ers and
announced the summer opening
of the Doukhobor Specialty Food
Building

The once popular restaurant
closed several years ago and
became badly deteriorated,
together with the orchards and
artifacts. In July a team was hired
under the supervision of Oglow
to restore this local tourist attrac
tion. With the sponsorship of sev-

ciahty food building.

Besides extending and mod
ernizing the facilities and accom
modations of the building, Oglow
said,-the kitchen area will be
open to view so that diners can
see the food being prepared and
bread and other baked goods
being cooked in the traditional
brick ovens

Over the restoration period
Oglow not only instructed the
workers in a variety of skills but
as well, taught them how to make
his famous borscht ladles. These
too were in display and presented
at the ceremony. One of the
workers read a letter of apprecia
tion as follows

Dear Pete
On behalf of the workers |
would like to thank you for all

time employ-
ment in the
community.
Your
volunteer energy
is a wonderful
example of what

plished Pete and
I would like to
add that its been a pleasure to
work with you and learn from a
man of your talents.
Thank you from all the crew.

PETER OGLOW

In closing, Oglow thanked
Harry Voykin and his family who
had operated the restaurant for
the Kootenay. Doukhobor Histori-
cal Society for many years, and
son-in-law Fred Fomenoff, their
volunteer bookkeeper.

“They did an excellent job”
continued Oglow, “and were a
great asset to local tourism. I
would like to thank them on
behalf of the community and
look, with community coopera-
tion, to see this place in operation
by this summer.”

goods prepared by Mary Oglow,

Larsen refuses to take the
credit for the success of the event,
and instead credits members of

“Richelld Daviau and Crystal

City of Trail to receive 1925 Chrysler

One doesn’t look a gift horse
in the mouth — particularly if
it’s a 1925 Chrysler in mint con-
dition and absolutely free

The City of Trail has been
offered the vehicle from the B.C.
Transportation Museum, which is
closing its doors. There are 180
vehicles, 60 of which are consid-
ered to have historic significance
City clerk Jamie Forbes told
council last night that the museum
is trying to place as many vehicles
as possible back in the communi-
ty of their origin. The only restric-
tion is “they would like to have it

on display and that the city can’t
turn around and sell it.”

Forbes said the Chrysler
“would be a real asset for
parades and community events,
and is in excellent. condition. It
would be worth thousands of
dollars.” He said the museum
will even assist in transporting it
back to Trail, “or we could even
have it on loan for a couple of
years, while we made a deci-
sion.” Vehicles which the muse-
um cannot find original homes
for will be sold through a public
auction this coming March.
