under new management. Colleei Pollard is‘léasihg the:
cafe from hotel owner Jim Marshall. Colleen took over
the cafe July 1 from Jean Humphrey, who also happens to
be Colleen’s mother.

However, Colleen is fairly new to Castlegar, moving
here earlier this month from her home in Ontario. But
that doesn't mean she is unfamiliar with the local area.
Colleen says she has spent a lot of time in Castlegar over
the last eight years, what with her family being here.

As well, there have been major changes to the hotel's
bar, and rooms. The lounge has re-opened and Tulio says

a number of modifications are in the works for the,
restaurant and dining room.

Finally, Tullo says, “We hope to have a new poo!” in a 7 i
better location soon. Watch for an announcement in the |
near future on more work planned at.the hotel. 4]

IT WAS JUST last month that Street Talk ran a ||
short item on George Driediger, former president of the
BC. {Social Credit Party. George now lives in Grand
Forks and operates a 17-acre strawberry farm there.

Nosooner did we mention that George had moved to
Grand Forks from the Fraser Valley where his sons still
operate a huge farm, than the Vancouver Province

Colleen says she's looking forward to running the
Chuckwagon and has also opened a dining room down-
stairs called “The Rustler’s Den.”

And how has business been so far in the first three
weeks? “It's been pretty good,” says Colleen. “We've
been busy.”

THE HI ARROW ARMS Hotel is continuing to
upgrade its premises. Owner Tullo Esposito says he has
already filled in the old swimming pool to make room for a
new patio. Now all that's needed is better weather so

guests can use it, says Tulio.

AMIDST ALL THE washouts on the Trans-Canada
Highway last week, a pair of washouts on Highway 28
between Galena Bay and Revelstoke were almost
overlooked.

Mudslides and water cut the highway in two places,
halting traffic to Nakusp and the Slocan Valley from the
Trans-Canada Highway. The mud and water overflowed

channels at Begbie Creek and Cranberry Sock covering
the highway at those points. 3)

Kristiansen slams cuts

OTTAWA — False econ-
omy imposed on the National
Library of Canada will either
cost taxpayers money. or
cause a drop in education
quality Kootenay West MP
Lyle Kristiansen has
charged.

Acut in the Canadian Book
Exchange Centre (CBEC)
services will save little, Kris-
tiansen said, but will cost li-
braries, colleges and univer-
sities from B.C. to New
Brunswick enormously.

Also, if they can’t afford to
replace the books previously
supplied through the CBEC,
they'll just do without, and
the quality of their collec-
tions will decline, he said.

“It's outrageous that in or-
der tosave perhaps $100,000,
the National Library is
forced to cut a service that
distributes more than half a
million books each year to
1,876 libraries,” Kristiansen
said.

“T've written to Francis

Fox demanding that he re-'

ing. If he doesn't, taxpayers
will spend $20 for every book
bought that otherwise would
have come from the CBEC
for perhaps a dollar.”

Kristiansen further noted
that while the Canadian ser-
vice distributed 500,000
books last year with about 15
people employed, a similar
American system sent out
only 200,000 books with a
staff of 44.

“This is an efficient, well-
used system that everyone
agrees is needed and which
performs a valuable service

“Now universities and col-
leges can no longer send in
their surplus stock, and their

B.C. senior cyclists

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Ontario government has
promised financial assistance
to 81 British Columbia senior
citizens who are cycling
across Canada, says the
president of the Cross-Can-
ada Cycle Tour.

The group of 31 cyclists,
who are on their way to Es-
panola, Ont. today, will re-
ceive the money once they
reach Ottawa next week,
Fred Grayston said.

He said he does not know
how much money will be pro-
vided.

Funds from the federal
New Horizons program, B.C.
Lottery and Seniors Lottery
Association have already

The brought in more than

$30,000, but the grants are
still $25,000 short of the
$76,000 tost of the tour.

Grayston said his associ-
ation’s main concern is the
$12,850 needed to pay for the
45 18-speed bicycles bought
for the trip. The cyclists will
pay for their own meals and
transportation back from St.
John's, Nfld., their destin-
ation point.

The cyclists have been
“well taken care of” along the
way by senior citizens or-

medical help at every stop-
ping point, Grayston added.
