Marks Third Anniversary’ The third anniversary of the Youth Information Project, Castlegar's Crisis Intervention Centre, was marked by an open house which attracted approxi- mately 40 visitors. Displays were set up to illustrate the various services that the centre provides for the surrounding community. “Be- fore” and “after” toys showed graphically the work under- taken each winter on the Operation Santa Claus project. Books and pamphlets were on ‘hand to show the wide variety of subjects on which the centre has information and the video- taped display on the history of the centre and on the Caplanian technique of crisis counselling was a major attraction. Staff members were on hand to answer any questions the visitors had. Refreshments were sup- plied by the Castlegar Savings Credit Union and the Castlegar Super-Valu store. A list was also kept of people interested in receiving the centre's monthly. - newsletter, The Co Alcoholics Anonymous Assists With Open House Members in Maintaining Sobriety Many professional people, program embodies in Twelve doctors, admin- istrators and others in the fields of medicine, law enforce- ment and public health, are familiar with the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous and its program for personal recovery from alcoholism. AA today comprises an estimated 500,000 recovered alcoholics. Most of them are affiliated with approximately 17,000 groups in the United States, Canada and about 92 other countries. Women consti- tute approximately one-fifth of the membership.

The recovery program is described in detail, with more than 30 case histories, in the text Alcoholics Anonymous, originally pub- lished in 1939. From its earliest days, AA has been accorded the support and cooperation of leaders in the fields of medicine and psychiatry. Its use in the rehabilitation programs of noted penal institutions dates from 1941. Today there are approxi- mately 500 AA groups in hospitals. Federal, state and local (public and private) hospitals, including a number for tuberculous patients, are represented, In the correctional field, AA groups are active in more than 600 prisons of all types throughout the world, :; Most groups in institutions grades 8 and 9 under the of Norman Fishwick. old style He opened up the north with baling wire, canvas and courage— .

The sole purpose of the society's members is to pre- serve their own sobriety by sharing it with other interested alcoholics. As a fellowship, AA has therefore avoided affiliation with other programs in the field of alcoholism. ividual local to try the trumpet, Wecating it was much more difficult than they realized.

Neill Foster : Santiago, Domini- Gan Republic. The church has a “resident’ pastor", a song leader, and an Here in the heart- that needs to be told. It concerns a lively church in a fortress prison called “La Fortaleza”. It was an unusual experience to visit a Christian church functioning in a context where all the potential converts are d with one tambourine and one pair of rattling gourds. That, plus the handclapping that is so distinct- ively latin provided a fascinat- ing hymnsing. Then I was allowed to tell the good news that liberty is essentially a spiritual condition, and that imprisonment need not impede Christian joy. Probably the message was not needed.

They. had opportunities ‘of employment like all the rest of us, However, it soon was evident that to work alongside us was not their intent. They therefore quickly gained the reputation as being freeloaders. These people had a dif- ferent idea about making a living. They, who had no intent in proving that they were willing to live and work in harmony with us “nature people” of this valley, began receiving grants in astonishing amounts for some of the most projects imaginabl { Our opinions the Fy opinions of at least 99 per cent “4 fof the people that enjoyed ‘making a living in this valley before these hippies (for the b tack of a better word) came i: along.

Through the building (a vacant public schoo!) also became a movie theatre, headquarters for a food co-op, & church, the home address of many of the valley hippies, and also accommodation: for free school instruction for the * children they had withdrawn from our public schools, These very schools they "would not recognize, they were willing to serve by means of a bookmobile. Now it is rumored that this bookmobile has been seized by the law. This makes us most curious about their activities, They have been able to establish nothing with grants that could continue without additional grants Grants to these people have become a way of life, Each grant seems to create the necessity for more grants, We have always under- stood that, grants such as LIP and OFY were instituted to ease the situa- we read that this project had been organized by professionals, But they were only able to get the cement foundation together, Then they reported through ss ee eamapers (after the 000 had been spent) that were not able to do anymore than this because of the lack of experienced workers. The people that stood by witnessing this waste of funds merely chalked it up as experience for the government, “Surely, when the proper officials learn of this waste of taxpayers’ money, there will be no more such grants,” was the, thinking of all of us. That was two years ago and since then, there have been all sorts of grants received in this valley. Our recreation commissions, golf clubs, etc. received grants too and used them to improve recreational facilities that had already been established without grants. | We hired many hippies to work in our projects. We soon learned what calibre of work they could give. They had to be under constant supervision in order to get the simplest of tasks done, Yet these are the people that receive grant after grant while lacking the ambi- tion for the work that is to be done.

Weare lucky if we learn _ * of them before the newspapers publish that they have already been approved. One of these fantastic grants this year is for the establishing of a film industry in this valley. Apparently some of these people are professional actors, photographers, produc- ers, directors and dancers. They claim that this can be a profitable industry for this valley because there is ‘sup- posed to be a‘great demand for the films they are to produce. But wouldn't it seem more sensible, that if there are such great opportunities for these talents, it would be better to move the talent to where the industry has already been established. It. just doesn’t seem wise to establish such a costly industry just because a few people have found that they have a common interest in producing films. We do not move the sawmills to where a group of mill workers happen to live. The workers.go to work at the location where the mill: has already been established. We have seen how the projects these people have managed, have not benefited this valley as they were often intended to do. -If they benefited anyone, it was them- selves in that’ they. received their spending. money for as long as the project lasted. managed, have not benefited anyone, it-was themselves in that they received their spend- ing money for as long as the project lasted.

To these people it means unemployment so that grants are increasingly necessary. To them it is merely a handout. To us the government doesn't care how they are used or managed. There doesn't appear to be any follow-up or evaluation of these projects, There are simply more and More grants approved each year, It would have been better for this valley had grants of any type never been instituted. While watching this waste of public funds, we have also had to see this valley become polluted with the stench of immorality and defiance of the laws of this land, How do these “future citizens” ever hope to merge into the society that is providing them with grants when they prefer to wallow in an environment that insults the self-respect. and industrious- ness the people have been renowned for in this valley over many decades? Day after day we hear of new incidences of nudity, indecent exposure, defiance and impudence. We find that we are living among people who think nothing of passing their bowels in our view, even on public highways and beside public business buildings when toilets are less than 100 feet away. They loiter,.on anyone's, property and, ,will.defy. the? owner when asked to leave. _ They humiliate their child- ren by: bringing them into public as if there are no such necessities as soap and. water. We have had an instance where one of these hippies gave one of our little girls a marijuana joint. This is the Slocan Valley Library Names New Board .
