Dear Sir: 607079"

Recently I had’ an “exper-
ience I think.’ your ‘readers
might be interested in.

Early onthe morning of
Dec. 16, my father, who is 62
years of age, had the mis-
fortune of falling down the
“basement stairs. , -

My “mother phoned a
‘doctor, the one person she felt
‘could help her. She was told by
him that:it was not, his'job to”
haul -my: Dad “out the
basement. see

She next phoned ‘me <in..~
Grail. When I. arrived;1 (called | 7°
another. doctor’: and was. ab- ©
solutely ‘stunned ‘tony receive’:

much the same satisfaction, He
asked me three times ‘how: old

my father was and if:we had Bf

any pain ‘killers,

All questions were punc-
tuated: with an’ unconcerned
“um... Very professional!

Neither “one — suggested an -

ambulance or.even to keep him
warm. <0!

T next called my doctor in
‘Trail who told me to call an
ambulance immediately and he
would have all’ arrangements
made when we arrived.

‘The result of this fall was
one shattered vertabrae, one
cracked vertabrae and a blood
pressure reading of over 200.

Trail are very lucky because {
have never been refused heip
no matter what time of night or
day. I'm sorry-I can't say the
- same for Castlegar.
Mrs, Secco,
2823 - 10th Ave.,
Trail, B.C.

I think the people here in

opened ‘up, many
buildings improved and new
buildings constructed. The
Kootenay*: Canal Project is

‘making’<:rapid progress and

work’ has been done on the
Missing Link. Y

Of the future she said, "We
‘as members of the chamber and
of the community should take
time to reflect on the course we
have taken and the course we
must take in the future. It is
vital that-.we as members of

chamber do this and perhaps 1°

should go one step further and

‘say it is vital for the community

as'a whole to do 50.”
“In speaking on the aims for
the new year of 1974, she spoke

+ of involvement in Expo '74 and
the: proximity of the City. of
3 ich promises to.

that we have a

s"dollar? flow: return in our

encouragement of visitors to

“Expo to travel to our area.”

She touched upon the
proposed Inland Gas line from

-Rossland:to Yahk which repre-

sents a $12-million venture,
“If approved, this will be a
very significant project in

terms of capital investment, .

employment, and community
benefits,” she’ said.
In conclusion she directed

the chamber to fully support

Letter to Editor

“Willing fo Represent New City

Dear Sir: i

Please. ‘permit me. to
respond to the letter by Mr. G,
Wilson printed in the Castlegar
Newa on Jan, 10,

His somewhat petulant
remarks Indicate a complete.
lack of knowledge and under-
standing of efforts and achleve-
ments of the entire Kinnaird
council, public works depart-
ment, library board, fire de-
partment, advisory planning
commission, and indeed, every
individual who has contributed
in any way during the past ©
years to the development of the
community.

T note that Mr. Wilson
gives his address as Castlegar,
which perhaps explains why he
is not aware that the citizens of °;
Kinnaird have been invited to'a
public meeting once a year. to":
receive annual reports from
individual ‘members’ of council
and. to express. their“ views*
directly on the manner in which
the town has been administered,

To mention a few of our
achievements during the past
four years let me cite:

Installation ofa fourth well
which averted a_ potentially, -
disastrous shortage: of: water
during the’ past. two summer
seasons; e

Transfer of maintenance
and costs, of the Kinnaird
overpass’ to” the highways
department, resulting in signi-
ficant ‘savings: to Kinnaird

Acquisition of some 22
acres of land from C.P. Rail for
