Upgrading of Columbia Gardens is Urged

Any move elsewhere that might affect the future of the Castlegar Airport is of concern and interest here. With that in mind, the following editorial dealing with the Columbia Gardens airfield near Waneta is reprinted from the Trail Times,

* *. *

Acity without an airport these daysis like a man without a foot. He can still move but he's not going to win any races,

Trail has had an airport for many years. It was adequate in the 1930s; barely adequate in the 1950s; inadequate since except for small airplanes operating in daylight and good weather.

While many another centre's airport “foot” has been strengthened, Trail's has not and is now in some danger of withering away. This is gloomy news what with races’ to attract new industry under way and in the offing.

City council and the Trail Flying Club, anticipating more activity and alert to the danger of losing what little we have, want the Ministry of.Transport to upgrade the local airport facilities. Interested citizens are being asked to speak at a public hearing soon to be called by the MOT to determine need,

MOT officials will be. responsive to constructive sugestions and evidence of need. However, we wonder if the case for a substantial grant as outlined by the flying club is strong enough to measure up to their criteria.

Yes Sir, Classified Ads Sure Get Quick Results This is an unabashed plug for the i of this “s classified ads

section!

We know the effectiveness of these little “mighty mite ads”, but we usually rely for this information on our customers telling us of the job they do. Another method we use to gauge their effectiveness is by being aware of the number of people who place a classified ad to run for three insertions and then phone in after the ad has appeared only once, or ‘perhaps twice, and cancel it because the items have been sold.

Within the past couple of months the publisher of this newspaper has had personal experience with the great job these low-cost ads do in selling useable secondhand items.

The first ad placed was for a baby carriage. It was sold after the ad ran only once and further insertions were cancelled,

The second classified ad was for some bamboo drapes. They were sold within a few days, after the ad appeared only once.

The third experience occurred last week when a couple of 2x12's were advertised. They were sold the day the paper was published and the phone was still ringing with enquiries earlier this, week, 5,

Yes, Virginia, it does pay to advertise!

The club suggests that an upgraded Trail airport would ease congestion at Castlegar. The MOT will want proof of that congestion and assurances that improvements at Trail are the solution to the problem.

There's merit in the club's contention that better Customs and Immigration service would

be an asset, U.S, flyers and Canadians returning

to this district are not going to land at Trail if they can't get border clearance conveniently and inexpensively,

‘This is significant, the club says, in view of Expo '74 traffic. Perhaps, but a tremendous amount of work would have to be done in a hurry if the Trail airport is to be ready in time for the big fair.

It also seems to us that an inerease in the use of private airplanes should precede rather than fallow an appeal for improved facilities. In brief, a lot more flying here would impress the MOT; great expectations may. not. But unfortunately, Trailites aren't as airminded as people in flat SOUNEEY and the local scene offers little to float plane

Reliable air ambulance service is interest- ing in view of our hospital's regional responsibilities. However the MOT is bound to ask: “Would a helicopter ambulance pad right at the hospital do the trick?”

“Definite interest by industrial clients” will have to be spelled out. Which clients? How much traffic? The possibility of one or two “maybe” flights a week won't cut much ice in Ottawa,

airport here should attract flying visitors from far and wide. How many? Who. knows! Assuming that the energy crisis is real and will be with us for some time, costly new facilities may not be in order if fewer people are flying because avgas is scarce and expensive.

Potential for pilot training from Selkirk College sounds like an elaboration of the

“congestion at Castlegar” argument. But if the course expands and commercial acitivity at Castlegar increases, an upgraded Trail airport might well offer advantages,

Charter flight potential is possible, the club says. Frankly, it's difficult to imagine charter services duplicating facilities at small airports only an hour's drive apart, After all, anything that’s flown must move on the ground to or from either Castlegar or Columbia Gardens (Trail).

Hopefully the MOT will see fit to foster plans for Trail's languishing airport. Trail should not be deprived of that “foot” it will need sooner or later to keep up with the jet age. And the flying club deserves encouragement to do its thing and expand.

