Snow tires or chains will not be required on highways in Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Kootenay, Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks after April 21, “Now that winter's heavy snows have melted from the roads, conditions are generally dry and safe through the parks on the Trans-Canada Highway, the Icefields Parkway, the Yellowhead Route and the Banff-Windermere Parkway,” sald William Turnbull, director of, Parks Canada’s western ‘region. But the snow hasn't gone from the backcountry yet. Deep snow and warm weather are producing a large number of potentially dangerous aval- anches, “The danger to travellers on mountain trails is extreme in parks such as Glacier and Kootenay where valleys are narrow and mountain slopes are steep,” said Mr. Turnbull. Establishment of a Nature Conservatory Area ‘A number of local cars and other vehicles have begun to appear with bumper stickers urging district residents to support the Valhalla Proposal. A strong backer of the plan, Gordon Pettitt of Castle- gar, explains the proposal is for. the of a “nature The Valhalla Proposal On the west the main divide of the Valhalla Range; on the east the westernmost ex- tant of alienated land and the shore of Slocan Lake north to " the height of land immediately north of Wee Sandy Creek; on the south the height of land conservatory area” on the west side of Slocan Lake in the Slocan Valley. The following is a deserip- tion’ of the area and isa condensation of a brief sub- mitted to the provincial Parks Branch in July 1974 by the late A. Eweson: . The West Kootenays, with thelr mountain ranges, glaciers, countless lakes of clear water, creeks, forests, and diversified flora and fauna, constitute an area of extraordinary aesthetic and recreational value. Grow- ing industria! development has led to a great increase in areas showing the scars of man's incursions. Thus it becomes urgent, while: there ‘is still the oppor- tunity to do so, to set aside a wilderness area to preserve north of Hoder Creek and extending south-east to the boundaries of alienated {and near Slocan; and the north the ridge immediately north of Wee Sandy Creek, extending from the dakeshore to the west boundary, The proposal area, which affords a succession of magnifi- cent views to travellers on Highway 6 on the east side of Slocan Lake, may be divided into three zones; the lakeshore, the major drainages and the alpine areas. The Jake frontage area, unique in the for its est settlement of the area. As early as 1907 there was suf- ficient interest to warrant the construction of two cabins for their convenience. All the valleys lead to spectacular alpine areas, Best known is the’Mulvey Lakes basin, focus of much activity by the Koofenay Mountaineering Club and others, No mineral deposits have been found in the region after over 70 years of prospecting. In the southern alpine areas, gneissic rock is overlaid with granite—the “clean rock", 50 favored by alpinists, Less than aix per cent of the area has high capability for forest productiv- ity; almost 80 per cent has poor or zero capability. The high capability sites at present’ support sparse im- mature mixed forest with many almost complete lack of devel- opment (the few privately- owned pieces of Innd are excluded from the proposal), is generally forested with mixed sane of immature timber, me burned over in he, 920s, High™avalatiche’ aa Ee “aaa aoe cam continue until early sum- mer if spring is slow In clearing the’ mountains of snow before another season of new growth LEGION BINGO Decorative Coarse little previous exploitation—are met superbly by a region of high mountainous terrain known as the Valhalla Range.

Gordon Yearsley, who has been. in- volved in the co-operative for the past 25 years, will lead a discussion on co-ops: their history; how they are organized; how they are formed; and, most important, why they can fail. If there is sufficient inter- est, further meetings will be held on other subjects which are of concern and interest to Castlegar’s future. There's a good chance that individuals who will be address- ing the Vancouver Conference will be making speaking tours of B.C. later in June, and Castlegar could well be one of their stopping places.
