In deciding to call a public meeting at this time, the Castle- gar Bridge Committee had sev- eral points in mind. 1. The fact that Celgar is def- initely coming to Castlegar has made it obvious that we are go- ing to get a bridge. ‘ 2. Even if an immediate start is made on a bridge, it will be at least two years before it can be completed, and by that time, ferry traffic will have -doubled or treb- led. 3. If we ask for a toll bridge at this time, that’s just what we'll get. “ 4. If we refuse to settle for a toll bridge, we can probably get a free bridge. 5. If we ask for a toll bridge, and get one, the bridge will not be subsidized by present ferry costs. Local residents will not get a free pass to use the toll bridge, although they may get a commy- ter’s rate. If it’s a toll bridge, Lubrication ‘A Fall Must Wheel bearings, differen- tial, transmission, steering apparatus... they all need careful lubrication after this summer’s hard driving.

The proposed toll bridge will not. be financed by the B.C. gov- ernment, which. can. borrow money at 31[2 per cent. It, will be financed by private capital at about 5 per cent interest or more. 7. The bridge company build- ing a toll bridge will have a 25 year charter—the only way we would ever get rid of tolls would THE CASTLE NEWS at L. Vv.

We would like to re- port on our present position, and on the results we have obtained to date.

Yours truly, Ross MacDermid, Chairman, Castlegar mittee. Bridge Com Just LOOKING Thank you By E. G. O. At Beauty There was a red-backed poetry book, used in the high schools in British Columbia several years ago, called “Nineteenth Century Poetry”, edited by George Dil- worth. It is for my money, as fine an anthology of verse that you could find and since it was used in the ancient and misty days before the rental plan you could probably find quite a few in various nooks and attics, gath- ering dust. However, since I enjoy the poems it contains more now probably than whenlI had to learn them, mine gathers dust only per- iodically, being dragged out regularly on one occasion or an- other. The present cloak of autumn is such an occasion and there is a poem by William Wordsworth which goes like’ this: “The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers! . Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! ; This sea that bares her bosom to the moon; For PHONE 3031 — The CASTLE NEWS TERHEADS PATEMENTS CIRCULAR LETTERS EVERYTHING a In The Printing Line - ENVELOPES. TICKETS \— TIME CARDS The winds that will be howling at all hours, All are gathered now like sleep- ing flowers. For this, for everything, we are out of tune, It moves us not.” This was written one hundred and fifty years ago but it is as true as if it were written in 1952. With the papers full of politics, death, disaster and advertise- ments for coal bills, we go about with our heads in a black cloud and our eyes on the ground as we hurry unseeingly along. Yet all about us is the pageantry of au- tumn with a wealth of beauty to last a life time. Carpets of leaves, misty hills blazing in red and gold, while the blue-green Columbia coldly pre- sages the coming winter. And Its Appreciation Visitors and newcomers tell us that this is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful districts that they have ever seen and at no time is it so breathtaking as now. The beauties «£ nature are one of the few things left to us that are completely free. There is a very real danger that by failing to use our senses to an- preciate beauty, that very ability may be lost and we would be poor indeed without it. It is a voor thing too that others must point out to us that which we are too preoccupied to notice for ourselves. One doesn’t have to agree with the poets but at least they are us- ually people of considerable per- ception and therefore well worth listening to.
