A man noted for being an ardent fisherman, Peter Sam Harshenin, 65, of Raspberry Village died last Thursday in the Castlegar and”. District Hospital. : Funeral ‘service was held” last. Sunday from the chapel of the Castlegar’ Funeral Home. Born in Verigin, Sask., “Conscience and Comment Jan. 23, 1908, Mr.-Harshenin _ came to.British Columbia in the early °1920s residing in the Castlegar’ area all his life.

Mr. Andrews said the archives were a pet project of his which became an_ official body in 1970. He had personally collected items before that ‘time. Work in the archives has also progressed through youth grants, ; Mr. ‘Andrews said the archives located in the Mona- shee wing at Selkirk College where humidity and tempera- tures were ideal, already had 100,000 letters all catalogued and indexed, These, he said, are mainly from the City of Trail through: they have» material from Slocan and: they are. talking now with Grand Forks, Mr. Andrews explained the archives are open for public use, are well used by students and letters arrive monthly with requests. He said he has kept record of usage-and has already had half-a-dozen requests from old- Deputy Minister Responds To Former. Mayor's Inquiry One of the final acts on the part of Colin Maddocks as the mayor ‘of Kinnaird was to inform council at its Dec. 18 meeting that he had written Municipal Affairs Minister’ Jim Lorimer expressing “deep con- cern about the manner in which the amalgamation is being » processed.” A reply, dated Jan. 3 and bearing ‘the. signature of De- puty Minister W. K. Smith, was - included in correspondence at last’ Thursday's meeting and read as follows: \“The Minister is absent , from his. office for a short holiday prior to the opening of the forthcoming session of the Legislature. “Copies of the. Letters Patent ‘of the new City: of Castlegar-Kinnaird | were. for- warded to the clerk of the Town of Castlegar, under date of Dec. - hdd at 17,_and you, may have. ‘opportunity, ‘and who should go thi pending the election of the new council at the end of March.” Heart Foundation Given Canvass Rights February 24 If the Heart Foundation is not. receiving’ funds’ -from United: Appeal they will be allowed to canvass the city for three hours during Heart’ Sunday, Feb. 24. ‘This was the sfand taken at last Thursday night’s meet- ing’ of city ‘council’ which ‘got down to its first real business’ meeting since its inauguration ©: the,previous Monday. ‘Ald. Andy Shutek showed concérn of conflict between who. should canvass i timers wanting their births looked up in old newspapers to confirm their birth date when applying for pensions. “Oldtimers have also dona- ted personal photos which the: archives is more than happy to accept,” said Mr. Andrews, He spoke of research from documents being compiled into booklets, One booklet of which the archives published 500 copies at cost was purchased by School District No, 11 (Frail) and has been found very useful to the grade 10 and 11 students. The booklet dealt with the develop- ment of Bay Ave. in “Similar books,” said Mr. Andrews, “could be made on the Castlegar Arena and the old Doukhobor Bridge.” It was noted Castlegar had no complete minutes until 1946 and that previous meetings had been hold in various locations, including Ed Lewis’ barber shop. Mr. Lewis is now one of the city’s fire chiefs. Ald. Ed Mosby said Mr, Andrews’ request came at an opportune - time...when the number of aldermen now serving lessened::the overall burdens. of duties.” He “also stated it was very fortunate to have such ‘a\man as Andrews in He did suggest, however, while’ the ‘subject was under consideration, ; micro filming, | which could be done throug! facilities ‘at the Regional Dis- iven some thought. ty filming such records,” _ if United ‘Appeal stating ea rei “ary. mar!

Mr. D'Arcy disclosed that all planning is completed for the Kinnaird-Salmo Highway and that the highways department is prepared to let some major contracts. He estimated com- pletion of the highway will take three years and cost about $15 million. He said“ the next contract “will obviously be on the other (Salmo) side.” di Cc ditt From a straight of-road 8 insurance, Mr. ie re ported the Blueberry Creek section of the Castlegar-Trail Highway needs work ina worse way and he speculated it would be cheaper to do that section of highway at the same time as Castlegar’s curb-and-gutter program than to do either project separately. D'Arcy said that while some people have been seeing reduc- tions, others are having in- creases, He said an appeal procedure will be set up and refund cheques will be mailed out, Regarding the increased assessment notices some people are receiving in unorganized areas, the MLA said there have been assurances from Premier Barrett that some scheme will be worked out—such as tax deferments—so no one will be hurt, He said it is the final tax bill a person pays that really counts, and expressed the hope that with assessments going up _ the mill rate will be lowered so the actual tax bill wil! not be as high as new assessments would indicate. He said the ney, assess- ments are part of a program that will eliminate some of the inequities that existed in the past, claiming that artificial methods were employed in the past to hold assessments down. ere are some great inequalities," he commented, “and I hope they can be settled soon,” Salmo Chamber of Commerce Inquires Into Missing Link _Kinnaird-Salmo Link |was, one, ofthe more ‘8 long: waited curb-and-gutter bos: Fo Mr. D'Arcy! sald: he ¢. ” the’ curb-and-gutter. program has not been ‘cancelled,’ com- menting that “on break-up, shortly: before, there” will: be some activity.” f e Selected South Africa ROTA Trip For Former Local Man “A former Stanley Humph- ries graduate and now assistant registrar for the department of education in.
