministry of health,

Visited by thousands of
tourists and local residents
each year, the springs consist
of natural supplies of hot
water, created by geother-
mal energy deep under-
ground,

“Such natural ‘hot baths’
exist all over the world,” says
Dr. Chapin Key, British Col-
umbia's deputy minister of
health. “Apart from being a
tourist attraction, they have
long been thought of as
having various therapeutic
effects. In fact, the more
modern sauna bath is really a
domestic version of the same
thing.”

Dr. Key goes on to. ex-
plain that the radioactivity
found in hot springs is caused’
by radon gas which is in
solution in the hot water.

“This gas is in solution,
but as the water cools it is
released in small quantities.”

There is no danger to
people swimming in the hot
pools, stresses Dr. Key, more
especially as these are all
outdoors in British Columbia.

“What is more, radon is
an inert gas, and what little is
breathed in is not absorbed
into the body. Even if a
person swallowed water from
a hot spring, together with
the tiny amount of radon it
contains, the radon would
pass through the body into
the lungs. It would then be
breathed out of the body
within a matter of minutes.”

Dr. Key points out that
the concentration of radon
gas is much higher in some
caves und underground
workings. “Even here, it is
not radon itself that presents
any hazard,” he said.

But in enclosed spaces,
the so-called decay products
which are produced as the
gas breaks down attach
themselves to dust particles,
It is these charged dust
particles that ean lodge in the
lungs of a cave explorer or
underground worker and
could be a cause for concern
depending on amount in-
haled.

Work at Miners’
Hall comes. to halt

Work in the Miners’ Hall
at Rossland has ground to a
halt. The main reason, ac
cording to the monthly infor-
mation letter sent out by the
Rossland Heritage Society, is
the lack of funds.

The West Kootenay did
not receive any Canada
Works allocations this year,
the Miners’
Hall, as well as many other
projects in the area, must
look elsewhere for financial ~
support.

Marguerite Howard,
chead of fund raising for
R.H.S., has prepared a num-
ber of applications to various
organizations across the
province. Local 480 U.S.W.A.
has also begun a campaign
aimed at labor organizations
across the country. If.these
efforts are succesful, work
will begin again in Spring,
1980, says the information
letter.

The hall is now totally
insulated and there remains
only a small section of siding
to be installed. The building
has been completely re-
painted.

Norman Young, with the
Faculty of Arts at UBC,
visited Rossland to consult on
the stage facility in the hall.

- He is of the opinion, says the’

‘information letter, that the
original raked (slightly slop-
ing) stage that still exists in
the main hall is the only one
of its kind in B.C. For this
reason alone the stage .is
worth to its origin-
