KBCC Undecided On Highway Name The Kootenay-Boundary Chambers of Commerce re- mained undecided last week whether Highway 3 should be named the Southern Trans- Canada or the Crowsnest 3 Highway. : The question has divided ghambers* of commerce across ‘ Western Canada in recent months, and prompted strong words at the weekend meeting in Salmo. } Holding its Tith annual meeting in the West Kootenay Village, the KBCC decided to stop pressing for the name Southern Trans-Canada until October. At that time a committee set up last year will report back toall chambers in southern B.C. and Alberta on how the high- MR.

The thing common ‘to all volunteers hinges on a “willingness to become involved”. It usually means giving up time you would normally spend with the family. It could mean giving up a favorite sport like golf or fi ishing. One thing for sure: you will not make any money at being a volunteer. - Be kind to a volunteer. These people are becoming a'rare species. They are usually ‘ungualified for the responsibility they assume, have no vested interest and will probably receive well intentioned criticism and plenty of hindsight advice. There are some advantages to being a volunteer. You can quit whenever the going gets tough and you don’t even have to give notice. If you do a particularly good job of the project you are usually honored by your fellow volunteers with the presidency, an office which will give you the privilege to ask your supporters to volunteer for next year's project. If they don’t you can always do the job yourself because by this time you are fully qualified and It isn't all work. You get a chance to socialize after the meetings, You get the chance to spend somebody else's money and to contract for services that will not personally burden you. And when you are resting in your rocking chair many years later and some young volunteer makes a speech about the 1990 Trade Fair then you can smile to yourself and say “Yes... 1 a for the duration should receive a solid round of applause for “doing a difficult job with enthustasm, intelligence and good cheer.

He bad been writing to the: government calling for official designation of Highway 3 with that title. At the same ‘time though, there was no official policy on what name to pursue, but Crowsnest 3 Highway is being considered. At a meeting in Alberta dast October of all chambers along the route, the Crowsnest 3 Highway committee was formed. It was given a year to study the naming and promo-. tion problem and report back.

If a person is caught in an avalanche, the best chance of survival depends upon the in- dividual’s own efforts to keep above flowing snow, and what companions can do to rescue him. If an avalanche victim is . buried for more than one-half hour, chances of survival are extremely slight. This limited -/time indleates how essential! it~ is that ski parties be fully equipped for self-rescue. Each member of a touring party should carry a-sectional probe. At least one collapsible shovel should be carried with a group—although skis can be used as digging instruments, . they are awkward and inef- ficient. First aid equipment should be carried as a matter of course + by every touring party. Attach- ments for converting a pair of skis to an emergency toboggan are also useful. With the relatively inexpensive PIEPS (Avalanche Beacon) available, there is little excuse .lo be without this valuable life- saving equipment. For your safety, the Parks Branch offers four basic rules applicable to travel through avalanche areas. Starting a New House this Year?
