Wanted: One Sports Arena! gos les

The Project Society public meeting last week, turned out to be
‘tthe expression of public opinion the Society directors were honing
for, 1a fact the enthusiasm and united support of the 300 at the
far the di i in view of the
p to their i at gauging

public: opinion, * ‘

The meeting proved one thing at least. There are well over 300
people in this community, (a lot of them were unable to attend the
meeting) who are heartily in accord with the Project Society's de-
sision to build a sports arena here. Many of these people are all
in favor of not only starting the, project but carrying it through
to completion once started.

But as was pointed out at the. imesting, a ‘sports arena of the
type proposed, cannot be a mere Projects Society undertaking. It
must have the’ support, both financial, moral and even perhaps
physical of a majority in the district. Designed for the use of the
whole district, it must have district support,

But there is no reason why the project should not have the
solid backing of the community and become reality, In the first
Place, a sizeable sum is available to make a start with. Granted,
$30,000 is only a fraction of the total of $175,000 estimated’ to com-
plete the arena. But the fact that an site is also ilabl

EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN
There has been a steadily
growing pressure recently for
equalization of pay between.men
and women doing the same work
and if my crystal telescope isn’t
more out of focus than usual,
we're in for squalls — iterally
and figuratively:

The question arises therefore,
where do reasonable beings like
you and I stand and what do we
stand for? We,cannot choose. by
the “eenie, meenie, mienie, mos.”

of reason, nor can we choose by

there is in trying to prove that
two and two. adds up to three and
a half.”

The real reason behind the pay
differential is a‘desire to empha-.
size some hypothetical superior-
ity; a desire to get the same work
done for less cost or sheer “orn-
eryness.” This hypocrisy is a
carry-over from the days ‘of the

“mutton-chops” whiskers and the
“wasp-waist”. and its time is long
nigh up.

NO MIXED BLESSING

I don't however, expect equal-

ization of pay to be an unmixed

you can't remain indifferent. to

examine the situation.

an the old cemetery grounds, next to the B.C. Forestry Station, and
that the -front lots can be sold to boost the $30,000 nest egg a bit
more, reduces the formidability of the project.

7 It bolls down to how serious-we think the lack of suitable re-
sreational’ facilities,is. If most of us-agreé that the lack is most
serious indeed, and that a Sports arena is the best way of remedy-
ing the defect; if we agree that facilities are needed and will .be
needed ever more desperately in the future for adults and children’s
wecreation as well as for functions of.a district nature, then we'll
give the Prbjects Society all the backing we can in whatever way
we can, and there will be a Castlegar and District Sports Arena at
Gastlegar in the next year or two.

to me that man is a rationalizing

half to build, Excavation for the
project began in the latter part
of May, 1952 and work has been
proceeding steadily, since.

F. Soberlak, formerly of Trail,
who have had considerable ex>

ond floor ‘of the hotel, becomes

confident, that with Castlegar’s
central location in the West Koo-

need of the area.

Another modern feature of the
building “is, private
