ONE FOR THE ROAD!

.

Not. if you want to make it through 1974! That
slightly out-of-focus yision, that not-quite-perfect co-
ordination can get a lot of laughs at a party. Out on

the road it brings tears,

Drunken drivers aren't the only staggering figures. The

statistics on car accidents caused by them are pretty

es courtesy of that chap who had to have just one

one more for the road.

It.is the season to be merry. It is the time for good
fellows to get together: to celebrate. And we want yea

to kelp right on colebroting — all through the year.

Remember. Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of
your life. Be here to enjoy it. Don‘t make it one for

the road. Make it home safely instead.

Building Values
Show Increase

Reports Shutek

There is less building being
done in Castlegar this year but
it seems to be worth quite a bit
more with the total value of
building permits so far in 1973
totaling $848,861.

During the same period
last. year building permits were
Valued at‘only $537,981; This is
an increase of $310,880.

For the.month of Novem-
ber the value is down by $6,366
compared to November of last
year. This may be due to, the
severity of the weather and the
abnormal amounts of snow,

speculated Ald. Andy Shutek in™

reporting these figures to
council's meeting last week.
