News that the old Minto that served people and communities along the Arrow Lakes from Robson to Arrowhead so well for so many years is available for $1 from the present owner brings mixed reactions.

The -Minto should never have left Castlegar or Nakusp in the first place, but both communities at the’ time the CPR had it for sale were too small in popula- tion to properly care for it. Now the Min- to is available and the Castlegar-Kinnaird- Robson population is certainly large eno- ugh to support the restoration of the boat — but it’s presently beached some 90 miles up the lake.

News that the boat is available comes at a time when both Castlegar. and Kin- naird are well advanced on their Centen- nial projects. The Kinnaird swimming pool change ‘rooms and wading pool project

‘Ject. oy But some group should — at the very least — investigate the possibility of obtaining the Minto and the setting up of it in, the Castlegar area. Such an important part of our history should not be lost forever without at least a try be- ing made at keeping it.

Here are some ideas — some good, some bad — that are worth investigation:

But if there.is pleasure for grandparents there is also: the duty — a most important © thing — of providing love: aud affection.

It is most probable that the ills of society stem from the fact that the children have not had enough ‘affection in their early days. A society in the U.S, recognizes this by provid- ing foster grandparents for children in institu- tions. It works, too. You can be foster grand- parents. Just smile at the children in your block instead of putting on that frozen face. Why even those wild eyed sour faced adoles- cent girls will smile back and the joke of it is that in a couple of year’s time they will be so pretty that you won't dare to smile at them.
