The passing of month after month without indication from the Celgar Development Company when a start is to be made on their $65 million dollar project in this area has given rise to considerable ion and i ‘ision in the C. and Arrow Lakes Districts, The position of these communities is similar to that of a bride who has been told to prepare for the coming of her bridegroom but has been given no indication of the time of his arrival nor what is required in the way of preparation for him. We appreciate that there are a thousand and one details that must be settled before bulldozers, power: shovels, steel, lumber and technicians can begin to be for the big s pro- ject. No doubt, there are a number of circumstances in the lengthy preparations that must precede that necessitate an element of secrecy. : At the same time we also feel this area is entitled to have something more solid than rumors.on which to base its preparations for'the future industrial boom, and growth, in this area, Editor L.

One female author stated flatly that women expression, “All’s fair in love and war.” Could it be that the writer was not really interested in dressed not for men, but against lother women... ?
