Thursday, May 29, 1952 ; Afternoon Reflections By Gladys Collinson Last Wednesday evening we at- tended the Festival of Nations Concert at the Trail Junior High School Auditorium, psonsored by the Arthur Chapman Chapter of the LO.D.E. It was wonderful, and a credit to both producers and participants. Of course we enjoyed it all, but our biggest thrill came when the “Kinnaird Kossacks” was announced. Now just a minute and I'l tell you how that came about. It seems that the Russian group of Folk Dancers from Grand Forks were unavoidably absent and so a group of Folk Dancers from Kinnaird were coached in short order by their instructress, Katie Shaw, and belieye me, they did a . Pear Cabinet Ministers = = Wage RadiO Campaign The necessity of a “sound sta- ble government” for the contin- uance of B.C.’s rapid develop- ment, and a promise of sweeping agricultural reform, are the themes expressed by Attorney- General Gordon S. Wismer and Agricultural Minister Harry Bowman in election campaign speeches broadcast ‘over 18 B.C. radio stations recently. In his message to the people of B.C. Mr. Wismer described some of the giant strides forward being made. by the peoples of B.C. at Kitimat; Kemano; Na- naimo; Howe Sound; Port Ed- ward; Prince George; Quesnel; and, Williams Lake. “North Cen- tral B.C. is one of the most fa- vored parts of the province and lation it has men to match its ny rich challemgesg” observed the Attorney-General, ‘but it will take a stable government to keep Canada’s fastest growing provin- ce going right ahead on the road known as prosperity.’’’ “Political irrésponsiubility at a time like this will stop in its tracks the flow of money and ideas into our province. We can’t experiment with unknown and untried systems and still retain the respect of the business world.” Mr. Bowman, asserted: “A pros- perous agriculture is essential to a prosperous economy for all British Columbia.” He then went on -to outline how the Liberal party hopes to boost the agricul- tural life of B.C. “The Liberal Party will con- centrate on the four broad parts of the field of agricultural ad- ministration — development and reclamation,, extension and pro- fon, pr ion and rv and marketing,” he explained. Proposed along this line are, the extension of the Prairie Farm Re- habilitation Act to B.C.; develop- ment of the Peace River Block as a mixed farming area built round a grassland economy; ex- pansion of existing soil survey facilities; fullest possible’ meas- ure of assistance in the develop- ment of new large irrigation pro- jects; addition of trained, home economists to the agricultural staff; providing all necessary sup- port .to the 4-H or Junior Calf Club movement; further develop- ment of B.C.’s cow testing pro- gram; support of the poultry and fruit industries and of the farm- ers’ and Women’s Institutes and the i and reor; tion of present markets.

Father E. F. Martin at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, East Trail, this morning. Born on Jan. 22, 1882, in Mont- real, the late Mr. Leduc came to B.C. about 49 years ago. A plum- ber by trade, he worked in mines around Rossland for. a number of years, later joining the Co- minco employ. He retired in 1947. He is also survived by his wife two daughters and son in Trail, a sister in Edmonton, and a brother in Rossland. City Kid was being shown around his uncle’s farm and saw a large animal in the field. “What's that?” he asked. “That’s a bull,” replied his uncle. The lad watched the bull for a few moments and then... “Where's the dozer?” CASTLE THEATRE Mon. and Tues. — June 2 & 3 “PASSAGE WEST” Shows at 7 and 9 p.m. ‘HUBER PHOTOS Zanailo’s Apt.

I never fully realized how a pair of baseball pants and my best white silk Sunday blouse plus a pair of shiny black simu- Jated boots could transform an ordinary everyday-looking teen- ager into a Russian dancer. I guess there must be something after all to that old gag about clothes making the man. Another thrill of the evening came when Mr. Wallie Walper, who is a very welcome addition to our community, sang that pop- ular old Irish ballad, “Back to Donegal.” The ovation was deaf- ening, in fact it almost brought the roof down around our ears. You know, folks, Kinnaird does- n't take up much room on the map, bvt just let me tell you community spirit is really tops. to say nothing of the local talent in our midst. And when it is combined with that of our neigh- boring town and sister village of Castlegar, we have indeed much to be proud of.
