Aside Church at Radium Hot Sprin

New Model “Way of the Cross” Shrine

For years, a small brown
and blue Roman Catholic
church has stood near the main
highway junction at Radium
Hot Springs. Now, visitors who
stop for a moment's peace will
find a new addition: the begin-
nings of the “Way of the Cross"
shrine.

It's the result of a remark-
able community effort that has
involved LIP grants, local dona-
tions, the energy of the local
Chamber of Commerce, and,

B.C. Motorist
May Belt Up
By August

B.C. motorists may have to
buckle up by August, according
to Transport Minister Jack
Davis,

Speaking during debate on
a bill to make the wearing of
seat belts mandatory, Davis
said the government is aiming
for an August start, adding that
the law will go into effect no
later than October.

The legislation, an amend-
ment to the Motor Vehicle Act,
received approval in principle
weeks ago with only Len Baw-
tree (SC—Sh voting

most important, the determina-
tion of a Radium businessman,

It began with George Stan:
ley, a longtime Radium resident
who built and ran Radium's
first hotel. He donated the land
for the church: he had a
life-long dream that a shrine
representing the 14 stations of
the cross would one day stand
beside the church,

He started the project by
giving land for the shrine, on a
steep hillside that rises behind
the Our Lady Queen of Peace
church. He also donated land
forsale, with proceeds going.
toward construction of the
shrine.

Local volunteers. set to
work, clearing the land and
laying out switchback trails
that risé up the hill, then cut
back down again. A Calgary
architect donated a scale model
of the setting and the shrine.

Then Radium sculptor Bud
Amy set to work on the first of
the life-size figures for the
shrine. To avoid problems with
vandalism, he chose to work in
fibreglass, stained to wood
tones, and to create figures ina
traditional design.

To date, three. of the
stations are complete: Jesus is

against it.

The bill requires that al-
most all people riding in an
automobile wear a lap belt. It
excludes children under six and
those who can't wear belts for
medical reasons.

Bawtree said later that he
opposed the legislation per:
sonally and has had a negative
response to it from the con-
stituents,

Davis said Ontario's ex-
perience with seat belt laws
indicates that $12.3 million will
be saved in B.C. each year in
hospital and medical costs. He
said 3,000 fewer people will be
injured on B.C. highways each
year and 43,600 hospital bed-
days can be saved.

d to die; Jesus meets
his sorrowful ‘mother; and
Jesus is raised upon the cross
and dies,

The visitor to the shrine
now can walk the paths that
lead up the hill to a magnificent
view of the Columbia Valley to
the east and the beginning of
Kootenay National Park to the
west,

To reach the shrine—pro-

+ bably the only one of its scale in

Western Canada—turn west on
Highway 93 at Radium Hot
Springs; the church and the
Queen of Peace Shrine are close
to the highway junction.

In former times, politicians
occasionally made sound re-

Acute Care Hospital
~ Required at New Denver,

A new acute-care hospital
rather than a diagnostic centre

+ should be built at New Denver,

according to the regional! hospi-
tal board,

Many Slocan residents had
feared they would lose nearby
medical attention if the existing

+ old hospital were replaced with

the diagnostic centre the pro-
vincial government planned to.
build.

The present Slocan Com-
munity hospital in New Denver
was built in 1898, and is con-
sidered totally inadequate by
modern standards. While it has
23 beds, more than enough, it
does not have some basic life-
saving equipment, nor other
essentials such as an elevator.

There are. about 1,000
people in New Denver and dis-
trict.

A diagnostic centre would
have been a “glorified doctor's
office” according to Martin
Vanderpol. He is head of the
hospital advisory committee
which last week recommended
the building of a new hospital.

One of the major fears as-
sociated with the centre was
that a doctor would’ not be
willing to work at one. That
could mean the area would lose
its only resident doctor.

While centralizing expert
hospital treatment makes sense
medically, transportation in the
Slocan is not excellent, Van-
