sung in less than that time.

The song was written by
Mildred and Patty Hill, two
sisters from Louisville, Ky. It
was first published in 1893
with words different from
those of the well-known ver-
sion.

The first authorized ver-
sion of the song with the
familiar wording was pub-
lished and copyrighted by the
Clayton F. Summy publish-
ing company of Chicago in
1985The copyright has re-
mained in force since then.

FREE IN 1996

Sister Patty, an emeritus
professor of education at
Columbia University in New
York died in 1946. Thus, the
copyright can be enforced
until at least 1996.

One of the most famous
lawsuits involving the song
occurred in 1984, when it was
performed without author-
ization in the Irving Berlin
musical revue As Thousands
Cheered.

The most frequent com-
mercial infringements were
made by the telegraph ser-
vice, Western Union, whose
employees sang it an es-
timated 1.5 million times be-
fore the company was forced
in the 1940s to stop using it
as a singing telegram.

The Summy company later
became Summy-Birchard
Music Ltd., which now is a
division of the Birch Tree and
the song has been passed on
with each move.

Royalties are paid to the
company by performing

lishers and its Canadian

y wants Nelson RCMP here

By RON NORMAN -
Editer

Castlegar council isn't going to take no for an answer —
at least not from the RCMP.

Council agreed Tuesday to ask the federal government
to reconsider an RCMP decision to construct a new sub-
division building in Nelson rather than move the subdivision
to Castlegar.

In a March 19 letter to RCMP provincial headquarters
in Vancouver, council requested the RCMP move the Nelson
subdivision to Castlegar.

However, T.S. Venner, Deputy Commissioner and
Commanding Officer for the RCMP’s E Division in
Vancouver, replied in a May 2 letter than the RCMP has
decided instead to remain in Nelson and construct a new

included in the new subdivision building. He added that the

BRIDG THE GA

Nelson rural detachment is experiencing similar problems to
those at the Castlegar detachment.

Castlegar's detachment building is considered inade-
quate and council is working on plans to construct a new
building.

However, council has postponed plans to build a new
detachment — estimated to cost about $1 million — this year
because of restraint measures, and hag not announced a firm
date for the building’s construction.

Venner cited six reasons for retaining the subdivision in
Nelson:

e he said relocation to Castlegar would disrupt
individuals, while the RCMP would have to pay relocation
expenses for some 30 members and their families.

relocation to Castlegar would alter the way the RCMP
is funded in Castlegar, forcing the RCMP to fund the
Castlegar detachment.

protective services committee
chairman, challenged the RCMP’s reasons.

“I think’ they're just giving a bunch of excuses,”
Pakula said.

He pointed out that Nelson is on the fringe of the area
covered by the subdivision and RCMP must travel through
Castlegar to reach many of the communities to which it
provides protection

It is “far more expensive” to operate the subdivision in
Nelson than in Castlegar, he said

Pakula added that the cost to construct a new tlegar
RCMP detachment to include the subdivision would not be
that much more than the cost of a new municipal de-
tachment.

And he said relocating the subdivision to Castlegar
wouldn't be that much of a disruption to the members.

Council will send letters asking for reconsideration of
the decision to Senator Jack Austin, the attorney general,
the solicitor general and the federal properties management
branch, as well as to Trail council.

Castlegar council is considering
charging residents for lighting fires
that burn out of control due to neglect

“It seems to be getting a little

council Tuesday.

Pakula said residents seem to be
lighting fires and then not looking after
them

“It's causing some concern,” he said.

Mayor Audrey Moore pointed out
that a “fair number” of B.C. munici
palities charge residents for careless
burning.

fast-food restaurant chain.

Rogers said Burger King has agreed to pull a $150,000
television commercial which parodied him and his Public Broad-
casting System show

Rogers said he called Don Dempsey, Burger King’s senior vice-
president for marketing, last Thursday and asked that the 30-second
spot which went on the air last week be pulled from the airwaves.

The commercial — with an imitator named Mr. Rodney
teaching his audience to say the word McFrying — was off the air
within 72 hours of Rogers's telephone call, said John Weir, a
spokesman for Miami-based Burger King.

‘Mr. Rogers is one guy you don’t want to mess with, as beloved

KINNAIRD HALL
CASTLEGAR — 7:00 P.M.

By CasNews Staff

For David Gairns, moving to Castlegar was a chance
not only to return to municipal government, but to live in
the Kootenays.

“['ve kind of had my eye on the Kootenays,”
city’s new administrator in an interview.

Gairns, who just turned 50 in January, has been on
the job just one week. He comes to the city with a strong
background in all levels of government — municipal,
territorial and federal.

Arid up to now, all of it in the north

Gairns was raised in the north before heading south
to Vancouver where he attended school for 10 years.

But the north holds something special for those who
have lived there, so after he finished his training in the
Lower Mainland Gairns returned to the Yukon.

From the time he returned in 1953, until 1971, Gairns
worked .for the federa] government — first with the
Ministry of National Defence and then with Northern
Affairs.

In 197] he left the federal government to take on the
duties of development officer for the city of Whitehorse, a
city of 15,000. .

said the

New administrator s

Gairns spent 10 years with the city, and then gave it
up in 1981 to work for the Yukon Territorial government
as director of municipal administration. From there, he
made his jump south to Castlegar.

“The north was good to us,” Gairns points out, *
it offers a lot of advantages.”

However, he’s just as quick to point out that there is
“lots of beautiful country that’s not in the north.”

“I'd put 39 years in there,” Gairns explains, adding
that the long, cold winters were a factor in his move.

“The idea of a longer summer season appeals to me,”
he said, expressing a little concern about Castlegar’s
reputation for hot summers.

Gairns said the Kootenays appealed to him more
than the Okanagan because of the smaller size of the
communities here.

Besides the need for a change of climate and
geography, Gairns says he was anxious to return to
municipal government.

“L really enjoy municipal government -
ways a challenge.”

He says decisions ‘have to be made almost on a daily
basis, and as city administrator he will be in direct

‘and

. there's al-

ettles in

contact with the public — unlike at the provincial level
where there is a more established bureaucracy

“The ability to get things done is fai
municipal level than at any other level

Gairns is fond of calling municipal level of govern

ment “real government.

In addition, he gays he is “impressed”

council.

“The whole thing has been very positive from the

outset,”

he explains.

It won't be as if Gairns will be a complete stranger to

greater at the

with the local

Castlegar. He says there are a number of former Yukon
residents here, including city worker Harold Babcock,
whose wife used to be the deputy city clerk in Whitehorse
when Gairns was there.

Gairns is married. His wife Phyllis will complete her
degree in social work at the University of Victoria this
year, and for the summer has landed a practicum position
at the local Ministry of Human Resources.

As for children, Gairns said they are all grown — one
