KRC Membership, A Christian Duty

The current K.R.C. drive for new members, puts the onus on
Castlegar businessmen to show the K.R.C. they mean what they say,
It was a number of C: who 1 the
pressure for more K.R.C, membership at a recent meeting of the
Castlegar and District Chamber of Commerce. It, is to be rightly

d that Ci will now all sign up for sub-
stantial contributions to the society.

The pressure of course, was quite justified. Indeed, it was over-
due. For a long time past, K.R.C. members have been mostly smelter
men in this district and only a very small percentage of business-
men. This, we feel, is largely the fault of the K.R.C. directors them-
selves, It is not to their credit that they have undertaken this cur-
rent membership drive, only after pressure from the Chamber of
Commerce, They shold have had several such; drives long ago to
ensure their many grants are truly on behalf ‘ot the district and
not just on behalf of the district smeltermen,

Conversely, it is just as much a duty of every resident to become
a steady K.R.C. contributor, as it is the duty of the K.R.C, directors
to expand their membership in line with district population expan-
sion.

The K.R.C. was formed ‘for the purpose of eliminating tag days
and individual appeals by every one of the numerous worthwhile
district and national organizations that depend on charity for their
work. By contributing to the K-R.C,, the Castlegar district resident,

to all and district 3 worthy of con-

tributing to,
, when the of the Society is only a small

percentage of the district population as it ‘has been till the present,
the Society’s grants cannot possibly be.as large as they should be.
Worthy appeals such as the Salvation Army, the Conquer Cancer
Campaign and our own district charities, get only a token contribu-
tion from the Castlegar District, simply because there is only at token
istrict on the

their are agency. It boils down to a few making contribu-
tions on behalf of, the whole district, Everyone who is not a K.R.C.
member is actually asking the handful that are to add his charitable
obligations to their own, — a most vet situation, indeed. ,.

hall, they will introduce it to the
