CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, April 26, 1973 ~ CASTLEGAR NEWS Hore Let the People's Rights Maintain, Unawed by Influence or Gain ‘ Welcome Extended fo Premier Barrett A cordial welcome is extended to Premier Dave Barrett on the occasion of his first visit to the Castlegar-Kinnaird area since his assump- tion of this province's highest elected office last September. Mr. Barett is no stranger to our twin communities, While leader of the opposition he visited both Kinnaird and Castlegar on a number of occasions although, to our recollection, he never actually held a public meeting here. It is quite appropriate that Mr. Barrett will be visiting Columbia Cellulose's pulp and lumber divisions while here. The company will soon be a Crown corporation operating under the name of British Columbia Cellulose and it is noteworthy that the premier is taking this early opportunity to get a first-hand look at his government's new acquisition. We also hope Mr. Barrett will have time to take a tour of Selkirk College while he is at that for a public Pp One of his government's first steps was to remove the capital costs of regional colleges from local taxpayers and perhaps he will have something to say about the outstanding capital debt retirement of Selkirk College. We are sure Premier Barrett's visit tomorrow will be interesting for him and that district residents will extend a warm welcome. We hope that his visit will give him a favorable impression of our area that will prove of future benefit to our growing district. Hike for History Deserves Our Support “The power of an idea is one of the strongest things in the world.” ‘he foregoing isn’t an exact quote, but the idea is this: much can be accomplished by people who get a good idea and set out constructively and enthusiastically to accomplish a goal. Such is the case with the National Exhibition Centre being considered for the site of the Doukhobor Communal Village. The centre, which would provide an exhibition place for touring exhibits of works of art and historical artifacts from the National Museum in Ottawa, was briefly mentioned in a magazine. Local naturalist and KIDA Country booster, Bill Merilees, noticed the article and asked himself, “why not have one of the exhibition centres located here?" He contacted a number of groups, including the Town of Castlegar, and a meeting was held with federal and provincial officials to determine if the Kootenay Doukhobor Historical Society site couldn't be favorably considered. The exhibition centre, which would cost about $100,000 would be one of five proposed for each province by the federal government, The centre here would consist of five modular hexagon units, windowless, with a luminous exterior lighting which would be visible from all directions. The temperatures of the interior would be very carefully controlled to ensure that no damage would result to the historical and art treasures placed on exhibition there. Part of the federal government's criteria in deciding the locations of the centres is local initiative, local interest and local support. With this in mind, the Kootenay Doukhobor Historical Society, the Castlegar Museum, the David Thompson Stamp Club and the Community Arts Council are sponsoring a Hike for History this Saturday. District residents are being urged to sponsor young walkers who will hike a 15-mile route. The funds raised will be used to help — ensure that a sixth modular unit will be included in the National Exhibition Centre or, possibly, a seventh as well. The building of a National Exhibition Centre in our district will be a real community asset and the young people hiking this Saturday to help make it a reality are to be commended. We hope everyone gives favorable consideration to sponsorship requests. Recommendations - For Arena Made A number of recommenda- Victoria Report MLAs Face Decision of Full Time Positions tions for next season's opera- tion of the Castlegar Arena were made to Castlegar council at its meeting last week. In a written report, Rec- reation Commission director Jack Alouf recommended: * That an arena manager be hired; vs. * That. a:xsuitable time. dlock “and . seére -clock be installed; a * That an. efficient PA system be installed; * That non-prime ice time be established as 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, and . that all other time be charged as prime time; : * That whenever an ice man is kept on at overtime rates this’ be charged to the group using the facility; * That the concession booth be tendered out at a reasonable monthly rental; * That all rates and rental fees be reviewed prior to next season's arena operation. No immediate action was taken by council on Mr. Alouf's recommendations. Want to Sell Your House? By Lloyd Mackey Victoria Correspondent for the Castlegar News Now that the legi- slative session is over, the time has come for many of the new MLAs to surprised when they were elected last year. A few of the first-time Socreds had expected to be elected to the g gone on record that he would eventually have to make a decision as to whether to give up his medical practice to be full-time MLA. Bob McClelland, the Soc- red from Langley, resigned his aldermanic seat in Langley City halfway through the session, indicating he could not carry on the triple -loadsof running4a newspaper ,bustiegs “being “an MLA and’ holding “down a council seat. * Harold Steves, the Rich- mond -NDPer who is also an party and probably expected to get into competition for any cabinet offerings that might have come in the next few years. Some of the NDPers had. run almost as token candidates, never really expecting to sit in the August chamber. : Arriving there was a big enough adjustment to make. But the real test arrives now because of the new idea of MLAs working full-time. The salary raises make it financially feasible. But the issue is not quite that simple. Many MLAs are going to have to decide whether to give up other worthwhile careers for a few years and be politicians’ on a full-time basis. Conservative House Lead- er Scott Wallace has already Id in that has decided to hang on to his, however. Part of the test will come between now and the fall session, Four legislative commit- tees will be out in the field, thus involving most of the MLAs not. in the cabinet. Some, like the ‘Hang in there, baagi? Conscience and Comment A Canadian Dies for Peace By Rev. K.

