Dam Area Tourist Road Worth Thought

Visitors on the actual site of where
work is being carried out on the Arrow
dam project cannot help but be impressed
with the tremendous amount of work that
has been carried out—work that is not
fully visible from the tourist viewpoint

Fishery Story Apt

We commend the series of articles

we are presently carrying on the Arrow
Lakes fishery to the attention of. our
readers. The series, written by Field and
Stream columnist Jack White, is well
researched, well thought out, and most-

certainly pertinent.

Mr. White has long been active with
the local Wildlife Association and is pre-
sident of the West Kootenay Zone of Rod
and Gun: Clubs. He is thus well qualified :

to write on this subject.

Back copies of Jack White's articles
are available from this newspaper upon
request as long as the’ supply lasts.
