Welfare and Recreation Society

the year previous, according to

annual meeting,

ccipts, Memberships rose from
507 in 1958 to 565 in 19359, The

The president welcomed the
large number present and ex-
Plained the purpose of the an-
nual meeting and the invitations
which went out to all beneficiary
groups, asking them to send a
representative to report on the
work accomplished by ‘them ‘and
for which they had asked and
received grants,

ments of $7,855 during the past
year,

The secretary's report, read

breakdown of percentages to the
various areas of the District, both
In revenue and expenditure,

Mr, Gray. also read the fin-
ancial report, audited by G. L.
Smibert of Kinnaird, This was
adopted by the meeting. This re-
port pointed out that as well as
making direct grants to organi-
zations the society acts as a col-
lection agency for many other
groups, turning over money col-
Iected through payroll deductions,
bank deductions, etc., thus mean-
ing a large turnover of funds
each year.

‘The meeting was chaired by’
president Earl LeRoy, who gave
his report on the preceding year
and expressed thanks to the KRC
directors for their help and co-
operotion, also those who had
done such a fine job of canvas-
sing for memberships and dona-
tions,

Mr, LeRoy also wished to
thank Cominco for its support,
and was pleased to draw atten-
tion to the cordial relationship
the group now enjoys with Com-

of the
president's address, he called for
representatives present to come
forward and report on activities
of their respective groups,

Mrs. Paut Ogiow,' secretary
of the Castlegar and District Fall
Fair Board, gave the first of
many interesting reports heard
during the evening.

Mrs, Oglow recounted brief-
ly the success of the 1959 Fall
Fair, Oastlegar’s 13th, and the
first to be held in the new arena,
Plans are already underway for
au even bigger and better event
and help given by KRC is much
appreciated,

Fall Fair directors were all
agreed the arena is the ideal lo-
cation for the fair and hope there
will be a floor laid in time to
hold it there in 1960.

Perhaps the newest benefic-
iary organization present, - the
‘Well Women's Clinic” was repre-

Horst, Soke of the anntr.l Red
Cross Blood Donor Clinic, .spon-
sored by Kiwanis, This is sced-
uled for June 13, he said, expres-
sing thanks for the financial help
each year by KRC which under-
writes the clinic expenses. He al-
so gave a brief resume of other
Kiwanis activities through the
year.

Bob Rivers, secretary of St.
Johns’ Ambulance Centre here,
reported -First Aid courses had
been given to 71 seniors, and 21
Juniors, a total of 92 for the past
year, As well as this there were
50 persons taking the Industrial
First Aid Course and using the
local centre's equipment, al-
though not directly affiliated,

Mr. Rivers stated the organi-
zation was most grateful for fi-
nancial aid received in the past,
and advised the directors regret-
fully that due to a shake-up in
administration at the coast, there
is much dissatisfaction with the
situation, which may cause local
first aid groups to “fold up" as
they will lose all control of their
own affairs,

A report on the’ ‘work of the
British and Foreign Bible ‘Soc-
ie'y was presented by Miss J.
Pennoyer . of the Gospel Taber-

nacle.
yn the

of Silver Birch School, operated
by the Castlegar Branch of the
Kootenay Society for Handicap-
ped Children, Mrs. J. Macbeth
told the meeting that their grant
from KRC welfare society had
been of “vital importance,” There
was a time last year when the
situation looked very gloomy.

The school now has several
new pupils, the total. number be-
ing seven, It is hoped to have an
assistant for the teacher, Mrs.
Palsson, as even though they
seem few in numbers these chil-
dren require-Tiuch individual at-
tention. Mrs, Palsson had recent-
ly visited the Woodlands School,
coming home with a wealth of
new ideas and plans for the chil-
dren.

Harry Bate gave the report
of the Boy Scouts Association,
covering also the various Cub
packs in the District, Mr, Bate
said there are 40 Scouts at pre-
sent, and in Castlegar a 2nd troop
is being started, Altogether there
are 170 persons active in Scout-
ing activities, he said in giving
an outline of staff, numbers of
troops and packs, ete,

Miss Pennoyer said the Soc-

(Mr. Lamphéar said visitors

Mrs. J. Raine, who represe!
ted the Robson Recreation So
iety, said the Hall is always busy
in Robson, many youth activities
going on all the time. The group
is very grateful to KRC for the
annual grant. which helps them
to carry out their projects. The
weekly Teen dances are very po-
pular and are well supervised,
she said,

Speaking for the Kinnaird
Improvement — Society, : George
Jackson: voiced the opinion: the
work of the KRC was in part re-
for the fine record in

the Kootenay-Columbia Minor
Hockey League, About 200

had been i
in this league, but all knew the
difficulties of having ice,

They had also sponsored se-
nior men's basketball and bad-,
minton, and Minor League base-
ball which had 200 to 400 boys
participating, He felt theré
should be more interest and par-
ticipation by dulled in this youth
work,

An interesting report on the
activities of the Girl Guides came
from Mrs.-R. MacBain, wha re-
marked she feels the training to
be the finest a girl could receive,
She took pride in telling of the
local Guides being the 2nd _lar-
gest in the Columbia Division,
larger than Trail proper, or Ross-
land,

this area as far as delinquency
is concerned, He felt after listen-
ing to so many reports of acti’
ities for the young people that
the various organizations are
really trying to find things to
keep the young people busy, and
in this are aided by the KRC
Brants,

Mr, Jackson went on to re-
port on the welfard work carried
out in, Kinnaird, the Christmas
cheer committee,.and the services
of the library’ committee, which
is spending-the entire grant re-
ceived for new books,

The KIS, is endeavoring to
aid all community organizations
by making the hall available for
their activities,.he said, ‘Teen-age
dances, which continue to be po-
pular in Kinnaird, are run by
very capable committees and are
as ever, he felt.

a
both stress “service to others”

‘as their motto and the organiza-
tlon is greatful for the grants re-
ceived from the RC each year
to make the training and service
program possible, Mrs, MacBain

had many interesting things to
tell of the work the girls are
doing all along although few

Mrs. W. Easton gave the re-
port of the Castlegar -Welfare

the local -IODE and distributes
