CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, January 23, 1975 ~ Recreation Director Jack Alouf Submits Report (continued from page 1) ulput has been almost nil, {velopment of a regional park to tthe already low recreation ‘budget, this, Incidentally, Is ‘contrary to the Regional Parks (Act and the Letters Patent.

In every ease, the regional district director oes to great lengths to put the entire blame on Regional Ree- ning of facilities and parks in the area, This committee should be made up of represen- tat ives from the city, areas 1 and J. school board and two recreation No. 1. The original concept of regional recreation is a good thing but, as it [s set up at the present time, it Is grossly inadequate. Why should the elty and villages pay for the upkeep and operation of recreation facilities ‘over and above the monies they are already contributing through taxes to support re- gional recreation? How long can Regional Recreation Commission No. 1 survive with a budget that has an average increase of 2.5 per cent per year and a cost of operation which increases be- tween nine per cent and 20 per cent per year? Here are a few of my own suggestions of how Regional Recreation Commission No. 1 should operate: All parks and recreation facilitles In the City of Castle. gar and areas I and J must come under the operation, maintenance and programming of Regional Recreation and Parks Commission No. 1. Funding for operation should be through taxes and a substantial subsidy from the provincial government, A recreation and parks planning committee be es- tablished for long-range plan- Today, Fri. & Sat.” SWEATERS 2 for $1.49 PLAZA DRY CLEANERS IMPORTANT NOTICE To: Credit: Union’ Members = Yaur' credit union wishes to urge all mem- bers to avoid organizations offering to discount peoples tax refunds. The service offered by the tax rebate lenders, while not new, has become widespread and is being promoted in attractive terms which appeal to those who desire immed- tot9 Ica cash rather than wait for the regular tax retui The reality of the situation is that in many cases the cost of such income tax rebate loans is “and~ father, eee ameter ta wily plan. “More thought should go into how recreation commission members are chosen and de- finite guidelines set down as to their responsibilitics and du- ties. Financial statements show- ing complete to-date expendi- tures and revenue should be issued by RDCK to Regional Recreation Commalssion No. 1 at least every two months, ‘The restriction on regional reereation not being allowed to go into capital expenditures should be lifted. Capital ex- penditures involving purchase of facllitics or major. renova: tions and improvements to facilities must be first approved by the recreation commission and finally by the RDCK, Pass Creek Park—main- tenance, operation and pro- gramming should come under Regional Recreation and Parks Commission No, 1, but suitable arrangements regarding the financing of the park should be made. Being a regional park, the operating and maintenance costs should come from another source, ‘These are a few of my own recommendations after almost three years as recreation di- rector for Regional Recreation Commission No. 1, 1 feel that because of the geographical location of Castlegar, it is very important to go all-out for developing a substantial recrea- tion program and developing yuod parks and recreation fucilities. This is an Industry that Castlegar and area should capitalize upon.

Conscience and Comment CASTLEGAR, NEWS Arabs Gef Six Million Hourly ‘According to the feature article of a recent issue of ‘an \interna- = tional newsmaga- zine, the Arabs are receiving $6.5 million: per hour through the sale of petroleum to North ‘America. Reportedly, it is the most massive transfer of wealth in the history of the world, Or perhaps not. “Lay up for yourselves treasures in ; heaven,” Christ taught. And for centuries committed Christians have'been transferring wealth tto the Kingdom of Heaven. Not, petroleum ‘dollars either, but ving souls, each one worth :smore than the entire world. Still, one thing is certain. -"Wealth and power are rapidly “Jaccumulating in Arab hands. The balance of power in the 3: Middle East is slowly but “Certainly tipping toward the ‘Arab rulers. Money, as we all know, can:buy weapons: Some- times hired armies march to its tune.’ The'day cannot be far hence when the Arab nations will apply their newly-aequired leverage against Israel. Frank- ly, if we did not believe Israel will be divinely preserved, we would be wallowing in pessi- mism, ‘But money has its limits, too, It cannot buy bravery, nor the propitious, ordering of events. Providences come from God's hands. And though the unprecedented wealth in Arab hands threatens world peace, the ultimate decisions are not made’in Cairo nor Saudi Arabia, but on high. ‘That's why Israe! will be alive and well for.a long time yet. 5 Providing @ - COMPLETE COMMERCIAL PRINTING SERVICE © lellerheads | © envelopes © business cards brochures © business forms - © invitations in short...

Place in the {freezer until the Ice Is ‘very hard. Next cut a plece of paper to fit the size of the can and tape this in place. Sketch in your design with a felt tip pen or pencil. If the ico starts to melt before you are finished, put it back in the freezer with the paper attached, Place the can on layers of newapaper ora folded rag and using a hammer and nail punch holes Into the ean atong the lines of your design. Wastebaskets, ‘decorative pen holders or containers for imitation flowers can all be made from more tin cans, Simply cover with fabric or felt, and using rubber cement or white glue, attach It in place. Allow one inch at the top and bottom to fold over the edges to give a neat appearance. Lampshades can be made from whatever size you wish as long as the lightbulb you uso fits Inside without touching the aldes. Paint the outside with aute-marine, enamel or acrylle palnt which will adhere to the lin. Puncture a hole in the boltom of the can, large cnough to pull the lightweight wire through. Do this after you've attached it to the bulb socket and before you've attached It to the plug. ‘A grouping of two or more of these lamps iy more effective than just one, You can buy chain link by the yard which you feed the wire through for a more decorative touch. These lampshades are ox- cellent for use in outside patio areas, or recreation rooms. Young actors and must- clans that are feeling a budget pinch for their performances could solve their lighting needs with these tin can lamps. The Perth County Conspiracy, a folk rock,’ theatrical group from Stratford, Ont., made a lighting system based on this concept.
