R. Waldie Elected Chairman
Of School Board for 1957

Robert T. Waldie was elected
by acclamation to serve as the
new chairman of the Board of
School Trustees for School Dis-
trict No. 9 at the first meeting
of the. new beard held on Mon-
day, January 14.

‘Mr. Waldie succeeds George
Craft, who withdrew from the
board following his transfer to
South Slocan, out of the school
district.

The election of Mx. Waldie
was quick and unchallenged, In
accepting the nomination, the
new’ chairman expressed some
doubts whether his business
duties would permit him suffi-
cient<time to attend to his new
school board office. He said that
he would try to spare the nec-
essary time and added that he
could always resign if the burden

« became to great.

Sworn in by outgoing chair-
man Mr, Craft was the only new
trustees. John Dalziel of Castle-
gar, who replaces Robert Hunter.

During the business session,
the board again tackled the pro-
blem of schoo] bus routes, with
two del i from Sh

vices to cut down on the dis-
tance their children had to walk.

the unfinished space in the high
school basement had been plast-

the recent addition to the Tar-
rys school was still unsatisfactory
in some details, particularly the
installation of heating, and that
the architect would make a fur-
ther report on the matter. In ‘the
meantime, use of the all-purpose
room at Tarrys has-to be de-
ferred.

‘The board still lacked know-

-MASTER CHEF MIKE FARANO of Nanaimo, :B.C., is one of
the busiest cooks in the world making what will be the
world's largest cake. The 10,000 pound fruit cake, standing

* 20 feet high, is being made in honour of British Columbia’s

100th Birthday in 1958. All of the cake’s five tiers will be
ornately ecoried with more than 20,000 decorations ‘de-
picting outstanding historic events in the Province’s first

100 years. Sugar statues of B.

C.'s early explorers and states-

mén, as well as giant replicas of Nanaimo’s famed Bastion
and the B.C. Legislative Buildings are to be plgced around and
cn top of the cake. Farano has been working on the decora-
tions for the last eight months. His object is to make the

cake the biggest, the most

beautiful and the most tasty

ever baked. To help him find the best ingredients and formu-
las, he has asked the women of B.C. to submit. their recipes.
When the cake is finshed it will be on display in’ Nanaimo
during: the summer of .1958. It is to have its own house with
an air conditioning system complete with chlorephyill scented
air to take off the heavy smell of ‘sugar and _ spice. Later, ‘the
cake. will be cut up into small- pieces and ‘sold—the money
received to go towards Nanaimo’s Centennial Project.

No Blame Attached
In Fatal Accident

No blame was attached by
an inquest jury ‘to the drivers
of the two cars involved in the
collision on December 22 in
which two Kinnaird women lost
their lives.

The verdict of the jury, which
sat in Castlegar on Tuesday,
January 15, says that Mrs. Robert
Hardie and Mrs. Lorne Walker
were killed by fractured neck
and scull when their small En-
glish car driven by Jean Ann
Hardie skidded on a grade one
halt mile south of Castlegar and
ran into a car driven by Roy
Englund. j

Cause of the accidert, ac-
cording to the verdict, was “ex-
tremely: icy road condition”.

‘The jury made three recom-
mendations: that all road grades
be sanded more consistently, that
sanding equipment of the De-

Senate—upper house. of parlia-
ment—will be aired in a debate
