- CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Jan. 21, 1965 ~ CASTLEGAR NEWS “Here let the press the pecple's rights and unawed by d by gata”? Established in Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Seven “It's Only 20 Per Cent 6f'50 Per Cent Of major importance to Castlegar. school district ratepayers was the disclo- gure at the Nelson regional college semin- ‘ar on Saturday of the financial aspects: of the proposed -college. The Castlegar school district will pay only 10 per cent of the capital costs of building and equipping the college and will pay only 5 per cent of its operating Costs yearly after that. If the federal gov- ernment shares substantially in the fin- aneing of the technical programs at the college, and it’s expected that it will, then the cost to the local taxpayer will be re- On Bilingualisn Everything seems to have been said about bilingualism — in two languages. The contentious quality of the dia- logue might vanish if people would re- member that you can express the same’ ideas in French and in English. For in- stance, goodwill is translatable from: one language to the other. It all boils down to the fact that in the long run what is said is going to be more important than the language in which it is spoken. — The Printed Word duced even further. ; As it stands now, the proviricial gov- ernment will pay half the capital construc- tion costs including half the cost of equip- ping the buildings. This nieans that of the remaining half of the capital costs, Castle- gar will pay 20 per cent of 50 per cent, Trail will pay 47 per cent of 50 per cent, Nelson will pay 20 per cent, and the Slo- can, Arrow Lakes and Grand Forks school: districts will pay 4, 4 and 5 per cent res- pectively. Since 20 per cent of 50 per cent is only 10 per cent of the full cost, the Castlegar school district will get a $2 million college campus for a contribution of only $200,000! And it is in the year-to-year operation of the college that we get even more of an educational bargain. Regional college ONE MAN’S OPINION council president James Gray that operation of the college will cost $400,000 annually. But this time besides the provincial: government picking up half the cost; student fees will account for an additional 25 per cent. Thus, the Cas- tlegar school district’s share of the opera- tional costs will in this case be 20 per cent of 25 per cent, or 5 per cent of $400,- 000 which is-only $20,000! The regional. college is an educational bargain that ratepayers in the Castlegar school district can’t afford to turn down. 10 No Votes are Equal to 15 Yes Votes Local organizations interested in the establist t of the proposed West Koo-' tenay regional college here (particularly the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the special regional college publicit ; : tee which backed the college locally when ! the plebiscite for approval of the college : in' priiciple was presented) should start to prepare now for the college money bylaw y which is expected to be presented during ; the last week of February. sree : The Jaycees; have a‘ tr dous :re- ! cord for getting out the vote in municipal > elections and they should start to gear.up -which was headed by the Kiwanis Club’s - ‘campaign by dove-tailing 10 aid of local service,clubs so that on voting. day they can mount a teleph ig Victoria Report By JAMES K.

(If the bylaw does not receive this 60 per cent re- quirement within any individual school district, that school district will still be financially committed to the college if the bylaw receives an overall 60 per cent approval.)’ peas Ten “no” votes have the power of 15 “yes” votes. E : It is this last point—the power of “the no votes—that makes organization for voting day so- important within the Cas- tlegar school district, We must have a heavy yes vote here to counteract any no votes cast in any of the other five partici- pating school ‘districts. Every 15'yes votes’ cast here are extremely important as they will negate the effect of any 10 no votes cast elsewhere in the ‘West Kootenay and Bowindary. area. ¢ = All those -interested in the establish- ment of the regional, college here look to, the Jaycees and Mr. Corbett’s commit- . tee to provide the leadership necessary in promoting the college money “bylaw in School District No. 9.
