Selling of trees begins tomorrow evening in the West Kootenay Power and Light yard. During the week, Monday through to Friday, trees can be purchased from the Castle Tire across the street, This is not only a fund raising venture for community projects, says a club spokes- man, but serves other useful purposes, It provides a service to the people at a reasonable cost, because now you just can't go out and cut a tree just from anywhere, and the tree that you get, nine out of 10 times, is of poor quality as compared to commerical trees that come from the East Kootenay Tree farm. Besides assisting a custom: erin saving the price of the gas to go hunting for a tree, it also gives some of the Rotarians a chance to really get out and be a retail salesman for a short time, Some of the major projects that have received assistance through funds raised by this club are the Castlegar Health Centre, Rota Villa, Castlegar and District Senior Citizens, Camp Rotary at Paterson ‘as wellas local Scouts, Air Cadets, Minor Hockey and other com: munity projects. President Ed Higgs says, “In Rotary we are very ap- preciative of the community support we have always re- celved with all of our projects. “By involving ourselves in our community we will be helping to make it a better place for all of us to live and work,” he says, “The selling of Christmas trees is just one of the avenues of service that the Castlegar Rotary Club is participating in and. we ask that you buy a Rotary Christmas tree.” Opposes Council’s Decision Dear Sir: T would like to take the op- portunity to register publicly my opposition to city council's decision to appoint an alderman to fill the present vacancy, T should point out that aldermen Selble and Living. stone are not involved in this decision as their terms expire this year. Although 1am not officially sworn in to office until Jan. 8, I was involved in the meeting to decide council's approach, Find- ing myself the only person in opposition to council making their own appointment and being unable to convince them otherwise I have. informed council that I felt an obligation to the community to express my feelings on the issue.

The Act does provide for appoint- ment by council, appointment by the cabinet, or a by-election proclaimed by the cabinet. With an election to be held on Jan. 29 for mayor, I feel additional pressure should have been exerted on the deputy minister to use that date to fill the aldermanic -post. If, for whatever reason, the provincial government maintained its de- cision to deprive the com- munity of a referendum, I feel that an appointment by the cabinet would be in the best interest of the council and the community. I doubt the government would maintain this position especially in the light of the by- election granted in our sister community of Nelson. I-do not feel that I can honestly and fairly decide who has and who hasn't the quali- fications to fill the aldermante post. I find it impossible to accept that the other members of council can accomplish this without either compromising themselves or the person they appoint. i Alderman-elect Len Embree College Bursar Says Budget Easily Defended (continued from page 1A) the over-the-counter food prices were already _ high enough. { Mr Reibin said “this will ' cut down some of the deficit for this year, but next year we must take a different approach to keep the deficit within reasonable limits as other in- stitutions do.” Research has been done and a need found for a local program of apprentice electri- cal training at the vocational division of Selkirk College. ans. would mean that Mr. Anderson stressed the urgency of deciding now whether to proceed on this. Council, acting“on his advice,” moved that a proposal be sub- mitted to the Department of Education. ‘There will be a serious look by Selkirk at the present status of the visual and performing arts in this area and sometime next year recommendations will be made for the establish- ment of a comprehensive pro- Lon of studies. policy was Cominco Ltd. and other joeal operations who now must at- tend BCIT for training will be able to get the same service locally.

In the course of discussing fund-raising, guest speaker, Trail Chamber of Commerce president Bob Nuyens, sug- gested that perhaps the local chamber follow the lead the Cranbrook Chamber of Com- merce which contracts its ser- ~ vices to council. These services include handling outside in- quiries, providing facilities for a tourist booth and its participa: tion in Sam Steele Days. “Trail is seriously considering this same route,” said Mr. Nuyens, There was also discussion of the city collecting chamber memberships through its trades licences, which would cover all. businesses.
