'o.Re.Merry, Be Wary

As you and I prepare for the Yuletide that will be with us once again next weekend, we would do well to remember last Christmas and the Castlegar Ferry.

The triple drowning tragedy there, at the peak of last year’s Christmas festivities, was a grim and terrible shock to the whole’ community, which made’ Christmas considerably less merry for everyone,

None of us want to see another. such tragedy at any time, much less at a festive such a: enough, how-

Post-Election Thoughts

The results of the municipal cloctlons and the school loan ref- vote last of things. First of. all, Castlegar District ratepayers showed ‘that most of them are in favor of pi ng their district's needs.

The referendum vote was also a vote of confidence in the work the school board are doing. The referendum was approved with a margin of 8 per cent more than required in spite of the fact con- siderable opinion prevailed that there’ were too many frills pro- posed. But some of the ratepayers at least, must have said to them- selves: “I still think this isn’t all necessary. But it would be a shame to deprive my chi of the which are

Then too, the school board and the ‘Department of Education have carefully studying our needs for some time. They're in. the best position to know what our kids need if they're to get the best education that they’re entitled to. So I'll vote for the by-law.”

The return, to office of two Castlegar commissioners, was also a vote of confidence in their work. It was an expression of thanks from the public. Fer that’s the Way John Q.
