A special feature of the art.
show, which had been running
since the previous week, was
the- memorial exhibition of
works by Les Campbell of
Castlegar. Mrs. Campbell was
presented with a corsage and
retiring president Margery
McBain gave a short tribute to
Campbell as painter, musician
and poet.

The president reported
that events sponsored through-
out the year had been of a
consistent high quality, the
highlights being Brian Barnes’
one-man theatre

column (sponsored by the
Castlegar Savings Credit

Union) is a continuing success. *

A special vote of thanks was
given to the local media for
their unstinting co-operation.
Grants this year had to be
cut, as the total grant received
from the provincial government
was half of what was requested.
Mrs. McBain thanked the
executive and active directors
for their hard work and support
and noted a spirit of new
enthusiasm among members
following the success of ‘Loot’
and the Muhlfeld Trio concert,

‘The Provocative Oscar Wilde,’

College to Expand
Course to 2 Years

The Kootenay area has
always been active musically
and, during the past four years,
Selkirk College has played an
important part in this activity.

The music program, a one-
year intensive course, offers
training in these areas: theory,

* ear-training and writing skills

(harmony, melody, rhythm,
tone color); history (the story of
.music, civilization, class piano);
performance (class piano, pri-
vate lessons in selected instru-
ments, ensembles, concert);
skills such as movement ex-
ploration and audio techniques.

This program, along with

of the

music program

which makes music courses and ,

activities available to all area
people on a part-time basis, has
contributed to the quality of
musidanship in the West
Kootenay area.

Work is presently being
done to expand the present one-
year course to two years. It is
hoped the music program will
be part of the visual and per-
forming arts program which is
proposed for the David Thomp-
son University Centre in Nel-
son.

The co-directors and in-
structors of the music program,
Peter Huse (formerly of Trail)
and Dr. Vivienne Rowley (for-

merly of Vancouver) received
their bachelor of music degrees
in the same year. Huse holds a
master of fine arts in music
from Princeton University and
Rowley, a doctor of musical arts
from Boston University.

WARNING:

Dear Ann: So Happy Wally thinks he has something going with his
wife because he tucked $3,000 worth of 10-dollar bills in her bra
over the last 22 years! According to my figures that breaks down
to“success” once every 25 days. If the guy is normal he must have
been getting “favors” from caring friends or paying more
elsewhere. I'm no mathemetician, but I'm fairly wise in the ways of
the world,

t —World Traveller
Dear Traveller: Here's another—but this time I'm the one who
gets it in the neck.

* 2 #
Dearest Annie: Why didn’t you use a little foresight before you
rushed into print with that goofy letter from “Happy Wally"? Do
you have any idea how many breakfast plates that letter showed
up on?

One thing for sure—for a guy who says he majored in
economics, his figuring is lousy. Maybe he should ask his wife to do
it for love a few nights during the year and buy himself a pocket
calculator.

Subtracting the honeymoon years (he says six) from the 23
they've been married leaves 17. Now divide the $3,000 she kept by
$10 and you come up with 300. Divide 00 by 17 and you will find
the loving wife sold her favors once every 20 days. This is a
marriage?

—Not By My Standards

“9

Dear Ann: What an amazing (and dumb) arrangement Wally has
worked out with his wife. So he gets “lucky” 14 times a year. Big
deal. What happens the other 351 nights? A neater arrangement
would be for her to keep the $10 if she is not interested in his cheap
proposition. If she is and it’s worth it, she could return the $10 at
breakfast with an appropriate bonus thrown in. That’s more like it.
—For Playing Fair

Dear Annabelle: I'm writing about the guy who tucked a $10. bill
into his wife's bra when he was hot to trot and, over a period of 22
years, he figured over $3, 300 in 10's weren't returned. When his
wife had a headache she gave back his original $10 plus $5 of her
own.

Here’s the way I see it—$3,300 divided by $10 equals 330.
Twenty-two years equals 8,030 days (not counting leap year). Next
step: 8030 days divided by 330 equals 24.34—so—the happy dude
and his wife made it once every 24.34 days! All I can say is
WHOOQOOD-oco000-peeeeeeee!

Dear CPA: While the math differs ‘depending on who does the
figuring the message stays the same. Here's the last word:

Enjoy dramatic gress

then you must
know that we have lots of time
to put this brief together be-
cause we have nothing else to
do. You see, we have no job and
when we have no job our com-
pany is not making money.
When a company does not make
money, you can start looking
for poor management. The logic
of it all must shiver your
timbers just a little bit.

