CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, January 4, 1979 Voice of the People Let Us Build, Not Destroy Editor, Castlegar News: We are a group of ladies ition, Spiritual Com: by a group For many yea endured the many thi constant harassment, th that the enforcement of law and order would bring a solution to the problem. Yet, we see no end. The losses to our properties seriou We find no clear explana- ‘tion of why we have been a constant larget for these peo- it Lo be able to to abide within ws of our country and to follow our Christian conscience based upon the principle and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ and to live free of these harassments and threats. We feel that we and our families deserve this right, as do all law * abiding citizens. “We have for a long time appealed to all sources of authority and to members of : parliament that sométhing posi- tive be done to end this un- bearable situation. We are con- tinuing to appeal to local com- munity clubs and groups for their advice and support. We realize that the unlaw- fulness of this minority group easts a shadow of unrest and adverse publicity on the whole y. We realize that as taxpayers, all carry the burden. It is a dangerous game to allow obvious fanatical esca- pades to go on without proper explanation, apprehension and control, When the sense of human deceney and perception is lost, there can be no bounds to their actions and intent, They can do almost any- thing in the name of even God, and feel justified in doing so. Blinded by the zealous web of their own actions, they not only defeat their own purpose, but contradict the basic Christian principles they say they pro- fess, This is a sad and pitiful situation, especially so, when they allowed to feel justi- fied by a court:of law, and sensationalized by news media, For example, the latest con: temptuous disrobing in court, which no other citizen would be allowed such practice, nor should they be, Salmo Mill Sale Approved By Government Louisiana-Pacific Corp. has announced its Canadian sub- sidiary has reevived approval from the Canadian government ire the assets of Salmo Products Ltd, of Salmo, L-P Canada has reached agreement with Idaho Forest Industries, Inc. of © Coeur d'Alene, Idaho to purchase the assets of the Salmo company for approximately $5.4 million, The Salmo operation will be Louisiana-Pacific's first in Canada, Included in the acquisition are a sawmill with an annual capacity of 25 million board feet, plus 21,500 acres of free ewned timberland and two cutting licences on Canadian government timberland. To see so much unlawful- ness go free against all rules and decency, appears as a farce and mockery of our judicial system, More over it promotes one to wonder, without choice, how something like this can be allowed in a country where justice prevails, How come? Why? As members and followers and in respeet of basic prin- ciples of the Doukhobor faith, professing peace and non-vio- lenee, we openly” denounce these actions of law-breaking and terrorism, It is contrary to all Christian doctrine and can- not under any circumstance be justified. * We are therefore, openly appealing to our neighbors and friends, of the Kootenay-Boun- dary area and to whoever else, lo assist,promoting some solu- lion to this intolerable situa- lion, through proper. effective and just authoritive channels. That all people involved may find contentment and peace, to go on with the everyday living, creating harmony and good will, Let us build our com- munity and not destroy it. Anne J.

The incident occurred at Seventh. Avenue, South, and Eighth Street. Police. report the 1977 vehicle, driven by Cecil H. R. Andrew of Castlegar, had stop- ped at a stop sign on Eighth Street and had pulled out when it was in collision with a north- bound vehicle on Seventh Ave- nue. : The driver of the second vehicle has been identified as Leslie James Johnson of Rob- son, No injuries have been reported. Road conditions are described as icy and slushy, * * That same afternoon-on Seventh Avenue, South, at Second Street, two Mazdas, one a 1973 and the other a 1972, each sustained an estimated $400 damage when they col- lided. Charged with making an improper left turn:is Edward Labermeyer of Saskatoon, Sask. His vehicle failed to clear the intersection and was struck by the 1973 model driven ‘by Daniel Lee Bate of Castlegar. * 28 «@ Two hours later, at the same location, a 1967 Olds- mobile, driven by Betty Kani- gan, was in collision with a 1962 Vauxhall, driven by Neil Deni- soff, Each vehicle sustained an estimated $600.

Hydro have made their deci- sions, ‘That was the response by federal Environment Minister Len Marchand recently, when he was asked by Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco about the matter. The exchange , occurred By Realtor NORM WERRE Century 21 — Big Rock Realty Ltd. during a Fisheries and Forestry Committee meeting. Brisco ask- ed the Kamloops member if he had had an opportunity ‘to “advance his concerns to the Cabinet.” Marchand said he did not feel it necessary to go to the cabinet and seek out a govern- ment position “until the deci- sion as to what they are going to do has been made by B.C.

Do you think “that this will save you money? “The:home you have your eye on’ will cost you more in -monthly payments two years ‘from’ now — even if the inferest rate drops one per sent. ‘: For example, take a home that costs $40,000. With a 20% down-payment and fi- nanced with a 25-year, 11% mortgage, the monthly pay- ment would be $313.60. But two years from now, if prices ‘keep rising at as low as 6% per’ year, the now $40,000 home would likely cost $45,000. If the interest rate decreased to 10% not only INTEREST DOWN - COST UP $1,000 more, but the monthly payment would increase to $327.24. If the interest rate stayed at 11% the payment would come to $352.80. So, it’s obvious that the overall value of the home — not the interest rate — makes the biggest impact on your monthly payment. Since there is no indication of property values decreasing; the moral of the story is — Buy now or pay more later. * 8 If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at CENTURY 21 - BIG ROCK REALTY LTD., 623 Colunbia Ave., Castlegar.

Canada's gun laws require that anyone wishing to pur- Chase, borrow or exchange a firearm obtain a Firearms Acquisition Certificate from police. Certificates cost $10.00 and are valid anywhere In Canada for five years; allowing the purchase of any number of guns with a single certificate during the five year period. The purpose of the new law is to ensure that guns are not made readily available to those with a history of violent behavior, mental disorders or a criminal record involving violence.