But to sell a big airport upgrading project in the near future will call for more than briefs

from City council and local flyers. Many people ©

with plenty to say at the MOT hearing could have a decisive influence. We urge you to accept the Trail Flying

Club's invitation to pltend and make yourgelf7.,

Watergate Shows Any Man Can be a Tyrant

too often took the law into their own hands or presumed their cause was so moral that it superceded the rule of law.

And the media people, sympathetic with the rebel cause, whined and whimpered for the kids who were “oppressed”.

Now it appears. that at least some of the law-and-order gang were doing exactly the same thing, putting the moral- ity of their cause. and the re-election of Richard Nixon above the rule of law.

If things were truly fair {and aren't, of course) the media would now be defending the beleaguered Mitchells and Haldemans. But we should not be surprised that there is no even handedness. And from what is happening, we could even be forgiven for believing that they are out to “get” ‘te President, though that will surely fail.

The unhappy lesson of Watergate is that any man can become a tyrant. It matters not one whit what his philosophy is, or the shade of his politics. It is not the left nor the right that corrupts but the human heart at the centre.

That all men have fallen natures should not need to be repeated. It is obvious enough

+ inany country of the world. But

the notions of total infallibility and total rightness persist and grow. Strangely, or perhaps not so strangely, the more obviously corrupt a man be- comes, the more difficult it becomes to convince him that

* he is in need—and that he lacks

a Saviour.

The Scripture says it plainly and frequently. “All we like sheep have gone astray.”

Surely the greatest delu- sion of all is this: “Our cause is right so we can do no wrong.”

Rabbits Have Sixteen Naps During the Day

Are you'a sound sleeper?

Researchers on_ sleeping times of animals find that rabbits usually have about 16 regularly spaced naps during the day.

Some. birds ‘are light sleepers, exploding from their nests at the first sign of danger; others, “like the ~ Australian frogmouth, sleep. so soundly that they may be lifted from their perches without waking.

So.much for research.

Baskets of white gladiola and mauve mums provided a gracious floral setting at St. David's Anglican Church in a pretty afternoon wedding at which Phyllis Gaye Popoff became the bride of Robert James Gold,

Rev. Tarry ducted the double ring cere- mony. Mra, F. Hostetter played the wedding music while Margie Kanigan played her guitar and sang “A Place for Love to Grow” while the couple signed the marriage register.

The bride is the daughter of Mr, and Mra. John Popoff, longtime residents of Castlegar and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs, Robert Gold of Maple Creek, Sask.

The bride entered the church on the arm of her father looking lovely in her gown of white. satin’ with matching hooded overcoat. The gown had white appliqued daisies which wre carried through on the coat and on the bell-shaped sleeves.

Completing her bridal attire was a gold cross, a gilt from the groom. She carried a bouquet of imported yellow baby roses and white mums.

Her maids of honor were Dianne Arnason, Donna Popoff and Jane Gold, who all wore identical gowns of colorful floral chiffon. They carried baskets of pink, yellow and white flowers, all mado by the bride's mother. They wore heart-shaped neck- laces, gifts from the bride.

The charming flower girls

were the bride's niece, Cheryl +

Popoff and sister-in-law, Barbie Gold. They both carried little flower baskets and wore mauve gowns,

The groom wore a pin- stripe navy tuxedo. His attend- ants were Bob Munson of Maple Creek, Sask., as best man with Jim Munson and John Mains as groomsmen. Ushering were Bill Montgomery and Jim Litze. All were attired in tuxedos. é

Mrs.-Diane Ansell was in charge of the guest book.

Kids Blamed For Grass Fire

The Castlegar Fire Depart- ment responded to a grass and tubbish fire last Friday evening during the supper hour.

The fire, on the riverbank near 6th and Cedar, was “knocked down” in less than 15 minutes’ time.

Fire chief Ed Lewis says children are suspected as the cause of the fire. ss
