Fifty years ago, on Aug. 15, 1945, the Second World War Officially ended with the pro- nouncement of “V-J" (Victory in Japan) Day. In recognition, a sombre Parade marched along Columbia Aye, to the Kinsmen’s Park ceno- taph to commemorate those who lost their lives in the war, and to remember the millions of men, women and children who played a vital supporting role at home for Canada’s overseas soldiers. Local Legion 170 members, as well as representatives from the Nelson, Rossland and Grand Forks Legions and Castlegar Air Cadet Squadron 581, were in attendance at the ceremony. The parade marched to the beat of the drum and the melody of bagpipe music Provided by the Kootenay Kilties. While many are too young to remember the war years, many local citizens and veterans still remember. “We'd already been through V- E Day, the Victory in Europe, but we still had the Pacific War to get rid of, and it was just the same,” said Bill Kelley, who celebrated V-J day in England. “Tt was a great celebration. We Doreen Moore, who was with the Canadian Women's Army Corps when V-J Day was pro- nounced, said the formal end of the war didn't mean quite as much as the end of the war in Europe for many people “The victory in Europe was far larger because it was the Ameri- cans and the Australians who were involved in the war with Japan, more so than we were,” said Moore. “I think we celebrated the fact that it happened, but not in the Same way as V-E Day.” “It was a spontaneous day for our station. Everyone that could went into town,” said Sheila Sey- mour, a Leading Air Woman (LAW) at the time of V-J Day. “It wasn't like V-E Day, but it was a grateful day. Not exactly joyful.” “It's important to remember those who laid down their lives Continued from A1 and kiss my money goodbye.” Legionnaires from Castlegar, Nelson, Rossland and ‘kfternoon in remembrance of the 50th annversary of t Blueberry resident tangles with officials over land development people.

Despite the recent difficulties the B.C. government has been having with the U.S.-based Bon- neville Power Authority — which this spring reneged on a deal to pay the provin¢e more money in a renegotiated down- stream power benefits deal — Harcourt said the first $2 million Columbia Basin grant, as well as others planned at $2 million a year for the next 15 years, will continue to go forward basically as planned. “We've guaranteed that the money will be available out of our total provincial budget of $20 billion.
