Elon Domeij Named President of KIDA Asa founding member of the Kootenay Industrial Devel- opment Association, and one who has recently retired as a successful businessman in the Trail area after many years, Elon Domeij moves into the post of president of KIDA with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Mr. Domeij has been in business in Warfield and Trail since 1958, owning the local Volkswagen dealership since 958. He sold his business in 1974, but rather than settle down to the easy life, he has thrown himself Into a variety of chureh and community activi- ties, in which KIDA takes an important role. His predecessor as KIDA president, Jim Cameron, has handed aver the gavel at a time when there are several inter- esting developments in the offing. As has been KIDA’s policy during its six-year exlsteace, disclosure of what these devel- opments might be is generally avoided for fear of disturbing the negotiating process. However, as Mr. Cameron pointed out in his 1974 report, new industry and expansion have brought between 250 and 1B new basle jobs to KIDA Country, with at least 200 other jobs goncrated indirectly. Mr. Cameron's view is that the one cent per capita per job created is an investment that the taxpayer would want to continue. ‘As with his predecessors, Elon Domeij will be working closely with KIDA’s commis- sioner, Austin Fraser—a man whom Mr, Cameron describes as highly effective, a valued Eremenko’s FIT-RITE SHOES Each honorable mention QUALITY SHOES for the : family Dress — Casual and was awarded $1, What Is considered to be” the best poster from each participating school has been sent to Vancouver for entry ina Our Footwear Will Meet the Need of Any Type Work or Any Occasion contest there being held on the provincial level, The Castlegar unit of the Canadian Cancer Society has expressed its appreciation to Bob Bennett of tho Castle Theatre who donated free passes to a show of the student's choice.
