-f CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thuraday, February 21, 1974 ‘Castlegar Air Cadet Squadron 20th Anniversary ience and. Comment Happy Hooker By Rev. K. Neill Foster According to a, recent news item, Miss Xavie- ra Hollander, self- confessed prosti- tute and author of the best-selling *book, Happy Hooker, was picked up on a shoplifting charge in Vancou- ver. Miss Hollander said she was taking the goods as part of er research for a new book she is doing. For the uninformed, per- : haps we should prolain that Doing Research ing, is not an immoral act. [thas - no repercussions in this life and certainly none in the next. But such a philosophy does i not hold up. Frequently, a teen-age girl lives no more than five years after getting into the “trade.” Miss Hollander's future, then, is not bright—unless she makes a few changes. Repentance? There is‘al- ways that possibility. One of the ancestors of Jesus Christ was Rahab, the harlot. And that is proof enough that God forgives the scarlet sin. Of course. if’ °Xaviera Miss is { prostitute who hae! written a 1 book about her exploits, It would be wrong. to : assume Miss Hollander. guilty ‘sof the shoplifting charge, but,an observation ‘can be chooses, she still can avoid the sad ending that comes to most hookers. But it involves coming to the Saviour. His response we can predict. Forgiveness. - Cleansing And the gentle words, “Go, and sin . NO mot more.” _ “DacchiGT Resident Annie Osachoff Passes at Age 68.

Tn an exclusive interview with the Castlegar News, the 40-year-old president said an intensive study of Can-Cel's resources is now under- way. When it's completed the company ‘will look’ at the expansion alternatives avail- * able to it, establish plans to deal with those alternatives, and “then. decide its priorities. The probability that plans for expansion here will precede those in Prince Rupert was indicated in Mr. Gross' com- ments that the company's northern program “is necessar- ily long term.” He said ‘that expansion there will likely coincide with the industrial and social growth of that area. For example, the proposed railroad expansion: hasn't. yet taken place, the: company has real problems with its sulphite mill and there is a lack of residual wood chips. “If we don't operate ona dollar and cents basis,” he observed, “then the financial problems of past years will be | repeated...if we do well as‘a company, we'll be a blessing to the province.” Mr. Gross said the. first issue facing the new company was providing the basic. capital to keep the ‘company management team ~ %; 1 ‘gaid that! and::a. former... director: of Rayonier Inc., and U.S. South- Vancouver, president of Pacific Western Airlines.: Librory Figures’ Collected by City The city’s interim council, which has taken on the task of laying the necessary ground work for an arena referendum to have everything in readiness should ‘the city’s first perma- nent council decide to take the issue to the people, is ‘also collecting the necessary figures for a library referendum. This step was taken at the last regular meeting of council. “necessary sate were put aside during «the ‘financially troubled years and this had a demoralizing effect on’ people within’ the company.

The corporation's’. chief. executive officer said the establishment of priorities ‘for future ‘growth, including the maintenance’ of present’ pro- grams, pollution ‘contro! pro- grams and expansion of the company’s northern and south- ern ‘operations, must: all be considered. “If we have professional management and an indepen- dent board of directors,” he noted, “then decisions should be made on the basis of what is them before they are lost or developed by ’ someone * else.

We'd like to move, but just how and in what sequence must be determined very carefully. We're talking of many, many millions of dollars. There are no ‘short. term solutions to long term problems and we're in a long. term business.” He said a program of three to six years is in the making, adding: It may be longer: up north.” “Mr. Gross stood by earller statements that he believes the provincial’ government should work towards a minority position in the company. He noted that Can-Cel is the only company in which the govern: ment has involved. itself ‘in which “it has not invested one cent of capital.” (When the provincial government took.a 79 per.cent interest last Ap it got its s! return ‘for guaranteeing the company's bonded ‘indebtedness of $68 million plus $2.5 million in notes and $14 million in bank loans. Celanese Corp. of America wrote off the $73 million it was owed by Columbia Cellulolse and gave up its interest in the company.| The Ohio-born president recalled that 21 per cent of the company’s shares are held by some 6,500 , shareholders an said) the company has an obligation “to™ all of our. shareholders and. employees.” and ‘use the money, to possibly help; out panies that had managed to oat 3 ito trouble. 2 The provincial government. “can be just as good a partner with “lesser shares; 1. think - something less than-.50. per _ cent.” ‘ Harvard-educated: company president was high in: his praise of Resources Minis-~ ter: Bob: ‘Williams “and the: provincial government’ for re-< specting its arm-length ‘rela-~ tionship, with the company.
