Committee
Appointments
Trustee's Concern

A report was made last
week stating that the deadline
for the appointments of govern-
ment appointees is Feb. 29 and
that this is causing Selkirk
College council concern in that,
it had just enough members for
@ quorum at its last monthly
meeting.

Trustee Eileen Hughes
saya the concern she expressed
at the last board of trustees
meeting was not that of the
appointees, but that college
council had only until the end of
the month of name its commit.
tee appointments and it would
be necessary to have a quorum
to attend to this matter.

ing the way it is also preached
off the pulpit,

Faith is now in a crucible;
it is being tested by fire and
there is no fixed and sufficient
resting place for the heart and
mind, But in the throne of God
what {s needed now as never
before is a full positive con-
structive setting forth of the

hood of God,

Thope that in future times
such a blasphemy against a holy

Good Citizen for 1975

The 1976 Good Citizen of
the Year for 1975 for the
Castlegar district is Mra,
Marge (Reg) Bro of Robson,
who was honored at a special
banquet hosted by the Castle-
gar Kiwanls Club on Tuesday
evening,

The following is the pre-
sentation made by club member
Bruce Gerrand in announcing
Mra, Bro as citizen of the year:

It is my pleasure to sum-
marize, in a few moments, the
many accomplishments and ser-
vicea which have led to the:
selection of Marge Bro as
Castlegar's Citizen of the Year
for 1976,

One characteristic in com-
mon with other good eltizens' of
the year is Marg’s involvement.
She chose some 30 years ago,
when moving to Robson, to
become involved in two associa.
tions and as a result has
contributed greatly to Girl
Guiding and the church.

For eight years Marge was
a Guiding captain and headed a
company of Gir) Guides. She
saw a need for an organization
for girls once they had left
Guides at the age of 16 so she
was responsible for starting, in
Robson, the Rangers—a follow-
up to Guides, Not only did she
start the organization but she
worked with them in the
capacity of advisor-leader.

For another six years
Marge was camp advisor for
the Twin Rivers division of the
Guides. Her task in this capa-
city was to ensure that the Girl
Guide leaders could provide
adequate leadership in camping
skills for the girls. Time and a
great deal of it, was necessary
for the training of leaders
because the Twin Rivers dis-
trict stretches from Nakusp to
Genelle to Grand Forks as well
as including the greater Castle-
gar area.

Following this camp ad-
visor position, Marge spent
three years as division commis-
sioner. Again, much time was
spent in liaison work between
the division and the- five
districts, Involvement at this
level includes attendance at
Guide meetings on special

Last summer Marge took
eight Girl Guides from the East
and West Kootensys to Camp
Olaf near Sechelt, She went as
a supervisor and camping train-
ing leader and ended up as
camp commandant.

Still involved, Marge is
area camp advisor. This area,
includes the East and West
Kootenays. An area camp ad-
visor must find people to do the
actual camping work with the
girls, and co-ordinate work
among many divistons, Cer-
tainly liaison work of the
divisional leaders would be an
important and time consuming
task,

You can appreciate from
the involvement in Girl Guiding
the Robson area in particular,
and the West Kootenays in
general, have been very for-

inal
member of their community.

The second major involve-
ment of Marge's has been the
church and Resker Hall.

Again, let me list her
involvement with this en-
deavor.

In 1964 Marge, with her
husband and a few other.
people, saw a need for a church
hall, The year 1968 saw the
dedication of Resker Hall, Since
then, both Marge and Reg are
called upon to do maintenance
work on Resker Hall including
painting and minor repairs. As
well, Marge has been treasurer
of the Resker Hall board since
its inception.

Marge has been involved |

with both the building and the
People from the church. For
many years she taught Sunday
School and was even the
superintendent of the school,

The Womens’ Association
of the church is a group of'
ladies that meets in the after-

“moons and does work for the
church. Marge has held every
table office in the organization
and is currently in her second
year as president.

There is another group in
Robson called the Robson Wo-
men's Evening Group. Again,
Marge has worked hard for the
group both with projects and on
the end of

occasions, dit among
the districts as well as paper
work. During Guiding Week,
when Marge was_out day and,
night, I imagine Reg must have
wondered if he'could not have

” used a little guiding himself.

During the summer Mrs,
Bro was not idle. For 15 years
she helped with Camp Rory, a
summer camp for Brownies and
Guides. She helped with read-

things. This group of people
involve themselves in a variety

of, fund-raising activities such
weddi

as catering to. weddings.\Re-
muneration from “these ven-
tures is spread around to the
church, recreation commission,
Cancer Fund, Heart Fund, etc.

Finally, Marge, for a num-
ber of years, has been on the
board of stewards for the

largely the result of Mrs, Bro's
endeavors, Further to being
instrumental in getting tho
kindergarten set up, Marge did
and still does help with Its
operation,

Something that everybody
appreciates is a good neighbor.
When talking with Marge's
friends, they tell mo she spares
no effort to help them. Whether
a ride is needed, groceries are
needed or a myrid of other
thoughtful things, Marge ts
willing to help. Her neighbors
heartily agree Marge is a good
