Walsh, serving four years for armed robbery, and five other prisoners are the first residents of the prison. He came from William Head prison near, Victoria, When he walked in Tucsday, afler the processing and issuing of the green uniform, he and the others got lunch—roast beef and the trimmings. “The meal was great,” Walsh, 21, 6f Edmonton, said in an interview Wednesday. “No comparison with William Head.” > Not only was the roast beef good, il was eaten at the same table as slaff members. © Advertising= helps you find | exactly what you need, ““Man, al William Head you didn't even talk to them (staff members),” Walsh said. Heo said he expected the new surroundings will take some time lo yet used to bul much cusier to accept will the privacy behind the solid “door of his cell rather than the open, barred doors al William Head. Doug McBryan, 27, of Kamloops, 8.C., serving 4-1/2 years for trafficking in cocaine, arrived Wednesday from the regional receplion centre al the British Columbia Penitentiary. “IUs like a castle compared with the B.C.

Prisoners will work in industrial jobs in the prison under the guidance of a staff that is expected to reach 185, Prison officials expect the population to grow by about 25 prisoners a month until the full complement of 180 is reached, Convicts ‘will make their own rules for living in the resi- dences, Visitors will be per- mitted after regular work done hard time will think this is hours daily and on weekends, really a soft touch,” said Walsh, “You know, guys who have a guess il is."

Highlights from the report follow: Item: The regional popula- tion has expanded at a rate: significantly. below the pro- vincial average over the last 10 to 16 years, increasing by only 17 per cent compared to 94 per- cent for the whole . provincial population. (They are talking about the whole of the East and West ‘Kootenays—the Castle- gar are has done considerably better.) Item:, The forest industry has played a major role in the region's past history and‘ con- tinues to be a mainstay of the regional economy. Current em- ployment in-the industry is ap- including sawmilling, logging, and pulp milling. Employment in mining - and minerals declined in lead and zine but increased by almost the same numbers. in coal, so that the 7,000 job level t remained almost static. Item: ,The Kootenay region, with its numerous com- munities, appears to be en- dowed very well with most of the essential trade and service sector activities, . © x Item: Education and re- lated Service Item: “The role. of the Kootenays forestry sector may decline in'an absolute sense in the future if strong initiatives are not taken to encourage better wood utilization. Given the small potential volumes of unallocated regional wood sup- ply, there is little opportunity for- aga proportion of the labor force, is similar to that for the province as a whole. But the West Kootenays, because of Selkirk College and NDU, has a higher than. average “component: of educational services, including trades education. Item: For the, immediate future it:is expected that the population of the East Koot- enays will outstrip most growth figures in the province, This is because the development of many more coal mines is a certainty, limited only by what the railways, are capable of hauling. ‘They are looking at a possible additional 15 million tons of coal per year by 1990 with a job generation of some 5,000 positions in mining and another 7,000 to 10, 000 Jobs in >. the | service. sector.:/ SNOW REMOVAL -R-N-I-N-G “Notice is hereby given: that all Motor Vehicles must be off. the streets during snow removal or so parked that the main roadway is clear’ for snow plowing, Bylaws Nos. 72,.314 and 331 provide for. linpouceling of all Nebicles on \ the street during, ‘snow plowing. — at the owner's expanie, Some of the Sun Spots visited by our travel agents include The South Pacific, Caribbean, Canary Islands, Hawali and Mexico.

For. example, if all the major mines and hydro projects pro- - posed go ahead as planned, the construction labor force could reach 5,200 by 1980 and fall to 200 by 1983." * : Mr. “Little “hopes to com-. ment on this report next week, with particular emphasis on its * COMPLETE FINANCIAL SERVICE « INCLUDING ~ FREE CHEQUING Are Ro; cements ; ‘< SOUTH SLOCAN 359-7221 -20,000 New Ties Laid CP Rail's Pacific Region spent $77 ition in 1976 on its Transport Commission heard briefs from several! local parties the track, roadbed: and structures.
