Course in June A ‘training course for volunteers who wish to work for the Castlegar Crisis Centre ” will be held early in June. All volunteers must fill out. an application form and arrange an interview with the project director. Volunteers are needed for - many different community ser: vices and the personal interests of the volunteer will be taken into consideration. The Crisis Centre needs people interested in working on the crisis telephone; people who are interested in doing smail plumbing or carpentry jobs for others who can't do it themselves and whose fixed incomes cannot be stretched to include commercial rates for such jobs; people interestd in providing transportation and companionship on shopping trips with the elderly; and most _ importantly, people who just like people and want to help. ‘The Crisis Centre can only offer a valid community service if it is indeed a part of the assist in the creation of special displays at the Communal Village Museum. A grant of $1,000 will be forthcoming. Funds will enable the Historical Society to pro- ceed with work on special , displays showing the handi- crafts. and home. industries practiced by the Doukhobors in the West Kootenays during the early part of this century, Work has been progress- ing at the site throughout the winter under a Local Initiatives Grant and the U-shaped out- buildings adjacent to the main house are now ready for the setting up of displays. Many artifacts have al- ready been collected. Money received from the Koerner Foundation will enable the Historical Society to proceed with the restoration, catalogu- ing and setting up of these implements and tools, It is hoped that some of the displays will be ready by the time the tourist season gets underway, however, due care and. time will maintain the high standards of authenticity set by the Histori- cal Society. To celebrate the progress made on the museum complex and to acknowledge that it is no longer in its infancy the executive of the society felt that a christening was in order and the museum complex has been named “Novoje Selo” (New Village}.
