Candidate for Area J Seeking election in elect- oral Area J is Basi! Macalister, a former Area J representative who served for six years, and chairman of the Robson and District Ratepayers’ Associa- lion for the past two years. During this period he has worked with others to bring zoning into being in Area J; promote the concept of a greater water district to utilize the unlimited supply of pure soft water available in the Arrow Lakes; a better cost sharing arrangement for Areas Land J in the operation of the Ootischenia dump and enlarge- ment of Syringa Creek Park “Being an insurance agent whose operation has taken me throughout the West Kootenay for 15 years, I feel that I have day-to-day contact with the residents of Area J and the Regional District. I can supply representation based on knowl- edge of regional district work- ings and the needs of electoral Area J and the Regional District of Central Kootenay. “My candidacy for Re- gional District director,” says Mr. Macalister, resulls from a firm belief that the Kegional District concept provides the only way that electoral areas ean speak for themselves on matters which affeet them. “Through the Regional District, the electoral areas may provide themselves with many of the services enjoyed by municipalities and improve- ment districls without the restrictions of becoming incor- porated,” he says. “I believe that a candidate for Regional District office must have a broad outlook and see his electoral area as a part of the Regional District and he should seek. to.coordinate. the us interests for the good of community and district. “The Regional District has increased its budget by ap. proximately 700 per cent since 1966. It is therefore important that the residents of the electoral areas become aware of the services available to them and that they in turn make the Regional District aware of their needs,” says Mr. Macalister.

School District No. 9 is le for only half the year as chairman. Mr. Vanderpol believes the task of the Regional Districts is twofold, “I believe the RDCK's task is to plan and to implement these plans when possible, always considering the inter- ests and wishes of the local people,” he says. Together with Mr. Gattrell bylaw, although not in his ideas, makes it possible lo plan the orderly development of the area, while protecting the interests of the residents," Mr. Gatlrell and he worked together to bring the proposed street-lighting in Robson to referendum, so that the voters directly involved can now express their wishes. “In the last year a great deal of work was done in preparing for the RDCK water study, now in progress, which may lead to bring sufficient waler of good quality not only to Area J but also to the neighboring municipalities and areas,.by utilizing the Arrow Lakes as a source, “Area J is quite a diversified area with different nceds for each section. I feel the people of the area to be most important and believe that they should be able to live in the environment they wish.” Mr. Vanderpol, who is a resident of Area J, feels he understands the needs of the people of the area and would like the opportunity to work on their behalf. debt. The provincial govern- ment picks up the other half.

Spurney. Expo officials expect to sell about five million tickets— about half the number sold at the Seattle fair in 1962 and far fewer than the 50 million at Expo ‘67 in Montreal and the 62 million at Osaka in 1970. “At those fairs people sometimes had to stand in line for hours just -to see one exhibit,”, Mr. Spurney said. “They won't have that problem here.” The Expo fairgrounds cover about:100 acres right downtown, half of it land, half of it the Spokane river. Exhibits are on both banks and two islands midstream. Visitors will be able to walk everywhere on the grounds and see most of the exhibits in two or three days—depending on how long they spend on each.
