Soroptimist Club
Holds First Meet”
At Graig Residence

The. Soroptimist club of
Castlegar-Kinnaird-Robson held
their first meeting of the new
term in the home of Edith Craig,
Kinnaird, Sept. 13.

Plans are nearly finalized
for Castlegar and district's Cen-
tennial ball, sponsored by the
Soroptimist club. The ball is to
be held November 18, in the
Arena. Co-chairmen of the Cen-
tennial ball committee are Marg
Denneus and Alice Anderson,

The annual doll raffle draw
will take place at the ball. Tick- | ¢,
ets went on sale this week. Laura
Bridgman and Jean Stainton will
dress four of the two dozen dolls
in authentic colonial costumes
before the dolls are displayed
by. local merchants.

Hilarious but - informative
accounts of the Soroptimist in-
ternational convention held in
Toronto in July were given by
Alice Fowler, Betty Leitner and
Marg Denneus.

Through friendships formed
at the Toronto convention the
local club had decided to cor-
respond with the Helena, Mon-
tana club for mutual enjoyment
and ‘information.

Alice Anderson reported on
the measles vaccine clinics held
in April and July. About 15 dos-
es are still at the Ro-

John Hart dam at Campbell riv-
er, Diefenbaker lake on the
South Saskatchewan dam,

Whether. you like him poli-
tically or not, W. A. C. Bennett
has writ his name large into

the history of British Columbia.
Whether he’s-a great premier
we do not know yet. That's up
to the historians a century from
now, after due and calm study
of his life and works.

I had hoped the dam might
be named after John F. Ken-
nedy, not that I begrudged the
Premier the honor, I would like

‘in. British C

named after Kennedy and Lyn-

don Johnson, too, for it-was the

latter who came to British Col-j *
umbia to hand over the prem-
jer that: $274 million cheque
to make all these works possible.
We must not forget that
without the United States, its
wealth, its vast population, and
its staggering market potential,
the Bennett dam would not have
been there at all.

If 20 million Canadians were
put ona Pacific Ocean island,
like Australia and New Zealand,
they would not have any dam
of the magnitude of the Bennett
dam. The proximity of the U.S.
makes most of our benefits and
advantages i possible, though:
