‘Dear Sir:

T would like to add a word
o the recent article which
xpressed concern that local
Itizens can no longer show
igheir TV programs over cable-
ision, because Community Vi-
eo seems unwilling to co-
perate in.such a venture...

“produce several programs that
were shown on the local chan-_
Shel, with children, young peo- ©
le, and several adults. The
ime I have spent on these
rograms has been small, com-
‘pared with several other mem-
thers of our community.

Kootenay Canal will be the
first of the several hydro-

placed in service in 1978,

A third hydro-electric dev-
elopment in the Kootenays is
just starting at Seven Mile site
on the Pend d'Oreille River,
some 12 miles southeast of

Here a 215-foot-high con-
crete dam and a powerhouse
will be constructed for run-of-
theriver operation. The gener-
ating plant will lake advantage

‘The Seven Mile project is
unique in that it will provide a
higher power yield for each
acre Mooded than for any other
potential site in British Colum-

Ultimately the Seven Mile
plant will have a generating
capacity of 700,000 kilowatts in
four units, It will flood only

Talsoagree with the article
that,‘ because of ‘the high

should, from its very high
profits, place some equipment,
perhaps even an adequate

of the community.

afford to hire someone to aid in

Two Charges
OF Failing
To Yield Laid

Two accidents on Wednes-
day of last week, one in this
cily, and the other about seven
mites east at Thrums, caused an
estimated $3,600 damage.

P have laid two
charges of failing to yield to
oncoming ‘traffic.

accident near Thrums
involved Mabel Kinakin, of
‘Thrums and Anne Bayoff, also
of Thrums. Total damage to the
vehicles was $2,500, Ms. Kina-
kin was charged by Castlegar
ROMP.

The incident in the city
saw Douglas Bentley charged
by RCMP. Operator of the
other vehicle was Catherine
Kruetsky. Both are of Kinnaird.
Vehicle damage was estimated
at $1,100.

An RCMP spokesman said
road conditions were icy at the
time of both collisions, and that
only very minor injuries were,
reported.

Question:

Is pink grapefruit a better
buy than white?
Answer:

Pink grapefruit has no
more nutritional value than
white, but sometimes it costs
more. Regardless of skin color,
choose citrus fruits with thin
skins when buying by weight,
as you receive proportionately
more flesh and juice than with a
thick-skinned item.

Question: s
TV commercial stated
that french fried potatocs are a

good source of Vitamin C. Since.

potatoes are cheaper than
citrus fruit juices, could I use

. potatoes to provide my family

with their daily Vitamin C
requirement?
Answer:

8 compared to citrus
fruits and their juices, which
have an excellent Vitamin C
content of 100 to 124 mg/cup,
potatoes have only 12 to 22
mg/cup. Also, some of the
vilamin content of the patotoes
is lost during storage, prepara-
tion and cooking-

With these unknown losses
and-the low initial Vitamin C
content. of potatoes there is no
way of knowing the remaining
vitamin content in the french
fries you may buy. Considering
food value for money spent. you
should continue serving citrus
fruit juices as your family’s
main Vitamin © food source.

Unlike ice‘dscani which ts

Although this combination
actually increases the calories
and decreases the Vitamin D
content of ice-milk, the fat

fact important to anyone wish-
ing to decrease his fat intake.
