apartment, crammed with auto car parts a
literature about the race.

Finding sponsors has not been easy So far, Fowler
has received some small donations and $1,000 from the
City of Edmonton along with an oral promise of $20,000.

“The tough thing is trying to explain what you're
doing,” Fowler said. “You're all pumped up, you're all
excited about it, but try to explain that to someone on the
other side of the table who can't really see the potential.”

He believes the fund-raising effort is beginning to
bear fruit and he'll have enough to pay for the race.

Although he needs to find gears for the transmission
and rear axle, Fowler expects to have his car, named
Spirit of Edmonton, completed in late April.

Not only will Fowler be transformed from a graphic
artist into a race-car driver, but the 1930 Chev chassis
will be making its debut in the racing world.

Fowler is transforming the chassis, which he
believes to be the remains of a two-door sedan, into a
1990s-style, dirt-track racer.

Dissatisfied with the spindly original steering wheel,
Fowler substituted a massive wheel with a black,

Fowler posts a sign on his apartment wall every
week to remind him how long it will be until that June

curly, brown hair, tugs a pair of goggles over his eyes and

Winners entertain
Castlegar Rotary Club

By JOHN CHARTERS

Four winners came to the
Castlegar Rotary Club dinner
last week and gave the
Rotarians some lessons on
how it was done.

Melanie Smithers, Grade
8; Sara Healing, Grade 3;
Graeme Basson, Grade 5; and
Jody Carew, Grade 6, all of
Kinnaird Elementary School,
accompanied by their prin
cipal Paul Phipps, came to
the dinner at the invitation of
the club to present the
speeches that had made them

the top speakers in the public
speaking contest during edu-
cation month.

Melanie Smithers, whose
topie was How Leaves
Change Their Color, caught
her audience's attention im
mediately with her opening
line: “As soon as the leaves
start falling my ~ mother
starts singing:”

Sarah Healing spoke about
witehes and Graeme Basson
about Fairy Tales. Jody Car.
ew came up with a number of
interesting and ‘imusing

Seniors celebrate
St. Patrick's Day

The Castlegar Senior Citi
zens Association held its
monthly social meeting
March 20 which took theme
of a St. Patrick's Day party.
The hall was tastefully dec
orated for the occasion.

Dave Adshead was in
charge of the register, wear.
ing a large green bow tie.
Nels Latta, wearing a flat
brimmed white straw hat
trimmed with green ribbon,
and also wearing a green bow
tie, took donations of silver
from those wishing to gain
the gift of flattery by kissing
the Blarney Stone. On the
table in front of him was a
large rock taken right from
the stone itself.

After opening with O Can
ada, program convenor La
Dell Lipsett introduced asso-
ciation member Axel Nielsen,
who spoke about his early
pioneer days. He told of
coming to Canada from Den
mark in 1929 and making his
way to Taylor Flats in the
Peace River Country, where
an uncle lived.

But it soon became ap-
parent that Nielsen was just
one more mouth to feed, so
he looked for means of sup
porting himself. Not knowing
English, it wasn't easy. He
related stories of the times it

was -50 degrees and holes
had to be cut in the ice three
to four feet thick to get
drinking water; of learning to
fell trees; of building a log
cabin; and of his adventures
with a pack rat. It was the
Depression years, and dried
out Prairie farmers were
coming to the Peace River
country for free homesteads.
Some came in covered wag
ons, often leading a cow and
calf behind.

After several years, Niel
sen was able to sell his home
stead for enough money to
take a trip back to Denmark.

The next item on the
March 20 program was a
reading by Ruth Waldie en.
titled, The Legend of the
Blarney Stone. Then Kaela
Tompkins danced two Irish
dances. She looked the part
of a little Irish Colleen in a
green jumper with white
blouse and apron.

The members then sang
some Irish songs to wind up
the program. The lunch table
was decorated with a cloth in
the Irish motif and laden with
buns, cookies and cakes.

The centrepiece was a
decorated cake, made by
Mrs. Sarah Lauder. The kit
chen was looked after by
Leora Nutter and Florence
Laycock.

How do Teachers Keep Smil-

Principal Phipps explained
the details of the copetition
and Director of Instruction
Lach Farrell, who had been
one of the judges in the
finals, introduced the speak
ers.

In thanking the speakers,
Hugo Smecher commended
them on their good composi.
tion, excellent use of notes,
fine presentation and com
mand of their topics.

“I can understand now,” he
said, “why the judges had
such a difficult time picking
winners.” Several of the
speakers had been only one
point apart in the final totals.

Each of the children was
then given a certificate of
service by club vice-presi-
dent Ron Ross.
