Money Jingles
At Stampede Time

Any doubt that the Stampede is
not worth money to the town can be
dispelled after considering the. in-
formation on concessions and enter-
tainment.

The ‘gate’ figure for the Stampede
itself was $5430.00, up a thousand
dollars over 1954. Biggest single day
was Dominion Day when $3,092 was

collected.
was turned
people away.

According to reports from various
concession groups, the total gross
sales of grounds. concessions, dances
wrestling and the gate figure aboye
amounts to just under $15,000.

Add to this the money passed over
the counters of business establish-
ments up town by Stampede visitors
and you have some conception of
what the show means to Williams
Lake and its organizations in a|
monetary- way.

Trade Group Scores Condition
Of Rural Telephone Service

An important meeting was held
July 7 by the Horsefly Board of
Trade. In spite of inclement weather.
goodly portion of the 55 members
were present. The meeting being well
timed and well conducted, specific
issues were thoroughly gone into.

Chairman Harry Brown, opened
tho meeting with a welcome to the
members and visitors, while the see-
retary busied himself renewing the
membership of several people.

The telephone service for Horsefly
wes dealt with. It was claimed that
since the British Columbia Tele-
phone Company took over the lines,
the service has been more inefficient
and more expensive than it has ever
been in the past. The disappointment
in the poor service and at times the
complete lack of service. also the
toll charge on the party line, which
is unheard of in the southern part of
the province was expressed. A mo-
tion was put forward and carried
that immediate+action be taken by
the Board.

Next on the agenda came a short
talk by Mr. Brown regarding pro-
posed construction of an addition to
the hospital in Williams Lake It was
pointed out that although Federal
and Provincial Governments will pay
a generous part of the cost, fifteen
thousand’ dollars was still needed.
This, to come from the people.

The eyening was rounded off with
a pleasant half hour talk by John
Weinard, forest ranger for this area
telling of the work, the aims, the ac-
complishments and some of the diff
culties of the Poresty Department iv
this district. His helpful information
qwas greatly appreciated.

MORE remarks about the recent
convention. Due to the lack of cer-
tain information a week ago, no men-
tion was made of the men’s organiza-
tions here.

The Farmers Institute and Cattle.
men’s Association for Cariboo D:

* trict

“HH,” held their convention
jointly with the Women’s Institute.

|The men met in the Community Hall,

the women in the school.

Due to poor weather and road con-
ditions few delegates were able to
attend, which proved something of a
handicap, Fred Jones, Black Creek,
president of the Horsefly Farmers
Institute and Cattlemen’s Associa-
tign, and Jack Wynsta, secretary-
treasurer of the local group, presided
at the meeting. In the absence of
Mr. Truman, Dragon Lake, president
of the Farmers Institute for Distriet
“HH,” Mr. Wynstra, who is vice-
president for District “H’” took the
chair. Rod MacLeod filled in as sec-
retary for the meeting, in the ab-
sence of Mr. Vernon, Bouchie Lake.
Mr. E. Greenlee, Canim Lake, direc-
tor of the Advisory Board, was of
great assistance throughout the
meeting.

Several resolutions were read and
discussed, and in conjunction with
the. Women’s Institutes, a joint res-
olution was drawn up, condemning
the poor condition of the Horsefly-
Williams Lake road.

Mr. Greenlee was re-elected to the
advisory hoard.

Mr. Harry Brown, chairman for
the local Board of Trade gave a wel-
coming address to the mixed- group
during the luneheon hour. Mr
Greenlee also gave an_ interesting
talk on the work and aims of the In-
sututes. Mrs. Greenlee accomanied
her husband here for the convention
