LET THEM BURN

* The Castlegar Village Council at its next
regular meeting should present and pass a
motion forbidding village fire equipment’ to
answer calls outside village boundaries,

Fire chief Ed Lewis at the last meeting
of the council told of three specific instances
when village fire equipment had left local
taxpayers unprotected while it answered calls
outside the village. Fires for which bills were
sent but no payment received.

In short, Castlegar taxpayers are sub-
sidizing persons outside the limits of the vil-
lage. They are paying for those fires outside
the village and jeopardizing their own com-
munity while doing so.

(t wasn’t too long ago that Sherbiko
sub-division residents refused incorporation
into the villege. And why not? Fire protection
is now provided for nothing. Why come into
the village and pay for it!

MONEY AND A POOL

The Kinnaird improvement Society is to
be congratulated on its appointment of a
committee to study the possibilities of a
swimming pool for Kinnaird,

The District needs a swimming pool and
if it is to be located at Kinnaird well and good
-~- as long as we get one.

The need for a swimming pool in the
District was vividly and unfortunately demon-
strated with the drowning of 21-year-old
Bob Brandson. A fund in his name for the
eventual building of a swimming pool now
stands at over $100.

Two steps have now been made toward
a pool. A committee has been appointed to
look into one and there is over $100 avail-
able to them for preliminary work as soon
as they make a concrete proposal, Perhaps a
swimming pool for Kinnaird and District isn’t
too far off.

$71,995,000 SPENT ON BRIDGES

$320,000,000 Spent on Roads in Six Years

During the past six years, the
British Columbia government has
spent over $320,000,000 on high-
way reconstruction, bridges and
maintenance,

In addition to this, the B.C.
Toll Highways and Bridges Au-
thority will have spent $71,995,-
000 on seven major toll bridges
which have been ‘completed or
are nearing completion.

* Ghese figures were disclosed
by an official of the B.C. De-
partment. of Highways to the
Kelowna Courier, in giving a
resume of highway and bridge
construction.

When the Social Credit gov-
ernment was first elected to pow-
er in 1952, the policy of the ad:
ministration was to Jaunch a ma-
jor highway reconstruction and
bridge building program.

Nelson Bridge, Middle Arm or
Morey Channel at the Fraser
River connecting Lulu Island
with Sea Island with Oak Street
Bridge, the Oak Street Bridge,
Kelowna Bridge, and Second
Narrows Bridge.

The Deas Island Tunnel, be-
ing built at an estimated cost of
$23,100,000, will be completed
around April, 1959.

It connects the proposed lim-

The Agasst: Bridge
costing around $4,950,000, was
completed on September 30,
1956, It spans the Fraser River
im the vicinity of Agassiz and
connects the Trans-Canada

Highway with the, Lougheed
Highway.

The Nelson Bridge, which
spans the west arm of the Koot-
enay Lake at Nelson was com-
pleted in October, 1957, at a cost
of $4,400,000, i

It is an integral part of Sou-
thern Trans-Provincial: Highway
eliminating the car ferry service
and indirectly serves the Mon-
ashee Highway and also Arrow
Lake route to connect. with
Trans-Canada at Revelstoke,

The Middle ‘Arm Bridgo
which spans the Fraser River
connecting Lulu Island with
Seca Isalnd and Is directly con-
nected with the Oak Street
Bridge, was completed on June
30, 1957. It cost $1,045,000.

The Onk Street Bridge built
at a cost of $6,000,000 was also
completed in June, 1957, It spans
the north arm of the Fraser
River connecting the City . of
Vancouver with Lulu Island, and
will serve the large volume of
inter-urban traffic between Van-
couver and the International Air-
port at Sea Island,

. The Kelowna Bridge, com-
Pleted a few weeks ago, cost
around’ $7,500,000. It spans Lake
Okanagan between Kelowna and
Westside, and closes the last gap
in Highway 97 running from the
U.S.-Canadian border to its con-
nection on Trans-Canada High-

way.
The Second Narrows Bridge,
costing (original estimate) $22,-
200,000 will be completed late
In 1959.

Disaster struck this bridge
about a month ago, when two
spans toppled into the Narrows
a few short weeks before the
remaining gap was to have becn

This bridge spans the cast

, It will serve the large vol-
ume of inter-urban traffic; will
serve as an alternate route to
Upper Levels Highway and may
form part of Trans-Canada High-
way stem. A full-scale investiga-
tion is currently underway.

pI
ed concern at the population problem which
will be brought about in Castlegar by the
completion of Celgar and the Kinnaird-Cas-
cage highway if the village isn't prepared for
them.

“What's this pulp mill and highway go-
ing to do to Castlegar?” he asked. “What are
we to prepare for?”

He said “its not a matter of putting
anyone on the spot” but of getting sufficient
information so that the village can plan for
tne added population, added services and
added expenditures. :

Let us hope that the letters Mr. Mad-
docks recommended be sent receive satis-
factory answers, If they do, Castlegar will
be able to plan intelligently for the future.

A WEEKLY MESSAGE FROM
THE CASTLEGAR MINISTERIAL
ASSOCIATION

TOPICS

Peace is one of the erying needs of man-
kind, Peace in industry and between nations
depends upon mans outlook on life.

We are often told peace is made in the
mind of mon. How little peace there is for
man in the world today. We live in a noisy
civilization—radios and TV sets blare out
noise. Even the guietness of our gardens is
broken with the noise of power mowers,
while overhead the jets and other planes dis-
turb our peace.

Juke boxes even make our meals noisy.
Noise harms mans nerves. Perhaps the rea-
son for fishing being so popular is that the
fisherman can get away from man-made
noises ammid the stillness of nature.

! suggest that you use this holiday sea-
son to get away from noise and calm your
nerves with the peace provided by the lake
or countryside.

Mans mind, too, has little peace in it
in these days of tension and worry about the
future. Most people don’t bother about sin
and the breaking of God's laws, but in the

hearts of all of us there is a subconscious
frustration which is due to sin.
The secret of peace in our hearts is‘to

Yes, the first eight ‘pages of the special Centennial

have God there.

!saiah said long ago: “Thou wilt keep
him in perfect peace Whose mind is stayed on
God.” It is the peace of Ged which passes
all understanding and which is based on, the
knowledge and love of Gad. :

. The old hymn, ‘Peace, perfect peace in
this dark world of sin.” asks the question how
we can find peace in sin, sorrow, business,
lonliness and death. .

The answer is given that only through
Jesus can we find peace. Read that hymn
occasionally. We can find this wonderful
peace of God if we let Him into our hearts
tnrough prayer, reading the bible and sacra-
ment.

Keep a few minutes. of every day for
silent meditation and you will find the peace
of God even in this noisy, restless and frust-
tated world. You will help to bring it peace.
