Pioneers Honored al Banquet H. Whitehouse offering pioneers

The Robson Community Hall
wus a busy place Friday evening
when the Robson Women's In-
stitute sponsored a banquet for
“nbout 45" District oaldtimer's
and their wives and husbands.

Just over 100 persons sat
down to a supper in honor of!
the pioneers of the District who
are responsible for the com-
munities of today.

W. F. Shkwarok, chairman
for the evening, proposed a toast
to the Queen and called on Mrs.
W. T. Waldie, president of the
Women's Institute to say a few
words’ of welcome on behalf of
the . institute,

Mrs. Waldie noted that the
bell that was being used at the
table was the original bell used
in the hotel to call guests to
meals and had been loaned for
the evening by Mrs, James
Martin.

Mrs. Martin was the only

one present who had been in

Robson before 1900. :

0. B, Ballard, chairman of
the Robson ‘Centennial com-
mittee spoke and read from a
prospectus “The Finest Fruit-
land, Robson,.The Cream of the
Kootenays.”.

In this prospectus there: are
32 reasons why Robson was the
place to live, such as “because
the land is best,’ because the
location is best, because every-
one who buys is delighted with
his purchase, because the river

runs past the door, ‘because the].

railroad runs past the door, be-
cause the boat runs every day,
because there is unlimited wood
supply, and so on. .
In 1904, 1905 and 1906 the
highest temperature was 94.
Mr. Shkwarok then intro-|
duced the first Castlegar baby,
Mrs, George Craft. Miss Shar-
on Wylie proposed a toast to
the ploneers,
Mr. Ballard read a telegram

‘yecelved from Mr. and Mrs. J,

congratulations, Mr. and Mrs,
Whitehouse were the first couple
married in Robson.
Sharon Wylie and Mrs,,Dun-
ican assisted Mr. Shkwarok in
presenting Centennial scrolls ‘o
the pioneers who each spoke a
few words.
Mrs. J. Martin was first to

be presented with her scroll as
she had lived the longest, arriv-
ing in Robson in 1896 and had
been out of the district for five
years from 1915 to 1920.
James Fowler of Vancouver,
oldest pionecr present, asked
his son to speak for him and
to present 2 gavel and ash tray
which he had made for public
use in Robson, Mr, Fowler was
thanked for his gift.
Entertainment included Mrs.
Helen McLeod dressed in olden-
day. clothes singing two solos.
A group of Mrs. L. Zinio’s
pupils. entertained with songs
and dancing.

THE KIMBERLEYS, Dick and Shella, are classed as “a
show in themselves” and will be appearing with Mart
Kenney and his Wi Gentl in Cast Wed

in
day. Acclaimed as one of the most versatile and enter-
taining acts in show business today, the Kimberleys spec-
ialize in songs with piano, impressons, comedy routines
and instrumentals.

Village Appoints Town Planners

Associated Engineers have
‘been appointed’ town planners for
Castlegar to carry out phase one
of a two-part study of planning
for Castlegar.

The company, in a brief to
the Castlegar council, said “plan-
ning in Castlegar should be un-
dertaken in two phases: phase
one containing plans and provi-
sions for the village under pre-
sent circumstances; phase two!
providing for expansion“ accord-
ing to anticipated housing de-
mands brought about by future
industrial development of the
Celgar company.

“¥"¢ should be noted that

noon by plane... ... -

phase one would include stu-
te

out phase two, and that gen-
erally phase two is only pos-
sible on the basis of phase
one.”

Planning which would be
carried out under phase one
would include:

exisisting streets, proposed loca-
tion of new streets, and preli-
minary layout of streets in areas
considered for annexation;

there should be an overall sur-
face drainage study, sewage dis-
posal study, and water supply
study “to support development
policy as well as to allow effi-
cient and economic implement-
ing of plans.”

Phase two of ‘the planning
would allow for the expansion
of Castlegar and would include:
— assessment of the effect of
expansion on municipal utilities
and services;

— proposals for newly re-
quired: utilities, services and
community facilities;

— adjustment of develop-
ment regulations then in effect
to mew areas;

— detailed Jayout and plans
for expansion areas.
Associated Engineers say the
cost of phase one will be “not
more than $2,000... not includ-
ing engineering studies which
are already provided for."
They say it “would be very
difficult at this time to set a
fee" for phase two.

Celgar fo Employ 325
Men By Early 1961

{continued from page one)
permanent employment figures
which our development wouid
bring into the Castiegar District
in the near future.
You and Mr. Wren, in your
water and sewrage disposal sur-
vey, were not concerned with
temporary employment such as
construction workers.

I mentioned that, to the best
of our knowledge, to date Ccl-
gar employees of the pulp mill
by. early 1961 would be some

* 925; and that there was a good
possibilty that” another 100
men would also be employed
a year before om after this
date. :

It_was pointed-out that it

was difficult to evaluate these
émployment figures as we had
no way of ascertaining how many
of the present residents of the
Castlegar District would be in-
cluded in these .numbers, or
where new employees coming to
work for us would reside.
As we have mentioned, on
several occasions, ‘it is not Cel-
gar’s policy to create a company
town.
It is fully realized that the
above information is not of too
much assistance to you, and for
that reason we thought it would
be better to wait a few weeks
in order to cover other matters
of mutual interest, though we
had not discussed ‘them at, our
mecting of July 21, nor had we
been requested to do so,
When I mect you and Mr.
Oglow on Sept. 4 or 5, it is our
hope that arrangements: can be
made for several of our senior
administrative and technical of-
ficials to meet with the council
cr other representatives.

I feel sure that certain re-

marks made at recent council
meetings are due not to under-
standing the situation, and as
such I will have to take some
share of the blame.

Commissioner R, Maddocks
sees 200 new homes in Castlegar
as a result of Celgar’s mention
of 325 men by 1961.

He said, that to his mind,
mention of “about 300 men is
going to mean another 200 hom-
es in Castlegar and so now we've
got something to go on.”

In reference to Mr. Bar-
clay’s letter, Mr.-Maddocks said

tion we're looking for . . it's
