Air mail service should be
used to complement the im-
proved truck delivery sche-
duled says Kootenay-West MP
Ran Harding who hopes the
post office department will
reverse its decision on what he
termed a “very important
matter",

On Sept. 23 an “assured
mail program” will go into
effect with all mail trucked to
the coast.

In a letter to the Town of
Kinnaird, Mr. Harding thanked
council for a copy of a letter
Mayor Colin Maddocks had
forwarded to the Postmaster
Genera! earlier this month
asking for assurance the mail
service would improve rather
than deteriorate,

Mr. Harding's letter was
filed for information,

Castlegar and District
Chamber of Commerce, at its
Thursday meeting, has taken a
wait-and-see attitude towards
the matter.

MRS, LINDA FAY BYRNES,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Huston of Castlezar,
graduated from Royal Inland
Hosp!tal School of Nursing in
Kamloops. Mrs. Byrnes, who is
a graduate of Stanley Hum-
phries Secondary School, took
top honors of her class
receiving the gold medal for
proficiency in nursing. Mrs.
Byrnes will be joining the staff
at Trail Regional Hospital.

Douglas and Donald Sutherland of Winlaw
Acquitfed Thursday on a Charge of Assauif

Douglas Wayne Suther-
land, 20, and his father Donald,
58, both of Winlaw, were
acquitted Thursday in Nelson
Court on a charge of assault,

Val Michuel Thatcher, a
27-year-old American, had

charged that the two men -

assaulted him June 27 near
Winlaw while he was standing
on a highway talking with
friends.

Defence lawyer, Michael
Moran, called seven witnesses
Thursday replying to the
allegations of Crown witnesses
heard Aug. 21.

After the defence evidence
and the summing up by Mr.
Moran and Crown counsel,
Fred Angene, Judge R. B.
Allan said he was “confronted
by a direct conflict of evidence.”

On the one hand, the judge
said, “Crown witnesses say
Douglas Sutherland assaulted
Thatcher without warning, or
provocation, or reason and

tion who have a responsibility
to get things done through
other people quicker, better
and with greater effectiveness.

The final course in the
series to be held Nov. 26 to 30,
problem solving techniques for
supervisurs, is a work zel.ted
training lab where participants
learn” by“ working hard to
identify and solve problems
from their own job situation. ,

All the courses are held
during the day. :

Instructors are supplied by
the B.C. Institute of Tech-
nology, and fees are totally
covered by Canada Manpower.

Many of the employers in
this area avail themselves of
this opportunity to upgrade
their staff. The courses are of
proven worth, having been
offered throughout British Col-
umbia for several years, usually
in the spring and fall.

People wishing more infor-
mation, or wishing to register

Learn the
ABC’s of
Vitamins. At

Understanding vitamins isn’t always easy. There
are so many different kinds to choose from, And
each one has a special function in your body.

So Rexall has decided to create an all-new,
one-shop Vitamin Centre— to help you under-
stand the ABC's of vitamins and nutrition, and
their importance to your health. And your family’s.

quite

On the other hand, “De-
fence witnesses. say Douglas
was struck first by Thatcher. It
appears that these two, Thatch-
er and Tucker (a Crown
witness) were incensed about a
previous incident shortly be-
fore at Jones’ store.” (This ‘is
reference to an incident involv-
~ fng Tucker and Douglas Suther-
land which resulted in Tucker's
indecent
language charge.)

“In a case like this," said
Judge Allan, “it is very difficult.
for a judge to say who is telling
the truth,

“I feel hound to give the
accused the benefit of the
doubt.”

Douglas Sutherland giving
his evidence earlier said that
shortly after the Jones’ store
incident he drove past Thatcher
and his friends on the highway
and was given the ‘thumbs up’
sign by all of them except
Thatcher who shook his fist at
him and shouted, ‘I'll get you
sometime’.

Douglas. Sutherland said
he wanted to know what had
caused this and the earlier
incident at the store and pulled
over and walked back to the
group.

“L asked him (Thatcher) if’

he wanted a fight here. He said,
‘No’","Sutherland said.

“He was waving his beer in
front of me and it splashed on
me. I knocked it aside and he

hit me in the neck. I hit him;

back and we went down to the
ground.”

Sutlierland said he landed:

on top of Thatcher who was
kicking with his feet and he
(Sutherland) hit him five or six
limes.

“He said, ‘All right, that's
enough’. My dad said ‘Let him
up’ and he got up and went to
the van. He later said I proved
my point," the younger Suther-
land said,

Sutherland's evidence was
corroborated by two other
Crown witnesses, Donald
Sutherland and Kevin Suther-
land, a cousin,

Donald Sutherland also
denied that he kicked Thatcher
during the fight.

Earlier, Crown witnesses
had stated that the elder
Sutherland kicked Thatcher as

Well Represented
At Conference

An opportunity to hear an
address, described as very
positive and timely, on indus-
trial relations, has been offered
to Castlegar and District
Chamber of Commerce by the
Employees Council of BC.

he was raising himself off the
ground,

In his summing up, Mr.
Moran told the court “everyone
{of the Crown witnesses) said
they did nothing to arouse
Douglas Sutherland. It is an
affrontery and a disgrace that
they come before this court
with their testimony.

“Almost like parrots they
deny anything was done to
provoke Douglas Sutherland.

“I ask Your Honor to
conclude that they did make
obscene, tHreatening gestures
and once you find that you find
them liars... their evidence was
completely false,” the defence
counsel submitted.

Mr. Angene, submitting
that the assault was committed
by the Sutherlands and that,
Douglas Sutherland provoked
it told the court that six
witnesses cannot be called liars
in a blanket statement just
because there is a conflict of
evidence.

Before acquitting the

letter received at last Thussdey
night’s Chamber of Commerce
meeting, president Mary An-
derson said the neighboring
chambers of Trail and Nelson
would be contacted to si

could be a joint’ addréss.

Judge Allan said

an this was not the first

incident involving opposing
factions in the Slocan Valley
but “it had better stop. There
are proper ways to deal with

lence."
