One Opportunity Only to See
Popular Charley Pride af PNE

But for a twist of fate,
Charley Pride might today
have been a major league
baseball player, or a blues
singer, or perhaps even a
laborer in the cotton fields of
Mississippi.

But because one night: he
sang for kicks over the baseball
park public address system,
and because two established
country singers happened to
hear him while passing through

town, Charley Pride became a’

singing star.

Charley Pride appears in
person for one show only at the
Pacific National Exhibition. He
is but one of the array of great
talent in the Star Spectacular
series at this year's fair which
goes until Sept. 3.

Silverton Woman
Receives Minor
Injuries Tuesday

A 23-year-old Silverton
woman was taken to Castlegar
and District Hospital by ambu-
lance early Tuesday morning
following a single-car accident
north of the Pass Creek
Junction near the Brilliant
School.

Police report Miss Patricia

. Navett sustained minor injuries

A spokesman for the

.; Castlegar RCMP, « which - re-
24

ceived the call at 1:45 a.m.,
stated’the vehicle, driven by
Ronald Mackereth, 23,° of
Robson, went out of control,
crossed the road and came to
test against a utility pole.

Damage to the vehicle is
estimated at $500.

The incident is still under
investigation.

SEES

Charley Pride hit the
jackpot when his second
single—his first was only a
moderate success—Just Be-
tween You and Me became a
hit, From then on, it was a
rapid climb to star status with
seven of his LP's becoming gold
records,

Along the way, he has
collected a den full of awards;
Entertainer of the Year in 1971,
an honor bestowed by the
Country Music Association; and
Male Vocalist of the Year: in
1971 and 1972. Charley has also
won two Grammys from tne
prestigious National Academy
af Recording Arts and Sciences.

Charley Pride was born in
Sledge, Miss., the heart of the
blues country. At 14 he taught
himself to play the guitar and
decided he liked country music
much better than blues.

Charley was good enough a
baseball player to warrant a
tryout with California Angels of
the American League in 1961.
He had apprenticed for years in
the minor leagues with Detroit,
Memphis and the Birmingham
Black Barons of the Negro
American League.

He was playing semi-pro
ball in East Helena, Mont. when
he performed his solo at the ball
park. Red: Sovine and the late
Red Foley advised Charley to
head for ‘Nashville, and Chet

Atkins recognized his' talent by -

signing him to a. recording
contract.

Like all the great country
stars, Charley was invited to
debut at the Grand Ole Opry,
and was further honored by
being introduced by his life-
long idol Ernest Tubb.

“Thriving Brick Works Was Once Sited
‘An the Boundaries of the Town of Casflegar

“By Harold Webber
Local rian
Except for a‘ few broken
| bricks lying on the riverbank a

m short distance west of the

, Castlegar ferries, and bits and
\pleces of rusted machinery
; almost obscured by time and
nature, there is little evidence
to indicate that the site now
occupied by small cabins and
| trailers was once the location of
‘the Castlegar Brick Works.

The brick works actually
had its beginning in Rossland
around 1901, when the partner-
ship of Erick Fors and
Alexander Larson located their

brick yard close to that city,

near the Red Mountain Railway

tracks and adjacent to the OK
ine,

They operated in Rossland
for only two years, as the clay
there was not well suited for
brick making. They moved to

| West Robson, where they made
brick for Nelson, Trail, Ross-
lahd and other re Kootenay and
Boundary poi

The British ‘Columbia Dir-
ectory lists:

Fors, Eric, Brick manufac-

Wm turer; Fors, Utrick, Brick mak-

er; Larson, Alex, Brick manu-
facturer.

The 1905 Directory re-
mains the same but an increase
in business is reflected in the
listing of the 1910 Directory:

Castlegar Brick Works—
Alex Larson and Eric Fors,
props.; Ericson, Oscar Em-
ployee; Fors, Gotric Employee;
Johnson, Peter F. Employee;
Nelson, Alfred Employee.

There is no mention

whatever of this firm, or its.

Irish employees, in the 1918
directory.

scar Ericson, who had
quit his jg job with the Canadian
Pacific Railway to become head
sander, was well known in the

P area ‘as an amateur ‘sharp

shooter. -

The raw material for
making the bricks was close at
hand as the clay was dug from
the river banks less than
one-half mile from the yard,
The clay was loaded into a
two-wheeled dump cart that
was horse-drawn.

