Muirhead at the conclusion of Mr,

Rust’s remarks,

Jack Hipwell suggested that
application be made to the courts
for a restraining order on Celgar

Mr. Rust answered that his
council had given consideration to
such action at the time fill was be-
ing tested for the High Arrow
dam “and this has not been for-
gotten.”

Mr. Rust praised Nelson's
present investigation of sewage
treatment methods and plants’ and
commented that treatment plants
studied by that city so far are far

‘are prohibative, he continued. It
is estimated that wells would cost
6 mills a year, “We're going to get
tt (better drinking water) but at
somebody's ‘else's expense,” he
reiterated as a number of persons
stood to urge that Kinnaird turn
to, another source of water immed-
iately and finance it itself.

“We are as vitally interested
as you ore,” Mr, Rust told them,
“but we don't know where to ‘get
the money.”

Mr. Sanvido Msted the causes
of Columbia river pollution as:
Nelson sewage, the sewage of lake.
shore residents, pollution from
mining and manufacturing indus-
tries, and pollution from the dump-
ing of garbage on river shores by
along the river,

Comm, Rust said that discus-
sions held with B.C, Hydro re-
es last fall
that the Authority will assist Kin-

ing it. I assume it.”
Kinnaird has investigated wells

Fire Alarms Ring
In Twin Villages

The fire alarm sounded in
Castlegar at 12.30 noon on Satur-
day but there was no fire damage.

Fire chief Ed Lewis said the
call was for an over-heated oil
heater but no fire actually occured,
Firemen stood by until the heater
cooled off.

The alarm was to the home of

"|W. Ratzlafé at 4th and Green,

‘At Kinnaird on “Monday the
fire alarm sounded for quite some-
time at noon until firemen turned
it off. The alarm was believed set
off by a short circuit. *

Suggests Quick
Action on. Village
Water Problem

Dear Sir:

1. would like to thank all those
people who have contributed in
bringing to the attention of the
public and the various branches
of government the deplorable state
of pollution of our water resources,

Every time the issue of pol-
lution comes up and action is re-
quested, the “powers that be”
come back with these arguments:

“It will cost too much money,”
“We ‘can’t afford it” or “Yes,
these things must be done, but
sometime in the future.”

“I would suggest this attitude
will have to change.

These objections to immediate
action appear to be the result of
‘an ostrich-like ‘philosophy. The
facts are:

1, We cannot afford not to
Protect ourselves and future gene-
rations against this menace.

2, It is ridiculous to wait’ for
an’ ‘epidemic to decide for us
that this is the time to do some-
thing about it,

We talk of the high cost of de-
fence spending, but no one ques.
tions the necessity of these expen-
ditures or suggests that they are
economically impossible, Could not
our peoples health be our first line
