That's why he schedules a ‘pre-dinner cocktail party once or twice a week for elderly 1 residents at the Retirement i! Centre of Wright County in Buffalo, Minn. “They enjoyed a cocktail at home once in a while," Thomp- : “son said. “Why not here? We *,. don’t try to discipline their lives,” About a fourth of the + home's 119 residents show up for the parties in the centre's ‘** all-purpose room.

The wanton cutting of the trees, from the ferry up, has the local people, including my family, up in arms. What senseless destruction of sce- nery! This road was used by. many as a scenic drive.

Freed 25 Per: Household By RYON GUEDES CasNews Editor Combined federal and provincial funding will give Castlegar residents a $6 million Arrow Lakes water supply at a cost of about $25 per household, B.C.’s economic development minister announced here Tuesday. Ina joint press conference with Mayor Audrey’ Moore, Don Phillips totd reporters the federal and provincial governments have agreed In principle to provide over $4.5 million for the city’s planned tie-in to the CanCel pulp opsration's pipeline to solve “‘unique’’ supply problems preventing inoustrlal growth in the community. Under the Canada-B.C. D. the city will be provided with a $3 million “forgiveable” interest-free loan, Phillips said. Sat the “icing on the cake which really makes the whole thing very palatable and good for Castlegar,” he said, will be‘a further $1.5 million grant from the province. City taxpayers, who will also be relieved of 75 per cent of the debt servicing costs on the grant, “will have to pick up very little of the $6 million cost of the water supply," the minister said. “Castlegar had a unique problem in that the situation was probably created by factors over which it had no control,” the minister explained. “That is ‘one of the reasons why such an exception in making such grants has been made.” PERSISTENT _ Commenting on negotia- tions hetween.his ministry and the city over more than a year for water supply funds, he commended Moore for being “very persistent and unswayed in her determination that the taxpayers of Castlegar did not have to pick up the majority of the burden.” He also acknowledged the co-operation of CanCel presi- dent Ron Watson in negotia- tions over the city's proposed” tie-in to the company’s Arrow Lakes pipeline. Also acknowledging Can- Cél's co-operation, Moore said the funding will now enable the city and the company to review is about to come down the pipe.” ‘ * She noted that the city has already commissioned engineer- ing plans which will enable the city to call tenders for pipe for the system by March 1. “If all goes well we hope to install the valve at CanCel during the mill's Easter shut- down,” the mayor said, “Talk- ing to the works .superinten- dent today he tells me with this it looks as if it ps on the terms of sty tio-in and let “the whole package come together.” APPROPRIATE “T think it’s very approp- riate that today 1 was informed that the tie-in valve arrived at CanCel yesterday,” Moore said. “It looks almost as if the water will be full steam ahead, and we should be delivering water this fall.” “The citizens in this city are finally going to have a good . quality and lots of water.” she said. “More on Page A8 ‘An extra,loop, expected to be constructed this year- on the southeast corner of the Kinnaird interchange will channel heavy traffic - from Grand Forks to the north on Columbia Avenue.
