work of organizing has_ been left
to a‘very few sports minded citi-
zens, who to my way of thinking,
have done a remarkable ‘job so
far,' in getting the’ basketball
school organized and underway,
There is no doubt in my mind
that the job has been well done
nor would you good ‘readers have
any doubts’ whatsoever if you

;| were to drop around to: the high

school any Saturday morning or

afternoon and watch the young-

then, would you ‘be able to see
what a wonderful job these men
nave done.

These same gentlemen could
and if \they weren’t built the
way they are, probably would
sit back and let someone else do
a little organizing. But being
what they are they have gone
ahead with plans to further the
betterment of sport for this fast
growing district.

Not being wholly satisfied with
just having a well organized bas-
ketball school these men led by
Dave Campbell are now working
to start anothdr school for all
those interested in judo, bar-bell
and tumbling.

Already plans have been com-
pleted as far as the instructors
go, Constable Kline, RCMP, has
offered his services to instruct in
the art of judo and John Buhr
of the high school staff will help
out with the tumbling class. I

My Apologies .

It has been brought to my at-
tention that I made a mistake in
this column last week when at
that time I stated that Rennie
Mitchell had been appointed
coach of the high school basket-
ball team. It was also pointed out
to me that to appoint an outside
coach was against the policy of
the school. The third point
brought before me was that Mr.
Mitchell had kindly agreed to at-
tend the Wednesday night “prage
tices and help the boys.

I would like to offer my apolo-
gy to the party who so kindly
pointed out my error, and at the
same time 1 would like to ‘point
out the one factor that led‘a lot
of fans as well as myself to be-
lieve that Rennie was the coach
If it is so that Rennie offered his
services for Wednesday night,
pray, tell me why he was coach-
ing the team from the bench’ on
Saturday, November 8? Or, was
he just passing the time of day
with the team?

season had told me that the four

Commissioners’ Ponder
Slow Approvals By —
Health Department

The Castlegar Commissioners
expressed sharp criticism of the
delay in approval of, building per-
mits by: the district department
of health, Monday evening.

The service in! approval of per-
mits is very slow, they explain-
ed. Permits that were sent to the
Department last June for appro-
val, have been returned only this
month.

There was some discussion on

ipossible remedies but no deci-

sion was reached.

Fire Truck Housing
Problem Solved

The problem of finding a home
for Castlegar’s Number One fire
truck, has been solved."

Parks Commissioner Harry
Sommers told Monday’s commis-
sion meeting that an 8 ft. ex-
tension to the rear of the public
works garage has been completed
providing space for the village’s
public works truck.

The Number One firefighting
machine continues to be housed
inthe former public works truck.
stall and the new fire truck is
sheltered in the fire hall, garage.
The extension also provides fur-
ther storage space for pipe fit-
tings.

rage almost ten goals a. game, I
would have thought they were
joking, for after all,, when teams
have such net minders as John
Sofiak, Dave MaClay, Gerry Fo-
dey and Boomer Rodzinyak, who
have proved before that they are
capable men in guarding the
twine, it would be pretty hard to
believe.

Nevertheless in games played
to date, the four teams have gone
out and scored almost an average
of ten goals a game. .

I myself can’t believe that the
goal tenders in this league are as
bad as all that, nor do I believe
that the forwards are as good as
this may make them seem. But I
am quite convinced that the lea-
gue on a whole are lacking in
good defencemen.

Futhermore I will also go on
record as saying that if the blue
line boys continue to play as they
have~been doing, that come play
off time a team from another
league will be representing B.C.
for the Allan Cup.