Mr. Sharp also made clear that the Canadians might not’ stay in Vietnam until June 30, as previously agreed, if the situation does not substantially improve. The sacrifice of one Cana- dian for peace is not at all to be depreciated. But it must be measured by what others have done. More than 40,000 Ameri- cans died pursuing the same goal.

Rep A representative of the water board has beon in Castlogar viewing a river bank erosion problem in the area of , 10th Ave. This was reported at * council's meeting last week by Ald. Andy Shutek following reading of a letter on the subject from Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy. The MLA told council that “at first blush, it appears likely that the reduced maximum flows resulting from the opera- tion of Keenleyside Dam would abate rather than aggravate bank erosion,” He added that if the town could provide “reasonable proof that upstream river flow contro! is to blame for the conditions” he would discuss the matter with B.C. Hydro and Resources’ Minister Bob Wil- liams, Mr. Shutek said the water board representative also took photographs of the erosion problem and suggested Mr. D'Arcy be advised that the representative's report should be available to the MLA from the lands branch. in Vietnam of bloodshed must be a worthy accomplishment and the Cana- dian contribution not insignifi- cant. Moreover, the current events are shadowed in history. When Jesus Christ died it was one man for the world. Then the Savior raised himself from the dead to confirm his claim of pardon and forgiveness for all who would receive it. . Robert Laviolette will not live again until the resurrec- tion. But his sacrificial death, on behalf of a fragile peace is an Easter symbol. It affirms that even a breath of peace is worth dying for. ‘Treatment for Anemia Packed red cells obtained from whole blood given to the Red Cross Blood Transfusion Servite by volunteer donors vused as: an... effective treatmentafor. anemia, “PERM SALE ENDS" Saturday, April 28 “Export Stylists” CAMEO BEAUTY SALON 605 Cilumbla Ave, — Suite 2:- Ph, 365-5841 A little out of the way ... but no Parking Problems i J- Orthopedic ad and ser vice, 24 hour service on> everyday’ shoe repairs, “Heels”: while you walt.

TuncHeLt Supply 490 Front Street - ‘Telephone 365-7252 areal i What Premier Barrett has indicated he wants, of course, is a professional politician. His idea of administrative effective- ness is to have people who are good at their jobs paid well to do them and stay in them. When W:A.C. Bennett was premier, he steered away from that course, indicating that an MLA should spend much of the year being close to people in one area of the province. It would probably be safe to predict that some MLAs will resign within a year or two, to © return to life as they knew it * before. The members to watch especially closely on that score are the Liberals. The calibre of men in that group is such that their alternate careers are likely . more challenging than that of a non-cabinet MLA. It could be that some of them will soon throw in the towel. The whole trick is one of psychological adjustment. An MLA like any other human being, wants to have a job and life style he enjoys. Some will adjust to professional politic- ing and take to it like a duck in water, But others will miss the variety that the old style politician had —the opportunity to switch from one life style to nother twice a year.
