This was one day uhead of the deadline set for this work and speaks well for the en- thusinsm shown by tise on the Job.

Much credit is due to these men for their community spirit, It was noted that only a small number of those giving labor were curlers and a special letter has been sent to the curling ex. ecutive to see if this situation can be remedied.

This Sunday at 9 am. 30 men and boys are needed to as- sist in levelling the inside of the arena. Trucks and loaders have been donated to carry fine sand into the building and men with rakes are needed to finish the job.

The floor area has been staked for level and the sand will provide an excellent base

PLANS FOR ARENA WIRING IN HAND

Oct. 1%, 1957 Definite plans to wire the District arena were presented by A. Sylvest and W. Thorp at a regular meeting of the Project Society directors on Tuesday. Mr, Sylvest and Mr. Thorp have been working on the plans for the past week and ‘they showed two plans which ceuld be used for wiring the arena, It was decided to have the cost of the plans

” he president's remarks were endorsed by Art Anderson, who - felt credit should go also to Colin Petts for his help in the electrical work and mention should be made of donations of paint by Oglow Bros.

Murray Little said Mr. San- derson had “undoubtedly” done more work than anybody else in ali phases of the 1957 con- struction year,

Chairman of the’ building committee, Art Anderson, spoke on plans for the future. A sug- gestion was made that directors study the ideas of applying as- phalt to the rink floor to over- come the drawback of the gravel and dirt, As some felt the asphalt might interfere with laying of pipes at a later date the direc. tors were asked to conslt ex: pert opinion and to proceed with the plans if it did not interfere with long range plans,

A FINE JOB BY KIWANIS

The Castlegar Kiwanis Club has done a splendid job for the rink in running two big bingos and raising in the neighborhood of some $2,000 for this worthy cause.

The members of this organ- ization, busy men in the com- munity, must have a feeling of satisfaction in the results of their efforts and the time devoted to this project.

The 1957 financial statement ‘was approved and a motion was passed to re-appoint Mrs. Fan- ny Stoochnoff as auditor for the Society in 1958, .

The president's report on the Past year’s activities was given by C, F. Sanderson, who had taken over the position in June when the then president, C. Loe- blich, was unable to carry on.

In the reporting on the work

done during his term of office, Mr, Sanderson pointed out the successful accomplishment of three main objectives, namely sheathing and painting of the end walls of the rink, inside leveling and electrical! wiring.

All of these jobs, said Mr. Sanderson, had been done by vol- unteer labor, sometimes difficult te cbtain, but with “sweat and tears," meetings and help from certain people, ther? had result. ed about $7,000 of capital im- provements to the arena.

The Curling Club wished to go ahead and raise money to install an ice plant for curling rinks, the agreement ensuring they would be given building materials to erect their own building in the event the arena was developed by the Project Society or village to the point Where the Curling Club would be asked to move out,
