Since the City of Trail is the largest centre in the Rossland- ‘Trail Riding, I would lke to bring to your attention, Mr. Speaker, some of the recent developments In our city, The citizens of Trail take immense pride in their community. We have a stable economy and. o great deal of this can be attributed to the fine labour relations between Mine, Mil Local No. 480 and the C.M.&8, Company. A substantial number of our citizens own thelr own homes and alt of us are trylng to beautify the district, Anyone who has not visited Trail in the last 16 yearq will be surprised and pleased to note the difference from former years. May- or Read who recently retired as our Mayor, was responsible to a large degree for this beautification pro- gram, We now Have pne of the youngest Mayors in Canada as the head of our City. We are ex- pecting that Mayor Joe Palyga will carry on the fine tradition of area beauilfication, |. We have had a very exciting year, etarting off with the Trail Bmoke Eaters winning the world hockey championship. This sum- mer we were honoured by & visit of the Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs, Pearkes on our 60th y'of | some try in the MacDonald Brier plays downs for curling supremacy in Ca- nado, ican assure you, Mr. _ Spear, that Reg Stone and his Rink are wonderful ambassadors of good will for British Columbia ond I feel that tall of the Members of the House will watch their progreas and wish them well, Another record that we are proud of in the City of Trall Is our safety record. As of today, February 20th, we will have achieved in the City of Trail 2,624 fatality éree traf- {lc days, which ts an outstanding record. The Trail Daily Times keeps a box score record and every citizen strives towards safety in the City. This program is spearheaded by the Trait Safety Council under the gui- dance. of Mrs, Hilda, Read... This Council keeps on guard against any dangerous situation and thas sug- gested several improvements which have assisted us in maintaining this fine safety record, One of the outstanding events thls year was the opening of the new Trail Bridge which spans the Columbian River. It was officially opened on October 2 by the Minin- ter of the Vancouver Bound on Business or Pleasure? .

The Minister of High- ways has on a number of occasions promised. immediate assistance in the construction of the Highway through west Trail as soon as the land is made available, I hope that. this year the City of Trail and the C.P-R. can come ‘to the Corporation of the City of ‘Trail, Recently we were delighted to see Reg Stone's rink become B.C.’s en- the track removal problem and that this nar.