The horse wore a apecially-
fitted saddle take the
displacement of weight evenly
and a spring that was close at
hand supplied all necessary
water. This spring still supplies
domestic water to the cabins
now on the site,

The clay would be shovel-
led into the top of a hopper on
the brick machine. Beneath the
hopper was a mixer .that
amalgamated the water and
clay. The machine itself was
powered by a brute of a horse
the last one believed to have
been a Clydesdale, that was
attached to a 30-foot pole, the
other end of which was
attached toa large wheel on the
outside of the mixer,

As the horse walked
around the machine it would set
in motion the wheel, which in
turn was geared to the mixer.
At the bottom of the machine
were trays of moulds that could
form six to eight bricks on each
tray. After the materials were
mixed, the clay was squeezed

Breok-In

Break-in and entry of
Junction Gulf on 7th Ave. in
Kinnaird is reported to have
resulted in a Toss of $115 in
cash,

Discovery of the entry,

(which was made by smashing a.

window in the front door, was

made at 4:30 Tuesday morning’

during a regular patrol by local
RCMP.

The incident is still under
investigation,

down through the machine and
into the moulds.

“As each tray was filled, it
would be removed and another
empty one inserted. This was a
continuing process. ‘The trays
were then placed on large flat,
two-wheeled barrows and were
moved to a drying area. After
the bricks became firm, they
were placed inside a kiln for
baking.

The bricks were stacked
until they resembled a square
building. Cordwood was then
placed between the rows of
bricks as well as against the
perimeter and they were all set
ablaze,

The firing of these kilns
seems to have created a social
interest, as the residents of
Robson and Castlegar came out
in force to view the spectacular

When the brick yard was
in operation, the CPR had a rail
spur going right-into the yard.
The finished bricks would then
be loaded onto box cars for
shipment to customers. At the

‘end of the rail spur were the

only structures on the site, the
cookhouse and Alex Larson's
quarters.

Around 1910 Eric Fors
traded his interest in the
business to Larson for 21 acres
near Thrums. Fors cleared this
land, planted fruit trees and
later sold it for $11,000, With
this sum and other money he
made from the brick-making
business, he retired to Nelson,
where he purchased a fine
home and, with his sister as
housekeeper, he settled into a
pleasant life. ‘»

Alex Larson ‘operated the
brick works until the spring of
1912, when he sold the
business to Oscar Fors (Eric's
brother). Larson and his wife
then left Castl to make

their home in Cuba.

It was sometime during
the first week in May, 1912.
Eric was standing on the
brick-making machine examin-
ing something inside the
hopper. What happened next is
unexplainable, as years of
experience should never have
let it happen. The machine was
being operated and the wheel
that was perpetually turned by
the horse somehow caught Fors
and he was crushed beneath it.

The Rossland Miner's edi-
tion of May 25, 1912 succinctly
states: “...through a mo-
ment’s careless inattention, he
was accidently killed, and at a
time when he was in a position
to enjoy life, as he had a snug
fortune and the leisure to
devote himself to what pleased
him most.”

The brick yard continued
to operate until about 1916
when the property was sold to
Tony DeFoe. The machinery
was'sold.for scrap and the land
was used for real estate

Exhibition, now underway.

They are doing two shows
on weekdays, and: three on
weekends and holidays—all

Leigh Heisinger and his

wife, the former Nancy Har-
rison, are both aware of the
dangers inherent in their
vocation, So far they have been
lucky, the worst injury being a
concussion suffered by Nancy
in 1964,
Leigh originally performed
solo on the space wheel by
using a complicated system of
counterweights. He met Nancy
while both were students at
Florida State in 1960, They
were married, and have been
partners on the space wheel
ever since,

Medical
Value in
Fir Bork

The bark of Douglas Fir is i

one of the richest sources of
Flavonoid substitutes, which
are believed to have medicinal
value in the healing of radiation
burns and frost bites. They also
are excellent anti-oxidents for
preventing fats and oils from

_ turning rancid.

The bark has. also been
used in soil conditioners and
when turned into a plastic can
be molded into such items as

telephones and, phono records..

are continuously working to
find new ways of utilizing wood
