.hold the Fall Fair.

Burton P. Campbell, son of
oMr, arid’ Mrs. L. V. Campbell of
‘Castlegar, has been awarded two
journajism scholarships at the
Ryerson Institute of Technology,

“Toronto. i

He won the Thompson News-
papers $250 scholarship for stand-
ing first in second-year journa-|
Jism and the Bomae $100 scholar-|’
-ship for standing first in liberal
arts subjects.

Burton graduated from SHHS
in 1955 and took his first year of
university at Notre Dame Col-
‘Jege,.Nelson, before going to Ry-
‘erson,

In the 1957-58 term at Ry-
erson, Burton was president of!
the ‘Young Social Credit Club,
“president of the Ryerson Stud-
-ents’ Political Association, a
gyoup which arranges for such
things as debates between the
-political clubs, and was secretary-
treasurer of Tau Epsilon Nu fra-
ternity.

Prior to the March 31 fed-
eral election Burton had an art-
icle in the Globe and Mail Mag-
azine: “Socred, Skip the Funny|
Money Stuff, Accept the Bennett-
‘Marming Brand” in which he at-
tacked the funny-money theories
of Solon Low. >

Fall Fair Can't Find Site

The Castlegar and District:
Fall Fair board and members
dealt with a heavy agenda at
Monday's meeting.

Eleven persons were present
and the number one question
this year was as usual, where to

Mrs. MeDonald, treasurer,
and J. T. Webster, president who
had earlier approached the school
board for permission to use the
high school again, reported they
were requested to explore all
other possibilities.

‘The school trustees felt the’
midways and sideshows intro-
duced an undesireable element
and were generally bad for the
school and students,

They felt a public building
of some other type should be
procured if at all possible and|
wished to know if the Projects
Society could not let the Pair
Board use the arena.

Fall Fair directors discussed!
the matter at some length with
many points being brought up.
It was the general opinion that
the midways and sideshows!
brought in last year had done
little to benefit the Fair itself
and could be dispensed with.

Letters had been sent out
enquiring whether the rink will
be ready before September but
no reply has heen received,

‘To render the rink suitable
for Fair purposes it would be
necessary to construct a stage,
to provide sanitary facilities, and
to build some kind of floor sur-
face for the big building.

If nothing definite or satis-
factory could be learned regard-
ing the rink, the delegation will
again attend a school board!
meeting and lay the facts of the
problem before the board.

circus and midway type of en-
tertainment.

All concession booths, such
as those selling hotdogs, coffee
and confectionery, would be
operated by local or district or-
ganizations only.

The meeting voted to re-
imburse Miss C. Riley for the
work she has done typing proofs
for the prize list booklet,

The prize list is now almost
ready for the printer, members
were advised.

Mrs. McDonald said there
are still two or three memento
cups to be obtained. If some
local group wished to precure
these the board would be happy
to include them in the prize list
Anew idea is to be tried out
this year for tickets, with a sep-
arate season admission ticket
being offered as well as a regu-
lar membership ticket. The lat-
ter will be reserved for active
members.

The admission ticket would
admit the holder to the fair
grounds at any time during the
Fair. Regular admission price is
50 cents, white the tickets to

cover the entire Fair would be
$1.00

Judges for the respective
sections ‘were discussed and

Bylaw 113, a $120,000 by-

Of this $50,000, $35,000 is al-

the bylaw. This mears $15,000 in

The $15,000 is necessary to
buy a recommended emergency

$2,500 and to pay for $4,500 werth
of pipe which was laid outside

PART TWO OF SOROKIN'S LETTER |

Says Communist Russia Now Keeps: Her Promises

On what grounds can the
government of Canada ‘bar Soro-
kin’s participation in, the Douk-
hobor problem?, You , of course
know that: it~ relied - ‘completely
upon the reports of its- experts.
Can there stitl be people’ who
think that .I can understand
‘things differently? ae,

Your friend Gulléy whom
‘you recommended to‘all, and me
personally, seeking our subser-
vience, constantly ‘and -‘sarcasti-
cally assured members of my
group that Sorokin will never be
in Canada and he can expect not
to be invited into the problem.
He assured our members in the
same manner that you are &ssur-
ing me in’ and that is why we
think that you too, are not with-
‘out sin.

I fully realize that the gov-
ernment dpes.not- have-to-invite

Doukhobor problem arises.

but’ to make an honouroble set-
tlement and in a christian man-
ner, he cannot be overlooked. But
seeing that the’charted plan for]
the Doukhobors is one of force
and terror, circumstances them-
selves insist that no one is need-
ed but yourselves, once the

cautious, beuring’ in mind that
even my documents were not as
good as an ordinary Canadian’s,

But for the five years men-
tioned, neither you nor Gulley
made no, attempt to invite me
even though I told you that with-
out me you will get nowhere. You
Know. that. You also. know that
I-did‘not participate in the money

did not invite me because you

Sorokin. can .bring it. to an end
very easily. And if‘it should hap-
pen that I-return to Canada and
straighten. it out, I assume that
you will be in. an unfavourabie

cealing it.

In order to conceal it suc-
cessfully, it was of.vital impor-
tance that the identity of Soro-
kin be smirched and distrust of
him be placed with ‘the govern-
ment, something for which, par-
ticularly, Gulley toiled, And all,
only for the money and the
credits involved.

You have shown quite early
that' you wished to ignore me, in
tact immediately after the’ Douk-
‘hobor Proclamation proclaimed
me their Spiritual Guide.

Remember the first confer-
ence held in Vancouver re the
Doukhobor problem. I was to
have’ attended as a representa-
tive‘of the Doukhobors: but ‘you,
and Gulley insisted that I refrain
from ing that I

found out that their representa-
tive is barred’and that an un-
favourable to my group, and the
Doukhobors in general, person
was to attend in my place, a
storm of protest arose amongst
the Doukhobors: telegrams were
sent to Vancouver demanding of
the Consultative Committee that
Sorokin attend or the conference
would not be recognized by the
Doukhobors. .

Then you, again: with Mr.

tend but that I must not reveal
who tried to disbar me — a veri-
table pat on the back for me.
Here you showed that you
tried to ignore me for some unex-
plained reasons although you also
