Other species of birds seen in the count period, but not on the count day were two Bald Eagles on Dec. 24 and then an immature Bald Eagle a few days later.'A great Gray Ow] was also seen in the Nelson ‘area during’ the Christmas holidays. A report from Kaslo included a Townsend's Solitaire. Along with this report came a hint for bird lovers: “The Townsend’s Solitaire eats Oregon grape berries and also enjoys Mountain Ash berries, so if you wish to freeze these. berries and put.them out in January and February when food is scarce, the birds will enjoy it." Another report from Kaslo included.a sighting: of a flock of. approximately 1,000 Snow Geese on the North end of Kootenay Lake ‘about the middle ‘of, December. A Pygmy Owl and a Horned Owl were seen on the North shore at Nelson the week before Christmas and a Black-billed Magpie was counted in the Grand Forks area.

Whereas Kinnaird has grown to approximately the same size as Castlegar and is a very beautiful and progressive town, Castlegar has always been the hub of the district, and due to its long connection with the many organizations, indus- tries, transportation systems, government agencies, etc., the name ‘Castlegar’ is well-known across the continent. Even during the ‘Hungry Thirties’ the transient ‘rod riders’ from East to West knew the town of Castlegar as the location of the toughest provincial police offi- cers in the West. Castlegar was first known across the country through its CP Rail associations; its name and location are now known nation-wide and then: some. A few of the departments and for which Castle- * mental; some of these reasons follow: x Castlegar became the first : settlement in this region West ? of the Columbia River, North of Trail, near the turn of century. » It .was'an important CP Rail sub-divisional point and junc > tion of the three lines leading respectively to Rossland, Nel- } son-East and West to Vane- ‘ ouver.

With the arrival of two families © engaged in. logging West of Kinnaird a small, . one-room school was built late in -1917 near the present Kinnaird town office. This school opened in January, 1918, and’ was main- | tained until amalgamation with Castlegar, in late 1932, after which the ~ district. became ' “Castlegar Consolidated School District”.

It will be obvious that the expense, confusion, frustration and. inconvenience to the citizens and general public that would result from a change. of name would ‘be tremendous. ~ Further, it is felt that the elimination of the name ‘Castle- gar’ after a period of 75 years or so, would result in an im- measurable loss from every aspect, historically, sentiment- ally and from a point of common-sense practicality.