The reason we have no job
is very basic (sheer frustration)
which led to our. present

protest—or walkout—if you
veer to call it that.

(Editor's note: At this
point the letter makes personal
references which might be
considered actionable, and are
therefore omitted.)

Now then, when some
management people read this,
their first reaction will be of
consternation, of course,
they'll tell you, “what nerve!”
The second thing they'll tell you
will be what the public some-
times does; they'll tell you that
it is just a few irresponsible
characters doing all this.

Well sir, it was us irres-
ponsible characters that kept

+ your mill running when you

people decided to lay off a shift
without notice, putting 130 men
out of a job a month before
Christmas (we should have
gone home with them).

It was us who prevented
walkouts many times over, like
the time it took almost one year
to get drinking water in the
mill, or the time when we
almost’ killed five workers at
once, or how about the time
that we had to bring in the
Factories Act man to get our
lunch rooms cleaned up and our
washrooms disinfected (which,
by the way, we have to do
every two or three years
because of neglect).

Yes, you're listening to
those irresponsible characters
that spent many a night after
working all day patrolling the
graveyard shift during nego-
tigations to make sure the boys
‘didn't walk off the job because
there was nothing to be gained.
Or how about all the times that
we have had to go back to the
crew to tell them that what we
won a week ago was lost yester-
day because of games being
played with our contract?

We are those irresponsible
characters that, on the day of
the walkout, offered to sit down
all day, all night, yes, all
weekend if necessary, to try
and resolve our problems. But
we were told by the industrial
relations manager that not only
did their offices close at So’clock
that afternoon, but both he and
the new plant manager were
going to be busy all day Satur-
day—yes, until midnight, (to
quote the man) in Nelson on a
mine mill safety competition.

Not only does it make you
wonder what their priorities
are, it makes you wonder who's
irresponsible. While some peo-
ple have the misconception that

right to work laws mean just
that—only the right to work,
We, the plant committee at
the Castlegar sawmill, would
like to inform whoever is inter-
ested that even though we have
a good union in our plant, we
have a constant battle trying to
make the place fit to work in.
Yes, we have been on strike—
not for higher wages, not for
fringe benefits, no not to line
our pockets, just simply for
drinking water, for a safer
place to work, for cleaner
toilets and lunchrooms. Yes, for
the basic things in life.
* Just imagine this without a
union,

We can supply you with a :

list of problems that are up toa
year old. However, we now
have a more immediate prob-
lem, for we must now decide if
we are going to put up with it
any longer. The stage is set, our
maintenance department head,
like his old master, does not
believe in unions. Unfortu-
nately for him, we do.

In fact, we are a little like
you, Mr. President; we believe
that we are the best damn
union committee in B.C. and the
western United States if you
like. We also have the con-
fidence we need. You only need
to check our contract against
others—it will speak for itself.

Tronically, we think we can
also thank some of those above-
mentioned managers for the
way they treated us. It made us
fight ‘that much harder for
everything we got.

{Editor's note: At this
point the letter makes personal
references which might” be
considered actionable, and are
therefore omitted.)

You'll think, Mr. President,
that we are being somewhat
repetitious in our claim that we,
the committee, are not naive.
However, it must again be
emphasized, we are not naive
as to think that every worker in
the plant is a good strong union
man.

In line with that thought
we know that some of our
department heads (we had
some who used to be union
leaders) have no use for our
union. We think we can respect
their. views, being as demo-
cratic a committee as we are.
It's also worth noting when.we
had past union people as super-
visors we had some rather
peaceful relations, at times.

But, damn it all, what we
don’t understand is that top-
notch management, like your-
selves (the best in the west by
your own words) set up situa-
tions whereby you put super-
visors, without screening either
their ability or personality, in a

plant that has been unionized”

for 25 years and let them do
their thing.

(Editor's note: At this
point the letter makes personal
references which might be
considered actionable, and are
therefore omitted.)

«The message is clear; re-
move the one-way-only sign.
Let's get together like the
responsible people we all fee!
we are and clean up our
problems.

The end result will be
fantastic. The sawmill will be
humming, your employees will
be happy, the company will
make {ots of money, and yes,
top management and the union
committee will be able to havea
drink together and, while slap-
ping each other on their shoul-
ders, will be able to b.s. each
other that they weren't kidding
when they sdid that they were
the smartest damn bunch in the
west.

We don’t think that any of us
committee guys will ever be
president of this company. But
all of us share the same
thought. If we were, we'd be
listening.
