Ripple Rock, the notorious underwater mountain was first charted by Captain George Van- couver in the vessel Discovery in 1792, Records disclose that the Bri- lish explorer was more concerned with the hostile Yuculta Indians who lined the east side of 2,500- foot-wide Seymour Narrows than with the dangerous rock that ast 4 within the narrows. He named the channel Yu- culta Channel after the Indians. It was later renamed Seymour Narrows for Sir William Sey- mour, a Royal Navy commander, |: The narrows with the twin. peaked rock that set up whirl- pools big enough to swallow a fishing boat, has been used by shipping since about 1875. It is on the main Inside Passage shipping route between Puget Sound and Alaska and some 2,000 large ships and many smaller ones pass through each year. They carry on annual estimated load of 175,000 passengers and $100,000,000 worth of cargo. Ripple Rock was a men- ace to every trip. Since the early days it is est- severely damaged at Jeast 20 large ships and hundreds of smaller ones and taken 124 lives. One of the latest wrecks was that Father & Son Banquet (continued from page 1) and Mrs, Ed Killough in Van- couver, Ensuing investiture ceremon- ies saw Arnie Reinsbakken and Glen Shuttleworth become ‘Ten- derfeet’;. receive the Provincial Emblem, the Ist Castlegar Troop tab, and Patrol shoulder knots, They are now full scouts, A short program of 4 skits of the Ci survey ship William A Stewart which holed herself on the rock while taking soundings there in 1948, She suffered - $500,000 damage. Proposals to remove Ripple Rock have ranged all the way from suggesting it be bombed from the. air, torpedoed, and shattered with big mortars from shore. One senator even sug- ested it be pulverized with an omic bomb, In 1931 a department of marine commission heard repre- sentations from Vancouver ship- owners for removal of the rock. But Victoria industrialists didn't favor: removal seeing the rock as the only suitable foundation for a bridge across the narrows to link Vancouver Island with the mainland. was by Lindsay An- derson, Ist Cub Pack, Jerry Ar- gatsoff, 2nd Cubs, Walter Peachy of 18 Cubs and John Mason of 2nd Cubs, Campfire cdremonies ware officially opened by Alene Le- Roy, Assistant Cub Master, Ist Cub Pack and was ably con- ducted by Loyd Groutage.

When we approach ‘ the B building from the Columbia Avenue side we will of course think it is-a pity to have so much gravel and sand about, but "we shouldn't look at it that way —we must picture. it as it will .be when the landscaping project ‘planned by the Centennial i Committee has been carried out. The C.M. & S. Company has of- fered trees.and shrubs and there will. be smooth lawns of green velvet stretching out and around the building, ", into ,the corner formed | by. the L shape of the building. This will mean that the patients in the main wing and: the *-maternity wing will look out of their windows to a rastful visit-:backed by a view of the mountains which is un: surpassed, Of course it may take a little while for the grass to grow, but it willl emonies, when the Castlegar and District Hospital is open for our inspection, we will have an op- portunity to see what this dream has turned into, and from the minute we enter the lobby with its mahogany panelling’ and comfortable chairs, to the time we take our leave via the base- ment door, ‘having scen the Whole dream, we are going to know it is a good dream. The mahogany paneling is repeated in the offices and the Board room, 2 rich. Well, after the official cer-|- small plaques informing all and sundry ‘who donated what!’ These are the donations from individauls rather than organ- izations, or they represent - gifts not earmarked for any particu- lar purpose. - For those who belong. to organizations or clubs who have made red-brown shade of wood, more beautiful for its simplicity. In the waiting room there Js to be a special panel of ven- wards or equipment, there will be the thrill ‘of seeing the plaque in. place, ‘suitably inscribed’. Mostly everybedy will be look- eer on which will be mounted ing for these plaques, we ven- ture to say. 3 Locking in through the open doors of the wards along the corridor we-can see the beds set up with. their fresh white spreads, and wool bed- throws, lending a contrasting note of colour. Some of the rooms will have chairs with green curtain track in the wards. The interesting room we are looking in now is the Chil- dren’s Ward, The best thing here, we think is that there is’ a grand view of the ‘Airport, and what. child does not get a thrill out of watching a plane come in or take off? It should be a plea- sant place to Do you and others will be red. Fixtures will be entone. Walls ‘sre deli- cate pastel shades and vary from room to room. We might take a cleser look here at the tricky suppose we could have beds, by the window? We will go past the Nurses’ station and we can have a look are lovely rooms, and have the most breathtaking view, looking up the Keotenay River Valley. Lots of folks in Castlegar would never have realized there was such a view here, but framed through these windows it is per- fect. We had better not expect to go through the operating rcom, there are too many fragile and expensive instruments in there for us to be trusted with, but we will probably be able to peek in through the docr. We forgot to look in the Nursery, so we'll go back and look through the big glass panels at the eight bassinetts waiting for Castlegar’s Centennial Babies —pink or blue? Next to the nursery is a fascinating, little, cubicle for preparing formulas, tea and cookies, and to get there we'll go past the shaft where the elevator will go when the second storey is built sometime and have a tock at the staff dining-room, | There is a wonderful table’ in here for keeping food warm until it goes into the dumb- waiter to be raised to the ground floor, This table has several re- cessed compartments in which food is kept warm by steam-un- derncath, There is a dish wash~ ing mechine here too, and alt the other kitchen equipment which we might imagine a hospi- tal needs and. more besides. In the laundry there are two big automatic: machines ‘ that. don’t look like washing machines. but they ere. One is for wash- ing clothes and othe other is for and ithas a tor for the batteries of bottles which will be necessary to keep these future citizens happy. The X-ray machine ‘is set up, if we peer around the corner into that green room over there we can see its familiar shape. The small room next is the dark room Where the plates will be read, We can go downstairs now, down the maternity wing. These the Ladies Auxiliary is serving i them dry, woclen blankets and so on. I don’t think there is much left to see down here, the boiler room is over that way, and there is another room over there that we won't go into, then tak- ing our leave by the basement door we will have seen most of everything. Has it nct turned out to be a worthwhile dream? To Officiate The, Honourable Eric Martin, -Minister of Health and, ‘Welfare, will officiate at the opening of the Castlegar and District Hospital at 2:00 p:m. on econo caine 19.
