Editor, Castlegar News:

On July 1,. Canada cele-.
«brated its.110th birthday and

our federal government, liberal
with taxpayers’. money. spent
$3.5 million to make aure that
for one day at least people could
be aware that they belong to
the same country.

On-the same day the Black-
foot Indians in Alberta gather-
ed together to remember 100
years of oppression since
Treaty 7 was imposed on them.

‘In the. words of E, A.
Meredith, then Under Secre-
tary of States for the Provinces
in his letter to the Lieutenant
Governor of the Northwest
August 4, 1870,

An is also ex-
tended to anyone in Castlegar
interested in learning more
about Meals on Wheels or
Homemakers or who would
simply like to meet people
involyed in such work. °

Trail’s Ideal Mine
Is Facing Shutdown

Often described as’ an
3 ideal mine”, Cominco's H.B.
}has about a year-and-a-half's
wworth of ore left in it.
+° That éstimate came from
: ‘ the company's manager of out-
‘side mines, Keith Meyer, who
j called the H.B. “the safest and
: offe of the best-run of any mine
: : in British Columbia.”
:_Inaninterview at his office
tin Trail, Mr. Moyer said the
+ HB. will likely begin a phased
+ shutdown toward the end*of

, “Our exploration program
iat the H.B., which has been
+r going on since the mine re-
:opened in 1973, has turned up
some additional ore", he said.
<“We're doing. some surface
‘drilling close to the H.B, to
‘ensure that no ore pockets have
‘been overlooked, but it is un-
“likely that it will add to the life
tof the mine.”
' He said the HB: has
testablighed -a safety record
second to none, having won the
prestigious Ryan Award for
mine safety more times than
‘aly other mine in B.C. The
‘HB’'s mine, rescue team als...
achieved. national ‘recognition
last year by. winning the
Dominion Mine Rescue Cham-
pionship.
3 Mr. Meyer pointed out that

in 1978, the estimated life of the
HLB. was two-and-a-half years.

“The fact that the mine has
surpassed the original estimate
is a credit to effective explora:
tion and excellent management.
by those at the property”, he,
said. “The safe and economic
operation of the HB. can only
be attributed to the skill and
positive attitude of all em-
ployees there. Without doubt,
they're an exceptional group of,
‘people.”

The zinc-lead orebody was
staked in 1910 by P. F. Horton
and J. A. Benson, from whose
initials the mine received its,
name. A year later, Cominco—
then called The Consolidated

- Mining and Smelting Company

of Canada, Ltd.—bought it and '
carried on intermittent de-
velopment work until 1946.

An extensive diamond-
drilling program was initiated,

followed by underground ex-

ploration and construction of a
1,000-ton-per-day mill in 1953.
Low metal prices held up pro-
duction until 1955.

In 1966 the cyclical nature

.,of the. industry showed itself,
“again—metal prices slumped
and the mine had to be shut
down. In 1973 the metals
market strengthened ‘and the
mine re-opened.

five person board of directors.
Homemakers, who receive
careful training in ‘various
skills, go into homes where
there is a need—be it short or

long term—for, assistance in’

such areas as meal preparation,
personal or child care and light
hosekeeping.

Meals on Wheels has been
in existance for only a year in
Castlegar and has been very
well received and supported by
the. community. The service
averages about 10 meals de-
livered per day, three days a
week. Approximately 60 volun- °
teers have offered their ser-
vices to deliver the meals which
are prepared in the Castlegar
and District Hospital by food
supervisor Hans Augustin and
his staff.

All those who attended the

Rally last year will remember. :

how much they enjoyed’ the
event. Mrs. Jean Brady, a

‘board member, is hoping that-

this year’s gathering will be at
least, as successful, and will
introduce still more community

members to the valuable ser-

vices.

“Castlegar Socials.

treaties were to be signed with
the Indians “for the removal of
any obstructions that might be -
presented to the flow of popula:
tion into the fertile lands that
lie between Manitoba and the
rocky Mountains.”
Wherever minerals or oil

‘ga ~ were discovered treaties were

‘introduced and the Indians had
a choice: lose their land with a
treaty or lose it without one.

In 1977 the situation has
not changed: native people are
still treated as an impediment

to be removed or eliminated so
that the glorious goals of the
White Man's Progress and
Civilization can be achieved.’

In the North of Canada, in
Yukon and the MacKenzie Val-
ley, our last “frontier”, native
people are engulfed in a battle
for survival, ina struggle which
has at its heart their quest for
self-determination within their
homeland.

The Berger. report, the de-
cision by the National Energy
Board of Canada to reject the
MacKenzie Valley pipeline pro-
posal are small victories won by

- the Dene, but now the Yukon

Indians are facing the bull-
dozers. *
In their turn they have.
made it: clear to. the Lysyk
inquiry commission which is
stampeding through the. ter
ritory that they will oppose the
construction of the Alcan pipe-
line as long as their land claims

are not settled and they have

not regained some control over
their destinies.

ty is ‘ffeted
to Mr. Trudeau to make this
dream come true in the North!

Instead of spending billions
* of dollars to build a pipeline to
bring Alaska natural gas to the
United States.only, those bil-
lions could be injected in the
North for the benefit of the
people of the North and not for
the ‘profits of multinational
corporations. a

As the Hawthorn-Trem-
blay report pointed out to the
federal government a few years
ago, Indian communities suffer
from a lack of capital invest-
ment. This maintains the mu-
tually reinforcing patterns of
poor education, poor employ-
ment, poor housing, poor
health, poor work and al-
.coholism.

+ Ifa part of the problem is
lack of capital, a logical way to
settle native land claims would

: be to envisage economic and.

social development. programs
for native. communities com-

bined: with resource: develop- *

ment. The Alaska settlement is
of this type...

It is interesting to notice’:
that in 1971, Mr. Lysyk wrote
an article on “Approaches to

Senior Citizens A and
was. attended by approximately
100 persons, representing sev-
eral parts of the region. Games -
and contests were held during
the afterriooh with, many prize
winners,

At the picnic the long
tables were ladened with var-
ied dishes of food provided by
all the ladies present, resulting
in a delicious buffett luncheon.
Thanks have been extended to
the Nelson Branch for pro-
viding all the gallons of tea and

spent $200 or more a month to. °
heat their homes with ‘expen-

port oil from Vi Why
are heating ‘bills so high back
East? Simply because there is |
no pipelitie to bring Alberta oil
or natural gas east of the Ot-
tawa Valley, because until 1973
it was’ cheaper to import oil .
than to build a pipeline.

Since then, well, I am not
too sure how fast this pipeline
has been moving. There is pro-
bably no money and it would be
an inflationary project, and who
needs such a pipeline anyway?

Eastern Canadians?—they
will have to wait a little longer.
We have higher priorities. Our
American friends may freeze in
the dark if we do not help them
to build their pipeline across
our country, and they control
all our economy, so we have no
choice. 2
Still, another .way to
strengthen Canada is to build a
pipeline West-East, ‘not North-
South. Its direction will soon be
a good weathervane to show us
how, sincere P. E. Trudeau is
about aenapal and unity.
