‘Letter to the Editor

Dear Sir:

T would like to add a word
lo the recent article which
expressed concern that local
‘gitizens can no longer show
23yheir TV programs over cable-
ision, because Community Vi-
leo seems unwilling to co-
a erate in.such a venture.

from the West Kootenay Power
and Light Company's South
Slocan generating plant.

he canal [s now virtually
complete, and work is preceed-
ing with installation of generat-
Ing equipment,

Kootenay Canal will be the
first of the several hydro-
electric projects now under
construction to come on line,
with the first two 125,000-
kilowatt units scheduled for
service this fall. The other two
125,000-kilowatt units will be
placed in service in 1976,

A third hydro-clectric dev-
clopment in the Kootenays Is
just starting at Seven Mile site
on the Pend d'Oreille River,
some 12 miles southeast of

‘rail,

Here a 216-foot-high con-
crete dam and a powerhouse
will be constructed for run-of-
the-river operation. The gener-
ating plant will take advantage
of upstream water storage in
the United States,

‘The Seven Mile project is
unique in that it will provide a
higher power, yield for each
acre flooded than for any other
potential site in British Colum-

Ultimately the Seven Mile
plant will have a generating
capacity of 700,000 kilowatts in
four units, It will flood only
about 500 acres of land, much of
which is precipitous river bank.
Three units will be installed
initially, with first power sche-
duled for 1980.

Before the. modulator

a useful means to discourage

I'm sure they could also
afford to hire someone to aid in

Two Charges
Of Failing
To Yield Laid

Two accidents on Wednes-
day of last week, one in this
cily, and the other about seven
mites cast at Thrums, caused an
estimated $3,600 damage.

RCMP have laid two
charges of failing to yield to
oncoming ‘traffic,

The accident near Thrums
involved Mabel Kinakin, of
Thrums and Anne Bayoff, also
of Thrums. Total damage to the
vehicles was $2,500. Ms. Kina-
kin was charged by Castlegar
ROMP,

‘The incident in the city
saw Douglas Bentley charged
by ROMP. Operator of the
other vehicle was Catherine
Kruetsky. Both are of Kinnaird.
Vehicle damage was estimated
at $1,100.

An RCMP spokesman said
road conditions were icy al the
Lime of both collisions, and that
only very minor injuries were

reported.

Answer:

Pink grapefruit has no
more nutritional: value than
white, bul sometimes it costs
more. Regardless af skin color,
choose citrus fruits with thin
skins when buying by weight,
as you receive proportionately
more flesh and juice than with a
thick-skinned item,

ATV commercial stated

that french fried potatoes are a

good source of Vitamin C. Since.

potatoes are cheaper than
citrus fruit jufces, could I use
potatoes to provide my family
with their daily Vitamin C
requirement?

Answer:

As compared to citrus
fruits and their juices, which
have an excellent Vitamin C
content of 100 to 124 mg/cup,
potatoes have only 12 to 22
mg/cup. Also, some of the
vitamin content of the patotoes
is lost duting storage, prepara:
tion and cooking-

With these unknown losses
and-the low initial Vitamin C
content of potatoes there is no
way of knowing the remaining
vitamin content in the french
fries you may buy. Considering
food vatue for money spent you
should continue serving citrus
fruit juices as your family’s

worthwhile buying? .

Answi %

Unlike ice‘dcam which is
made with cream having a 10
per cent fat content, ice-milk is
made with whole milk and milk
solids only.

Although this combination
actually increases the calories
and decreases the Vitamin D
content of ice-milk, the fat
content is noticeably lower—a
fact important to anyone wish-
ing to decrease his fat intake.
‘The protein and B and G
Vitamin content is slightly
increased and the ealcium con:
