The need for a hospital of our own has long been recognized which is why a group of residents have been asked to investigate its possibility. They have shown that our own hospital is not only entirely possible but will mean a big saving -in money |- and time to the taxpayer, besides filling the obvious community need, Broadminded as we are, we cannot see why any district resident should oppose the hospital project. Yet we know that some are opposing it, Their wishes would not only harm the community, they would harm themselves even more, Such individuals have perhaps never had to go to hospital. ‘We can practically assure them they will have to go i either Just LOOKING Thank’ You By B.G. 0. ~" 5 At Art Nelson had an art exhibit and the Castlegar district:stole a con_ for their own care or to visit a friend.

The desire to express and create beauty seems to be a frag-' ment of the divine spark within all of us; the spark by which the image of the Creator shines in mankind.
