A written motion was presented by Basil Macalister and then tabled until such a time as Mr. Macalister would be present. The motion read as fol- lows: “Whereas the atmospheric condition of the Castlegar area has caused serious deteriora- tion of real property and contributed to physical distress of some residents, and whereas it has been established that the atmospheric contamination ori- ginates in the Castlegar area, therefore be it resolved that: 1.

What future plans has B.C, Hydroas far as electrical power is concerned for the Syringa Creek area? This is the question the Castlegar and District’ Chami- ber of Commerce have put to Hydro after receiving a letter at its Thursday meeting stating the distance involved in provid- ing service rendered the cost infeasible. \ At present the Arrow Boat Club is using diesel power but W. Waldie told members prior to the building of the Keenley- side Dam he was of the opinion service. was being maintained two miles past that point, Now with the developing of the Syringa Creek Park the chamber’ would like to know. just what, if any, plans B.C. Hydro has for. servicing this area. From Page 1 Deer Park Road Fund were only able to do the clearing and push through a ‘tote’ road, This section is 1.35 miles in’ length and can be constructed to an 11 per cent grade, “We follow from this bridge, which is located on an old public road known as ‘Deer Park South’, for a distance of 2.08 miles. “This section of road is very crooked and mainly onelane in width with a minimum of gravel. Before we can reconstruct here we must prepare. plans and deal with several private property own- ers, - “The last 0.9 miles into Deer Park was partially cleared with a bulldozer trail climbing around and over considerable solid rock, The grades once the road is completed on this 0.9 From Page 1 mites will be less than those on the other now stretches of road, “Late in March we were able to gravel the first 1.6 miles and in early May we hope to have available an experienced rock scaling crew to work between the Park and Grey Wolf, “Generally speaking, the now sections of road were located so that, other than gravel, no work will be lost as the need for a higher standard arises.” In conclusion Mr, Mc- Keown said, “We are aware some people have been negotia- ting the road right through to Deer Park but this is not recommended due tothe dangerous descent into Deer Park and the fact that the high rock bluffs have not been properly scaled. For these reasons the road is still officially closed.” Colcel Take-Over Okayed corporations, He indicated that if the government were to do more for smaller operations “that would achieve growth in the area.” The Liberal leader sug- gested that if new rail lines to properly service the northwest forest areas were established, they could talk about 129,000 population increase. The Liberal talk-feat was interrupted by brief comments from Hartley Dent’ (NDP Skeena) and House Tory leader Scott Wallace who both indi- cated people in the northwest were favoring the govern: ment's:Colcel action. Mr. Dent said “there is a new sense of security in the northwest.” He added that many people have considered that their jobs would have been in jeopardy if previous pro- posals to allow Colcel to sell off. its money-making Castlegar operation to Weyerhauser had been carried out. He also said such industr- ies as tourism will be made More secure by the government take-over. He cited Terrace- area hotels as_ beneficiaries because they could n ot exist if + it were not for Colcel business, and thus’ could not” supply. accommodation for tourists. Noting that the bill was the most difficult on which to make a support decision, Dr. Wallace opted ia favor “with less enthusiasm” than support for the Ocean Falls legislation. The reason for his reti- cence was that it involved much larger sums of money, but his support finally came because and sales taxes. He said Colcel had original- ly run into problems because they had never built a mill before and made some basic locational and planning errors. He indicated Celanese Cor- poration, Colcel’s parent in New York, had lost interest in its B.C. operations because it had found it could get the fibre it needed cheaper from cotton. Dr. McGeer also inferred that the B.C. Federation of Labor would be negotiating directly with Resources Minis- ter Williams for B.C. Cellulose. He was hooted on that point, however, by several labor- oriented NDP. MLA's who pointed out that Colcel em- ployees are represented by the Pulp and Paper Workers of Canada, a Canadian union not recognized by the BCFL. Dr. McGeer wrapped up his comments by noting that with limited government capi- tal available, the money should have been put into rail construction rather than into northwest “superstructure.” Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy said the Liberals could oppose the take-over on philo- sophical grounds, but not in business terms. He-also:ribbed Ed_..Smith;;(SC-North ‘Peace River) for earlier. suggesting it would cost the government $500 million to equip its pulp mills to meet the anti-pollution standards Socreds would like to see, Mr. D'Arcy said the Socreds’ interest. in anti- pollution standards was “new found”, adding that all mills, the two bills were with reference to human values.” ‘Mr. Williams heckled that the Tory house leader was reticent over the large amounts of money involved because of his “ethnic background” (Dr. Wallace is Scottish-born). The Tory replied that concern for. spending “is one every politi- cian should have.” Back to the Liberals, Pat McGeer. (Liberal-Point Grey) referred also to the Menzies Report. He said the report indicated northern mineral. production could increase by 1,000 per cent’ and forestry production by 2,000 per‘ cent if only the governments would build the necessary rail facili- ties. y Dr. McGeer said 37,000 new jobs could be created in two decades without costing the taxpayers anything. He suggested, in fact, that govern- ments would get 50 per cent of that increase through corpora- tion, logging, minerals, income “PAINT SALE CONTINUES a ROOfehay Building Supplies © ly or publicly led, would have to adhere to NDP anti-pollution standards. Dave Broussan (Liberal- North Vancouver Capilano) wound up the Liberal talk-fest by saying there hag been little of depth in financial detail revealed from the take-over negotiations. Because of that, he said, the Liberals had to resort to opposing the basic principle rather than talking about the business aspects. Mr. Williams had said earlier in. the~debate that people in Prince Rupert, Terrace, Revelstoke, Nakusp and Castlegar would be the main beneficiaries of the bill which, he said, would look after the human and regional pro- blems the multi-national corp- orations had failed to. He also said minority” shareholders would provide new “imput” inte the Cellulose operation, and that 9.1 million acres of forest land involved would finally be properly utilized. Mr. Williams referred to the “enclosures” in the West . Kootenay resulting from what he said was Colcel blockage of public benefit from the forest land. : 3 He also indicated multi- national corporations often mismanage in cases when local people would not, and cited VANDALISMIIT!: The Town of Kinnaird has been plagued by senseless vandalism and will deal severely with anyone found responsib‘e for depredations. Residents are urged to be alert and to cooperate by reporting any icious activity to the RCMP. For Movie Information Phone 365-581?

Elk can become very aggressive, particularly the cows with newly-born calves by their side. The club would.also like to | stress-the importance of keep- ing dogs being exercised at the park under some kind of control and not left to run at will. This will prevent the cows from being harassed while introduc- ing their newly-born into the world. At the last meeting of the Wildlife Association slides were shown on birds and water fowl in the local area by well known naturalist, Bill Merilees. Also a Hobby Show pencil, as well as a variety of handmade nursery rhyme dolls and cuddly stuffed toys.

The large number of bears at the dump was also discussed and concern was shown for the safety of people hiking or riding in that area.
