A “people place” court at the heart of the centre will encourage shoppers to gather, relax, sit down and enjoy refreshments from handy fast food shops. Court and mall materials will be primarily brick, wood and carpet. Two main malls and sever- al branches will lead from the ‘court to about 30 small-to- dit ize shops on the ‘Post Office Counter Service Has New Hours ‘Counter services in the Castlegar Post Office will switch over to a five-day-week operation beginning July 10, says Postmaster Russell Deans. : Although the counter will - be closed, Deans noted that the ! box lobby will remain open ona 24-hour-a-day basis, and that : Saturday mail will continue to e collected, processed and dis- atched. He added that stamps will continue to be available from “ the stamp-dispensing machine * outside the post office, and that : money orders and : available on Saturday at the sub post office in Carl's Drugs at the Castleaird Plaza. : The move to a five-day- week comes about after a : review showed that the number of sales transacted on a Satur- Beacon Lights Shot Out By Vandals : For the second time run- -ning in less than a month the Tred hazard beacon light on a 100-foot tower located on In- dian Flats has been the subject of vandalism.

All British Colum- bia and the Yukon should have made this service by late August of this year. The changes are part of an overall program to whittle down the post office depart- ments deficit, Deans explained. Within a year, the savings in the B.C. and Yukon postal district could reach half-a-mil- lion dollars.

No part of the hotel had been used for at least a week, The fire started at about 2:30 in the rear of the building, on the second floor. By the time the Trail fire department was notified at 2:50, and had arrived shortly after, the building was succumbing quickly to the spreading flames. There appears to be little hope of restoring the hotel without first demolishing it. Most severe damage is in the residential section on the sec- ond floor. There is little damage in the kitchen off the upstairs dining room, but the once- famous’ dining room, known widely for its Italian dinners, is in shambles. The rest of the ond floor suffered heavy heat, smoke and water damage. The beer parlor and the pizza parlor are also in bad shape. Cause will not be known for some Lime, say fire depart- ment officials. — Mowe Once Again We Prove It.

Stewart Webster, who rep- resents the council on the steering committee for the audit, told council members the deadline for the internal phase of the review of the college operations had been extended from the end of this month to August. He said the external auditors—officials of the educa- tion ministry of other institu- tions—were expected to arrive on schedule in mid-November and complete their report by ~ late December. Webster noted the rough drafts of the unit reports for the internal audit were already two-thirds complete. “They have a lot of in- formation in them,” he said. “Some is quite enlightening and ‘some is quite disturbing.” A progress report by Bad Water Is a Fact of Life; It can come from any source.

In response to a proposal by SHSS teachers Satoshi Uchida and David Healing, the School District No. 9 board at its June meeting decided to pay Digital Corporation $520 monthly for use and mainte- nance of the computer on a probationary basis. Trustees ruled out purchase of the com- puter this year because of the lack of available funds. Uchida told the board the . ES 210 four-terminal computer could be used by the school to teach an elective Grade 11 computer science course ac- commodating 50 to 60 students as well as for other purposes, He stressed the urgency of making a decision on the com- pany's offer, which would ex- pire June 30.

Asked by trustee George Anutooshkin whether a tie-in to a central computer system would be less expensive, Uchida said the cost of B.C, data lines to the computer would be high and the school would not be able to use the computer at all times.
