CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, July 16, 1959

The History of the Castlegar District
Must Be Stored in a Museum Now:

Dr. Victor Goresky says the story of
the Castlegar District is ‘‘the story of men
who were willing to take a chance when
nobody else would.” O, B. Ballard says “‘the
memory of the pioneer days is fading, but
the early settlers laid good foundations and
their influence can still be feit.”

Mr. T. L. Bloomer tells how Castlegar
was started with West Robson shacks and
“‘no one knew if they had their own home
or someone else’s when they were rebuilt.”
And Mrs. Lillian E. Killough tells how her
husband always had great faith in this
area and predicted “the time will come
when you will see houses from Castelgar
to Trail.”

«° Mr. Ballard tells of gaols for Robson
citizens and the kidnapping of a governor-
general “that started the Trail Creek
Times screaming.” Mrs. Killough tells of
‘a trip to Nelson that took days instead of
‘minutes.

This is the living history of the Cast-
‘legar District. But it is history that can and
‘will die unless it is soon recored.

Staff members of the Castlegar News
‘came in‘intimate contact with the tap
roots, aS Kinnaird chairman Car) Loeblich
calls them, of this District as they went

about the District collecting material for
this Centennial issue.

' They came away with a belief that the
people of this area can never really appre-
ciate their heritage until they have eaten
peaches of.a back-porch step while. listyn-
ing to stokies on“the growth and déveldp-
ment of Kinnaird,

They can never really appreciate the
economy of this District until they have
sipped tea in Robson on a cool summer
night and listened to a pioneer tell how
Robson was once gutted by fire and- how
it came back to be a river-transportation
centre and then a fruit-ranching District.

_No one can really put down their own

tap roots in the Castlegar District until
he has a full awareness and appreciation of
the men and history which gave birth to
this valley nestled amongst giant. moun-
tains and powerful rivers.

But again, that history must soon be
recorded or it will be lost. Those pictures
must soon be collected or they, too, will be
scattered.

In short, the Castlegar District has a
mass of material for a museum. The only
need is for a building to house a museum
and a group of people to run it.

_ Our recommendation would be for the
Senior Citizen’s Association to take over
this enjoyable task. They know the history
of this District and to listen to them tell
it when visiting such a museum would be
plea fc ive, enjoy and inter-
esting. But if the Senior Citizens can’t do’
the job, some other group should. It may
soon be too late—Castlegar News Centen-
Se celebration special issue, Sept. 11,

see

| The Castlegar News believes this edi-
torial to be as true today as the day it was
written. The’ Castlegar District has a won-
derful history. It must be preserved now
by some group or it, will be lost forever.

CENTENNIAL SENTIMENT

Swift flow the rivers,
And soft blows the breeze,
ri Staunch stand the mountains,
? And tall’ $row ‘the’ trees,
Green are the valleys,
And rich is the soil,
Wealth is abundant
For those who toil.
Warm are ‘the praises :
Of folk nearand far, ow
When they.talk about the District
Of Castlegar, ‘ .

The Trail congregation of Je-
hovah's Witnesses has been invit-

sponsored by the Watch Tower

women into servitude and the
Kitchen,

Let me begin by stating flat-
ly that I rarely joke (entirely,
that is), I hope that I am neither
a cad or ungallant, nor do I hate
women (being almost constitu:
tionally incapable of this soul-
destroying emotion) and I have
no wish to force them into slav-
ery Gf as a group they ever have
been) or any other activity which
may reduce or destroy their dig-
nity as human beings. .

Not only do I not hate wo-
men but I think I feel greater
affection and sympathy for them
than most North American males.
You will note that I say “North
American males.” Women are in-
definitely better liked and more
appreciated as women in Europe
than_here.

There is a strange antipathy
for women on this continent, as
if they did not quite belong to
the human race.

‘True enough they are better

off in material wealth (over 70
per cent of the wealth of North
America belongs to its women),
they have more fi lom (theore-
tically), more gadgets, more time
anl more available men than any
other western women and yet
they have the reputation for be-
ing the most. dissatisfied.

It Is forthis reason that Iam
both sympathetic toward and cri-
tical of the women of this con-
tinent, They are in a perpetual
conflict with themselves both in-
wardly and outwardly and are
paying a bitter price for it.
