Westar currently controls a tree farm licence which includes the drainage area surrounding the Arrow Lakes — the length of whieh runs about 320 kilometres from Castlegar to Revelstoke — and parts of the drainage area around a 160-kilometre section of the Columbia River up to the Mica Dam. “According to Nakusp sawmill owner Phillip Herridge, Controversy over Sunday shopping By CasNows Staff The Sunday shopping controversy reared its head this week in Castlegar after Castlegar RCMP issued a press release warning local stores to follow the provincial Holiday Shopping Act or be subject to a fine of up to $10,000. The release came after several stores had opened on Sunday. RCMP Staff Sgt. John Stevens said in an interview his detachment re- ceived “a few inquiries as to the regulations” for Sunday shopping though no charges were laid. Stevens said that in order for Castle- gar stores to open on Sunday, the city must hold a referendum on Sunday shopping. If @ majority of voters approved the referendum, the city could then prepare a bylaw permitting Sunday But until then, stares must ahide by. the Holiday Shopping Act, which per- mits only certain stores to open on Sundays. They include stores of less than 225 square metres, nurseries, sports rental shops, pharmacies, restaurants, hotels and motels, theatres and stores selling fresh fruit and vegetables, among others. Meanwhile, Harry Stan, manager of MacLeods, says he has gone to his lawyers for an opinion on the situation. MacLeods was one of the stores that had opened Sunday for Christmas shoppers. Stan said he expects to make a decision Thursday night on whether to remain open this Sunday However, he said it appears “80 per cent™ certain that the store won't open on Sunday “The problem is we can't get a referendum in time to stay open.” MacLeods first opened for Sunday shopping on Dec. 2 and Stan said his store had only planned to open for the four Sundays prior to Christmas. “It was only for four weeks I would never want to do it year round.” And he said the store was only open for four hours on Dec. 2 and 9 — from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m He added that customer response to the Sunday openings was “super.” “The residents loved us staying open Sunday for four hours it was a totally different shopping phere.” Asked why he wouldn't stay open on Sundays all year, Stan replied: “I don’t think the demand would be there.” He said he could see opening on Sundays and during May, June and July and in December As well, he said opening Sunday would mean he would be working ‘seven days a week” and leave him little time for his family. However, Stan was furious ovér a report that a Trail business complained about the Sunday openings in Castle- gar “It upsets the hell out of me” that someone outside Castlegar can tell Castlegar stores what to do, he said Stan said he hadn't received any complaints from Castlegar businesses. “It's not this community that’s the problem — it's bloody Trail.” Stan added that the RCMP warning has meant that stores in downtown Trail, which had planned to open Dee. 16 and 23, will not open and the Waneta atmos “It's a maximum $10,000, fine and no continued on poge AS CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1964 ar squeezing sawmills? years. the area which is Westar has gradually reduced the supply of timber to the three mills in the community toa trickle over the past three Herridge says his sawmill — which can employ 10 men — is shut down.

One-hundred and forty houses are for sale, and 120 of these were seized by banks from owners unable to keep up mortgage payments, says Herridge. “It's not just myself — the whole town is shut down, because there’s been a management licence granted which totally cripples every other business and industry in the area,” said Herridge. Following a meeting of 400 residents last Wednesday, an eight-member committee representing sawmills and businessmen was formed.

Representatives of the 30 marine workers, members of the Canadian Merchant Services Guild, and Westar Timber sat at the negotiating table in Castlegar for six hours Sunday before talks broke off, said Ed Conroy the Guild’s Arrow Lakes representative.

We were prepared for that,” he said “It certainly goes to show us that the stand we've taken is correct,” he added.

Council threw its support behind the proposal by the Castlegar-based air service and agreed to write a letter to the Canadian Transport Commission in favor of Adastra’s application. Adastra president Dale Nielsen told council he plans to operate one five- twin_.engine .aineraft..be- tween the two cities, with a six- passenger twin engine-aircraft as backup and for use in peak periods. He said the 40-minute flight will leave Castlegar in the morning and return that afternoon. “I consider this to be only a be ginning,” Nielsen said in an introduc tory letter to council. “Ideally two flights a day should be scheduled, one each in the early morning and later afternoon.” If the application is approved, Niel sen said he intends to upgrade the service as soon as demand allows. “I hestitate to inaugurate the prop- osed service with two daily flights, however, due to the costs of main taining such a schedule without reason able expectations of passenger traffic.” Nielsen said the flight will cost $105 return and $60 one way, with special prices for youths and children. As well, he has proposed a family plan and group rate discounts Nielsen said he will need a 40 per cent load factor to break even and in his application to the Transport Com mission says he expects to carry 3.5 passengers each way in the second year —inside DOLL WARNING: The tederal Consumer Aftoirs Ministry has issued a wor ning about fake Cabbage Patch dolls which have been deemed dangerous The dolls smell of kerosene are potentially flammable and are thought to couse skin irritations.
